Finn's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
The man leveled his gaze at him again.
"On this island, I'm not the only space fragment bearer. There are two others," the man explained with a tinge of graveness to his tone. "They live in their own distinct territories on the island. And they have very different ideas and perceptions about the Pioneer that is meant to come."
"They already know you're here. The moment you crossed the Stagnant Sea, every fragment bearer on this island felt it, though it was vague."
"Then why haven't they come?" Finn asked with a frown.
"Because they can't simply tear through space within my area of influence," the man explained. "I would spot the spatial disturbance long before it stabilizes enough for them to come through, and I would stop them. This territory is mine, and within it, my control over space is absolute."
His expression darkened.
