They Never Came Back

Of all the things she had witnessed, this was a first for Ming Yue. 

Such a gruesome transformation was certainly not faint for the heart. The cultist's presence had this eerie feeling resembling that of the beast's, only far more messy. They weren't quite human but they also couldn't be considered creatures from another world.
