Nalizar's Transformation (A "The Rithmatist" Fanfiction)

The ending of this fanfiction contains spoilers for "The Rithmatist" By Brandon Sanderson. Please read the disclaimer.

Summary: Andrew Nalizar began his journey as a newly made orphan. With his parents' deaths glooming over him, Nalizar is determined to be the best rithmatist at Maineford Academy. But when he meets April Taylor, his life takes on a different path.

"The Rithmatist" is a book written by the brilliant Brandon Sanderson. Rithmatists use chalk to defend and attack: their drawings of creatures--chalklings--come to life to follow orders, and their circles defend the people inside them.

In "The Rithmatist," Andrew Nalizar is introduced as a handsome, yet arrogant newly hired professor at Armedius Academy. He wants to prove to everyone he is the strongest and that it's either his way or the highway.

Side note, April and Basil are my own characters made for this story. Thanks.

DISCLAIMER: The character of Andrew Nalizar is being used in this fanfiction under fair use. I am not claiming Nalizar as my own character, but am simply writing my own story about him. In this fanfiction, I have written a headcanon backstory for Sanderson's character, Andrew Nalizar. The majority of this story is not canon (but the facts at the ending are, as revealed in the source material's own ending chapters) and is based purely on my own ideas and headcanon.
