10 The Ancient One. (1/2)

I am nervous, I am about to meet one of the most powerful beings in the MCU, I feel like my heart is beating out of my chest oh wait, it is, goddamn cartoon physics doing weird shit, its bad enough that when I relax I melt a little but now I have literal butterflies in my stomach and it is not pleasant.

I walked up to the door 'breathe in... breath out, come on Jeremy you can do this!.' as I was about to knock the door opened to an old man wearing robes.

”she has been waiting for you, come on in” he said in perfect English.

my heart almost came out of my throat I was so surprised. ”ok, umm l-lead the way...” I stuttered out, Having realized that the Ancient one might see me, an otherworlder, as a threat and decide that I don't belong in this universe!

”she is in here,” said the old man while opening the door to the room in which Dr. Strange first met the Ancient one.

”ah! you have finally arrived, you must have waited a bit too long at the door, leave us please”

she turned to me and waited, 'oh! I guess she wants me to introduce my self, even though she probably has known who I was since I was born in this world.'

”umm, hello honored Ancient one, this one's name is Jeremy Marton I have journeyed to this place so that I may be Instructed in the mystic arts, if this one may be so bold as to ask for your tutelage.”

”hahahahaha! no need to be so formal young Jeremy, and yes I have known about you since the day you came into this world, and I have to say, you have done quite a lot even if you had a lot of help along the way.” the Ancient One said with a kind look. ”and call me Aine, it is not my birth name but it is better than being called Ancient one by the creator of this universe made the universe for.”

her words stunned me, what did she mean the creator of this universe made it for me? wait does that mean that when I asked Thanatos to be reborn in the MCU he created an entire universe just for me to be born into it!? I never thought about that, it sort of makes sense that a new universe was created once I was added to the timeline.

”ah! I see you have realized what I meant, now come sit and have tea with me.”

I sat down where the cushions and table were, there wes a teapot and two cups already poured. she handed me my cup and I took a sip of it, I could feel my self relaxing and it took some concentration to not melt into the cushion 'oh god, melting right now would be embarrassing!'
