I apologize if I am interrupting your wedding preparations. It's very soon, isn't it?

I just wanted to ask you something. About dark magic.

	It is rather soon, but it isn't to be a large spectacle as Stark's wedding. Only New Asgard, although the feast after lasts a week. So if you'd like to attend for a meal, by all means please do. As to the dark magic, I am aware of such and have learned a few clandestine dark spells here and there. What is it you wish to ask? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A week? Really? That is a lot of food, but it sounds like it'll be fun. I battled some demonic entity that ended up tainting me with its presence. And I became ill because of it, but as I recently learned, that illness is because I'm...pregnant. Actually. Do you know of a way to separate a dark presence from a developing baby?

The feast is of more import than the wedding itself. By the sounds of it, you may need a...distraction. Congratulations are in order for the pregnancy, albeit the nature of such goes beyond the extraordinary.

I've not heard many tales of mortals being so afflicted. But there is lore regarding other races who have, let us say, accepted elemental aspects into themselves in such a manner? Thus the reason there are Light Elves, Dark Elves, Frost and Fire Giants, so on and so forth. If you wish to keep the child, that will complicate matters.

I would need speak with some of elder mages of Alfheim.

I would very much like a distraction. Is it alright if I bring Vision? We have also planned to be married but this recent development sort of put a lot more at the top of the list to deal with.

I'm sure my powers also contributed in some way. They're more stable than they've ever been, but I haven't exactly reached the limits - I don't even know what I'm entirely capable of.

I do want to keep the baby. I'd appreciate any help. I don't want to put it all on Stephen either.

If it is to one of the feasting days? Of course. The wedding will be a smaller and more intimate affair for Asgard only, I'm afraid.

You must forgive me, as I am at a slight disadvantage. I'm not entirely familiar with your powers, seeing as how the forward momentum of time wiped out most of my memories of this world.

I'm gathering, because it is of this world, it would be treated as a demonic infestation. I would need more specifics. How is it you were tainted, precisely? And is it a dark manifestation of this reality, or another entirely?

That sounds very nice. We would love to celebrate with you on one of the feast days.

Oh - well, let's see. My powers came as a result of the mind stone. Baron Wolfgang von Strucker conducted tests on the Chitauri Scepter, and asked citizens of Sokovia to volunteer for human experimentation. My twin brother and I volunteered, hoping to help our country with new superpowers. Most humans perished in the experiments, but not us. The tests we underwent unlocked latent powers within us. Now I have telepathy, telekinesis, and what is essentially mind control, plus kind of a...I can make people see their greatest fears.

I was closing a portal opened by the work of a Cthulhu cult leader. Before the portal closed, it - whatever demonic entity it was seemingly puked all over me. Black sludge. I think that was the night I...conceived. I am going to assume the manifestation was from another reality, one where these demons run rampant.

We would be honored. I shall send word when we are ready, and speak to Thor so that we might arrange your accommodations.

~~Ah ha. That cursed scepter strikes again...~~

I see. Being imbued with such a power and surviving speaks highly of your resolve, which aids you in casting of magic so effectively. If you were causing others to see their greatest fear, then you are unafraid of using your powers. And that bodes well. More so that you might aid in getting this fell creature out of you and your child.

As for demons, I know of several entities that would be counted as a demon by Midgard's standards.

If it was entering through a portal and required physical contact, the creature obviously isn't psionic or astral. They tapped into another dimension entirely. Then there are several dark entities or sorcerers and their minions it could be. A creature created by the Mhuruuks or rogue Faltines, perhaps.

I suppose that Earth's current Sorcerer Supreme believes he can remove it himself. Appologies, that is not only arrogant but dangerous. If it has created a child out of both of your wills, it will be delicate work.

Thank you, Loki. Are you and your fiancee-soon-to-be-bride accepting gifts? I think we can come up with something better than a toaster.

Faltines sound familiar. I read a book at Stephen's about them. They're from the same dimension Dormammu came from, aren't they?

I don't want anything to happen to him. He's been trying to find the right spell for it, but I know you're right. It's too dangerous for him to do it himself. Is there any way I can help too? He told me to let him handle it, out of not wanting to tip the entity off, but like I said...I don't want anything to happen to him.

I know that is a Midgardian custom, so yes, of course. If you'd like to, that would be lovely. We both enjoy the tarts that pop from toasters, for what it is worth?

My, you are well read. They are actually from the the Faltine Dimension, but Dormammu is a rogue Faltine. A being borne of pure magic and energy. There's several such lesser beings roaming after being formed into being, particularly in the Dark Dimension. Every so often, one slips through the veil into this reality. It's possible that some bumbling sorcerer called it forth. Summoning specific elementals and making a novice mistake, for example.

The entity will do much the same as the Reality Stone did when it infiltrated Jane Foster. It will attempt to protect itself and its host. Even your demonologists or exorcists...is that what they are called? They seem to have quite the time removing infestations.

I have some ability to breeze through minds and suggest things to those who are susceptible to such suggestion. Perhaps if I tricked it, it might be left unaware, and then you could work with him to rid yourself of it.

It would need be sent back from whence it came, afterward.

Pop tarts? You learn something new everyday.

Yes, I think the bumbling cultist acting pretending he was a sorcerer called it forth. That makes it sense. It was certainly a novice mistake that effected me more than I thought it would. Now I'm just glad I closed the portal.

That sounds like a good idea though, tricking it. Otherwise it will resist strongly, I'm sure. But then Stephen and myself would have room to remove it.

We're very fond of the tarts that pop out of toasters. I like the blue berry ones the most.

Can you give me the location of the portal, and that way I can see if there's any residue left behind, to find a point of origin?

Truly. If it's a demonic presence, or even a lesser imp, you'll need trick it to be rid of it. Otherwise, it will become defensive and very stubbornly refuse to leave. And no one likes the effects of a demon overstaying its welcome.

	I will certainly keep this in mind. I like the s'mores ones, though they're very sweet. Yes, of course. [address of apartment] That was the cult leader's hidey hole. He won't remember anything that happened that night, I made sure of it. I agree. I also don't particularly want to give birth to a baby with a demon inside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_trickster 2019-07-14 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Those are rather sweet, but I do enjoy Midgardian chocolate. Give me a day to go forth and study it. I won't interfere with the inept fool, since I can render myself invisible for a time. That he doesn't remember is a blessing, as the idiot might have tried it again. Then we can see about a trick, when we know from whence it came. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have gathered from whence the demon was summoned. Regrettably, I fear it's from a particular death dimension known as Hell. Far different from the Helheim that we Asgardians know of. It was easily deduced from the residue left behind that time moved differently. A day of time here equates to years there. Thus the demon essence within you was likely from one of the old ones.

I will not mince words. It will be difficult to trick, and equally so to remove it without one of our number striking a deal with the lord of that realm.

I will work with you and Midgard's mage when you both name the time and the place.

	Thank you, Loki. I don't need the word mincing anyway, so I appreciate the candor. I also do not like the sound of making a deal ~~Stephen already did that once, and he died thousands of times--~~ but we will have to see. Let me chat with Stephen and decide on a time to meet, and where. Likely it will be at the Sanctum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're quite welcome. Do keep me informed and I will arrive ready for some tricks. When the moment arrives, remember to keep your mind open and trust that I know what I'm doing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
