Before his condition reached such a state, Corey had used his Eyes of Omniscience to scout the last location where Kiefer told all of them a herb was located, and to his surprise, he did not only see a question, he saw an encampment of over a hundred soldiers.
These soldiers were of various factions, organizations, and groups, and they all had different positions at the edge of the grassy plains of the Chained Firmament.
Although one might not know at first, Corey could see it from his Eyes of Omniscience that these factions had created a border that would not allow one to easily move from the grassy plains to region of Colossal Trees and vice versa.
When he saw the border that they had made, he became baffled for several reasons.
The first question he had in his mind, was why they created a border.
The second question was why there were so many factions in the creation of the border.
