Here and Thereafter

What if a seasoned wizard invites you to apprentice under him? At a town fair, August must decide just that. The young dirt covered farmer accepts. Now he's being whisked off from his village to a place unfamiliar. Doubt plagues him as he learns the limits of his talents. Will he survive his lessons? August could be the next wise magus, or just another dead fool, or something even worse.
