Hey everyone! I got some great input from another FanFiction writer about making my story an OC *own character story* so feel free to imagine your character the way you want in my story. I'm not the best writer I'll tell you that now but I love to let my imagination go wild. This chapter might seem boring to some but now that I got the major stuff out of the way I can get onto to to cool stuff like meeting Stephan Strange. So stick around for in chapter 3 Stephan Strange will appear. Please also PM me with any thoughts, concerns or anything about my stories please. Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.
Chapter 2: A new friend gained, and old friend returned
After the stressful Master Healer test you took, Master Chi had you come back to the temple. It was there he led you to a room in the library you never really went into. The room had 3 doors with big symbols on them and there was a big globe floating in the air above a stone table with an eye. "What is that" you asked pointing to the eye. "That is the Eye of Agamotto. One of our most valuable pieces we have at the temple. It is not to be touched unless given permission." Master Chi said with a strict tone.
"I can see you are a bit confuse as to exactly what this room is. This is where we hold the gate ways to the different sectors we guard. I have told you before that Kamar-Taj is not the only place that we reside." Master Chi said looking at you while you were taking the room in. " We have 3 main sectors we guard, one in New York, London and Hong Knog." He said spinning a dial on the stone table with The Eye of Agamotto making the globe above you glow showing the sectors.
" All locations are protected by one of us in case any harm is to come. These doors will take us to the Santorum sanctums, as we call them." He said turning the dial once more. Master Chi turned it to the New York sector allowing the door to open. "After you." he said waving his arm in the direction towards the door. You approached the door and walked through wondering what was on the other side. It was yet another building.
It looked like an old Victorian Mansion. All wooded walls with old paintings and artifacts everywhere. " This way." Master Chi said now walking in front of you as a guide. He took you up a set of stairs to an upper level of what looked like a museum. " Is this a museum?" You asked looking around the room. There were books in glass casings, weapons, old scrips, jars relics, and what probably stood out most was a floating cloak. " In a way yes." he said. "Each of our sectors holds ancient artifacts, and also different portals to other places we can travel." Master Chi said.
You walked over to the cloak taking in its beauty. It was swaying back and forth within the display case as if it was excited to finally have company. It was a bright red with an amazing sewed patterned throughout it. You reached your hand up to put it on the glass but the cloak moved towards the back of the case. Master Chi snickered a bit. "Don't be affended if it backs away. It used to belong to a great sorcer before he died. It longs to find its new master. Many have tried to get its approval but still it waits. One day that sorcerer will come along." Master Chi said.
"It's beautiful. Longer then this little one I made." You said looking over your shoulder at this little cape like thing you made for your outfit. It just went a little past your shoulder blades. You used a pin to hold it in place. More or less it was for style.
"Come this way." Master Chi said moving towards a case further into the room. There was another cloak in another case. It was another red cloak, almost blood red and just a bit smaller then the cloke of levitation.
It had more of a femonin flare to it. " What famous girl sorcer wore this?" You asked looking at the cloak. It was hovering just like the other one but was more lively. " A great Sorcer named Glenn Harris. He was the proud owner of Zel." Master Chi said grabbing a pair of keys from his pocket. "Zel" you said in a questioning tone. "Yes, Zel. That is the name of this cloak. " Is it a girl cape? Not sure if they actually have genders." You said probably making yourself sound stupid. "Of course they do. Glenn had Zel made especially for him. They were like partners. She protected him through countless battles. The only time she wasn't there to save him was the time he didn't take her to battle with him. It was the day Kamar-Taj was attacked and... my daughter was killed." Master Chi said with sorrow in his voice.
You placed you hand on his shoulder. "I am truly sorry." you said looking up at your master. He gave a little smirk and shook his head. "Let me not ruin your day. Today you are a master, and every great master needs a special cloak." Master Chi said and opened the case that held Zel. You both backed away giving her room to come out and float around a bit. The cloak was so happy to be free of its imprisionment. It circled the room a bit and then held its attention towards you. Zel then floated in front of you as if studying you.
You slowly reached your hand out to touch her fabric, but as soon as you held your hand out Zel wrapped around you like a snake. She was wrapping around your entire body tugging at your cloths. "Hey stop that" you yelled while trying to back up. Zel continued wrapping around you in circles no matter where you moved and continued tugging. You then felt a rip at your clothes and herd a pin fall on the ground with a piece of clothing. It was your little cape you made and the pin that held it. Zel then finally clung to your shoulders and stood still.
"We'll look at that, Zel finally found someone worthy of having her." Master Chi said all happy. " I guess so but a little ruff with the welcoming" you said looking at Zel. She just sat on your shoulders motionless. "Guess I won't be needing my other cape anymore." You said bending down to pick it up. As soon as you touched it Zel slapped your hands with the corner of the cloak. "Hey now stop that." You said and tried to pick it up again but got slapped again by Zel. Master Chi just stood their laughing. " She doesn't like that little cape you made!" he said. "I'll take it back with us since Zel does not approve of it."
"What exactly can Zel do other than slap people?" You said rubbing your hand which now had a red mark on it. Zel can slap pretty hard! " Zel is capable of blocking attacks, she cam make you fly and in certain situations she can even make you invisible." Master Chi said. "Really that's so cool!" you said excited.
"It is indeed. You both will have to get aquatinted with one another more." Master Chi said. You shook you head to agree with what he said. "You seem tired. You had such a long day today. Let's get back home. Now that you are a Master I guess I'll have to sart calling you Master _" He said smiling at you.
