Thank you to everyone who has been reading so far! I am pleasantly surprised by how this is going here on Tapas. Thank you to all who subscribed, liked, or left comments. I'm not very good at replying in a meaningful way, but know that you have my absolute gratitude.
I've settled into a Monday and Thursday schedule for episodes. Naturally, I am only able to do this because this is material I've already long completed, but there is still quite a bit of backlog before I get to the current pages - this was Chapter 5, and as I write this I'm finalizing Chapter 16. If you're interested in reading ahead without waiting for episodes to come out on Tapas, please see thegiftsofdarkness.com.
Thank you once again for reading, and see you this coming Thursday with Chapter 6.
At 23 years old, Adrien is quite late to become a sorcerer's apprentice - but that's where his life has led him, and he intends to try his best. He travels far from home and to an isolated tower in the wilderness to meet his new mentor, the sorcerer Valerion.
The two strike an important connection: Valerion guides Adrien's chaotic personality with seemingly infinite kindness, and Adrien brings companionship and a long-forgotten joy to Valerion's lonely life. As their lives entwine, they begin to understand and accept who they are, and they learn to embrace the darkness that makes both true honesty and true love possible.
