Apprentice Roux is one of our most popular and successful apprentices. The masters are universal in their praise for the boy, and he’s expected to graduate with flying colors. Three masters—Snow, Stone and I—have shared equal responsibility for him. Each of us has focussed on a different aspect of his training, using differing methods to bring out the very best in him. Often, an apprentice is taught on a strictly one-to-one basis, but Apprentice Roux’s training has been somewhat unique in the amount of group work we have done.
That said, the ancient and sacred Sacrament ceremony is a private ritual. It brings an apprentice incredibly close to his master and it definitely is not a spectator sport. Having developed a close bond with Apprentice Roux, I was grateful to be selected to oversee this key rite of passage.
