"A space rift?" Upon hearing Ethan's words, Quel was cloaked in confusion.
While both Quel and Kadiven lacked extensive knowledge concerning spatial matters, there were certain universally accepted truths they were familiar with.
It was commonly believed that within a space rift, another space rift could not exist; if one did, it indicated that the primary rift was on the brink of collapsing.
Yet, the Dragon Garden showed no signs of such impending collapse.
Seeing the puzzlement in their eyes, Ethan elucidated, "Normally, a space rift cannot contain another within it. However, in exceptionally rare circumstances, like within the Dragon Garden with its incredibly stable spatial structure, it's possible for rifts leading elsewhere to emerge."
"Oberlis likely discerned this, and that mark was deliberately left behind by him."
Ethan's words illuminated the understanding of Quel and Kadiven.
