Child of Silence

A Special Day Indeed

Chapter 9 "A Special Day Indeed"

Doctor Strange

Peace, calm, breathe in, breathe out. That is how to gain focus and see beyond yourself and into the infinite worlds. Focus on the serenity of mind without distractions without stress or strain of now and to the future of the astral-plane.

"Crash!"

"What, the..." Stephen Strange laid on the floor staring at the ceiling wondering how he got from his deep meditation to laying on the floor with a growing lump on the back of his head.

"Sir. Loki Odinson is here with his child."

"Thank you, Wong. Let me guess Harry is the reason that I am now flat on my ass." Strange asked looking up at his companion who was standing over him.

"He didn't fully come Through the door when the cloak flew in and wrapped around him." The Chinese sorcerer answered with a bare hint of a smile.

"I thought it was supposed to be my relic to wield? It seems that it wields me most of the time. It totally ignores me as soon as Harry comes with in ten feet of the Sanctum." Strange sighed, picking himself off the floor.

"It's sentient of course it will have its own personality. It is your relic but it can play favorites from time to time." Wong followed the Doctor to the stairs. They stood at the top of the stairs watching as the cloak of Levitation flew little Harry around the open space of the sanctum.

"Cloak will you please bring Harry down so he can say his good-bye to his father. There will be plenty of time for flying later." Stephen called to the relic. The Cloak fluttered down gently setting the boy on his feet.

"Haraldr the Doctor is correct you may play with The Cloak after your lessons. I wish I could stay with you for these Lessons but your Uncle Thor could not follow some simple instructions and now I am forced to clean up his mess." Loki Signed.

"Uncle Thor said that today was a special day. That we we're going to have a Feast tonight." Harry signed in return. Their lessons with Clint were progressing in a rapid rate and Loki knew this made Harry feel freer without having to use his voice disc constantly.

"That's correct and you will see why tonight when you come home for dinner." Loki smiled before turning his attention to the waiting doctor. "I'm sorry for leaving on such short notice but my brother has made a mess of the Tower and I need to use my magic to repair it. Also I am sorry but I will also have to leave this one in your care as well. With a snap of his finger Shadow appeared and jumped in Harry's arms. "That little jinx is what started the Mischief with my brother."

"Interesting, I'm sure Wong can keep the rascal out of trouble while we are busy with our Lessons. What time should I bring them home?"

"We shall be done with our projects by six maybe seven but if we finish early someone will come to fetch them." Loki nodded and turned to his son and placed a kiss on the boy's forehead. "Do enjoy your lessons and do not let the Cloak distract you. You both can play after your lessons when Doctor Strange says it's okay to do so."

"Yes Dad, I promise." Harry watched his father disappear then turned to his Magic teacher.

"Well Harry come with me I think you will find today's lessons very interesting." Strange motion for the boy to follow and the cloak levitated the child and flew next to Strange. Shadow did not seem to like the flying and jumped from Harry's arms to Wong's arms, who grunted a little at the weight of the cat.

"What do you feed this cat a side of beef a day?"

"Oh come on Wong it's just a kitten. I'm you can handle the weight. Come along Harry we are going to travel to Kamar-Taj. Now Magic is done differently here than what regular wizards can do with wands." Strange slipped on his sling ring and opened the portal to Kamar-Taj. He knew he could have used the connecting doors but where was the fun in that?
