Ryan lost interest in the two girls who were his new prisoners the moment they spoke about the blood crystals granting special powers. If Zane had a superpower, then there was no telling what he would do when he found out about what Ryan and the others had done to his camp.
Because of this, Ryan disregarded any potential hazards to his health that might occur if he were to eat the blood crystal like the girls had instructed him to, and popped the item into his mouth. He regretted it instantly, as he felt the urge to vomit. After all, the most disgusting taste he had ever experienced overwhelmed his senses immediately.
But that was just the beginning. The moment he thought he was about to be okay, Ryan began to froth at the mouth as he fell to the floor and began to spasm.
