《The Merchant of Death》The Asgardian Goddess of Death

Thor and Loki went to meet Odin after which Tony let the original story follow till Hela broke Mjolnir and he was stranded on Sakaar to be captured and fight as a gladiator.

"Jarvis, Use the Asgardian teleportation array sequence and send a message there."
[Using the ATAC, please record your message now]
[Listening…..]
"Remove the Eternal Flame from Odin's vault. Thor intends to complete it with Surtur's crown and unleash Ragnarok upon you. Love Tony."
[Message Recorded, Sending now]

Hela was sitting in the Asgardian throne when suddenly she detected a magical signal coming from Bifrost. She willed the signal to come to her as she was quite amused to receive a message from someone just after taking over Asgard.
As the message reached her, She used her magic and heard it.
Tony's voice started playing in the message and after the message had ended, Hela was shocked.
Who was this Tony that had the capability to connect with the Bifrost? Why did he help her? She was amused and a smile crept up on her lips as she motioned her hands and sent a reply of her own.
.
.
Tony was standing in front of a window in his room with both infinity stones revolving around him when he received a direct message from Hela. He suddenly broke into a smile after listening her reply and started walking towards his terrace. As he was climbing up the stairs, he started stripping of his normal cotton clothes and after completely stripping naked, his Endo-Sym Armor came out of nowhere and surrounded him to become a black shirt, black pant, with black boots and black overcoat.
His demeanor completely changed to that of a Tyrant by the time he stepped on the terrace.
Suddenly, A bright flash of light appeared in the sky and instantly, an extremely beautiful woman in black clothes was standing in front of Tony.
"Hela….." Said Tony softly as he saw the Asgardian Goddess of Death smiling at him.
"So, Tony Stark, The protector of earth...helping The Goddess of death against his own friend Thor? I don't understand…" Questioned Hela with the same bewitching smile.
Tony listened to her question and turned around without replying. He started walking inside of his house while Hela curiously followed him. As Tony reached his kitchen, he started cutting some vegetables and motioned her to sit at a nearby dining table before speaking.

"You just wanted to expand Asgard but Odin imprisoned you for that….Isn't that Hypocrisy? Like Odin Borson himself was known as Odin the Usurper….hahaha...The Usurper..The Destroyer...You know I researched about all these Gods of the Nine realms and not so surprisingly, I found a few things common between them...Can you tell me what is the most common?"
Hela listened to this interesting man in front of her who was to her surprise, talking logic with her. Even she thought how bullshit it was that her own father imprisoned her for things she wanted to do, which she learned from him in the first place. Her brother wanted to kill her just because her father had asked him to do so, but this man….Who could surprisingly use Magic, informed her about her brother's plan.
Tony was waiting for Hela's answer and when she noticed his gaze as she sat on the dining table, she said
"The common thing in all of them is that they want to become the King of All the Nine Realms...Just like me."
Tony immediately cracked a smile and replied
"BINGO! Every so called God who rules over the Nine Realms wishes to be the Ruler of all the Gods. Like, if we consider the amount of people they killed in the wars, they could easily overloads several planets with the dead bodies.
Heh, Do you know what your Brothers are doing right now?"
The more Tony talked, the more Hela got impressed by him. She thought that their minds work the same and when he asked her about her brothers, she just shrugged her shoulder as if to ask Tony to tell her.
"Thor has recruited Hulk and Valkyrie on Sakaar, and is planning to come here to defeat you. Loki will arrive a little later under the radar to use the Tesseract to teleport you straight in the heart of Ragnarok….I have already hacked into their plane and will know when and where they will arrive…."
Suddenly, the temperature of the room went down when Hela heard it and said with a raised eyebrow
"The Tesseract?"
Tony smiled at her confusion while he served the food on a plate and started walking up to her.
He placed the well cooked food in front of her and sat beside the Goddess of Death before continuing.

"Yes, The same Tesseract which was once in Odin's vault is actually with Loki...And you do know what's inside of it, right? It's The Space Stone, one of the Six Infinity Stones."
Hela was not happy to know about this as she never wished for her brothers death but now…They even planned to use the Tesseract to kill her? Like, They would rather destroy their planet, their home then let their elder sister rule over it?
She appeared to be thinking something when she took the fork and started eating what Tony made for her.
As soon as she took one bite, her pupils dilated and her mood immediately lifted up.
"This...What is this?" Asked Hela while taking another bite
"This is just a simple dish my mother use to cook for me before she was killed."
Tony watched with amusement as the woman who could destroy worlds was sitting in front of him, eating his dish with relish.
As she finished eating, Tony got up and went to the kitchen under her watchful and curious eyes and returned with some desert in his hands which he placed it in front of her.
"So you can't use the Bifrost bridge because Heimdall stole the Sword used to control the said bridge, right?" Said Tony as he was watching Hela eat the cake.
Hela smirked at Tony's question and said while gulping down the cream
"Heimdall can't hide from me forever. Sooner or later I will find him."
"I have a better way, Why not threaten to kill the Asgardians until he comes forwards under the burden of their deaths and presents you the sword himself?" Said Tony.
Hela finished the Cake and started to stare at Tony with a smile when he continued
"Of Course you shouldn't kill the civilians as you need to rule over them..They should respect you. But you can kill the prisoners, right? Heimdall will see you kill the prisoners with his All-Seeing eyes and will hear your demands with his All-Hearing ears. No one needs to know what's happening inside the Hela Castle."
Hela suddenly cracked into a muffled laughter when she heard Tony say 'Hela Castle'. One after another this guy was speaking things that Hela would definitely do...the things everyone else would curse her for.
After thinking a little while drinking a glass of water, Hela said
"What do you want? Betraying your friend to warn me about Surtur, Trying to help me to obtain the control over Bifrost….Just What do you want, Sorcerer?"
"What I want is pretty easy for you to give me. I need the Uru ore so I could have a good weapon and I want your help in acquiring and breaking the Tesseract so I can obtain the Space Stone inside of it. In exchange for all this, I will rebuild Asgard with the Repulsor tech...An arc-reactor made out of Uru ore...Just believe me that you will be extremely satisfied with the results."
"The Uru ore is fine, No big deal there but why will I give you the Space Stone?"
"Because you have no use of it. The primary and only known use of the Space Stone is teleportation which you can already do with the help of the Bifrost. It is also quite challenging to control the stone as it could teleport you to the end of the universe with a slight mistake but you will have a total control over Bifrost."
Tony started to put reasonable demands in front of Hela while he also presented tons and tons of benefits for her. He had completely submerged the Stones with their radiations which were inside of him and Hela couldn't detect them on Tony as he was an anomaly who was not from this Multiverse. The reason Odin detected them was because Tony had not suppressed the radiations which the stones were radiating day and night.
Hela continued to look at Tony with intense eyes and after what seemed like a century, she replied
"Come to Asgard, help me with my cause and I shall think about it" was the only thing The Asgardian Goddess of Death said before leaving Tony a silver compass.
"Well, This meeting was rather successful" Thought Tony as his eyes flashed yellow.

Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her.

Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)
