As Taufik watched, a brilliant rainbow glow swallowed Thor and Loki whole, their figures dissolving into the cascading light until nothing remained but the fading shimmer of the Bifröst.
He took a slow, steady breath, then snapped his fingers. A ripple split the air, and the Void opened once more before him.
From within that darkness, Thalia and Elaria stepped out.
They glanced around cautiously, eyes scanning the area. When they saw no sign of the two gods, both exhaled in relief.
"…Are they gone already?" Elaria asked.
Taufik nodded, releasing another quiet sigh.
"...Fik, there," Thalia suddenly said, pointing toward the still-flickering Void, "I see three figures… who are they?"
Taufik followed her gaze. "Hmm? You know one of them, Lembu. The other two are his brother, Basukhi, and my subordinate, Kl'lara"
"Lembuswana? That doll?" Thalia asked in surprise.
Taufik nodded.
