The fates were laughing. At first, they played with the timeline and crossed strings of fate to amuse themselves but in their manipulation, they managed to fusion some realities. Young harry potter should not be in a lovely environment, Tom should not be a carefree murderer and more importantly, Loki should be on a warpath.

All the change came from what question from Loki: Why? In his original timeline, he did not ask himself this question and it resulted in his dark future. In this timeline, he made a few capable friends, has a family and practice his sorcery freely, things he did not do in his original reality.

The situation pleased them to no end. Tanos was moving and even they could not directly touch his string of fate. He was not far from the realm of real of life and death. While the two entities did not seem to care, the fates knew death had plan in action to deal with him, her chosen was groomed by one of the most vicious and dangerous magic user after all.

The future was now dark but they could see a small light in the darkness, they could not do anything but watch as the darkness or the light disappeared.

The preparation were advancing nicely. The stone required to make his plan a reality was enormous but he knew it needed to be done. The relation they had with the government was strained and anything could start the hostility.

The town was getting bigger and the appearance of a magical street made things even more difficult. Xavier allowed the MACUSA to build it on his ground as long as they followed the same rules as the people already living here.

This new street was a plus to the people living here, the wizard and witch could provide services for a fee. The people living here marveled at the wizard. They knew magic existed and saw him do it but seeing others practice it as naturally as he did was amazing in their eyes.

As time passed, more and more wizard came to live in this new safe heaven. Practicing magic without fearing to be discovered was something they wanted for a long time and this new place gave them their wish.

Still, when this McGonagall came, he wondered how she missed this. Well, he could not really talk, until recently, he thought they were stray wizards and witch seeking safety from his wards. He did not understand how he missed this but put it on his work. Thinking about it, it would have been easier to send him to an American wizard school.

Anyway, the addition of this community to the already present mutants made them more "dangerous" to the president. He often called the professor to order him to take down the wards and allow the army on his land. It always ended in the president yelling and ending the call.

He sometime wished for things to be as simple as on Äsgard. He could have simply walked on the president, beat him in submission and taken his place as a leader. He could charm him and bend him to his will but he had no doubt they were prepared for this. After all, he knew mutant could have this power and so did they.

Harold and Wanda would soon leave for Hogwarts, he did not like the idea of his son and daughter so far from him and his wife but it was a part of Harold past he could not deny him this. Wanda was going with him and he knew they would have each other back. Sylvie had casted a few charm on them, mostly to make sure they were not in danger and also to keep her informed on their health. She liked the professor that visited but did not trust the other professors, as she did not meet them.

He heard a few stories of Britain and did not like it. Apparently, their government was corrupt and a part of their population still practiced blood purity. The information were quite old but the ward surrounding the English community were keeping him from using scrying spell.

Frigga insisted in being updated about her grandchildren when in their school by using a magical stone allowing them to send letters between realms. They quickly agreed when they saw her stern face. He conveniently had something to do when she tried to give him the same order.

She visited often. He knew she had few friends on Äsgard as she was the queen and she could not leave as she pleased. His presence gave her the excuse she needed if she was caught and the presence of witch and wizard allowed her to make a few acquaintance with which she spent time to talk.

He was sure those old women knew more about his young day than he liked. They respected her but did not put her on the same level as him. He was still considered as a god of magic and seeing how poorly they practiced it he could understand.

He knew they were able to be much better in spell weaving but they still used wands. Merlin used a staff but it was mostly because he had an injury that made him difficult to walk and his magic was too wild. The common wizards did not have this problem but they kept using tools to use magic.

He was surprised to learn their classification of magic. How they separated good and bad magic almost made him laugh. He guessed their simplistic view of magic was caused by their government wishing to keep a tight leash on them.

He insisted in lecturing the more adept in his way as it would add a layer of security for the town. A dozen of magical being able to caste a stunning curse could keep Asgardian warriors at bay. The ward surrounding the land would protect her but he preferred to take all the precaution before something happened.

Dr strange seemed to be a good man but he was an American citizen before being a sorcerer. He saw this when he learnt of his inaction concerning the magical society on earth. He was the sorcerer supreme and it was his duty to make them advance and keep their more… dark element down. On the other hand, he intervened if any "villain" took action in New York.

It was saddening to see such a powerful magical being act this way, preferring his non-magical origin to his new statute. He could understand as he did not really act on his role as magic patron but he was not a real god and his power was not enough to "rule" magik.

He had to find a way to push his power further, it had stagnated for millennia and the future was looking dark. He had to find a way to be stronger or his family would be in danger.

The time was coming. He found the gems and knew where two of them could be. The information had been hard to get but a few days of torture made the man spill everything.

Earth would be a challenge. He knew the Silvertongue was here and so were a lot of dangerous being. The world was also under Asgardian protection and an open war with them, even with the power of the mind stone, would be a failure as long as he did not have at least another gem.

The Realms were preparing themselves, he could feel it. The elves had their world shrouded behind their magik, the dwarves were fortifying their world and forges and the titan could not be reached.

Meanwhile he had kept his crusade and destroyed world after world to please the woman he courted; death. She did not show herself even after everything he did and he knew she was waiting for him to finish his work, there was no other reasons.

He just had to wait. In a decade or so, he would be at earth door and when he finally took the gems, he would be a step closer to his goal. Death would finally reward him and he could finally stop his work.

Looking at his army from his throne, he smiled. His daughters were searching for the remaining and he had no doubt they would soon find them. It was a simple question of time and he had all the time in the universe.
