Walking into that room was not exactly easy. Most of the ceremonial chambers I’ve visited in the past have been pure white—almost blindingly so. This one was pitch black. The only light came from a few candles which were flickering, casting crazy shadows which seemed to dance in the darkness.

When I discovered I’d been the subject of a disciplinary hearing, I was shocked and incensed. I’m always well-behaved. Being good is in my DNA. The idea that the masters had been forced to discuss my conduct was bad enough, but the fact that they’d come to the conclusion that I needed to be punished was almost incomprehensible. What had I done? Every time I think I’ve got a handle on my apprenticeship here, I get blindsided. It never gets any easier.

I’d seen Master Stone around a fair amount. There was something about him which always seemed to make me blush. He’s like the ultimate stepdaddy somehow. He’s a tall Silver Fox who’s almost dreamily handsome. He’s usually quite smiley as well but then, one day, I saw him shouting at one of the other apprentices and it was pretty much the most terrifying thing I’d ever witnessed, so I made a note to myself then and there never to get on his bad side. Of course, seeing him all puffed-up and aggressive like that immediately put him to the top of my list of fantasies. The trouble with this place is that once your sexual awakening has been overseen by one of the masters, all you can think about is well… sex.

I’ve been here for just over a year now, but it feels like forever. To be honest, I look back on my life before my apprenticeship and it all seems a little listless and grey. I had no purpose. There was very little excitement in my life…

Ever since overseeing his Second Anointing, I’ve wanted to spend more time with Apprentice Devall. He’s a popular boy, however, and there’s always a long queue of masters waiting to take him to the next stage of his journey. He is, afterall, utterly exquisite. He has a beautiful complexion, a stunning profile, he’s always immaculately turned out with his neat little body and the most perfect cock which is always rock hard and ready for adventure. Looking through his notes, I see the boy has been very much put through his paces during his apprenticeship. He’s passed every test with flying colors and great things are expected of him.
