Calemine Stain stood at the edge of the acadamy grounds looking into the forest. She had heard of Sammual's betrayal, everyone had. He was a disgrace, a traitor, a murderer, the enemy. And she, she cared for him still. She didn't want to beleive that her mentor was capable of such atrocities, but knew for sure that he was. "The book of Midnight Dust", she whispered to herself, "I knew, and I couldn't stop him...help him..." She felt like crying, breaking down and giving up, yet looking out into the woods knowing he was out there still made her stand up tall and have the patiance to wait.
Sammual Rhester walked down the tunnel beneath the earth. The air was cold and damp, smelling of must. His black cloak flowed gently behind him as he continued down the tunnel his elongated shadow thrown against the earth walls by the torches. He carried the Book of Midnight Dust close to him, it was all he had left..."At least for now", he thought.
Slowly he reached the end of the tunnel and the large double doors were gold and carved with incantations. He raised a pale hand and waved it in the strangest motions. The double doors opened wide and he entered the throne room of Milik the King of Anarchy. The atmosphere was colder than before and it stung his lungs and pricked at his skin. Sammual's dark hazel eyes rested upon the large figure sitting on the magnificent throne looming over the entire room. Black and gold tapestries and curtains hung from the walls and treausre of all sorts were scattered about the area. Sammual desecended to one knee and bowed his head.
The figure before did not speak and did not move, but the young mage understood what was needed of him. Looking up respectfully Sammual nodded his head and stood. The side chamber door opened and Jakinon, the once servant of Princess Tosia, entered a change had taken place within him and he wore the robes of Anarchy. Sammual Rhester understood him to be his new apprentice.
Master Rhester and pupil Jakinon exited the throne room with a bow and the doors closed slowly behind them. The two walked into the tunnel heading for the surface.
