Chapter 43: ANCIENT ONE
Perseus POV -
I found Anna just after sometime on the way to her Mother's room. Well calling them room is little inappropriate. They are big bigger then some mansions on my old life. When I found her I asked,'' Are you ready to go back?''
She said, '' Yes. I am done here.''
I asked," How is your mother? We left only after sometime of your Father's death. She was just grieving at that time. Is she alright now?''
She said, '' She is getting better. Well I told her about our country and some future plans. She is happy for us. I was just going to meet Lord Odin and Lady Frigga.''
I said,'' So I will go and meet your mother. ''
Then we both parted ways to meet our future in- law's. My meeting with Skadi was not much different from my own mother. Some small talks, some blessings and asking me to take care of her daughters. I promised to do my best.
After some talk I left. I waited for Anna at the same place. After she came I told her my plans to go and meet Sorccerrer Supreme. She also wanted to came.
She said,'' Percy you have the magical energy of Vaishanti but not the knowledge to use it. I just want to copy all the knowledge in my own library.''
I understood what she said and found it right. Without the Knowledge that energy is almost useless. So we together went to Bifrost.
I told Heimdal,'' Open the Bifrost to earth. Near the place where Sorccerrer Supreme lives.''
He did as I asked. Then I told him,'' Remember Keep an eye on Thor and Don't share his whereabouts with anyone. And take care of my home.''
He nodded his head then Anna and I went through the bridge to the place where she lives. It is almost a barren land. I think we are in the future Nepal. We can see some shops and temples in the distance but since we are here in the early morning most of them are closed.
I said,'' Should we go direct inside the place?''
Anna said,'' No. Not to mention if we can cross the safety of the place. But going there directly inside someone's home without any invitation or informing is highly insulting. It is not a behaviour that is expected of a King.''
I was just trying to make our way simple but instead I have to hear the lecture. Arguing with ther is not an option because it is almost impossible to defeat her with words trust me I have tried. So I just agreed and started walking.
It took us more then ten minutes to get there. While walking I put my hand on her ass. I started massaging her ass. She shot me a glare but did not move to stop me. While teasing and playing we got to the place.
We knocked on the door. When it opened we saw Ancient One herself standing there. I think because she was not in contract with Dormamu for a long time that's why she is not bald. She has black hair that were tied in bun and black eyes. She looked just like the movies but younger.
She said, '' Welcome King Perseus and Queen Anna.''
We went inside. We followed her for a minute then we entered in a courtyard. The place was empty with no one there. Just some tables and chairs. She went towards the biggest table and gestured towards the chairs and said,'' Please sit.''
We sat down and she also took her place. She made tea for everyone and presented to us. I took a sip. I was never a great fan of tea ( being ADHD and all that) but even I have to admit this is truly good.
After that I said,'' Thank you for having us Lady Yao.''
She smiled and said,'' It's alright. We are happy to have you. Although I maybe aware of the reason of your coming but It will be good to talk amd understand it.''
I said,'' Well we are here for two things. First we want to know if you will allow us to copy the books that you have in your library. ''
Ancient One was silent for a while, we waited for her answer. Her permission is necessary for this then she spoke,'' Except some really dangerous knowledge all the knowledge is available to every member of Kamar- Taj. But I also have some question.''
I gestured towards the gem hanging on her neck and said,'' Don't you know the answers of every question. ''
She smiled and said,'' I am not Omniscient. I do know many things maybe more than anyone on this entire planet, but even I can't claim to know everything.
But yes I do know your answer but still I would like to hear it from you.''
I said,'' Then please ask your question.''
She asked,'' Since my disciple and students, master and all other members have been bonded with your Symbiote they never really have to borrow the power from Vaishanti. Not even for some medium size spells. You said that they can only do some normal spells not big spells so I want to know how it is possible?''
I thought for a while how to answer this question. While I do trust her, I am not really comfortable sharing the information about my Dimension with someone outside my family. After some thought I said,
'' My Symbiote can copy the powers and abilities of the person they are attached to. When they attached to you and your disciple they copied the power of Vaishanti. And as you may know that those Symbiote are connected to me and channel my power so all this time those peoples are calling forth my own power from that connection. ''
Ancient one said,''I can still see you are hiding something. Well you will tell me soon anyway so I am not in hurry. What I do want to ask- Did you gave me your Symbiote to copy these powers?''
I said without missing a heartbeat, '' If I just wanted that power I should have just kidnapped and forcefully attached my Symbiote to any magician or better a rouge magician. Then I will have the power and no one will know it. Trust me I genuinely wanted to help you. You protect this planet and it's inhabitants. I just wanted to lessen the burden.''
She did not have any change in her serene impression. No doubt she was alrredy aware of my answers then she said,''I believe you.''
Then After taking a sip of her tea she said -
