Chrysalis

Chapter 902

"Are you sure that you aren't responsible, Eldest?"

"What are you talking about, Sloan? I've been the soul of caution out here. All of this can be blamed on the plant. How are we supposed to know that the kaarmodo and the bruan'chii are having some sort of dust up?"

"From what we've been able to gather it has something to do with resources and land in the fourth and fifth strata."

"We have our sources, Eldest."
