As Taufik finished all he needed to do on Midgard, he turned to Elaria and Thalia.
"It's time for you both to go back," he said softly, forming a faint ripple of light that expanded into a radiant gate.
Elaria hesitated for a moment, glancing at Thalia, who seemed deep in thought.
Taufik didn't say much else, he knew Thalia would have a lot to explain once she returned to her mother. Whether the Dawnmother accepted or not, that was no longer his concern.
He simply waved his hand, and in a gentle sweep of brilliance, the two vanished through the gate, returning to the Kingdom of Light.
When the light faded, silence returned.
The world stood still again, only the whisper of wind and the distant hum of the newly awakened Mana lingered in the air.
Taufik exhaled quietly. He was alone once more.
