Sprite and Kingo had barely made it back to the airport before suddenly Kingo was encapsulated in gold and sucked up into the sky, presumably to face Arishem after what the Eternals had done in cancelling the Emergence. Sprite knew there would likely be consequences, but she didn’t realize they’d come that quickly. It was overwhelming, and terrifying that she was left behind, alone on Earth in the aftermath. Thankfully she managed to get herself back to London to reconnect with Dane, who was also distraught and confused.
She hadn’t been alone anymore, but concerned was an understatement for how she felt about where her fellow Eternals could possibly be. Had Arishem killed them for what they’d done? Were they alright? There was no way to know, but Sprite knew one thing. She needed to get in contact with Makkari, Druig, and Thena up in the Domo. Working together was the only way they’d be able to find the rest.
By the time she reconnected with Makkari, Sprite tried her best to process the signing and nodded along, signing her own response back as she said it out loud. “Yes. He was in a cab with me on the way to the airport when it happened. There was a bunch of gold and suddenly he was gone.” She frowned, shaking her head as she pondered Makkari’s theory. It didn’t make sense that they were all taken, mainly Makkari, Thena, and Druig. Sprite figured that if she was human Arishem didn’t have much of a bone to pick with her anymore. I’m okay. Are you guys all okay? Have you guys come up with any ideas on how?
makkari zipped around the room, picking up objects at random and looking at them. she tossed aside a shoe before returning to sprite’s side. they had returned to ajak’s ranch as it seemed like the safest place to be. it felt like a part of her was still there; golden energy keeping the place a warm shelter. as sprite recounted what had happened to kingo, makkari nodded solemnly.
that’s what dane said about sersi. golden light. gone. just like that. makkari was glad that karun had gotten sprite back to safety. it had to have been traumatic to see one of their own abducted out of nowhere, especially after everything that had happened.
we are fine. eros seems to have a good idea. have you met him yet?
