Decision to decisions are made and not bought,
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot,
I guess not.

"He's gone." Kaecillius said. "Even Strange has left you and surrendered to his power."

"We have to go after him!" I said.

"You can try. Dormammu has him now. He made the smart choice. The choice you should have made."

"I will never join you, Kaecillius. After everything you've said and done, why would I ever join you?" I asked.

"Because you have realised that I was right all along." He responded.

"You will never be right."

"One day, you will see that you should have joined me and taken the eternal life."

"I doubt that. Because Kaecillius, you've ran out of time." Strange came down from the dimension to behind the Zealots.

"What have you done?" Kaecillius asked.

"I made a bargain." Doctor Strange said.

"What is this?" His hand started to disintegrate.

"Well, it's everything you've ever wanted. Eternal life as part of the One. You're not gonna like it."

All of their bodies turned to dust as they got sucked away into the dark dimension.

"Yeah, you now, you really should have stoked the whole book because the warnings... the warnings come after the spells." Strange said. Me and Wong started to laugh.

"That's funny." Wong said. Strange put the sanctum back together and time started normally again.

"We did it." Wong said.

"Yes, we did it." Mordo scoffed. "By also violating he natural law."

"Look around you. It's over. You still think there will be no consequences, Strange? No price to pay. We broke our rules, just like her."

"Don't say that about-" I started to say.

"The bill comes due. Always!" He continued. "A reckoning. I will follow this path no longer." Mordo walked away. Simply walked away.

"Mordo-" I tried to follow him but Strange caught my arm.

"Let him go. He won't change." He told me.

"He's right. The fight is not worth it." Wong added. "We should go, the Sanctums need to be informed of the outcome."

"Okay." I agreed.

2 days later.

Me and Wong saw Strange but the Eye of Agamotto back onto the stand.

"Wise choose. You'll wear the Eye of Agamotto once you've mastered its powers. Until then bets not to walk the streets wearing an infinity stone."

"A what?"

"Does he really not know what an Infinity stone is?" I chuckled.

"You might have a gift for the mystic arts, but you still have much to learn. Word of the Ancient One's death will spread through the Multiverse. Earth has no Sorcerers Supreme to defend it. We must be ready."

"We'll be ready." Strange said.

"We will." I said back. "We have to be."

"Sam, remind me, why aren't you automatically the next Sorcerers Supreme?"