"You don't have to call me master. Might get a nut confusing after awhile since we are both masters." You said laughing a bit. "Yes it might but I think we'll get used to it." He said and led the way back to Kamar-Taj's portal. "You can travel to any of the 3 sectors you like. They are all guarded so don't try anything stupid" Master Chi joked. You laughed a bit. "I would never Master." "Go rest now." Master chi said. At this point you were tired from everything you did throughout the day. It was about noon time now and you were totally fine with going to bed. All that late night studying was starting to get to you. You really enjoyed reading and teaching yourself new techniques though so sacrificing a little sleep was worth it in your mind.
While on your way back to your room, you were congratulated by many of the teachers, and students. It felt really good gaining a new title. It also means now you have more of a responsibility around Kamar-Taj. When you entered your room, the only thing on your mind was sleep. Zel could tell you were tired and got off your shoulders retreating to the corner of your room near your bed. "At least she can sense some of what I'm feeling." you thought. Without any further hesitation you plopped into your bed and dozed off into a slumber.
You were awoken by a startling crash noise that echoed throughout the temple. Looking towards your window you saw it was pitch black out. " Man I slept longer then I thought I would." you thought and got out of bed. Another crash was heard. "What is that noise?" Zel emerged from the corner and grabbed onto your shoulders before you reached your rooms door. Yet another crash sound was heard but along with it was a yell. "That's coming from the library." you said and started running towards it. You room was pretty close to the library. As you got closer to the library your heard blades hitting on another and people yelling.
"You will never win." a mans voice shouted. "Even if I fail, I'll fail knowing my death wasn't without a purpose." another man's voice was heard. More blades were heard. You were now just around the corner leading to the library. The blades clashing with one another and the noises of people fighting grew closer and closer. It was when you entered the doors you saw a group of people surrounding Master Chi and what looked like Kaecilius. " That can't be Kaecilius. " You thought. It was indeed him.
Kaecilius was one of the top students at Kamar-Taj. You had the privilege of having him teach you a few fighting techniques when he was still here. Weeks ago he left unexpected. You only heard rumors of him leaving Kama-Taj to join Dormammu. Right now it looks like the rumors were true.
"You are such a fool Master Chi, and to think I was going to let you teach me." Kaecilius said while still fighting. "You could have learned so much more here Kaecilius , but your thirst for power has blinded you." master Chi said. " Your the Master healer right? Let's see you heal yourself from this wound." Kaecilius said and used some spell on Master Chi making him fly backwards. It left a huge burn mark on his chest. Kaecilius then ran up to him and Stabbed him with his two blades hitting both of his lungs.
"NOOOOO" you shouted. Kaecilius and his followers looked at you. "_ you can try to stop me but I worn you, you'll only end up like Master Chi here." he said while twisting his blades inside Master Chi and throwing his body on the ground. Blood was begging to form everywhere on the floor around him. As you were about to run down and fight you felt a hand block you. It was the Ancient one. She stopped you from any movement. " Kaecilius that ritual will only bring you sorrow." She said looking at him. She was wearing her yellow robe with the hood up.
Kaecilius just smirked and began to run towards his portal he made with his followers. "Elizabeth tend to Master Chi." The Ancient one said and ran after Kaecilius . You wanted to go with her so badly but did as you were told. Kneeling down right beside Master Chi, you started to use your healing magic but his breaths were so faint. It didn't matter if you were in the pool of blood that formed around him either. The only thing you were worried about was saving his life. Zel didn't want to touch the blood so she hovered on your back a bit. You might still have a chance to save him.
'No, don't bother to save me...It's too late." Master Chi managed to say coughing up blood. "But master I can still save you." you argued with tears now forming in your eyes. He just lie there and shook his head. "Remember... what I told you about healing the dead or the ones too far along to be saved ... My.. t-time has come _." He said reaching his hand up to touch your face. Tears were now rolling down your face. You grabbed his hand not wanting to let go. " Protect ...Kamar-Taj." Master Chi said now in a whisper. There was no movement from him now. You felt your heart drop in your chest.
A portal was now formed behind you. The ancient one had returned but not with the stolen papers. "Kaecilius is planning to use that ritual. We must prepare ourselves." She said walking over to you. "Ancient one!" a voice yelled from within the library. It was Mordo.
"I came as fast as I could." He said now beside her. "Yes I thank you for that." she said looking at the full affect of what Kaecilius did. Not only did he kill Master Chi but he also killed the book keeper of the library by be-heading him. "What happened." Mordo asked looking around as well. "Kaecilius has returned. He stole paged from Book of Cagliostro." The Acient one said. " We must go after him without further hesitation." Mordo said. "No it's already too late. I went after Kaecilius but he escaped. Only a few of his followers fell." She said.
You then felt hands on your shoulders. "_, I know the pain you are feeling now. It would be best if you weren't around the library for now." The Ancient one said now helping you to your feet. Other teachers now entered the room looking at the mess too. " Go back to your room _, get cleaned up." she said guiding you a little to the door. You were in such a state of shock everything going around you now was a blur. You heard people talking which just sounded like mumbling and saw people running with stretchers and sheets to cover the dead.
You don't recall what happened next , only that you were now in the Court yard. It was a beautiful Summer's night with the moon now high in the sky shinning down on you. It glimmered on the blood on your hands. Tears were rolling down your face even more now. You've just lost the one thing that gave you hope in your life. The one person that saved you from killing yourself 2 years ago. Now the darkness has come back again.
