38 Wong?

"Follow me, I will take you to her" The man said and I immediately followed him

The man was wearing a set of ancient robes usually seen on monks but it weirdly went well with his environment which made the man exhibit an aura that suggested that he was in perfect harmony with his environment.

"Where is this place?" I asked the man keeping up with my act

"The New York Sanctum… a place filled with Mystery and power. You know sometimes I wonder what my ancestors did for me to even secure a job working here"

"What?… so you're its protector or what" I asked

"I wish, you have to have a certain level of mastery over the Mystic arts to be considered a protector of a sanctum… they are second only to the Sorcerer Supreme… speaking of her, its rare to see someone come here to boldly ask about her"

"Who are you then?" I asked ignoring all the later comments the man had made

"Oh my name is Wong, I am the caretaker of this sanctuary" The man answered turning back towards me and winked

I couldn't believe it, has the MCU warped my perception of the entire Marvel Universe. Wong should be a high level adept in the Mystic Arts who protects and acts as the librarian of Kamar-taj now he was just a caretaker.

[I don't think he's lying sir, I don't sense that much power in him] Queen responded

"Re-scan him… Wong can't be just a caretaker, I mean this is Wong, were talking about here" I replied her

[It doesn't change a thing, I would suggest you stop basing certain people off the Meta-knowledge you possess]

"i suggest you stop basing people off the Meta-knowledge you possess… see how you sound"

[I swear to god, I will turn off your systems]

"You and I both know you can't do that"

[True but nothing says that I cant spend the next few hours hacking into your mind to do so]

"I dare you" I challenged with a grin

[We'll see]

"Enough of the bickering, please…. I may not be a master of the mystic Arts but I have spent years studying it and you two are driving me crazy" Wong suddenly shouted stopping me in my tracks

We were clearly communicating through our weird psionic link but somehow he was still able to hear our conversation which meant that he was still the Wong, I knew. The man who could stand along side Strange and fight Thanos.

"I told you"

[Dumbass, we are talking to each other to a regular technological network….. this is our link] Queen said as something changed mid-sentence

"F**k!" I shouted in realization

"We are here, beyond this door is a place you must never talk about to anyone or you shall be punished"

"Whats so special about it?"

"Its the birth place of the first Mystic in our entire universe… welcome to Kamar-Taj" Wong said in a dramatic way as he opened the door to reveal a large ancient courtyard

An Asian Courtyard to be exact… well an ancient high up courtyard because this place was clearly old and whoever owned it then surely had money that went into designing such an exquisite structure. The courtyard was empty but I could feel the energy in the air… I could tell that beyond the small gate, there were even more wonders but the courtyard held more life energy than everywhere I had ever been to, combined.

[It is better than Prosh initially recorded] Queen suddenly said

"This is amazing… no wonder the sorcerers from Kamar-Taj are all a different breed compared to the rest" I thought to myself as I stepped through the door and into the courtyard

Turning back to see if Wong was still following, I saw the man bowing in my direction in such a manner that suggested that this was where he stopped. This universe definitely did Wong dirty but well it isnt like I have some way to reset his talent to be good enough for him to become a Master of the Mystic art.

"So I just walk up to the door and knock"

"Yes… the path beyond the door is yours and yours alone to take…"

"I wish you good luck" the man said after a brief dramatic break

"Thanks" I replied somewhat confused.. what was going to happen

Is this some sort of test or something, the Ancient One invited me here to take a test… now that's some cruel shit right there. I know I may know some magic and has a lot of shambled Meta-knowledge about this universe but this didn't make sense. No one invites someone and then makes them take a test just to see them.
