Witch Moth (leaping into the air and hovering above their heads): Oh, yay! Just give me a minute! (It opens a small portal with visible strain and flies through.)
(There is a long while of silence. The bug-Cookie doesn't reappear for a good ten minutes.)
(Then- all of a sudden- a much larger blue portal cracks its way into the sky, sending a blast of air and magic at the waiting Cookies, and a blur of blue and white flings itself through the portal, landing at an angle on the ground and bounce-rolling to a stop a while away from the still-open portal. A tall, dark-robed Cookie follows, wings half-spread in caution, and Witch Moth strolls through after, looking pleased.)
Recluse: ...Sage. Are you okay?
Sage (popping up from the ground): I'm fine! Ooooh, this place is pretty.
~🌌🫐🍦 (three emojis now...)
Shining Milk finally gets up from his spot of relaxation and walks over to the two new cookies. He has the same wide grin that Sage has, no doubt they're counterparts.
Why hello there! Witch Moth told me all about you two!
Mirage Vanilla had disappeared from his spot beside the ancient earlier, and had somehow manifested right behind Recluse. Either he was extremely quiet, or something was off about the similar looking cookie.
And I assume you are the Sage of Truth and the Truthless Recluse? Welcome to the Castle of Faith, my friends~!
There's a gentleness in his voice unmatched by most, a sense of safety just by presence alone. But the constant hum of strange magic in the air felt somewhat off...
