Can't a father go out with his family again without something ruining it? I would have been happy if it had been just traffic causing the issue, but no, it had to be something much more outrageous – the apocalypse. Imagine what was supposed to be a family outing turning into a fight for survival against zombies in an instant. It doesn't change much, though. I'm still trying to be the best husband and father I can be, and the apocalypse ain't changing that!
Unlike before when Malachi had decided to absorb the crystal hearts he had in hand after the encounter with the two mutated birds, where he was not in the state to enjoy the pleasure absorbing crystal hearts gave, Malachi allowed himself to slightly indulge in the pleasure now.
However, the moment of pleasure was bound to stop, as it was only a single crystal heart after all.
When the crystal heart condensed into a crystal, which indicated the energy in it had been exhausted, Malachi turned to inspect its appearance.
And just like Malachi expected, the crystal was also different compared to the ones he currently had stored.
Unlike those crystals that were coloured red all over, this one had one of its tips coloured in orange, but it was only a small part.
It was indeed only a small part, but that alone was enough to classify it as something different from the other ones.
