Newfound Power

I crouched down next to the black plant. The entire thing was black, but there was a large fruit the size of an apple. My hand felt it, it was very soft. Lined across the stalk that held that fruit were many wilted flowers.

In total, there were ten of these fruits. My hand held the fruit and pulled it from the stalk.

After a bit of hesitation, the fruit was tossed into my mouth. The fruit was very soft and chewy, with a strong taste of honey.

The experience was pleasant, but the sweetness was a little too strong.

Though before my stomach really wanted something, right now my hand was holding my mouth to prevent myself from vomiting.

Now that I think about it, something that fed a lizard that size must have been dense.

After the urge to vomit disappeared, the effects of the fruit kicked in.

My body became akin to a furnace, the heat emitted surely matched what the fire spell could output.

As uncomfortable as it was, it was nowhere near how it felt after eating the peppers.
