The stone was now part of him. He tried to take it out but no matter what he did it would not come out. Strangely, he could make it disappear IN his body. He did not know if the stone really was fused within him or used his body as some kind of host.
It gave him a major boost of power, he would at least admit that, but there was no documentation on the stones and no ones knew how they worked. The pulse coming from the stone were still here but he felt them less and less. It would need to be studied and the studies kept safe. He did not know if it ever happened before but he did not want his experience to be lost with him if he died.
He also had to avoid a few powerhouse, as strong if not stronger than him. They were searching for him, that, he was sure. The stone could easily be used to hide him or erase them but he did not know how to use it or if it kept it's property when he left his reality. He thought it shouldn't but the power emanating from the stone made him doubt his judgement
Using a few hiding spell combining elven magic and seidr meditation he learnt before departing his home reality, he sent himself to a random city. From the look of it, he was in France and if the Eiffel tower was anything to go by, Paris.
It took him a few days to find a way to earn enough to live. He "made" gold and sold it to some shady people. Using the money from his deal, he made an account in a random bank and, a week later, built a library where he could work as a clerk.
He did not a lot of experience living with midgardian but the French people were welcoming enough. They did not ask a lot of question when he told them he lost his paper. He simply was asked to wait for the administration to make sure he was not someone researched. A month later he was officially Lokkemand adalhaid.
(lokkemand is the Danish name used for loki and Adalhaid is usually a name used for woman composed of adal = noble and haid = dignity)
Looking at the door of his store he found it funny how fast it went to get his French identity. Either they did not care or they were really accepting of stranger.
While he worked he made sure to barely use magic. He was sure his spell would not come down but did not want to risk it. Small use such as levitating book, warming his tea cup or cleaning the store would not be a problem but something bigger like hiding the store from plain view, he was not sure the lock on his magic could support it.
Reading thye news paper "Le canard enchainé", he smiled at the front page. Apparently, his "twin" as he called this reality Loki, did a lot of good thing here. Saving mutant, making his own "country" and playing joke around the world. He smiled at the picture of the joke his twin played around the world.
Days passed and while it was a nice change to be able to socialise he found something he would have preferred to avoid anything that could make him remarkable. F ate were still messing with him as he found out the magical street was only ten minutes away from his shop. He already met a few wizards and witches who visited his shop while they where waiting for their friends or families. It would not be a problem if only regular wizard visited.
A family in particular kept coming to his store, the Delacour. He remembered them from one of the harry potter book. What he did not know though was their standing in the wizard's world. They could have been an old family, auror even, it would not have been a problem but no,Mr Delacour has to be the freaking head of the French Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Young Miss Delacour kept starting at him when she thought he was not looking and while he knew about veela from the books, it was something else to be the "prey" of one. He knew they matured differently from humanity, like the nymph back on Asgard, but it was creepy. Her parents seemed amused by her obsession and did nothing to stop her. The allure could be fought against but the "hint" she dropped were a bit too much for him.
Luckily, they did not come too much, once or twice a week. Aside from them, his customers were common people witch, wizard and regular people.
His luck run out a few month later, two of the strong presence he felt when appearing on this planet visited his shop. The first , Dr Strange, came to look for his collection of magical book and did not seem to be interested in him. It reassured him to know his presence was still well hidden.
The second was more... friendly... yes, friendly was the word. She came after someone told her of a new library selling magical AND common book. Apparently few did like him, preferring to either sell magical books OR common books. Had he known, he would have done like them. Still, she was actually nice and she liked to talk with him.
She visited often and gave him a lot of news about his twin. Apparently, Loki married Angrboda, now Sylvi, and the two of them were great friend. He knew most of what his other did thank to his dreams but it was something else to hear it from someone he knew from his dream.
She liked to speak about harry and wanda mischief and would often have a longing look in her eyes when speaking of the little one.
This style of life was good for him, he liked the calm of the library and the few people he became friend with. Smiling he closed the shop and went upstairs to read more about french history.

She still had no idea of the whereabouts of this powerful entity. It disappeared rather rapidly and the scrying was useless without something to base it on.
On her research, she met a clerk that seemed familiar. He was reserved but after a few meeting opened up to her. She could feel power from him, not on her league or other strong sorcerer but it appealed to her.
She liked how calm it felt around him and he looked a lot like Loki. The only differences being his beard and the bulkier muscles. IT was strange but she did not think anything about it.
When she spoke with him, he always smiled and never stopped her. He patiently waited for her to finish. She did not know why she told him so much about everything but did it anyway.
She thought of adding him in her harem, he was nice enough to the eyes and she liked the way he spoke to her, it made her all bothered.
She would need to speak with Zatanna about this.
