The last stop

Lost Ones could absorb essence from any recently dead creature, it didn't matter what it was, that power made no distinctions between humans or otherwise.

This left a bad taste in his mouth but it was even worse was knowing how that hunger took over his senses and made him absorb that essence even when he didn't want to.

They were now following the bandit leader to the nest that was not too far from the camp apparently.

The bandit was gagged so that he wouldn't suddenly shout to reveal their location to the Ravenfolk. This was a necessary precaution that couldn't be overlooked in the slightest.

Aldrich believed that he had intimidated this guy into complying but that was a far-cry from enough to get him to believe this bandit.

And yet still his thoughts wandered to that insatiable hunger and how it drove his body to act against his will. And the satisfaction that came after absorbing that essence.
