One by one figures accompanied by Strawlers popped into the vast, endless-seeming space while gaping and marvelling.

Yuyui, Bassbion, Yagrina, Pherdanta, her brother, Baddan and Grim had been dragged away from their collections of paradise at Replicus' command and now they found themselves faced with his massive form as he looked at a menagerie of suits of armour and odd tools.
