Chapter 141: Kamar Taj
"Soldiers, ATTENTION," He said loudly.
Amy slowly got up and rubbed her eyes. She was already smiling seeing her Grandpa like that. "What happened, Glanpa?"
"Ah, just 5 more minutes," Rina said in her sleep.
"Good morning sweety, and I am taking you to a place called Kamar Taj in Nepal. You would meet a very nice person there. She will teach you all kinds of magic. Different from mine but still Magic. You will be able to make portals and probably fly too."
Alexander\'s words grabbed Rina\'s attention and she quickly got up.
"Soldier Rina reporting for training, Sir." Magic always fascinated her and it was her long time wish to learn it. But Alexander\'s magic couldn\'t be learned by her.
"Yes, Soldier Amy too," Amy jumped.
"Haha, then brush your teeth and pack your bags. We are going on a very long trip." He said and left the room.Both girls rushed to bathrooms to get ready.
"Dada, my clothes?" Leo asked from over Alexander\'s shoulders. He was just 4 years old at the time.
"Your clothes are already packed, my boy. Let\'s go out and wait for the two. Your mother is likely to get angry about this." He thought.
"Yes, I am angry. What is this about you taking our kids away?" She angrily asked.
"Oh, my dear Olivia. Don\'t get angry. It\'s just like a tour camp for them. I\'ll teach them magic. You can also visit them whenever you want to." He reasoned.
"Why do you think that a 4-year-old boy should learn to fight?" She asked.
"Because he is not a 4-year-old son of a couple living in some suburbs. He is the son of God\'s Advocate. Besides, I\'m not forcing him. He\'s too bored staying here and doing nothing. Kamar Taj will be a nice change for him." He replied.
"Yes Mom, I want to go" Leo pleaded, showing his cute big eyes. His technique seems to work on her every time.
"*Sigh* I hope you know what you are doing, dear." She came and gave Leo a kiss on the head.
"Yes, mom. I\'ll be a good boy."
Just then, Rina and Amy walked in. Rina had a huge bag on her back. It looked quite comical. Amy had a small bag on her back and she was also carrying her painting kit.
"Glanma, my kiss?" Amy shouted.
"Aw, come here Amy. You get ten kisses." Olivia fawned over her.
Alexander walked to Rina and checked her backpack. "Rina, why is your backpack only filled with food?"
"I don\'t want to bankrupt Kemar Taj." She replied.
"It\'s Kamar Taj, and I\'ll be sponsoring the food there, so no worries." He assured.
Rina felt elated hearing that. "Really? That\'s awesome. But I\'ll still keep my food for backup."
Alexander just sighed, "I really don\'t understand how you fit all that food in your little stomach."
He looked at everyone, "Alright, soldiers, are you ready?"
The 3 clumsily stood up in a line and saluted him. "Yes, Sir."
"Haha, good. Follow me." He turned around and took out the Anywhere door.
"WAIT FOR ME" A new voice came.
They all turned their heads and saw Howard running up to him with a big bag on his shoulders. Alexander had already given him the High Human Serum, an upgraded version of the Supersoldier serum.
"Did you think you can go without me? I want to learn magic too." He said.
"Uncle, Howdy" Leo and Amy happily ran to him.
"Haha, Alright. You can come, Howard." Alexander accepted.
...
Kamar Taj,
Mordo was silently sweeping the main hall. It was to be readied for the evening feast ordered by the Ancient One, for the arrival of the upcoming guest.
Suddenly some noise started to come from behind him. He looked and found a strange pink door. Whistle noises were coming from the other side.
*Bam*
Suddenly the door opened to his face and Alexander walked in, behind him, Leo, Amy, Rina, and Howard marched in with whistles in their mouths.
"Left right left" the repeated.
"Oh, what are you doing on the floor, Mordo. We are not in Japan, you don\'t need to be prostrate." Alexander joked.
"Ah, Sir. Ancient One was waiting for you. I\'ll lead you to her." He stiffly answered and got up.
"Okay, lead the way."
