Why is he here?

Thank you Jayrider and SuperGene for the Powerstones and thank all of you for your support!

She was a bit gobsmacked as she saw Loki coming up to her. Fate and the Ancient One noticied her reaction before Fiona exhaled, "My apologies sir, you just reminded me of a sworn brother I had stayed with for awhile. Though, I had thought her Ladyship would have come in person to hear about the deal." She chuckled nervously trying to cover up her shock.

The ancient One thought noticing this, 'He must be one of her comrades from her future. She never speaks about it and if she does she's vague...especially with her powers. It is understandable; she doesn't want a paradox or people know a lot about her abilities. however, she doesn't seem to care if I know about her spells as she told me about three spells(Dormina(sleep spell), Dia(low ranked healing spell) and Marin Karin(charm/brainwash status effect spell)). Probably because our source of magic is different and she believes that I can't do it.'

A young Loki looked at her, "It's fine, I wanted to go to midgard and I asked mother to be the messenger. Now, what is this deal you wanted to talk about?" He gave a smirk that showed his arrogance.

Fiona thought, 'Calm down, He isn't the Loki you know and pulled pranks with.' She asked when turning to the Ancient One, "Can we go to your office to discuss this? I would like to keep this private?"

She nodded and brought them inside her office. Fiona said when the door was closed, "Due to my job, I get a hold of certain materials that can be used in rituals, refining equipment and possibly alchemy. I would like to trade some extra materials with the Sanctuary and Asgard for either money, knowledge or supplies I might need."

She took out three items and put them on her desk. Loki saw what looked like an Asgardian jewelry box that she had received from Freya in her bag which, got his attention. She put what looked like a blue crystal shard. The second was a ball of silk yarn. The third item looked like a palm sized orb.

She said, "These are an example of what I can get. The Silk yarn can be used to make fire resistant items. The orb is called the Extinguish orb, it can heal burns for one person. The last is called the elec shard, it well, allows you to perform a weak electric attack. These two are single use items so, be mindful how you use them."

She had a feeling it was going to take them a while to study them and they were low level drops. It wasn't like she'd give them a Chakra drop, Soma or Revival bead; she wasn't stupid to sell or give away life saving items to anybody. especially when they are considered rare drops.

The Ancient One(an:I really have to look up her name) said as she picked up each item to study it, "I can accept the deal but, I think I heard you want a certain item Fiona."

Fiona said, "I do have an item in mind but, I don't know if the wise Magi can make it. I don't even know if the stalwart dwarves can make it. It's not a weapon I have plenty of those so don't worry...I want a spacial artifact, something like a tote bag or a ring...bracelet will work to; that can create a small spacial pocket that I can put my stuff in or take it out with a thought."

The two were thinking before Loki said, "I will have to ask mother and father about this. I only came to hear you out on her behalf."

Fiona said, "I understand, feel free to take the samples to her to study. It won't give any harm to Asgard and the worse thing the shard can do is give a small jolt...enough to wake a drunk Volstagg I suppose."

Loki looked at her when she left the office and multiple kids of the decsiples swarmed her. They said, "Auntie Fi, show us the pixie again! No, tell us a story. No, I want a song...Show us something cool."

She laughed, "I'm sorry kiddos, I am very tired from training and my meeting with an old troll and a powerful Illusionist. How about tomorrow, I let you meet a new friend and fly you on Anzu's back before I have to go beat some bad guys?"

The girl said, "What's your new friend look like? Is he ugly like Slime or pretty like Pixie?" The kids kept bugging her about it before she sat down on a large rock.

She said, "One question at a time um...let's see, No he isn't like slime. He's not cute as Pixie but, he's as playful as her. You see, my friend is known as a messenger of the Japanese gods. He's about the size of a teenager and he has wings like a small crow or black bird. He's called Koppa Tengu."

One of the youngest asked, "Why do you call those forms your friends?"

She was surprised and thought how to phrase it, "Do you remember hearing about bucket headed guy? that he has a person living inside that Helmet?"

Fate said as he floated above her, "It's a helmet, not a bucket and is this one going to insult me too?"

Fiona said, "The only one that insults you is Yama and that's because he considers 'him' as a selfish coward that couldn't accept what people have to accept. Now, will you let me explain to the kids why I call my Arcana as my friends or do I gotta use a Makakaja on you?" She said in her heart, 'not that I have access to that spell yet.'

He said, "What's that spell...I'm assuming that's a spell."

Fiona said, "It's a spell that can seal someone's movements or magic...and I will use it on your mouth if you continue interrupting." She thought for a moment, "Well, it is a very complicated subject but, I will try to explain it in a way you guys can understand it. Each form is me...but, due to them having different personalities, they are also like another person. So, I see them as partners, friends and family. Do you understand?" The kids looked confused but, Fate could understand...well the concept anyway.

Fiona exhaled, "Now go back home before I ask Anzu or Kelpie to lick you to death." The kids laughed and ran away. When they were far away and said, "That didn't sound crazy at all...I have multiple 'friends' in my head that gives me different powers and affinities." She just laid down in the grass looking at the sky.

Fate said, "Well, no one said that our powers made sense to normal humans. I have lived for eons and I have never heard about any of your abilities. Maybe shape-shifting but. none of the quirks or spells you have."

Fiona said, "I'm just special that way." She closed her eyes to get some rest. She was tired from everything...especially with that fusion ritual she had done. She said, "Coming to say goodbye Lo?" She then thought, 'Shit, accidentally said his pet name. uh, what do I do? I can't say that I am you future sworn sibling in the future right?'

He said, "Yes but, why did you call me Lo?"

Fiona said a little too quickly, "One of the desciples, Louise, was planning to go to Shangri-la for Ki training tomorrow and I thought you were her." when she saw Fate about to say something she gave a glare at him and had a bit of blue fire appear near her hand before it receded.

He nodded but, knew that she lied, he was smart like that. He then went back to the runes that he had made and left. She exhaled, "Thank the Celestials that's over. I am going to bed." She then went back to her room to rest.
