Having someone knocking at the door was unexpected.
Did his spell fail? He checked and mentally slapped himself. When he landed, a part of the land he enchanted detached itself from his home and shattered the spell. How he did not feel it? He could only fault his inattention in the matter.
As he was debating on how to rectify the problem, the person outside knocked again.
He sighed and sent a small wave of magic to make sure no one else was here. He had a second response from the spell. A few meters in the wood, someone was observing his home.
Since he could not sense mana from him/her, he guessed it was a lone Midgardian curious about his house.
He went to his door and opened, fully prepared to fight if it come to it. He knew from his "wave" that the person outside was magically stronger than him, he just hopped it would be a peaceful encounter. He had the millennia of experience but one spell from this person touching him would be disastrous.
Opening the door, he could only be surprised by who met him. A breath taking beautiful woman dressed in a green revealing gown leaving a wide cleavage that showed her pale skin, it made her beauty otherworldly. She had an hourglass body, curved had to make it irresistible to any man posing his eyes on her. Her hips and bust, perfect in his mind to give birth, appealed to his Asgardian sense. Her dark hair were like a stars deprived night sky, her lips, as dark as her hair, were lifted in a small smirk as her green eyes stared at him, unblinkingly. While she had skulls as a belt and jewelry, her ethereal beauty took all the attention leaving no time for the details.
Had he be a simple man he would have fallen to his knee and declared his undying love to her, but he was Loki, and he did not bend the knee. The woman was observing him, as if deciding something.
"From now on, you are mine!"
Her imperious voice had she declared it made him want to spit his drink… If he had a drink. He really did not expect it.

It had been a few weeks since she felt the ripple of energy on earth. At first she did not want to investigate it, she felt no need for it. Days passed and her curiosity finally got the better of her.
She waved an observation spell and sent it to this mysterious magic user, expecting it to come back a few weeks later. To her delight and surprise, her probe came back much earlier than expected. Whoever sent it back should be a powerful sorcerer as it took a lot of mastery to notice this kind of spell and a lot more to counter it.
She looked at her harem and mental sighed. While carnal pleasure was fun, she had wished for a more "stable" source of pleasure, she wanted an equal, or at least someone that could give her a sweat. Her immortality was a blessing and a curse. For two millennia, she had lived without consort and she found it depressing. She dared not to look outside of earth as entity like the stranger or the judge could detect her and she did not want them to take interest in her.
She had a tried to start something with Dr Doom, or god emperor as he called himself in her original universe seeing that he was somewhat immortal but he wanted to be her better not her equal so she left. As simple as that.
She did know there were a few powerful sorcerer on earth but most of them were mortal and she did not want to mourn, not again.
Putting on her dress, she materialized in front of a house. While it looked normal, she could feel the power coming from it. Whoever lived here had a lot of knowledge in the enchantment art. She knocked at the door expecting the person inside to open immediately. Instead, she felt a wave of magic touch here and spreading in the immediate area.
She smiled at the stranger first action and knocked again. She settled on a small smirk as the door finally opened.
She expected a lot of thing, but a young man dressed casually was not one of them. He looked almost impassible in front of her. She tried to send a few charm spell at him discreetly but they bounced away.
Then, she finally recognized him. His black hair, green eyes and regal appearance. He was Loki. When she was young, merlin spoke of him: the lie smith, the prince of deceit, the shapeshifter, the prince of chaos, the silver tongue but more importantly: his master and friend.
He was the one that taught merlin the way of magic and made it possible for her to learn her art. Loki was a legend in the realm of magic, while not the strongest; he had a complete mastery of his spell and could not be easily bested. A lot of magic user saw him as the patron of magic. Odin had the knowledge but he was more of a warrior than a sorcerer.
She knew her power was greater but he was more adept of spell and a battle between them would be long and fastidious. If he wanted to fight that is, the story merlin sometime told made him to be a cautious man that would avoid what he deemed useless.
She studied him and finally decided.
"From now on, you are mine!"

Of all thing that could happen when two strong magic user met, she never expected this. Reaching silently her phone she called the only one that could, maybe, come and diffuse the situation befor it escalated.
"Strange, it's maria. I need you here ASAP."
"I know you are in vacation but I have an unknown and your 'acquaintance' about to fight."
"No, I'm not sure they will fight but I need you here now."
"Thank you."
She put down her phone and frowned, hopping it would not go down to a fight.
