SUMMARY: Drake Stone takes in a young girl in as his apprentice with an unknown history, and finds himself in the service of a heartless Morganian. Follow him as he and his apprentice fight for survival and to try and stop the Rising from happening.

A/N: Hello readers! Just a quick note to say I don't own anything but my own character Kristine. I'm going to set the scene, which will kind of be my prologue because I wrote the whole story but without an introduction/proper prologue. Problem being, once I finished the story I couldn't think of how to start the story off, so it still all makes sense and follows the film, I've just not wrote how Drake and Kristine met, which I may make as a one shot later on. IT DOES GET MORE EXCITING FROM HERE! Trust me, just bare with me while I tell you where we are up to in the film in chapter 1 and the background history to my character.

Drake Stone had always wanted an apprentice of his own, after his master abandoned him at such a young age, he wanted to prove that he was a better sorcerer and that he had accomplished something despite his master's leave of absence.

After one of his magic shows, Drake escapes the crowds by taking the back route at the back of the venue where he meets Kristine, who is currently homeless and busking off the streets from performing street magic. Drake takes a liking to the girl with bright blue streaks in her brunette hair and gothic clothing, and takes her in as his apprentice after giving her an encantus and a caster.

Over a couple of years, the two become best friends, and Drake discovers that she had foster parents who had ditched her as a teenager, which he could relate to with his master leaving. Kristine learns a lot of things as Drake's apprentice, and reads her encantus on a daily basis which adds to her skill and confidence as an apprentice.

Kristine is a fast learner and puts a lot of effort into her training as a sorcerer, and is most often at the receiving end of Drake's sarcastic comments, which she answers back most of the time, resulting in her having to write pages of the encantus out, making her annoyed at Drake all the more.

Chapter 1 starts, just after Horvath has tracked Drake down, and recruited him to help find the grimhold and release Morgana. Drake is now dreading telling his apprentice that he has been dragged into the service of a Morganian.

A/N: Not the best of prologues I no, but it's a bit of background history to the story so it makes sense when you read it. I am sorry I started my story like this, but I really couldn't think of a decent storyline for the beginning but what it lacks in prologue, it makes up doubled in the rest of the story with twists, and action, and car chases and magic, so enjoy!
