Loki parted the jagged island with the obelisk with his giant hand as though it was smoke. The smoke blew past them, as did the tilted floating broken lands, though the Ancient did not move. Isa could see the wrinkles and stretches of the giant palm he stood on and the branches of blue veins that stretched across the three pale fingers. They came out of a cloud of dust and shadows into an abstract reality where what Isa saw mirrored him, so that he was looking into himself again. If it was not for the constant landmark of the giant still Ancient looming over him, it felt as though one would get lost in oneself. Over and over in a loop that didn't end.
The void. Whatever it is. It wasn't something man's mind could comprehend.
Isa would feel a poke on his knee. And then he woke up. He was sitting cross-legged in the lotus position on grass in the same place he found himself in when he stepped through the portal. Except instead of the obelisk behind him it was a tree and more of the 'sun' was shining around them, and the jagged island was covered in grass, some bushes, and there were stone steps now, leading down to nowhere. There was even that same slanted ruined building in the distance, only it had flowers and a small grove of trees growing on top.
Loki's finger withdrew from Isa's knee. The Ancient was his size know, albeit tall, very tall. His neck was too long under the hood that showed only darkness and that wide grin that reached past the hollow eyes. His arms were folded strangely under his cloak, as though he had two elbows, like the curling of a spider's leg. The pale hands that were clasped together though looked human, except for the part that they had only three long fingers. No feet protruded from the long robe, though he walked and sat across Isa on the grass as though he had legs.
"Good morning, child. Drink. It's been seventeen days."
He nodded at Isa's side. There was a cup there that looked familiar. One of the cups he had as a child back in his home. There was what looked like simple water inside.
