**Hunger had become nothing but an itch.**

**He had learned to suppress it after these years of famine that plagued the Underground.**

**Famine was a disease that had long remained uncured. Most Monsters resorted to cannibalism, he and his brother were no exception.**

**However, he stopped caring about his own hunger years ago. Nothing mattered as long as he kept his brother fed. It didn't matter how he got it.**

**He wouldn't eat.**

**He wouldn't think about how hungry he was.**

**He willed himself awake. Even as his bones brittled, and his magic weakened.**

**He wouldn't let himself or his brother become someone's meal.**
