Chapter 6 - One Year Later

It was exactly one year later since Ray had come to Nepal, in that time he had read all the Buddhist scriptures and learned all the magic that he could. With Ray's photographic memory and his ability to read and understand all languages immediately he had mastered almost everything. Ray even wondered why he had mastered almost everything, was learning magic really that easy ? Now Ray had a plan to gain access to the eye of Agamotto or better known as the time stone.

Ray has always wondered why in the movie Doctor Strange, the young Doctor Stephen Strange could easily gain access to the eye of Agamotto, the time stone. Now in the real Kamar Taj, Ray could see that the eye of Agamotto is protected all the time by two magicians or a master magician. Ray wondered if he is being trolled by Marvel Studios, could Marvel have made the plot different so Doctor Strange did not end up being a thief that stole the eye of Agamotto ? And now that Ray is in the real Marvel Universe, the plot of the movie did not follow the real Marvel world. Ray just mumbled "Marvel you are a fuċkɨnġ troll.", every time he thought of this. To Ray, Marvel was a bastard and a troll.

In that one year, Ray had spent time ingratiating himself towards the Ancient One and Mordo. Ray had also heard the name of Kaecilius, one of students here in Kamar Taj. Ray had not met Kaecilius yet. But knowing that the villain of the Doctor Strange movie was here with him did not make him feel better. Ray decided to meet with the Ancient One and Baron Karl Mordo to plan his scheme to get access to the eye of Agamotto or better known as the time stone.

Somewhere in a small room in Kamar Taj, where Ray was meeting up with only the Ancient One and Master Baron Karl Mordo. Yes Baron Karl Mordo finally made it this year to become a master magician.

"Father, mother...", Ray called out in his girlish voice to both the Ancient One and Baron Karl Mordo.

"Yes, Ray. What did you call us here today ?", Baron Karl Mordo asked curiously. The Ancient One just looked on at Ray and nodded her head and smiled.

"I have a plan father to add a layer of protection to the Earth against foreign invaders by using the eye of Agamotto and a spell I just created.", Ray said in his girlish voice as he smiled sweetly.

"Let's have a look at that spell.", the Ancient One spoke out first as both the Ancient One and Baron Karl Mordo extended out their hands.

"Here...", Ray said in his girlish voice as he handed out two stacks of paper to the Ancient One and Baron Karl Mordo.

Both the Ancient One and Baron Karl Mordo looked at it and scanned through every detail of the spell.

"It's too risky Ray. I don't agree to this plan. I forbid it.", Baron Karl Mordo said grimly.

"But...", Ray cried out in his girlish voice.

"No. I don't approve of this spell, it adds just another layer of protection. But the risk is we don't know what effect it would have on the eye of Agamotto. The treasure bestowed upon us by the first sorcerer supreme of Earth.", Baron Karl Mordo said as he left the papers he was holding behind and left the room.

Ray looked depressed but he had hope as he saw that the Ancient One has not said anything yet and was still in the room.

"Mother...", Ray said in a girlish voice.

"Ray my son, I think I could allow you to try this spell but no one must ever know about this. I could arrange a gap in the protection time of the eye of Agamotto so you could approach the eye of Agamotto and perform your spell.", the Ancient One said with a smile.

The reason the Ancient One had agreed for Ray to try his spell is because a few decades ago before Ray was even born, all the infinity stones in the universe including the time stone suddenly weakened slightly. It was followed by the disappearance of the Dark Dimension and Dormammu. This has caused the Ancient One to be unable to absorb the energy of the Dark Dimension and has rapidly shortened her lifespan. Now that she was dying and would soon no longer to be here to protect the Earth, she thought that an extra layer of protection to the Earth would not be a bad idea. Since there was something dangerous out there that had caused the disappearance of Dormammu and the Dark Dimension.

The Ancient One had talked to Ray for a while more and told him, she would tell him the time to approach the eye of Agamotto.

Ray soon approached the eye of Agamotto alone, he didn't even set up the candles for the magic spell. All Ray wanted to do was grasp the eye of Agamotto and find a way to absorb its powers and get stronger. Touching the eye of Agamotto, Ray's hand shuddered in excitement, he could see the energy flow of the time stone as the eye of Agamotto opened to reveal the time stone. Suddenly a ray of light rushed out of the time stone in the eye of Agamotto and hit Ray causing him to lose his consciousness. Ray slumped down on the floor and a wave of energy worked its way around his body making changes. Ray's appearance seems to become younger and more feminine.

An hour later.

"Ray ! Ray ! What happened to you ?", the Ancient One said as she grasped Ray's shoulder carefully and lifted him up.

"Huh ! Where am I ? Oh ! Yes, something happened.", Ray said in a girlish and disoriented voice.

"Yes, I can see that the candles are set up and the spell lines are drawn on the floor. What happened ? Did the spell fail ?", the Ancient One asked curiously.

"Huh ?! The candles are set up and the spell line has been drawn ?!", Ray said in shock as he knew he did not set up the candle or draw the spell line since the spell he proposed did not work in the first place.

"I don't know Master !", Ray said in a loud girlish voice. Ray was surrounded by Baron Karl Mordo and many magicians and master magicians from Kamar Taj. Baron Karl Mordo look disappointed at Ray.

"Something has happened to you Ray, let me check you first.", the Ancient One said seriously.
