Stephen Strange was finally content with his life. Where he stood as a sorcerer and how he helped the world. He had a nice thing going for him. There were no villains to fight, no realities to save, no dimensions to visit. Everything was serenely calm and silent. Until, of course, Wong decides to change his life forever with something he never thought he would need. An apprentice. Samrah has lived in an orphanage her whole life. Always rejected by any family that had any interest in her. Why? Because she had something that scared people and she hated herself for that. But one day that all changes when a strange man shows up and adopts her. His name is even Strange, literally. On top of learning dangerous mystical powers, she has to tackle a new problem she's never experienced in her entire life. School. Oh, and not to mention love. Much to his dismay, Doctor Strange starts to feel an attachment toward his apprentice. One stronger than just mentorship. Strange doesn't think things can get any worse until he notices something about his apprentice. Something so dark not even the Master of the Mystic Arts can tackle alone. Especially when it might cost him everything he loves. Including Samrah...
