High in the Himalayas, within the sacred sanctum of Kamar-Taj, where the air is thin and magic lies thick. Strange and Wong walked the corridors, but their steps halted. Through the doors drifted the hushed voices of the Ancient One, Mordo, and you—an archmage summoned on urgent business. Wong pulled Strange back, warning him not to meddle where he didn't belong, but curiosity won out. Strange quietly pushed past his mentor, leaning against the cold stone wall to eavesdrop on the secret council.
