The world is changing, magical forces are stirring, and a war is on its way.
Some people panic. I, on the other hand, am having a splendid time.
It's always fascinating to watch a system collapse when you know you'll still be standing at the end.
So I took on an apprentice. Alci.
He has no idea what awaits him, but he'll learn.
Perhaps he'll even be useful. Perhaps he'll even survive.
But let's be clear: I'm not doing this for him.
I'm doing it for the others, the ones who don't stand a chance without him.
As for me...
I'm already prepared for the final act.
