After reading many stories on Wattpad through the years, I finally managed to gather my courage to write my own little story.

Apprentice
/əˈprentɪs/ A young person who works for an employer for a fixed period in order to learn the skills needed in their job (Oxford dictionary).

In the heart of the "Empire of Light," where Imperium Vitae reigns, the path to prosperity begins at 15 as individuals immerse themselves in skills tailored to their chosen careers. Upon reaching 21, each person embraces the mandatory apprenticeship, a crucial step in contributing to the empire's flourishing future. Healer Althea, fueled by eagerness, finds herself unexpectedly entwined with the charismatic warrior apprentice Alaric, setting the stage for a tale woven with unexpected connections, passion, and the unfolding destiny of two intertwined lives.
