"Another trickster?" Clicked Tick-tock "there are many but how do you know?"Walfrus pulls out a long steel bolt and places it in his mouth and idly rolls it back and forth his lips "Has to be. The mask is powerful but only Loki can use it even halfway to potential."
He paces lightly, his chains jingling with each step. "Every Trickster taps into their own power, just as Natures tap into...well. nature. So there must someone out there teaching the thief or at least assisting.""Why, sir?" Tick-tock replies
"Because Loki is bound still. Another Trickster has to be assisting with the mask, putting their own spin on it for the thief.""Sir. Are we sure Loki is still bound?"A clang rings across the meadow "Cogs and sparks! You've got a point there!"Tick-tock mock bows.
Walfrus paces more frantically "How can I find out. Odin knows where he is bound but he is hard to find and a trickster in his own right."Walfrus stops and smiles. "Tick-tock, open a portal to the Rainbow Crossroads."Tick-tock flies a circle and sparks form into a circle.
Through the circle a series of trees, tall mountains and a few rainbows can be seen."Yes, I didn't think they would be able to reroute us from there." Walfrus stepped through quickly joined by Tick-tock who alights on his shoulder."Who are we going to see, sir?"
Walfrus scans the area briefly and then smiles. "Someone who sees everything. I just hope they are in a talkative mood."Walfrus points to a rock outcropping where a woman hiker sits, seemingly enjoying the view."We are going to speak to Heimdall."
