After Loki left, he went straight to Freya to tell her what happened. He originally wanted to stay longer but, the way Fiona treated him and the strong sense of familiarity it felt like he felt. Especially when she called him Lo, He felt she was trying to hide something due to her quick reactions...like, she was bad at lying.
He entered her chambers and saw both her and Odin was there. He quickly bowed as Odin asked, "So, what did that human want, what was the deal?"
Loki said, "She wanted to make a business deal with mother. She said that she would sell some materials to her, the Sanctuary and the dwarves for money, knowledge or supplies she may need in the future. She also gave us a few samples of what she could sell us...and they seem useful in my opinion."
Odin asked, "Is she a threat and what did she give you?" He was concerned about if she would attack them.
Loki said, "She gave us a yarn that's fire resistant, an orb that can cure burns and a crystal shard that can produce a low charge of electricity. She did say that the orb and shard were one use items and asked me to give them to mother to study them. She didn't feel like she would attack us, she showed respect to mother and Hiemdal, even though, she called him an old man."
Odin nodded before leaving. Once the doors closed Freya asked, "What are you holding back?" At his look she said, "I am your mother, I can tell."
Loki said, "It felt like she knew me...that she was extremely familiar with me, Hiemdal, you and the others but, wanted to hide it. Every time she looked at me, she had a playful, loving and nostalgic look in her eyes like we were friends. The funny thing was, I have never met her before."
Freya said, "hmm, let me try something," She took a strand of his hair and put it in a bowl of water to devine his future. She watched the swirling water and laughed thinking, 'She acted awkward because she does know Loki, one from the future and didn't want to screw up the timeline. It looks like they become quite close hence the complicated emotions.'
She said, "You don't have to worry, from what I saw, she will be an important person to you in the future."
She moved to get a drink of water and thought, 'It also looked like she was trying to nudge Thor in the right direction with her pranks.'

Fiona slowly woke up and saw Fate floating above her. In her half asleep state, She used a spell called Garu which, produced a wind attack that was enough to through him into a wall. She fully woke up and yelled, "What the HIFL, You old pervert! Get out of my room before I make you!"
He coughed a bit of blood and flew out with a shield spell active. He said, "I check on you due to you sleeping a whole day and you attack me!"
She yelled, "Take that as a lesson for going into a girls room uninvited!" She wrapped herself in a blanket with her entire face beet red. She locked the door after forcing him out. The desciples looked at him with a tad of disgust look.
Fiona cried into her pillow, 'My reputation is ruined, wait, why should I care what others think? ugh, Gorramn the two other lives. All of my lives have never been with a guy before they died.' She said, "This is embarrassing..."
After awhile, she left her room as Pixie trying to be stealthy to not get any more embarrassed, 'at least I don't glow like a certain fairy or I would be more embarrassed. Why do I want to sing the Muffin song now?' She said, "Forget it, let's just see if I can get my space bag made and then figure out who needs a butt whooping."
She then flew to the library and landed in front of the librarian. He looked down and said, "Pixie, I thought you couldn't use our magic..."
Pixie said, "I can't use your spells but, we can use runes and formations...at least that's what the mage types think. However, I wanted to see if there's a book...well, Silky wanted to see if there was a book that could tell me whether a storage artifact can be made."
He looked confused before she added, "Ya know, a piece of equipment like a bag or a ring that has it's own small deminsion inside where you can put non-living things in it for storage. I've read about them in my homeland and wanted to see if it's possible to make here before seeing the dwarves."
He said, "There's no books on it...It does sound like an interesting concept...can you tell me more?" He wanted to write some of the information down as it seemed like an interesting thing to study.
Pixie nodded, "Um, let me change forms...cause, Yama is better than me at explaining this stuff." She flew back before being covered in blue fire before changing into Yama's form.
He looked at the man before, the ancient one came in and asked, "Fi, I heard you had an interesting encounter today."
Yama knew what she meant and said, "Sorry but, Fiona isn't here today...only us Arcana. I think I got pixies joke right." He was a serious person and normally didn't make jokes but, Pixie kept nagging so, he could only oblige.
The Ancient One said, "She isn't, did you guys force her or..." She had heard that if she gets in contact with one too powerful it could take over her body.
Yama said, "She's choosing to hide because of that event and other than me, no other Arcana are high leveled enough to do what your suggesting." He was able to do so but, he figured that since, he was her main Arcana he had to keep the other Arcana in check. Which caused them to see him as the 'father' figure of the bunch.
Yama said, "She gave me permission to take over while, she gets her head on straight...and some training in her mindscape with Koppa."
She said, "Koppa? Is that her new Arcana?" She had only seen three of her forms which was Pixie, Yama and Succubus; She heard about Anzu's description but, hadn't seen it.
He said, "Yes, Koppa Tengu, consider him as a messenger of the Shinto gods. I am sure you can find a drawing or description about all of us in one of your books."
She thought, 'So, I should look into mythology to understand her abilities?'
He said nonchalantly, "I suggest you don't try it, our abilities can't be taught and you don't have the qualifications or time to gain them. Focus on living til you meet your most powerful student...then die gracefully, leave the future to him and your disciples afterward."
He then wrote down the concept of dao and the element table with a picture of fire, water, earth, air and lightning in a circle and drew arrows to were each was more powerful against the other. He then drew yin and yang in the middle of the circle. Yama said, "The dao are merely rules of the universe and the universe requires balance. So, each element has it's own strength and weakness. For example, those with a water attack can beat those with fire but, fire can beat earth. This is the truth for the monks in Shangri-la and Onmyo. Honestly, no one knows which, 'truth' is real so, you have to find it yourself."
The Ancient One said, "Aren't you God of hell? How come you don't know?" She was kind of dumbfounded at what he said along with the librarian.
He said, "Each universe or realm has it's own rules and power systems. This universe has Asgardians to defend the Earth from external threats. In another, The Daughter of Zeus, an Egyptian priestess, speedster, a martian, Kryptonian and a man in a bat suit could be protectors of earth. One universe may have a Ki system(dbza), another may have Rietsu(bleach) or Chakra(Naruto). One may have a fruit that gives you abilities like becoming a rubber man but, takes away your ability to swim(One Piece). So, it's understandable that the rules I know may not be true to the system your universe has."
[a/n: I am thinking of her going to these 'verses in the future. What do you think?]
The ancient one said, "That kind of makes sense but, is that last one true?" She kind of understood the others but, Rubber man? really?
He shrugged, "Anything's possible, you live in a world of tech. One that doesn't believe magic exists and yet you practice it. As I said, 'what one universe has, may not be applicable for another."
