Off to Join the Wizards (19/07/21) (2 chapters)
"What the book had said to him earlier was much more interesting: Monstrox used to be impatient when he was training to be evil. The greatest threat to Knighton, the older evil he had heard so much about, used to be like him in some way. It was an interesting thought. Just how impatient did Monstrox use to be? What kind of things did he like? Was he gifted or did he fight for his power? Was he an avid studier or a more practical learner? …What caused him to go bad in the first place?
"Just who was Monstrox?"

Over 100 years ago, the newest member of the Wizards' Council enters the Golden Castle for the first time. It turns out he didn't quite know what he was getting himself into.
