"Bring the second thing you sense here? The item which you say calls to you like a supernova and you want it here?" The look that Amora gave Sif almost seemed to ask if she really was serious about the request. Yes, they were in the middle of nowhere, but should anything bad happen, the sorceress preferred to survive and live to an incredibly old age rather than being burnt to a crisp.
"I'll allow us to look into Asgard. Depending on what we see, I'll decide if we can bring here whatever it is we find. Perhaps, gods willing, it will be helpful. But we do it outside." She could only hope that doing this wouldn't turn everything into a raging inferno. As for Thor, she was well aware of what the thunder god was like when it came to stubbornness. He was quite set in his ways, though she would have loved to see Sif hand him his ass with a broken mop. It was probably a glorious thing to watch.
Leading the way outside, Amora once more assumed her usual appearance, pausing a moment from a bit of lightheadedness. She was surprised at being affected by the changes, but then again, this was the first time Amora had changed so many times in one day. Normally, her Jotun side barely came out, and it was something she never wanted to fully embrace. Hiking a bit of a distance from her home, the sorceress went about trying to find the second power that Sif had mentioned in Asgard. Opening a large scrying window, Amora sought out anything remotely similar to what the stone was throwing off in terms of magic, which actually not a hard thing to do since there was only one thing remotely like it in all of Asgard. An image of a young woman walking came into being. She looked rather quiet and reserved, though rather pretty in what appeared to be a mortal fashion. "I take it this is the other power? Do you, or rather, does the stone know her? Could she be another refugee? And would you like her brought here?" She didn't seem to be too dangerous looking. But looks can be deceiving.

“Would you rather it stay there and possibly hurt someone? At least here no one would get hurt.” She stated because Amora would take off if her life was in danger running was what the blonde was good at doing among other things. But she wasn’t going to go into that right now. “You never know it could be.” even though they were similar didn’t mean they were the same and this other power could act totally different than how she acted.
“Fine.” Sif replied before following Amora outside into the snow and for once she was happy the cold didn’t bother her and was nice and toasty warm. Guess being a walking magic inferno did have it’s upside to things. So she didn’t really have to worry about being cold anymore. Sif followed Amora to wherever she thought would be best to look for this thing without saying a word lost in her own thoughts.
“You can’t see it?” Sif asked looking away from the image of the young blonde woman. “Upon her head sits a horned crown of fire and light.” She said in case Amora couldn’t see it because she wasn’t sure if she actually could or if it was the stone’s doing. Because no one else around the woman seemed to notice it like they couldn’t see it which they probably couldn’t. “No I don’t know it nor the stone and most likely a refugee. If you could. I would like to know something about this thing she might be the only person who’s left alive that could have any answers.” At this point she’d welcome any information no matter how little it was.

Sif had a point. Here, no one would likely get hurt. Well, no one they truly cared about, at least. Perhaps it would be a good thing to wipe out a few of her distant relatives if things got bad.
"See what?" Amora asked, looking at the woman. As far as she could tell there was no crown on the woman's head. At least... if she concentrated hard, Amora could just just barely make out a haze at her hairline which became more apparent if she looked at it indirectly. The effort strained her abilities more than she had expected, as if whatever it was actively fought her vision. "Well, she's wearing something and it is indeed powerful." Why was it that all powerful and old things appeared to be harmless, sweet looking harmless people or devices?
Rather than wasting time asking Sif more questions and risking the woman sensing them, Amora simply teleported her to them, conjuring up a warm cloak to give to her once she arrives. "Hello, dear. I'm sure you're wondering why you're suddenly in the frozen north, so to speak. We have a few questions for you. Just cooperate and answer them and everything will be fine."

Dani watched what was going on with the other people. These guys were crazy like really crazy but she really wasn’t the one to talk her life stopped being normal for the last three years give or take. One strange thing after another happened to her and she just had to deal with it or died. And she wasn’t ready to die anytime soon and thanks to the Angelus she wouldn’t die well not of old age at least. As long as she was the host to the Angelus she’d never age and could live forever.
Shaking her head she turned to head to this hall everyone was being lead to until she disappeared. It took her a moment to realize she wasn’t on Asgard anymore. But she was some place really fucking cold! She wrapped her arms around herself shivering trying to stay warm she was about to fix that problem when a tall blonde woman gave her a cloak to keep herself warm. “Like what?” she asked looking at Sif rather than Amora. So much for having a normal life again….She sighed she should just give up trying to be normal.

