Xephrim Zolks, the New Hollow in Town

*Xephrim wandered the forest of the gillian looking for his next prey. He had enjoyed wandering around murdering the other beasts left and right. It was in his nature to murder so that was what he did. When he turned into this murderous beast the first thing he set out to do had been devouring other souls. Needless to say that didn't satiate his thirst for long. He went on and began to devour his own brethren. Murdering his fellow hollows left and right he began to feel stronger and stronger as time went on. Eventually even devouring his fellow hollows didn't manage to quench his thirst. He needed to kill more powerful hollows and more of them. He returned to his home of hueco mundo prowling the landscape killing the wandering hollow left and right. Overtime his power continued to grow and the numbers continued to increase. Something odd happened to him soon after that, the mass of hollows having been devoured changed him. He changed and morphed until he was a giant creature of destruction. He had evolved into a gillian and he liked the feel of the power. He could tell he had become substantially stronger but he didn't enjoy the form of his body. It was much too large and clumsy for his tastes. Right now though that was not what was important. He came to realize that his thirst was still there and stronger then ever. The more he proceeded the more he needed to feed. He began to think that his thirst for the souls of his brethren would never be quenched. But that thought was soon subsided by the sight of his prey. 'Finally some food. I've been waiting all day for this...' Xephrim thought to himself. The only thing that was more powerful then his thirst was his need to kill. In his mouth he began to charge the crimson red cero. He aimed the blast towards the gillian in the distance that he designated as his target. Once fully charged the blast flew from his mouth and ripped violently through the air. It struck the target gillian hard on the bottom right part of his mask. The gillian's mask cracked and fell apart causing it to roar in pain. Xephrim moved forward as fast as he could towards his prey. He needed to get there before others were attracted to the now injured gillian. Xephrim descended onto his prey and began to rip at the gillian's flesh with his teeth and claws. As he slowly devoured his prey he could feel his thirst being slowly quenched. The power that flowed through him whenever he devoured another gillian felt amazing to him. It was like he was being slowly revitalized and then bringing himself to newer heights he never even knew existed. Once he had finished devouring the last of his meal he began to look around for his next prey. He knew that his needed to feed would arise again very soon. That coupled with his overwhelming desire to kill made him always needing to find prey. He continued to wander the forest looking for the next gillian that would be unfortunate enough to cross his path. After wandering for a good twenty minutes Xephrim landed the jackpot. In the distance he could see a group of three gillian just standing. They didn't even look like they were interacting with one another. They were just, standing there. 'Something doesn't seem right. Three gillian, in the middle of nowhere. None of them are interacting. Either I'm incredibly lucky, or this is a trap.' Xephrim said thinking to himself. But standing around staring at the group of gillian wasn't going to give him an answer. He charged forward at the group roaring like a wild animal. In his mouth he charged another cero which glowed the familiar crimson red. Once fully charged he fired the cero at the gillian in the middle hitting it right in the face. The gillian's mask shattered as it fell backwards down to the floor of the forest dead. Xephrim turned his gaze on to the gillian standing to his left and rushed at him biting his neck and left shoulder. He ripped flesh away from its neck as pulled away from it. He clawed wildly ripping and shredding flesh from his prey. While doing so he began to charge yet another cero in his mouth. Landing the final blow on the gillian he was currently beating on he turned his gaze to the last gillian and fired off the cero. The third and final gillian had been doing the same and fired his own cero at Xephrim. The two ceros clashed and exploded violently leaving a cloud of smoke. Not wasting a beat Xephrim shot forward at the final gillian and slashed at its mask digging deep grooves into it with his claws. Now distracted by its injuries Xephrim was biting down on the gillian's neck ripping out a large chunk of flesh. He continued to bite and bite and claw and claw at his prey until the gillian was in ribbons. With the three dead he stood amidst the corpses of his fallen brethren and looked around. After waiting a few seconds he concluded that he had indeed managed to get very lucky. Turning back to feed on the corpses he was rewarded from his hard labors by being empowered once again.*

