Another thought briefly crosses his mind. Why does he need to banish Izen now? He’s not afraid of the power anymore. He feels so much better now that he’s given in. Maybe he should kill Izen instead, to make sure nobody else can ever banish him and rob Shae of his newfound strength. Or he could join with Izen, work together to become even more powerful, consume even more, and kill anyone who ever tries to stop them.
