"You can't even begin to fathom the things this place makes me wonder." The statement is light, almost said in humor. Still, there was a truth to the words, even if Balthazar belied none of that. Although he was certain the same could be said of any of these poor bastards traveling with him. "If they wanted us to go back to their little city so badly, why not transport us there safely? Why this whole production?" Considering the landscape alone could kill them off, it seemed like an exercise in futility and mismanaged time.

If that didn't tip off people to the fact that something was terribly off about everything, then there was obviously no hope for them. "A powerful, omniscient overlord sets his experiments free to roam a dangerous land, despite all the time and effort he's put into them. Deja vu." Balthazar chuckles, despite himself.