*Xephrim continued to wander the woods. He had grown annoyed with the relatively small amount of prey he had been able to locate as of late. It was a very slim possibility that the other gillian were beginning to thin out but it was a possibility. He thought briefly about going to the world of the living. Perhaps he could manage to get his hands on a delicious shinigami. Their reiryoku was quite a delicacy especially those that are stronger. It could however mean the end of him if he met an opponent that was too strong. He would put that idea on hold until he could manage to murder more efficiently. He would also like to move on to his next form of evolution to gain more power. He had on the occasion seen adjuchas wandering around. They seemed to enjoy gathering followers to help kill off larger groups of gillians at a time. Xephrim would love to just run in and start killing but against an adjuchas he would just be wasting his life. Resigning himself to a sort of despair Xephrim wandered the forest looking for pray. At this point he would have even settled for some weaker hollows. Unfortunately they were all much too afraid to even wander into the menos forest. That was when Xephrim saw a sight which could have made him cry. Several yards off he saw a group of five gillians battling with an adjuchas. The adjuchas was obviously outnumbered and being overpowered but was putting up a good fight. Xephrim being the way he was saw this as an opportunity for a feeding frenzy. He normally could have just helped the gillian kill the adjuchas and get a portion of the prey he could just kill them all with a surprise attack and have it all for himself. Charging a cero in his mouth he aimed it into the crowd of gillians. He was sure to try and aim for a fatal blow on at least one or two of the gillian. Once he had finished charging up his cero he let it rip into the crowd of gillians for good damage. The cero ripped through the head of the gillian closest to him and then ripped off a quarter of another gillians face. Exiting out the other side of the group the cero manage to rip off another gillians arm and take a chunk of its left side as well. The gillian that had its head destroyed fell to the ground in a dead clump. The other two gillians roared in pain and were distracted by their injuries. The other two uninjured gillians as well as the adjuchas were also in a frenzy trying to figure out what happened. In the midst of the confusion Xephrim began to charge yet again another cero while charging into the group. He launched out a premature cero due to lack of time to fully charge. He managed to finish off the gillian that had part of its head destroyed and also injured one of the uninjured gillians. Rushing in at the uninjured gillian he clawed downwards at its face and upper body leaving deep grooves in it. From behind Xephrim hadn't noticed one of the gillians got up and came at him. He ended up getting a nasty bite right into his right shoulder ripping off a piece of his flesh. He swung around and roared in anger. He wiped his arm back clawing at the gillians face that had just bitten him. It was the gillian that had its arm blown off and the grooves being put into its face was enough for a final blow as it fell to the ground. At this point Xephrim was in a rage of bloodlust. He descended down on the adjuchas that was injured but still able bodied. He clawed at it ineffectively as it moved out of the way. The adjuchas then jumped up at him and ripped at his flesh leaving several deep gashes down his body. Xephrim in retaliation charged up a cero to fire at the adjuchas. To try and distract the adjuchas from the cero he tried to stomp on him resulting on another dodge from him. In the mean time he had manage to finish charging the cero right when the adjuchas jumped out of the way. He shot the cero down at where the adjuchas landed and enveloped it in its destructive blast. Xephrim relaxed for a bit thinking he was done but yet again he was attacked from behind. The gillian that had its face slashed came at him and clawed down his back and then bit his already injured right shoulder. Xephrim pulled away allowing a chunk of his flesh to be ripped out once more. He then turned and clawed wildly at the gillian ripping its face and upper body to pieces. It fell to the ground dead leaving a heavily injured Xephrim standing in the midst of a bunch of corpses. He slowly began to feed on the bodies to replenish his strength. He devoured the flesh of his fallen brethren and began to feel the energy flowing through him. Their power was being added to his own as he became stronger and stronger. He had finished devouring his fellow gillians and had fully recovered from his wounds as such. He was finally left with the adjuchas laying dead on the ground. He reached down and picked up the corpse. He then began to slowly devour the body. It was much richer in power and oddly enough flavor then the gillians. The much larger content of power contained in its soul as well made it quite the treat for Xephrim. Once he finished the adjuchas he felt its immense power flow through him making him feel invincible. He roared loudly into the forest to warn his potential prey that he was coming. He then went off wandering into the woods again looking for more to eat.*
