The Sixth Year of Night

In the sixth year of that Night, the students broke from their Teachers.

For in spite of all tricks, most students had learned nothing, could do nothing out of the ordinary – could do no more, in fact, than they had done during the Day. And they blamed the Special Ones and said they hoarded their secrets.

But others among the apprentices had become Masters, and contested with their Teachers for preeminence.

Fellowship and brotherhood were lost. There was a falling-out, and it came to hard words, blows, and killing.
