The 'Master-Apprentice'-Type Relationship

[alt_moderator]

Alternity dealt with themes of education - formal, informal, and via one-to-one tutelage. Which makes terrific sense when you're writing a story that encompasses the span of schooling for its young protagonists. But in Alternity, the scholarship relationships outside of the classroom offered opportunities for characters to work side by side - and often, secretly at cross-purposes.

Through the magic of my phenomenal alt-moderator powers, I have the pleasure of being able to introduce to this thread some very special guests. These individuals forged deep, close connections with each other in either actual or virtual master-apprentice relationships.

We invite you to ask any questions you may have - about their training, about their relationship, about their suspicions, about how their training prepared them for the fights they eventually fought, or lessons they learned that they would pass on - whatever you want to know! Time and space are immaterial here; the individuals who are participating are free to answer in whatever way they see fit, depending on what's called for in your questions.

War wounds are no one's fault. I assign you no more blame than Fu or Frank or anyone else not in the corridor fighting with me against the thugs desecrating our sacred halls.

If I'd had any sort of idea what I was really betraying, I would never have told you about Sarah.

You pointed my broom at my flight path in that conversation before the Third Task. I will be ever grateful for that.

Still, I regret it.

As to Sarah - well, you would have made my life easier for a few months if you hadn't told me. Only, harder, too, because knowing about her helped me make the leap, when I got there.

And you did most of the rest yourself. I'm just glad you were around to do it.
