Jason's surroundings, the shattered streets, began to slowly vanish.
No!
It wasn't vanishing!
But rather... being replaced!
Jason glanced around, and he knew instantly.
Everything before him was illusionary but also somewhat real; it was created by that locust using those 'rivers' and it's own power. Now that the locust had been consumed by him, everything naturally reverted to its original state.
Despite having consumed the locust, Jason couldn't help but admire the creature's abilities.
Bizarre, silent.
Really hard to guard against.
Of course!
It really was delicious enough!
Even with the most simplistic cooking methods, the flavor of the other had been magnified to the extreme.
Jason, reminiscing on the delicacy of the 'food,' looked towards the text before him.
