It's hard to say what it really was, except for using the word 'the fruit'. I Couldn't see it, but I felt immense energy going through my fingers when they met the surface of whatever it was. I felt numbness slowly claiming my body, and I didn't really know how to react.
Instinct was telling me to pull out, leave the damn thing, but what sense did it have? I needed to consume the fruit, not run away from it, so I pushed deeper, and the surge of power overwhelmed me.
A few things happened at the same time. I could feel my muscles spasming, my body changing as the cells mutated. I was growing stronger physically at a very rapid pace.
At the same moment, the surface of the device started shrinking, like somebody was sucking the moisture out of it. The process continued until the only thing left was a dried-up seed in my hands, and I could feel the energy pulsing in me. So many things have changed. I just felt it.
