CHAPTER THIRTEEN

My eyes widened in shock and my jaw fell open. “You can’t be serious.”

“You mean you know who Luke Michaels is?” said Bart. “I thought you were ignorant of the sorcerer world.”

I gulped. “Uh, Dad told me about the Sorcerer Parliament once, including who Luke Michaels is. I’m still not very familiar with him, of course, but I know that he’s the oldest and longest serving member of the Sorcerer Parliament.”

“Well, you’re right about that,” said Bart, nodding. “He’s also a powerful sorcerer in his own right. Some people think he could be the next Supreme Sorcerer, though he’s never shown any interest in that title as far as I know.”

“Supreme Sorcerer?” I said. “What’s that?”

“You mean you’ve never heard of the Supreme Sorcerer?” said Bart. “Odd. I thought the Hunter taught you about the Six Steps.”

“He did,” I said. “But none of the Steps are called Supreme Sorcerer.”

“That’s because the title of Supreme Sorcerer isn’t something everyone can attain,” said Bart. “It’s a once in a generation—maybe even less than that—title granted only to sorcerers of the most powerful abilities. There is only ever one Supreme Sorcerer at any one time, because the title is bestowed upon the Supreme Sorcerer by the Origin itself. And anyone arrogant enough to take the title for themselves will usually end up getting killed in horrible ways.”

I grimaced. “Well, who is the current Supreme Sorcerer, then?”

“There isn’t one,” said Bart, shaking his head. “The last Supreme Sorcerer died thirty years ago, killed by a Vampire Lord. The Origin has yet to see fit to grant that title to a deserving candidate.”

“How long does it normally take for the Origin to choose a new Supreme Sorcerer?” I said.

“No one knows,” said Bart with a shrug. “The Origin moves on its own schedule. In some points of history, the next Supreme Sorcerer has been chosen almost immediately after the death of the previous one. At other times, a full century passed before the Origin chose the next one. It is pretty much impossible to predict, but thankfully the Sorcerer Parliament doesn’t need the Supreme Sorcerer to function.”

“Then what’s the point of having a Supreme Sorcerer in the first place?” I said, tilting my head to the side.

“The Supreme Sorcerer is supposed to delve into the secrets of the Origin and pass its knowledge on to the new generations of sorcerers in order to make sure that the Origin’s knowledge is not lost,” said Bart. “The Supreme Sorcerer has also, throughout history, defended the sorcerer community and Earth in general from supernatural threats which even Master Sorcerers have been unable to defeat.”

“What kind of threat is so powerful that it needs a Supreme Sorcerer to deal with?”

“You don’t want to know,” said Bart with a shudder. “Anyway, that’s irrelevant to what I’m trying to tell you. The point is that Luke Michaels appears to be the one trying to engineer a war between the sorcerers and the vampires.”

“But why would he do that?” I said.