"Well, as you can see, my friend is smoldering just a tad," Amora half joked as she gestured towards Sif who was making the snow steam. "She was given a necklace by one of the other refugees it seems. She then turned into that. She also says that you, or whatever you seem to be wearing, is calling to her." The sorceress' eyes immediately glance to the top of the woman's head. That odd haze was still present.
With a wave of her hand, a lovely little gazebo, complete with comfortable, and fire-proof, seating arrangements, fire pit, and a few goblets of hot mulled cider, appeared. Taking the young woman by the arm, Amora led her over to it. My name is Amora, by the way. I'm one of the best sorceresses in all of Asgard. My fiery friend is Sif, one of the best warriors in Asgard. Who might you be, darling?" It was a bit of pleasantry, but it also was in order to show the girl just exactly who she was dealing with.
"The power that has taken a liking to Sif is quite old and rather insistent on telling her what to do. I don't suppose the... crown, I'm guessing, which is persistently and effectively avoiding my gaze is of the same quality, is it? If so, please enlighten us on its nature and how to control it, otherwise dear Sif will stay here, and that is not something either of us would like."

“I can see that.” Dani said as she held the cloak tighter around her because she wasn’t at all ready for the cold and she was pretty sure her feet were going numb while standing in this place chitchatting with these women. She didn’t say anything at first but she was thinking “Not so much calling as being aware of.” She said looking to Amora before rolling her eyes upward trying to figure out what the tall blonde woman was trying to see.
“Danielle Baptiste but I’d prefer if you’d just call me Dani. The light of creation.” It was technically true she was and will forever be apart of the Angelus even after she died at whatever point in time that would be. She realized her life could end any second when she had the Witchblade and even shorter now that she had the Angelus.
“Will power and the ability to ignore it. That’s the best I can offer because in the end we are all slaves to them.” She pulled out a piece of paper it was very old but still in good shape. She unfolded it to show 13 icons arranged a certain way “The closer to the middle the older and more powerful they are.” She pointed to a icon near the bottom that looked like a flame “This is the ember stone what Sif now owns. I’ve owned two in my lifetime and never by choice. The first was this one.” She pointed to the middle one “It’s the Witchblade or rather the balance between light and dark.” She pointed to what looked like a triangle with wings “This is the Angelus the mother to the Witchblade and I suppose you could say the mother to everything in the universe. Her birth created life in the universe.” She wondered how much they'd actually believe "When all 13 are brought together the universe will be destroyed." that was actually about to happen but the world ended first she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

Frowning, Amora changed Danielle's clothing to something more winter appropriate. She had forgotten how cold Midgardians could get. "Old, powerful, sentient artifacts that are aware of each other. This just keeps getting better and better," she muttered to herself as she sat in the gazebo. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when Dani named herself the light of creation. Apparently cockiness came with the artifacts as well.
Amora studied the map, trying to decipher the other symbols. The one at the bottom was akin to the Patriarchal cross in Christianity and, if the paper dealt with the balance of things in all of creation, the hammer-like symbol opposite the Ember Stone could easily refer to primordial cold. "Muspelheim and Niflheim." Her finger then traced the symbol between the two. Infinity. Endless void. Chaos. "Ginnungagap." Every creation story started with darkness and a void from which all things sprang forth. This piece of paper was a blueprint for creation. Life and death. Order and chaos. Fire and ice. Light and dark. The symbols on the outer edge, she had no idea about, save for the one on the far right, in the shape of a spearhead. It was a guess, but with the apparent Judeo-Christian overtones, it likely represented the infamous Spear of Destiny.
Amora sat back with a chuckle. "It isn't every day that you look upon the face of creation. You wield the Angelus. You have something that existed before everything. We were always taught that the void existed before all things, between fire and ice. And from that void came life. One never questioned how the void was made." Did Amora truly believe all of this? It was hard to say. Magic always explained much, but she had never been of the mind to sat that one religion, one system of belief was correct, and she was not about to say this was the end all be all of creations.
"Do you know where the other artifacts are? Is Asgard in danger if there are just two in proximity to each other? The Ember Stone and the Angelus?" She hoped not, as they both seemed to be in the same section of the map. But then again, looks could be deceiving.

