~~Content warning: Description of borderline starvation~~

Hunger is a poignant pain. Hunger gnaws and corrodes into a chasm of emptiness if unattended. Every creature is hungry now and then. In Equestria there is often plenty to go around, even for the magical and tenacious creatures of the Everfree Forest. Thus, few creatures experience hunger. Those who live at the far edges outside society, or the diamond dogs for example, who do not sufficiently plan to build an efficient one themselves. Even for these, the least in hierarchy's tall ladder, hunger can be appeased before the walls are eroded completely. But some creatures learned to harness the chasm of misery. How to lean into the empty space and find peace within that darkness. They who practice the little-known art of meditative fasting...

It was time to feed. It had been for about a week. The grasping, choking pits in her gut yearned for relief from famine and decay.
Seafoam was becoming exhausted. Fasting was not new to the Huntress, she could withstand a week's withdrawal and yet perform her duties. This was a hearken back to her warrior days to train head and shoulders above the best. Not even the Royal Guard measured to her resilience and skill. Certainly there were none who would voluntarily starve for a week, just for the meditation. Nay, neither would Seafoam. Normally a fast held a few days, enough for hunger pangs to settle deep and draw your full focus. Give the mind an anchor point to align with the body. But this is different. The Huntress has been testing herself. Even half vampires don't strictly need food. Yes it has much the same value to them as it does to ponies, but like four walls, you really only need a roof and a foundation for a home. Blood was such for the vampire. Leaves, grains, and stalk remain great for satisfaction, but conditions without mammal blood are dire. Half vampires such as The Huntress tacitly desire blood after 18 days. By day 25 they crave richly. Day 36 is the limit, sparking the a blind frenzy. In a Blood Frenzy it does not matter how many perish, or what quantities they drink. Only time, blood, and the mind's constitution can the end their trance. Tragically a vampire doesn't die if they don't find any blood to drink despite their frenzy. They only become dull and tired. Every starved breath in agony. Every wayward vessel, a target for their grief. Every vampire's craving for blood is a biological need. Our millennia's Huntress held silent atop her preferred meditation hill. It overlooked almost everything a good view could need: a freshwater stream, pristine meadows, huge trees that shook distantly in the breeze, and fluffy white clouds gliding above. Here the aqua pegasus could be far from civilized distractions, even most wild creatures. At this hilltop she could melt as one with her world. Nothing disturbed her deepest meditations here. But she was in so much pain. Unique pain she sought in order to study of her vampirism. Hunger pains were nominal experiences, she understood and utilized that pain. It's the vampiric craving that dries her, pulling the very willpower from her mind. Seafoam elected to fast from pony foods 7 days ago, knowing the vampiric craving would reach its fever pitch as well. Dated calendars allow her to keep track of her last feeding, so conceptually she understood her limits. Seeking to experience them at full power for herself, she took her leave from Ponyville and came out here to focus on her state. It took 5 days before her state became agonizing. She balanced on the brink of control all through the day and night. It was here she learned the new pangs of vampiric thirst. Dry and sandy pangs drilled through her stomach, her throat burned and swelled, and most painful of all her fangs felt hollow and sensitive. Muscles along the roof of her mouth burned and held tense, sometimes throbbing against her gums, desperate to feel fur or flesh for the fangs to pull fresh blood from. It felt no wonder a Blood Frenzy was inevitable, just as death for starvation. Cognizant of all hunger meditation's cycles, she grit her teeth and bore such pain until noon the sixth day. For her efforts she was awarded a dull peace, and her most earnest meditation began. A time she could focus on her body, and take notes to its state. paradoxically, she felt incredibly alive. But now it is the seventh day. Seafoam knew there was no more peace to be found in her meditation. It could only go downhill from here...

Energy had become a sparse resource. Apathy had set. This practice had one final purpose before she was allowed to eat. Pain. Tests are most challenging at their conclusion, and here she lay in the grass, succumbed to her misery. Sleep was no easy way out anymore. She'd fallen asleep after her meditative session across the sixth day and no longer desired rest. There were no ways to skip her self-imposed torment, only endure to the other side. Somehow she had to make it to the eighth day of her fast. Despite every shallow breath a tormentous effort, her every extremity dull with neglect, and everything from her mouth to her stomach in dire pain, The Huntress had to pull through. With the willpower to endure this, she could survive anything.
