------------------------------------------------------------

Joanne Bones, a popular writer for the whole world, but, a new and youngest secret agent of a secret organization, never thought, that, this is how she is going to spend her first day, after moving into her recently bought home. Watching her favorite drama while munching on some snacks, this was supposed to be just another resting day for her. Lazing around, doing nothing. But sometimes, or probably most of the time, our day doesn't go how we want it to. And today Joanne's resting day became a day she will never forget in her life as she found herself in her bedroom, staring at a grey-colored cocoon thing with some kind of red pattern, and a bald woman who came out of some kind of portal and kept staring at the cocoon.

A normal person's reaction in such a situation would have been to run away from the room screaming looking for help, But Joanne decided to assess the situation and try to somehow inform her organization for help.

Just as she was about to press the emergency button present in her bracelet that would transmit her location and the request for help she heard the bald woman's voice for the first time, "That thing won't work miss Bones. All electrical appliances of your house including those little trinkets present on your body are useless now."

Hearing her words Joanne was shocked, not by the fact that all electrical appliances were useless now as she had few gadgets that could do the same but by the fact that the unknown Bald Woman knew her name and she was going to activate her bracelet.

Not having any other options she decided to get some information first and if it came to fighting the other party, although she didn't know what means they had but she had some confidence in her skills and the small gun hidden on her body.

"Who are you? This is my house, a private property. You can't just barge into someone's room and do stuff like frying all electrical appliances."

"You can call me Ancient One and I apologize for barging into your house Miss Bones. And about messing up with your stuff. That thing is done by this little guy here." replied the woman now identified as Ancient One.

"Ancient One? Are we playing some kind of role-playing game here? and what is that thing on my bed?"

"You can joke quite well Miss Bones, but given your profession, this thing should be natural to you. And this little 'thing' is someone who can either save the world or destroy it depending upon the choice you will make."

"I don't get what you're talking about but the only choice I currently have is to inform the police. So if you don't want to spend a few years in a locker, I suggest you leave as soon as possible," said Joanne in an angry tone.

"Don't you think it's funny that one of the most dangerous humans living on earth, working for a world-class secret organization will call Cops," said Ancient One once again shocking Joanne.

"Just who are you?" Joanne asked once again now with a gun no one knew from where she got, pointing towards the Ancient One.

"As I've already told you, I am the Ancient One. The Sorcerer Supreme as well as the leader of the Masters of the Mystic Arts."

"Do you think I'm a child who'll believe all that? Believe me or not if I don't get a good answer this time there will be a bullet in your body."

"Miss Bones, there are many things that are kept hidden for normal human safety. Things like magic, mystic arts, Demons, monsters, and everything you have heard about are real. All you need is strength to see them." Saying so she flashed towards Joanne and attacked her chest with a palm pushing out her soul from her body.

Seeing herself floating and her body in front of her, falling slowly, Joanne was shocked to her core. Although she has seen many weird things in her short career of being an agent. This was the first time she experienced something like this.

[Ancient One's POV]

Ah! this never gets old. seeing her shocked face is so satisfying.

"You are currently in your astral form. A body made up of pure energy separated from your physical form. Astral Dimension can only be accessed in this form. What you're currently experiencing should be able to make you believe what I'm saying."

"I still don't get most of what you're saying but can you please return me to my body?" asked the little girl in a panicked voice and although I want to play some more with her I don't have enough time.

"Sure." Saying so I made her 'soul' enter back into her body.

[Narrator's POV]

Getting back inside her body Joanne was finally able to relax somewhat but her wariness towards the Ancient One increased more.

Backing away from her she asked, "I get it that you're some kind of super magician, but what are you here for?"

"Sorcerer Miss Bones. We are not called magicians. And I am the leader of all Sorcerers. I know you have read some cases about us in that Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. And you should not be afraid of me as I won't harm you. Our job is to protect Earth from other mystical creatures residing in different dimensions."

"Okay. So you guys are something like protectors of the earth? Then what are you here for?"

"I am here for this little guy," said Ancient One pointing towards the cocoon that now had cracks on it.

"This egg-like thing? Is there some kind of magical animal in it?"

"Magical, yes. Animal? No. The child inside this metamorphic cocoon is the same as you and me. At least in appearance, he's a human. But the impact of the choices taken by him or those who will come in contact with him in near future will affect this world in different ways." answered the Ancient One.

"If this thing is so dangerous then won't it be good if you take it away from here and put it in some secure place?"

"That's the main problem Miss Bones. We Sorcerer can't come in contact with kids of his kind without their guardian's permission. That's why I'm here right now to ask you to take care of him."

Hearing her say that Joanne said in a tired voice "Can we get over with all this as early as possible? I'm having headaches with all these things happening here. All I wanted to do today was just relax and probably get some inspiration for my new book. First, you barged into my house with some unknown methods and said that you're some kind of grand magician and proclaimed yourself as the most powerful being on earth. Now you sound like you're scared of coming in contact with whatever it is inside that egg which god knows where it came from. Can you please just tell me straight what the hell is going here? What is it inside that egg?"

"Sigh! Young people have no patience at all. Well, let's start with what's inside this cocoon..."
