Kaecillius teleported in front of Ron's building, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mix of nervousness and determination. He took a deep breath, wondering how he would approach Ron and ask to become his follower. The sleek, modern architecture of the building seemed to loom over him, casting long shadows in the fading light of day.
As he entered the building,
he was greeted by the receptionist, who looked up from her desk with a polite smile. "Can I help you?" she asked, her voice friendly.
Kaecillius hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I'm here to see Mr.Ron. Please tell him Kaecillius is here to discuss a matter of great importance."
The receptionist nodded, her fingers flying across her keyboard as she made the announcement.
"One moment, please."

Meanwhile
Ron was lounging on his couch, watching his favorite show, Galactic Odyssey. The epic space battles and intergalactic politics were just what he needed to unwind after a long day. Red Queen popped up on his holographic screen, her expression efficient.
"Sir, Kaecillius is visiting you, sir."
Ron was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Wow, he seems to be knocking on my door, not the House of Dormammu's. How quaint."
Red Queen rolled her eyes, her tone dry. "Sir, it's just a wise decision. Open your cosmic sense once in a while and don't be surprised."
Ron chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement.
"And where's the fun in that?"
Red Queen rolled her eyes and said.
"Affirmative, sir. I'll let him in."
******************
A knock on the door followed,
Ron called out, "Kaecillius, come in."
The door slid open
Kaecillius entered, bowing low.
"I would like to be your follower, O Great One, O Supreme Being."
Ron's eyes narrowed, his interest piqued.
"And what's the return on that, Kaecillius? What would you give me in return?"
He leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, his eyes fixed intently on Kaecillius.
Kaecillius's voice was steady. "My total loyalty, my soul."
Ron raised an eyebrow
his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh, I can take your soul to be exact. I can turn you into a living puppet with a blink of an eye. But what gives you the courage to betray the Ancient One?"
Kaecillius hesitated before speaking. "The Ancient One is not good, it seems. He uses dark energy to become immortal. I saw him, and he wasn't sharing his power with us to become powerful."
Ron's eyes gleamed with amusement. "So, you betrayed him for power, no?
Kaecillius!
you also want immortality, right?"
As Ron glared at him, Kaecillius felt like a lamb being stared down by a beast. His body shuddered with fear, and he couldn't help but shake.
Ron chuckled, his expression unreadable. "Okay, I would accept you as my follower.
But I would ask a question:
why not Dormammu, but you came for me?"
Kaecillius's voice was barely above a whisper. "Indeed, I'm an ambitious man
but I'm not being who can sacrifice everything, even my home world."
Ron's eyes widened in surprise, his thinking dripping with sarcasm. "Hmm, maybe Dormammu was just influenced by the blackening of Kaecillius. Well, never mind that."
Kaecillius frowned, his expression respectful.
"Your Highness, O Great One, just give me some task, and I would show you how useful I am. I'm ambitious, but I would like to get what I deserve."
Ron smiled, his thoughts racing. Maybe Kaecillius's character had changed. He didn't know, but he was willing to find out.
"Go back to Kamar-Taj first, and I would summon you," Ron said, his tone dismissive.
Kaecillius opened a portal and bowed. "Yes, Your Highness."
As Kaecillius disappeared
***************
Ron called out, "Come out, Ancient One."
Ron chuckled, his expression sarcastic.
"Why would you not prevent Kaecillius from following me, Acient One?"
The Ancient One appeared smile on his face. "It's better to become your follower, Your Highness, than for Dormammu. And I know you know that too."
The Ancient One bowed, his expression respectful. "I would take my leave, Your Highness."
As the Ancient One disappeared, Ron sat back and continued watching his favorite,
Galactic Odyssey, his thoughts racing with the implications of Kaecillius's visit. He smiled to himself, wondering what other surprises lay in store for him.
