"Frost Giants? Don't they live on another planet?"
"Earth is the hub of the Nine Realms in mythology, so Jotunheim must have a spatial passage leading to Earth. I just didn't expect locking Loki up to cause this." Luo Xia sighed helplessly.
It was a case of the best-laid plans going awry. He'd thought he could eliminate the danger ahead of time, but instead he'd brought another kind of alien down on them.
"What are you going to do about these Frost Giants, Master?" Sarah asked.
"We'll have to fight them, of course. But to win every battle, you need to know your enemy. I'm going to ask Loki exactly what these Frost Giants can do," Luo Xia replied.
That was also one of the reasons Luo Xia wanted to switch back to his own body. No matter how open-minded The Ancient One was, she probably wouldn't accept someone turning into a robot.
"I'm going to Kamar-Taj. I might be gone for a few days, so keep a close eye on the base and things here in New York," Luo Xia instructed.
"As you command, my master," Sarah replied respectfully.
Luo Xia opened a portal that showered sparks and once again arrived in the timeworn halls of Kamar-Taj.
As soon as he arrived, he heard a flurry of shouts. He turned to look and saw Kaecilius practicing martial arts with a group of apprentice sorcerers again.
Luo Xia was at a loss. Why did the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj like hand-to-hand combat so much? Maybe he should send them a reinforced battalion's worth of firepower and see if that changed their minds.
"Hey, Luo Xia. Long time no see," Kaecilius greeted him warmly.
"Yeah, I've been a little busy lately. By the way, where's Loki?" Luo Xia asked.
"Loki? Who's that?"