“It’s not just us being aware of each other it’s everyone else too. Some human’s know about them demon’s too if they can’t use the artifact themselves they’ll want to control the current user.” She only really felt that when she had the Witchblade but that didn’t mean it couldn’t be true for the others as well.
Dani watched Amora come up with her own names for them she was right in a way they were what she pointed out but not really realms. “Each one is connected to the other in some way.” now that she was thinking about and looking at them in a different way they were things all around them or inside them. It was kind of weird when she thought about it.
“In a way that is true like so many other women that the Angelus chose for a host we all become apart of the Angelus even after death. The Void or rather the Darkness that was what was before everything. It didn’t enjoy the Angelus being born and taking everything from it.” she pointed to the icon across from the Angelus. “They’ve been locked in endless battle since time began the only time they stopped that battle was when the came together to create the Witchblade.” Hopefully Amora understood what she meant by that because she really didn’t want to explain where babies came from.
“The Curator was in the middle of ripping the artifacts out of their hosts he had planned on destroying the universe so he could remake it. But those robots attacked I don’t know if the people that owned the artifacts died or they regained them and went into hiding. I haven’t seen any of them.” She thought on the other question "Not unless something is started between us a fight for some reason but like I said before others know of the artifacts and would seek them out."

Sif decided to keep quiet while they talked mostly lost in her own thoughts over what her life was going to be like now that she had this Ember Stone as it was called. One thing she did find strange in all of this was that Amora didn’t seem like she was plotting anything that had to do with either the stone or the Angelus. Maybe this Aldrif had more of an impact on her then Sif had first thought. It would actually explain why Amora was going out of her way to help her when she didn’t have to even if it was to save Asgard.
She did have will power to spare she just had to work on ignoring the annoying little voice. Another thing that bothered her and probably will for a long time was that she was now one of 13 that could destroy the universe. “I wonder if the Ember Stone rivals the power of Surtr?” She knew the demon was very powerful but she didn’t even know the full power of the stone and something told her she just scratched the surface of this things power. She fell silent again when they were told the universe nearly ended but was stopped by Ultron.

"It seems that everything gets jealous or filled with hate when it is confronted with its opposite. The dark hates the light. The bad hates the good, and so on and so on. It's a cycle that does not end. It's also not unheard of for two enemies to come together briefly and make an item of balance. I can only imagine what that night was like." Yes, Amora knew exactly what Dani was talking about when it came to that sort of creation. Being the child of a fertility god meant that she was well versed in that sort of thing.
Amora was actually surprised by what Dani said. Ultron had actually done something good? He stopped the universe from ending? That was a bit surprising, at least to her. She wondered if they even knew what they had prevented? Probably not. Robots tended not to believe in things like the supernatural and magic. As for Sif having others being attracted to her and the stone, that would be something else to let Aldrif know about. No demon, at least not the ones she knew about, had been able to breach the walls of Asgard. But then again, they usually only dealt with enemies of the Nordic variety.
"You want to go up against Surtr?" she asked Sif, giving her an odd, 'are you crazy?', look. She had no idea if such a fight would be possible or who would come out on top. If the cold of Niflheim couldn't stop Sif, then maybe it was possible for her to be more powerful than Surtr. Amora looked back at Dani. "What exactly is Sif capable of, now that she has the stone? What are its limits, and should she test them out before doing something as crazed as going up against a fire demon?"

“Or was born to hate their opposite and the only way to deal with it is to war with the other until one of them is destroyed. I remember that night even though it was long before I was born. Ever since gaining the Angelus I can remember doing things yet I’ve never actually did them myself.” She said thinking on something a moment before going on “I remember living in a temple in South America I have favorite hair brush there. But I’ve never actually been to South America let alone that temple.” She looked away from staring off into the nothingness.
Dani could hear the Angelus whispering to her they weren’t alone and whatever it was was making the Angelus very angry. Deciding the best way to fix this problem would be to deal with it. She stood up from where she had been sitting took a step forward her clothing shifted into pink and gold armor with gold horns coming out of her forehead. Her yellow on black eyes looked back at the women that were still sitting the yellow irises glowed. “Like I said I don’t have all the answers I wish that I did. But I don’t like everyone else Sif will have to figure it out on her own. One thing I can tell you is that isn’t her final forum she has one that’s much better then that.” she said as she held her hand out over the fire which began to dance around her fingers.
After a few moments fire took shape of a golden spear one that she suddenly rammed half of it into the roof and was rewarded with a scream of pain. She held onto the spear as the thing struggled to get away instead she used her strength to pull the thing through the roof. For a brief moment she thought it was one of her warriors but then she realized it wasn’t. “Abomination. Tell me who created you?” she said as she pinned the winged woman to the ground. “The Queen of Angels!” The women hollered out. The Angelus pulled the spear out of the woman who was trying to crawl out of small building before she could get two feet Angelus opened her mouth and unleashed a powerful flame that engulfed the woman burning her until there was nothing left but a black smudge.

