"Wait, where are we going exactly?" I ask as we walk past some displayed ancient and mystical artefacts.

"To where it all began," Doctor Strange answers.

"I don't understand a bit but okay." At that very moment, a thought strikes me. "Are we going to Kamar-Taj?" I blurt out.

The doctor stops his track and turns to my direction. "How did you know?"

"A simple guess." I shrug like there's nothing to be surprised about. "So, we're going back to Nepal?" I ask again.

"Indeed." He nods as we continue towards the stairs.

"Oh, Nepal. In Kathmandu right? The Kamar-Taj?" I ask for his confirmation.

"Where did you get that?" he asks and comes to a halt again.

"Where did I get what?" I ask. Acting dumb and stop immediately before crashing into Doctor Strange.

"The information. About Kamar-Taj. I didn't mention about going there in the first place." He eyes me with a pair of sharp eyes. 

"I... kinda read it. Somewhere." I nervously reply while averting his eye contact.

"I guess you have too many secrets," the sorcerer describes me. "It needs to be unveiled as soon as possible," he adds and we continue again by descending the stairs.

"So, you're saying that you want to know all about my secrets? Even it is personal?" I questioning him while following his footsteps.

"All of your secrets that you were hiding from me, minus your personals." he corrects me.

"Okay, I guess it's fine." I gave him a shrug.

'What are you thinking master?!' roars a tiny voice.

"I'm not thinking anything," I whisper back.

'No, you are thinking about something. You are thinking so rapidly it makes me confuse. And I had already known all your plans.' Phoenix concludes.

"Okay, you got me. I was thinking about which secrets should I tell him. I'm not gonna tell him about the confidential stuff. Only the... not so confidential," I reply.

Phoenix sighs. 'I trusted you then, Master. I did warn you so you have to embrace the consequences.'

"Thanks, Phoenix." I thank him for his opinion.

'A little advice from me, do not think about him okay?' Phoenix chuckles.

After he mentioned 'him' my face suddenly goes hot a bit. I blush as I thought about my old crush. "PHOENIX!!!" I scream in embarrassment while stopping my track. His way of chuckling seems to be teasing me.

The thought of him is getting bigger as my old imagination floods in. 'Oh my god!' I bury my face into my palms. "Why Phoenix, why?"

'Relax. Think about me, Morufu and Niel. I'm sure it will be okay,' Phoenix suggests.

"If you make me think about 'him' one more time, I'm going to tell Z about this." crossing my arms I began to sulk.

'Awww, I'm sorry. It won't be a second time I promise.' Phoenix apologize.

"You better," I continue.

"Who are you talking to?" Doctor Strange came to me, asking.

"Oh, oh, sorry for the delay Doctor Strange, I mean Sensei, I mean Master-" I stutter after I realize he was still leading me.

"Are you okay? You seem to have a serious conversation with someone," he observes by looking at my body language.

"Y-Yeah, I've been talking to Phoenix about something very serious I have forgotten I should be following you haha," I laugh a little.
