“Why? Because you’re my apprentice! That’s why.”
Aahz seemed genuinely angry. “We made a deal, remember? You help me against Isstvan and I teach you magik. Well, you did your part and now I’m going to do mine. I’m going to teach you magik if it kills you . .. or me, which is more probable!”
“Yes, Aahz!” I agreed hastily.
“Besides,” he mumbled, taking another drink. “I like you.”
“Excuse me?” I said. “I didn’t quite hear that.”
“Then pay attention!” Aahz barked. “I said drink your wine, and give some to that stupid dragon of yours. I will allow you one… count it, one… night of celebration. Then bright and early tomorrow, we start working in earnest.”
“Yes, Aahz,” I saidobediently.
“And kid,” Aahz grinned, “don’t worry about it being boring. We don’t have to go looking for adventure. In our profession, it usually comes looking for us.”
I had an ugly feeling he was right.
