"Thou hast thought about it, but hast thou truly concentrated?" The slightest of smirks flickered upon his face as he quirked his head to the side. "With thine innate abilities, focus upon the Rune. Think upon the name, the way it sounds, the way it resonates, not just the meaning. Unlock the secret within. The Rune is a tool, a door to realization and power."
As soon as Billy was able to do as instructed, the entire world suddenly BURST into light in such a way that it was both blinding and startling. When Billy's eyes adjusted, he could see that the light was coming not only from the Rune, whose marking glowed with a green, scintillating color, but from tight threads of pale golden light that criss-crossed all around, filling the earth and sky, some glowing strong while others much paler. Many of these threads seemed to have their origin in Billy, himself, reaching out in all directions, while many more emanated from Loki. One particularly thick strand flowed from Loki's chest to Billy's.
Glancing around, for Loki could also see these threads, he told his disciple, "This is how one perceives how we are all connected, to all things, to all people."