Soon they marched to the open training ground where Ancient One was instructing others. They all stopped from the noise of whistles.
" Ancient One, I have arrived with your new students." He introduced. He refrained from calling her Yao in public as everyone had a reputation to maintain.
Ancient One came to him and shook his hand. Then she looked at the kids and the extra one.
Howard looked at her and gave a small bow, "Greetings, Ancient One."
"Welcome to Kamar Taj. You all will be given rooms and new clothes. But before that, let me introduce ....., Everyone, he\'s also a Sorcerer like us but his magic is different from ours. The kids are the new students that will be studying here so be kind to them. Master in Training, Mordo will teach you now." She ordered and walked away with Alexander.
She took them to their rooms. Rina and Howard were getting separate rooms. Amy and Leo will be sharing.
"So, Yao. What are you going to teach me?" Alexander asked.
"Well, that\'s the problem. I don\'t think there is anything that you can not learn. Even the things that I can\'t comprehend might be easy for you. So, I am granting you full access to the Library. I\'ll just focus on teaching new students."
Ancient One was actually looking forward to seeing how good Alexander\'s children would be.
"Alright, It\'ll probably not take much time for me to learn. I am looking forward to what Rina and Amy will learn. One is a foodie and the other is only into art." He thought loudly.
"Haha, I will have fun teaching them" Ancient One laughed.
From there, Alexander headed to the library, only to find Wong. For some reason, Wong had already become the librarian. This meant that he\'d be in danger when Kaecilius betrays.
"Hey, Wong. How are you?" Alexander asked the librarian.
"What can I do for you?" He plainly asked.
"Ah, nothing. I\'m just here to get some books. You must be hungry. Here" he waved his hand and a plate full of various Sushi appeared.
"Enjoy," he said and walked into the huge library. He skimmed through the basics and took the intermediate and advanced ones to his room. The magic of the Mystic Arts was based on not using the energy in the body, but outside it. Everyone has an affinity for it. Some small and some big. Doctor Strange must have it pretty high.
For Alexander, it was easy. He just channeled the magic from Apec. Similar to what Ancient One does with the Dark Dimension.
The most amazing thing he liked about it was the ability to make mirror dimensions. Now he could go all out with enemies without caring for the world outside.
Then it came to the Forbidden books. He was disappointed with them. There wasn\'t anything new to them. They all were books based on studies of the 6 Infinity Stones. That is why they were forbidden. It kind of made sense that Kamar Taj would have such knowledge. After all, their whole society was based on protecting one of them.
He still learned it as he was planning on eating them later. He\'d probably need the knowledge to use them.
...
2 weeks passed,
Alexander got ready and went to see how his kids were doing. Rina had a muffin in her hand, Amy was drawing the scenery, Leo was acting as the model for Amy, and Howard was trying to make the sling ring work to make a portal. Ancient One was happily looking at them from the side and drinking some tea.
"Hmm, how come only Howard is practicing?" He asked.
"Well, your children exceeded my expectations. They all successfully made portals. Leonidas was even able to make one to your planet Finta. It\'s a big feat in itself as it requires a lot of power to make it. Howard is yet to successfully make it. I\'m afraid I\'ll have to use some other means to push him." She sipped.
Alexander walked to all his kids and gave them encouraging pats on their heads. Amy got a bit angry for disturbing her art. Rina was always glutton and made happy noises while eating.
Then Ancient One suddenly stood up and walked to Howard.
"Stark, I\'m afraid we\'ll have to use some other means." She conjured a portal to the peak of Mount Everest and pushed him. Then close the portal.
"You do know that he\'s physically enhanced. That much cold won\'t hurt him." Alexander reminded her.
She nodded, "Yes I know, but he has only one way to come back quickly. But he can also climb down if he wants."
"Hahaha, let\'s see how much time it will take." He laughed.
"I bet 5 muffins that Uncle Howdy will not return today." Rina placed 5 muffins on the table. Alexander and Ancient One just picked one each and ate them.
"Hey, those were for bets." Rina cutely pouted.
