and I <strong>be</strong>g <strong>of</strong> thee: honor thy word."<br />

"I have one last question <strong>be</strong>fore I leave... have you seen a small, bronze<br />

sphere anywhere here?"<br />

Hargrimm shook its head. "I have seen no such thing, here. Perhaps deeper<br />

<strong>be</strong>neath Sigil... search the drowned catacombs. Thou shalt find the entrance<br />

<strong>to</strong> that place west <strong>of</strong> where thou first came here. Leave now, and <strong>do</strong> <strong>not</strong><br />

disturb the dead. Mary and I have much <strong>to</strong> talk about." Mary nodded, and<br />

she patted my cheek gently, "Muuuh unduuuh." <br />

Chapter 37<br />

Down the dimly lit halls <strong>of</strong> the Dead Nations and through the gates I entered<br />

combing through the rest <strong>of</strong> these damn catacombs, it seemed even less<br />

feasible that I'd find it in this dank little corner <strong>of</strong> Sigil.<br />

ancient furniture were scattered about the place. Before the c<strong>of</strong>fins were<br />

moved in it might've <strong>be</strong>en a tavern until it sank <strong>be</strong>neath the city. "We look<br />

<strong>to</strong> exsssspand our home. Eliminate enemiessss... find food <strong>to</strong> keep from<br />

chewing on walking meat, yessss? The Silent King tellsss usss... no walking<br />

meat."<br />

"Are these the Drowned Nations?"<br />

"Thiss? Thisss iss the Drowned Nationsss, yesss," he hissed, "Thisss iss our<br />

new hunting lair. Thisss... thissss is our larder."<br />
