Xandar

696 B.C - Castle: Entrance

Asera and Scáthach stood at the entrance, hugging eachother tightly. Asera was about to leave once more, except this time, Asera didn't know if she would be coming back any time soon.

It had been a few days since the infinity stone had been calling to her, and the call had only gotten stronger the longer she was apart from it, so she decided she would be leaving the Nine all together.

Of course, she also was doing this because she wanted to get away from Odin. She knew it wouldn't be long before he found her after all. She knew the only reason she wasn't found within the first month of her last visit to Midgard was because Odin was only half-heartedly searching for her.

Plus, now that the girl had the Space Stone, Asera could easily go anywhere in the universe, provided she knew what she was looking for.

And, after spending a few hours in the library, Asera found a good place to try and continue her life in peace, away from Odin, and away from the stone's calling.

"Stay safe, Asera." Scáthach said, checking over the slightly shorter girl. "You have everything you need right? Space Stone, Gáe Luvi, Food, Water, and Prana filled gems."

The Prana filled gems were simple. They had no spells loaded onto them, as someone normally would when preforming jewelcraft, but Asera only really cared to use them to refill her own prana reserves. She could, after all, cast magic just as quickly as she could throw and activate the gems.

Asera chuckled at how Scáthach began to worry about ever little detail of her departure. The girl gave a simple nod, wondering how Scáthach could think she would forget any of those items.

"Scáthach, I'll be fine, you don't have to worry so much." Asera said, slight smile on her face before she went in for one final embrace with her mentor.

The two seperated, giving eachother one final wave before Asera activated the space stone, still inside of the cube as she felt it would be a waste to take it out, even if it would be stronger without the cube.

Then, the girl entered the portal, leaving the nine realms for good. At least, that's what she assumed.

696 B.C - Xandar : Back Alley

As soon as Asera stepped out of the portal, she could already feel immense changes.

Firstly, the noise in the planet was immense. The second she stepped threw, she felt like she had just busted an eardrum. The second difference was the magic. She felt no prana on the planet what so ever.

The shocking part of this was the fact that she could see things like flying vehicles and artificial lights. Asera would've assumed this was the society that made the cube, but they had no magic in this place, so she knew it was untrue.

So, with Asera's first observations out of the way, Asera set out to make herself an identity in the Xandar

Of course, she couldn't just randomly pop up out of no where, so Asera knew she would be using a bit of hypnosis magic to make sure she was out of the way of the authorities.

695 B.C - Xandar : Asera's Apartment

Asera sat on a small couch, reading a book she had gotten from her job, chuckling slightly as she turned the page.

It had been a year since she had arrived in the Xandar and set up her new identity.

She now went by Asera-A, a simple librarian. The girl had enjoyed the peaceful life she had set up here.

Of course, she missed Scáthach daily, but she had been happy here, so even though she missed her, she didn't regret leaving.

The girl also hadn't felt the stone calling to her over the last year, so that was a rather nice blessing.

During her time spent as a librarian, she spent most of her shift reading books on the technology of the Nova Core. At first, it had been more than she could comprehend, but over the year, she had began to understand it all.

She enjoyed learning things like engineering and programming. She had even bought a laptop from a store with some of the money she had definatly not just conjured.

Learning things like engineering was expensive when you needed the practical knowledge, so she told herself it was fine, not at all cheating out the other people of Xandar who didn't know how to do magic.

Plus, there was nothing in the planet to dispel her projections so it was pretty much real.

Then, the goddess' door was opened an in walked a woman. She had waist length brown hair, cute blue eyes and a button nose.

This was Esrie, she was Asera's roommate. The girl was chemist. The only reason she really needed a roommate was because the school she went to costed so much money that even after graduating for the past two years, she was still forced to have a roommate.

Asera may have cheated the economic system with a bit of magic, but she still somewhat felt bad about projecting that fake money, so she decided she would only use her projection for things like learning.

"Hey, Asera." Esrie said, grabbing a bowl out of the kitchen and filling it with cereal. "I take it you're done with your shift today?"

Asera nodded, looking up from her book to pay attention to her roommate.

"Soooo," Esrie drawled on, smile on her features." Since tomorrow neither of us have work, how would you like to let me take you on a date?"

Asera sighed at the girl. This was the one thing that Asera didn't particularly like about her roommate. She would ask her on a date at least once a week, and no matter how many times she said no, she would ask again the next week.

"Es, you know my answer is no, why do you keep asking," Asera asked, slight smile on her features. The goddess would never admit it, but she was somewhat flattered with how persistent her roommate was.

"Why? Because I like you, a lot. Plus, you wouldn't have a smile on your face if you really wanted me to stop." Esrie said, playful smirk on her face.

Asera shook her head, going back to reading her book while Esrie sat on the opposite side of the couch, eating her food.
