Aya landed harshly on the ground, she groaned in pain as she was laying on her back holding her side. She was in an incredible amount of pain.. but she more the air around her was blowing softly.. she heard the breeze going through the leaves.
She opened her eyes.
Aya saw the faint blue glow and knew that Familiar glow.. She knew it was time for her to return.
To return to the Lake.
Aya got up and made her way towards the glowing blue lake.. How it glowed a pale blue. Aya kneeled down in front of the water and with her hands she made a small cup and drank some of the water.
Aya laid down again and she watched the stars starting to move.. How she was getting more tired and tired until she closed her eyes and drifted off.
Aya opened her eyes and there was silver mist around her, it seemed foggy but not as much. She looked around her when she sensed figures around her and it wasn't until the first figure appeared in front of her, with warm hazel eyes
"I haven't seen you here in centuries" The figure, a female with long brown hair and bright hazel eyes. Aya looked down and nodded she sighed and shook her head
"I haven't had a chance to visit with protecting the stones and all that.. you know" Aya said and the woman nodded with a small smile
"The responsibility is always hard.. but we make the friends and have the adventure of a lifetime." The woman said and suddenly a small pond appeared in front of them and both women looked through the water
"She's great isn't she?" The women said softly and Aya snorted in amusement and shook her head "Of course she is.. She's you"
"Anthea is the most powerful incarnations in my many lives.. I guess it was time for one of my lives to be powerful, with the danger that's coming with it"
"You're forgetting about others' incarnations thank you very much" Another voice said and Aya looked over and saw a male figure with black hair and blue eyes looking at them. The male nodded at Aya before making his way towards the pond and he looked down at the water and shook his head
"In all of my lives.. She was the one who suffered the most with the loss of a baby and then becoming a Supreme.. Her life being at stake just like that? And what can we do?" He asked, frustrated as he looked down at his current incarnation with her husband. Anthea's past self shook her head
"We've suffered greatly in each life.. You know that. We lived lives, fell in love and died, being reincarnated into another life and starting all over again " She muttered and Maria's past life shook his head
"I don't understand why you're not more worried for Anthea.. She's going through the worse pain of dealing with her fiancé.. The man that she loves so much forget about her" He muttered
"I dealt with the pain and loss of when my love died.. It will happen to Anthea one day too.. She'll be here watching as another incarnation of ours fall in love with someone else.. We don't win in the end, we never did"
Aya shook her head "The point of saving these stones and making sure the prophecy is fulfilled is that you won't ever have to be reborn ever again.. That Quill and Stephen are your incarnations last loves" She said and they heard more footsteps coming towards them and out came a woman with silver-blondish hair coming towards them with narrowed eyes at the woman with the brown hair
"You were always the cold one in our incarnations" The Blond mumbled and the Brown hair woman narrowed her eyes "I did what I had to do to survive.. For everyone" She said and The male with black hair narrowed his eyes
"You have no feelings for our current incarnations.. You don't feel their suffering like I do, they didn't ask to face that.. Thing."
"We didn't ask to keep being reborn but look at us now.. At this lake" Brown Hair Woman snapped and Aya stepped forward before a fight broke out
"Anthea and Maria had many incarnations.. Many names.. Many lifetimes.. Ever since their first life, they were meant to protect these stones ever since the.." Aya said looking around now as many of the past incarnations started to appear now, men.. women.. children.
"This is their biggest challenge and yet.. We're missing the third member" The Blond Hair Incarnation of Anthea spoke and Aya nodded in agreement "I know.. I know we are and it's the biggest reason why this battle won't have a victory today"
"If they were just ready.." A voice said
"If they came we would have won this!" Another voice said
"Anthea would have taken him out!"
"NO! Maria would have!"
Aya looked over as the many faces of Maria and Anthea were yelling at each other.. She knew that she had to shut them up and find a way to speak.. She was ready to blast a beam of energy but suddenly the past lives became quiet as a figure stepped forward and towards Aya.
Aya bowed her head in respect as the figure came towards her. Aya looked up to see a woman with dark brown hair and warm brown eyes looking at her. The woman smiled softly before nodding
"Aya.. It's been a while since you've last been here" the woman said and Aya nodded and bowed her head in respect "It's been a while too.. Lyanna"
Lyanna, the first Sorceress Supreme, stepped towards Aya and grabbed her hands "Then you know what is going to happen" The Sorceress Supreme spoke and Aya was silent at first before nodding
"I tried doing it for as long as I can.. But if Thanos gets that stone, there will be no more lying"
"Have you made your peace with Thor?" Lyanna questioned softly and Aya was silent before nodding "That was the only thing I wanted.. The fact that I can die thinking.."
