This is sheer lunacy, Trueth thought.
Iseret had joined her and Seisi at the broken pedestal. Metjen was approaching slowly, he kept looking backwards, where Gebu and Khafa dragged Nebmutef towards the other Servants and the provisions.
Metjen still was not coming—no, he moved and there he was.
Iseret grabbed Seisi's hand, he took Trueth's, and she regarded him uneasily. I don't want to do this!
An electric jolt shot through her body and Iseret glared at her from across the pedestal. Trueth's hand grabbed Metjen's, Iseret snatched Metjen's other hand, and the circle was closed.
Metjen! Tears burning in her throat, Trueth noticed a breeze, a wind—a howling gale blowing through the chamber, blasting away those things that should never have been. The gust caused dresses and kilts to flap wildly as people held on to each other. A brackish smell of emptiness and long-dead flowers rose as dust, sadness and loss got carried on the storm that still gathered in power. With a flash, the light went out completely, followed by a rumbling thunder.
Only the glow from behind them remained and grew, pulsated and got lighter in colour—from deep purple to violet, to dark blue, sea blue, crystal—and the portal exploded with light.
