Was he really inside a creature's body?
Sylas touched the walls again. They didn't feel like flesh in the slightest. If anything, on a second attempt—even while specifically looking for a fleshly feel—it felt even more inorganic than before.
Unless this was something beyond his understanding, these walls were real rock and stone.
Another oddity was that what kind of digestive system worked like this? Why were there pockets of acid instead of a whole stomach?
'Just how large is this creature?'
Sylas knew the answer already. On a small enough scale, if you shrank down enough, even the human body might have pockets like this.
The stomach lining, and the intestines especially, were designed to maximize surface area. Many things in the body were like that. The lungs, for example, had veins designed to branch and shrink until you could finally get to a point where oxygen and CO₂ could be exchanged with blood.
