[3rd POV]
Klaus and Elijah had soon left, after grabbing the books that she had suggested. They were in a hurry for obvious reasons, so Wanda did not say a word about the fact that they did not even say thank you or anything.
She wasn't about to blame them from running off so that they could ensure the safety of their daughter/niece. She did make sure to tell them that once Hope started to show off signs of her power coming into form, they needed to revisit her with the child so that she could suggest proper methods of training her to control said power.
Hope was a godlike entity in The Vampire Diaries universe. She was probably top five strongest, and was stronger than the likes of Bonnie Bennett, Freya Mikaelson, and many others. And she had greater potential than any other entity in that universe.
She would inevitably become stronger than the likes of Qetsiyah, the Hollow, and the other strong witches in the world. It was quite literally inevitable due to her combination of species, and the fact that she is the firstborn daughter of a Mikaelson, granting her even more power.
Once she activated all three of her sides and become the true Tribrid, she would become even stronger than the members of her own family. Not only that, but she would be FAR more difficult to kill, since only the Red Oak Tree can lead to her death, and that would be utterly destroyed the moment that she is "Born".
Hope would also have more training chances than any other, more ways to grow, and would grow stronger with age. And since she grew stronger the older she got thanks to her Original side, it was very likely that that same boost in power would affect her magical and werewolf sides as well.
Basically, Hope was overpowered in her own universe.
The only ones that were stronger than her were literal Gods, and Qetsiyah, and the latter is just because she is a lot older, and has WAY more experience than Hope does. Creating immortality and a literal dimension would make it pretty clear that she is not a normal witch.
Wanda hoped to see Hope in her shop eventually, since she found the girl to be pretty likeable in the show that she starred primarily in, Legacies. She was not at all a fan of her love interest Landon, but she was nice.
She liked Josie for Hope a lot more than Landon.
But after Klaus and Elijah had left, Wanda was doing her normal for the day. Selling her new books to her regulars, and letting in the Demigods from Camp Half Blood in the meanwhile. The kids had really liked her new books that she had written that helped specifically in the training of demigod powers.
She had made the books for them specifically, since she knew they would be needed it in the coming years.
With the war against Kronos, Gaia, Atlas, and all the other Titans, Primordials, and Gods that will be causing mountains of trouble for their people. She didn't want all of those innocent Demi-Gods to die, afterall.
Speaking of Gods, Wanda had not had a God customer in quite some time. At least...until now.
Wanda sipped on her tea, amusement swimming in her eyes as she watched the Goddess that had entered her store. The woman was tall, and radiated quite a powerful magical aura, not the strongest she had seen, not even close, but it was definitely far beyond most others.
Beyond Athena's.
That was magical power though, not overall power. In terms of overall power, Wanda was pretty sure that Athena was stronger than Hecate was, even if that was by a relatively small margin.
"Are you the one that Athena has spoken to me about? The woman with the largest collection of foreign magics in the world?" Hecate asked, as she looked at Wanda. Wanda could tell that she was trying her best to sense what her level of power was, but was utterly failing to sense...well, anything from her.
"I am, and you must be Hecate, Goddess - or Titaness - of Magic" Wanda responded with a small smile on her face. Hecate nodded slowly at her words, as she glanced around the room.
"That is I. This place, it is a pocket dimension, is it not?" Hecate asked, attempting to stretch her power out to figure out how her store worked, only to find that she was utterly incapable of sensing...well, anything about it.
"Sort of. It is more in line with being a pocket universe due to it's size, but it is similar" Wadna responded, not seeing any reason to hide it.
"...Athena did warn me that you are powerful beyond belief. She has also told me that you sell your books in return for trade, would you be willing to exchange books?"
"Hmm, matters what they are. Athena has provided me with quite a big collection of magical books of varying rarity" Wanda responded, as Hecate chuckled.
"Oh please, she may have a collection of books far surpassing mine, but that is normal books. Her collection cannot hope to compare to my own collection of magical books. A collection that I have taken the liberty of copying in its entirety" Hecate said in response.
Wanda chuckled as she snapped her finger. The magical section of the store revealing itself to the Goddess of Magic, as her eyes widened in surprise. She could tell just from a look that the magic books in the store were...incredible.
Insane.
They were some of the most advanced books she had ever seen, and that was just from glancing at the bookshelves full of books. She could literally feel the magical knowledge held deep inside of the books, and it was...incredible.
Far beyond what she had seen before. Beyond even her own collection.
"...I am beginning to think an exchange of my books to yours will not be enough" Hecate said blandly, as she knew just from a glance that they were worth far more than her own.
"If you give me permission to gaze into your collection I can find out" Wanda offered. Hecate nodded in response.
"Go ahead"
Hearing her confirmation, Wanda spread her senses into Hecate's universe and into her realm where she held her collection of magical books. Looking deep into the books, Wanda let out a hum as she scanned each and every single one of them.
She found that the books were pretty interesting. They mostly held knowledge on the Greek Magics that Hecate knew of or had created. But there was also plenty of magics from other pantheons as well, like Egyptian magics, Norse Magics, Roman Magics, Shinto Magics, and a few others.
It was very interesting. And while Hecate was correct in her assumption that the books were not as expensive as her own, Wanda found that the books were interesting enough to make up the difference in her mind.
There was also more of them, even if they were not as good. It was more of a quantity over quality sort of thing than anything, and that made up the difference in her mind as well.
"Hmm, should be good enough for what you want. I don't really see a reason to say no to the exchange. The difference in price is there, sure, but it is not big enough to really be much of an issue to me" Wanda replied with a shrug, as she snapped her finger again.
"I see...then may we do the exchange?"
"Sure" Wanda responded, as she reached down and picked up a book bag. Instantly being filled with a copy of every magical book in her collection, except for a couple that were better off not known to anyone but herself.
Handing it over, Hecate smiled happily as she summoned her own bag. It wasn't as small as Wanda's, but it was still a lot less than the collection was. It was around double the size of the bag that Wanda had handed over.
Gripping the bag, Wanda smiled, pleased as every book was inside.
"Well then, I hope you enjoy your new books, Hecate. Ah, and do come back if you find any new and interesting books that you believe might catch my eye" Wanda said, as Hecate gave her a short nod, before turning and walking off swiftly, excitement in her eyes.
She really wanted to learn and master these new magics. Her domain made her VERY excited for the prospect of growing more powerful.
Watching as Hecate left, Wanda chuckled, one thought on her mind as another customer came in after Hecate had left, and that was...
'I wonder what the kids are up to?'
