V The Magician Reversed

¡Evil Nat AU!, or better: what if Lovelace was Nathaniel’s master? I had already written something about this concept, here; this is the beginning, when Lovelace is plotting and Nathaniel… well.

The man who came to take him that morning didn’t look like a magician as they had been described to him: he didn’t have a beard, just to start, and wasn’t old at all. He smiled, even, and this amazed Nathaniel so much that for a moment he forgot about the fear and the pain of abandonment.

«Hello» said the magician, scrutinizing him behind his shining glasses. «My name is Simon Lovelace. From today I will be your master».

The first teaching he got was forgetting his name: from that moment, he was called just ‘boy’. The second teaching was that Simon Lovelace was his master: not his father, his friend nor his confidant, his master; and, until their relationship would have been professional, it’d be perfect. Lovelace had been brought up like this and was still on good terms with his old master, who sometimes came by.

The boy didn’t like old Schyler very much, but, again, it wasn’t about liking or not, but if he could be useful. And Schyler was a powerful, competent magician, and of great experience.

The boy had understood quite quickly that the only to get in that little circle was being useful, even better: indispensable. He studied day and night: Lovelace had given him free access to his library.

«Start from here» he had said «And go on. When you’ll meet anything you don’t understand, come to me and we’ll see what to do about it. But don’t neglect your lessons».

Lovelace wasn’t particularly prodigal with compliments, but he could recognise talent, and he could read people.

«What is it with that smug face?» he asked the boy after a correct answer about Aldebrand’s Pentacle. «You’re just doing the bare minimum, nothing more». He drew near the boy and put his hand on the boy’s shoulder. «No one likes know-it-alls, boy. No one likes finding out to be the least smart in the room. If you want to make it to the Parliament, remember this very well».

«But it’s not fair» the boy blurted out querulously. «If I know it, why shouldn’t I say it?»

«I didn’t tell you to not say it, boy. Pay attention! There is a right way and a wrong way. Do you maybe think you could enter in the Prime Minister’s office and say that your idea is better than his? Think!»

The boy thought. He learned to keep his mouth shut in front of his master’s colleagues and show only what people expected from a nameless boy. He was patient, even if his entire being rebelled against it.

And, finally, it was his turn.

The imp was summoned by his master, but the circles had been prepared by him, as were the candles, the herbs… And the orders would have been given by him.

The imp appeared in the shape of a baby, vicious and red-faced; the boy hesitated only for a moment, then pronounced the words of command.

It was done: he had exerted his willpower for the first time on a demon. The nameless boy turned around in his hands his Scrying Glass, his first real gift from his master, and smiled. A thin smile, easy to hide or change as necessary.

«Boy» Lovelace called him «tonight a man will come here: you stay out from my study».

«Of course, sir».

«Don’t worry, boy» Lovelace’s glasses flashed in the dark. «We’ll find something to do for you, too».

I recently got Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and I’d forgotten like every person Shepard meets brings up her 2nd most traumatic life experience, I feel really bad for her. Made me feel like doing a painting, though! I’ve drawn her with the scar from this wound before, so I felt like trying out showing how she got it.
