A heart calls..

[Crux]

After what seemed to be forever, Crux found himself inside a town, he moved through the alleyways behind buildings until his body finally stopped. Out in the opening, a rather young boy sat. "Hearts..consuming hearts is what I do." echoed through his head as he moved towards the boy.

[Crux]

Crux's body flattened into the ground as he continued to move closer and then at about five feet away he leap from the ground and slung himself at the boy, hitting him with his body.

As the boy fell forward, hitting the ground, Crux flattened into the ground once more and moved under him and hit the boy again. As the boy fell back he jumped onto the boy's chest and used his hand to dig into his body, taking the heart.

After everything had happened, Crux seemed to come back to his senses, or his new senses, he could 'feel' the presence of all the hearts in the area around him. "I feel...stronger after taking that heart." he thought to himself. "Consuming hearts, strengthens me."

Crux flattened himself into the ground and began to move through the shadows of buildings and other objects as he observed the human's going about their day. He stopped below a large building and waited. "I don't want to draw to much attention or else it'll be harder to take hearts for myself." he noted to himself.

[Crux]

Crux watched as the humans moved to and fro, never leaving from their little groups, until they were all gone. "Pft, well there is always another time." he said to himself as he started to move through the ground into the ever growing shadows.

[Crux]

Crux came up out of the ground closer to the castle that he came from. Just what am I and why do I feel the need for more hearts? he asked himself as he just stopped moving anymore and looked up to the looming castle. There are more just like me in there, but what purpose do we serve, who made us, what made us?
