chapter 537 – What are you really made of?
As I flee down the dark, cold tunnel of the second strata with my pets, I try to get a sense of the strength possessed by the Golgari behind us. The first few are just massive.

“Why did I think this was a good idea?” “I have to say, Eldest, I’m not entirely sure.