Sif shrugged “It could be fun besides what difference does it make if I do or not? It’s like not you’d lose any sleep if I died. Hel you’d probably laugh and call me some name for being stupid.” she gave Amora a sideways look before looking at Dani suddenly change that must be the Angelus that she had been talking about. Very angelic looking indeed but what got her thinking again was that she said that Sif could change again but she didn’t say into what. What in the ten realms could she turn into? Something related to fire most likely but that was still a long list of things.
She was again pulled from her thoughts when the fire had taken shape of a spear which was then sent into the roof impaling something or rather someone she realized from the screams of pain. It turned out to be another angel but not as armored like Dani was she didn’t look to happy with the angel woman. Then murdered her in a blaze of fire well they were sort or related weren’t they? Now she wondered what was going to happen Dani didn’t look to happy after learning who created that woman she had just killed.

"Only you would consider starting a fight with Surtr fun. You're more like Thor than you care to admit, Sif. But, you're right. Feel free to go get yourself killed. That just means more thunder god for me in the end.Say hello to Hela for me when you see her," Amora smirked.
Sif had a final form? Amora was still taking in that information along with Dani's transformation when they were attacked. Well, when Dani attacked the spy. Her new form was both beautiful and terrible, something akin to a terrible bird of prey. Quite glorious and dreadful. Amora hadn't even sensed the intruder which seemed impossible as it had been eavesdropping on their conversation while seated the her construct. She should have felt something, but there had been no warning. From the initial attack to the final execution of the spy, it had only been a minute. Perhaps two, if she were feeling generous.
"That..... that was incredible. How did you sense that thing? How did it get to be here? What is happening?" she asked, looking down at the scorch marks. Up until now, Amora had been one of the most powerful sorcerers in the nine realms. Now she felt like she had as a child, first starting out under Karnilla's tutelage. She glanced back and forth between Sif and Dani. If these two forms were similar, then wouldn't that mean Sif could, with time, look more normal? Perhaps, she could teach her.
"How do you change? With sheer will power and thought? Is this your final form or do you have another?" she asked, placing a hand lightly on a shoulder. She was warm, despite wearing less now than a moment ago. Oh, how Amora wished to study her and the magic that surrounded all of this. The amount of power here almost felt like a siren song to her. "Perhaps Sif can learn from you how to change."

After what happened to the spy a group showed up more angel like people they each had sliver armor and golden skin and one woman who was different than the others she was no angel. But she did have armor that fully covered her body except her head and demonic wings “Dani we have…” the dark haired woman trailed off when she saw Sif “Oh what the hell is that?!?” Sara knew what the Ember Stone was she just didn’t like the idea that it had found a new host so soon.
The angels bowed down to Dani “Mistress she forced us to take her to the Kingdom of Light…she threatened to put the Witchblade where it doesn’t belong if we did not do it.” One of the females spoke up when Dani was most likely wondering why they were with Sara. They had hoped the Angelus would forgive them for doing such a thing when no one outside the warriors and the Angelus herself were allowed in the Kingdom of Light. “Anyways the reason we’re here is some angel chick is attacking your people and she’s calling you out. And something about being in the tenth realm waiting for you? I don’t know what that means but we should probably go.” Sara told her.

“The only way you’ll get Thor is if your Jane Foster and no matter how hard you pretend to be her he’ll know you aren’t.” She replied letting her know that she wasn’t even on Thor’s radar when it came to being lovers. “As I said before I’m not in love with him anymore.” She was starting to think Amora was getting forgetful in her old age.
Annnnd another one appeared with a group of angel people that looked and acted differently than the one who had just be roasted alive. The most powerful one of the artifacts didn’t look like a whole lot did it? But that probably was on purpose don’t look threatening and you’ll be able to attack without warning. However the woman didn’t seem all that thrilled to see Sif with the artifact by the way she acted once she saw her sitting there.
