With freedom at hand you would think Damon would be eager to leave. However, that was not the case. Instead he found himself standing in the deepest levels of Eidolon once again.
It wasn't that he didn't want to leave. It was that he couldn't. His body was shattered and all that remained was his heart of shadows. For that reason he had to rebuild his body.
The way to do that was to devour goddess-race corpses, but he didn't have any left here. He could only try to find an alternative.
The alternative in this case was the thousands of shades he had left over from the battle with the Mother of Stillbirths.
Bringing the shades down here had been difficult. Many of them were destroyed when Damon passed through the Garden of Hunger, but the ones that survived should be enough to reconstruct his body.
