Ethan found a place to settle in the small town.
He sat in what seemed to be an old grocery store residence, with Isean using magic to light a lamp on the table. Before her were hard bread and a cup of water. She seemed to have not eaten for a long time and gobbled up the food.
Ethan silently took note of this scene. She looked like a ghost, yet had a physical form, able to collide with objects, and seemed to retain some human instincts.
Most of the paint on the grocery store's walls had peeled off, with various-sized holes present. The dark cavities did not let light through, and occasionally, worm-like creatures could be seen squirming inside. The shelves no longer held common supplies but were filled with specimens of unknown creatures.
He also saw some familiar faces.
In the corner of the grocery store stood three torches, trapping a creature made of various human parts pieced together erratically, deeply fearing the flames and curling its body into a meat lump.