"That you were loved by him.. That you made friends and gained a new family"
"Yeah.." Aya whispered
Lyanna stepped forward towards the pond and looked at the water fondly "When Agamotto and I created that eye.. When I was named the first Supreme.. I thought everything was going to be bright.. Until I ended up pregnant" Lyanna whispered and the figures around her looked in sadness. Lyanna went on
"Here I was protecting my babies from any harm.. Agamotto and I. But in the end I still lost" Lyanna mumbled and she looked at Aya
"I died giving birth.. I had three babies. Two had died when they came out of the womb but not one.. One went on" She whispered and Aya nodded in understanding and Lyanna choked back sobs as she shook her head
"Agamotto in grieve.. raised my spirit and placed it here in this lake.. But he knew, our kids had another meaning.. So he raised their souls and let them free.. Having into many incarnations and many lives.. They may not be siblings by blood anymore but they will always have love for each other" Lyanna spoke as she looked at the many incarnations.. Including the firsts.
"But our baby.. The one that survived.. She went on and became the supreme after her father and when she died.. She too had many incarnations, including the current one" Lyanna looked into the pond of the current incarnation and she smiled fondly
"This incarnation being a direct descendant of me.. The one that will be able to defeat the evil that is coming ahead. The one that wouldn't be afraid to make the hard choices because.. They have the biggest heart"
Aya nodded as she looked around and started seeing the Third Member's past incarnations stepping forward. Lyanna looking at the water before looking at Aya
"What is about to happen is going to change all of us forever.. We have to make sure the Three are ready for this battle, and we thank you for everything.." Lyanna said and Aya nodded
"It was my duty"
Thanos snapped out of her thoughts and he looked at her with wide eyes before shaking his head in disbelief "You were protecting the third one all this time.. Making sure they would be ready"
Aya looked at Thanos as she couldn't speak and Thanos tighten his grip on her neck "You protected the third member this whole time so they could grow and become more powerful.. Didn't you!?"
"I did it to protect them.. I made a promise" She said with a hoarse voice and Thanos shook his head "So you let everyone in the universe think you were the third member to protect them.. To make sure they werent' killed"
"It was the only way.." She whispered and Thanos was silent for a moment before he activated the Soul Stone and started crushing her neck..
"Your mission failed.. You couldn't protect those stones and once I get all three of them.. They'll wish they were protected by you"
"No.. They won't.." Aya choked as she started struggling "Because.. I know they will be stronger than me.. They'll be stronger than you when they're finally together.. You'll lose" She whispered and Thanos grinned
"Not on my watch.. Today.. They all lose" Thanos said as suddenly the Soul Stone overtook Aya.. Her eyes glowing orange for a moment as she struggled before soon.. Her eyes became lifeless and her body became limp.. Thanos added it when he snapped her neck.
Connie and Steve watched in horror what happened. They saw Thanos throwing Aya's limp body on the floor as he looked on in victory, it wasn't until a huge bolt of lighting got him in the chest and he was pushed back.
Aya's Fiancé Thor had saw everything and heard everything in disbelief before screaming "No!" and throwing that bolt.. His heart completely broken at what just happened..
He lost Aya again.
He raised Stormbreaker above his head and hurls it - Thanos fires the whole might of the gauntlet against it, but it only creates a rainbow-like beam, not slowing the axe as it slams right into Thanos' chest.
Thor landed in front of Thanos who was down on a knee and he looked over at Aya's body.. Tears forming in his eyes as he wanted to scream.. To bash Thanos' head but he got him in the chest.. "I told you. You'd die for that" Thor said coldly as he looked from Thanos to Aya's body
He took a hold of the back of Thanos's head and forces Stormbreaker deeper into his chest, staring angrily into his eyes while Thanos cries out in pain.. The man who killed the woman he loves
"You should have... You..." Thanos said weakly before looking at Thor suddenly stronger as he couldn't help but smile "You should have gone for the head"
All that was heard was a scream of "NO!" from Thor and..
Snap
Author's Note:
That was intense.
We find out that Maria and Anthea come from a long line of Incarnations that lived and served to protect the stone from dangers, with the Third Member as well.
Here are any answers to some questions that you may have:
Maria, Anthea and Third Member(Similar to The Doctor from Doctor Who) Have many incarnations (No, they're not like Time Lords) When a lives of theirs die, the soul leaves the body and into the body of a baby (Similar to the Avatar system)
Maria, Anthea and Third Member's past lives have included men and women. So its canon that Maria and Anthea have been males in their past lives. Their past lives include children as well because well.. They could have died in any moment.
Agamotto knew the only way for the world to be protected was for his children (living and dead) would be able to protect the universe hence splitting their souls.
The Ancient One has at least trained a couple of Maria and Anthea's past lives.. And Knew about Agamotto's plan.
The Ancient One trained Maria knowing full well about the past lives, Maria is the only one of the past lives to be the Supreme.
I know who the third member is but I aint's saying anything. Until when its ready of course.
We will know about these past lives and Lyanna's plan more and more.
Aya isn't part of the three. However, Odin knew about Lyanna's plan and when sending Aya away, he told her about Lyanna's plan.
Aya knew that she would die protecting the third member, she didn't complain or fight.. She accepted it.
