"They can - they can bring people back from the dead?" He sounded absolutely horrified by it, by the scope of that. Bug-people that could capture people and decide if they lived and died on a whim. And from far off places, at that. He'd never heard of Alternia, and he'd been traveling with his family in Tomorrow for about two years now.
Tomorrow wasn't all that different from the old world, anyway, and he'd never found a place called Alternia there, either.
"Where is Alternia?" he asked, trying to figure out just how far these...things had spread their horribleness. "Is that in Tomorrow?"
He clarified, realizing that the troll might not have the same word for it. "There was the old world, that died. Yesterday. And we rode the sun to the new one. It has a lot of the same things. Are you from the same place as me, like maybe somewhere I haven't traveled yet, or from...somewhere else?"
