To reverse the effects of civilization would destroy the dreams of a lot of people. There's no way around it.

"It's curious though--you don't usually show up until it's time to bury him. ↗

When they passed the centaur king's cell, Volos pointed at Regin and slid his forefinger across his throat. She replied, "Hey, didn't I see you in a donkey show down in Tijuana? No? You've got a twin then-- ↗
