"Feeds on blood?"
Carlos stared at this mysterious black egg. Between them, a barely noticeable bond had formed.
He steadied himself, his face deep in thought.

Carlos's face went a bit pale -
early warning signs of losing too much blood, but luckily with Child of Nature and Dawn Flame backing him up,
his healing game was off the charts. In a heartbeat, his color bounced right back...
Time crawled by.
