A Sorcerer Rises

For the next few days, Jok only left his room to eat and give the Blues lessons, but his heart wasn’t in it. Lesora’s face kept appearing before him and his thoughts kept returning to the moment at which her essence had flowed into the mirror. He barely noticed that the Blues and, even more so, the Greens kept their distance from him as well as they could. He didn’t even notice that even Tevi was avoiding him because he hadn’t spoken to him since he had become an adept, anyway.

On the third day, Master Go summoned him.

The master let him wait. Jok watched as he sorted papers and books, cleaned a mirror and placed it back in its spot on the wall and fleetingly checked several other mirrors all while drinking a cup of tea. Finally, Master Go walked over to the table, braced his hands against it and said, “There is one thing you must know. ‘Should have, would have, could have’ do not exist for us sorcerers. We do what we must to make our mirrors strong and our spells powerful. You have the ability to become a good sorcerer. I saw that back then in your village. But our work is dangerous. It doesn’t forgive wandering thoughts or mistakes. If you cannot shut off your emotions, you are mirror fodder. You have the choice. It’s in your hands. Sorcerer or mirror. If you decide to be a sorcerer, be one completely and do your work properly. Currently, your work is teaching. You shall teach the Blues well. I will not tolerate any neglectfulness. Only properly trained students have enough energy to create decent mirrors. Or good spells. As for you, I expect you to come here at the first hour of every evening for the next few days for your own lessons. Now go.”

Jok didn’t dare say a word. He turned on his heel and left. His students awaited him.
