Meeting the Skeptic[]
Once she refused to teach Stephen Strange the Mystic Arts, the Ancient One retired to the Orb for a meeting with the Masters of the Sanctums: Daniel Drumm, Tina Minoru, and Sol Rama. The Ancient One was then approached by her disciple Karl Mordo, who convinced her to invite Strange to stay in Kamar-Taj, in order to make him an asset in their fight against the Zealots.[1]
Threats to the Universe[]
Months later, Wong and Karl Mordo showed to Stephen Strange how the Masters of the Mystic Arts use the Orb to monitor the shield generated by the three Sanctums, and how the shield prevent the Dark Dimension to invade the Earth.[1]
