Torivors on Earth

  “I believe Lorenzo and Kendo were right,” Trillian said. “I believe a torivor would be rendered powerless if he followed the Pilgrim Path to Earth.”

  “Can you be sure?” Cole asked.

  “I am nearly convinced already,” Trillian said. “I can see the nature of your world through your memories. I know what happened to Kendo Rattan after he walked the path. I must confess it warms my heart to witness him powerless. After all, he did help imprison me here. His condition suggests that many of the principles of power that function in the Outskirts do not function in your world. Torivors are eternal beings. We are suited to eternal places. Your world is much more firmly rooted in time than the Outskirts. Here, time is more of an imitation. Still, to be absolutely sure I would need to investigate.”
