Ayda Elisantra
Angel of Mercy
It serves two purposes. If I allow my stay in a body too long, my own spirit set..takes to root in the current temple, entrapping me and i then succumb to mortality. The body ages and dies...and i along with it.
I must switch bodies to survive. And those bodies must also not be set. They must still be developing inside and out. that means the soul I devour to take their bodies must be sweet...not to spoiled.
Then there is the allure of a young body which easily can move about with little suspicion. And can much more readily get closer to victims as young bodies are not seen as threatening. That and it is much easier to attract other sweet souls of same age, as it is easier to win their trust..their friendship so to speak. But they are not my true friends, as they think they are mine. It's simply no different than having sheep grazing alongside a shepherd. The sheep trust the shepherd. And the shepherd waits till the sheep are ripe for the slaughter.
It's one of many ways I can explain it.
