Chapter One

The sun was high in the sky and birds were singing as I watched my apprentice, Caine, relentlessly attack his training partner. I smiled as the two friends seemed oblivious to the passing time and I didn't want to be the one to interrupt them.

"You aren't going to win Tom!" Caine yelled as he charged his friend again knocking Tom's weapon from his hand and cornering him.

I clapped as I walked from my hiding place, "Very good Caine, you're getting better."

He looked back at me smiling, "You really think so Fate?"

I laughed, "Of course, you'll have your powers under control in no time at this rate."

He turned back to Tom smirking triumphantly in an attempt to show that he was better than him. I shook my head as he did so and began to walk away only to hear the sound of him running to catch up.

"Where are we going now?" He asked curiously.

"We're going back to the castle where else would we go?" I asked him still smiling.

"Awe! Can't we go find someone else to spar with so I can test my necromancy powers?"

"Not today Caine, the sun's setting and the night will be upon us soon and I don't want you out after dark. You know this."

"But…"

"No buts."

"Fine."

I shook my head again but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard rustling in the bushes behind us.

"Fate what is it?"

"Nothing just an animal, let's hurry Caine dear."

I didn't want to tell him that we had someone following us; it was the last person I wanted around my apprentice because I knew he would corrupt him in some way. Desmond was not going to have the chance to take Caine away from me, even if I have to die to ensure it.
