Awakening

Back in the mountains Tral awakens from strange dreams of a scientific facility and blood, lots of strangely intoxicating life fluids.

He snaps up to find Darick nearby cooking up what looks to be ant stew. His friend intent on his work doesn't notice him but he can't help but find something attractive about his childhood companion... something that smells delicious yet not from the stew.

Tral raises to his feet with an unnatural swiftness without making a single sound.

Drawn in by this maddening smell he slowly approaches his friend despite his best efforts, his mouth opening as he drools uncontrollably.

Acting without ration he leaps at the throat of one of the people he has been closest to his whole life.

"Eh what the fuck are you doing you idiot get off me" Darick reacts immediately flailing about before pulling Tral off of him slamming him into the ground as Tral violently struggles to get free.
