"That's because you're not thinking of it right. You've got to respect it - it's *a kind of magic*," the Master snapped.

"Argh! This is so useless! Why can't you teach me something worth knowing, like immortality or something?" Thayde said, creasing his brow in anger.
"Ah, Thayde. you have much to learn. That is the path of darkness; and besides, *who wants to live forever*?" his Master said, waving a finger in the air. A spark jumped out of it. "Oops. Anyway, any Student whose ever tried it has ended up failing - in a deadly way."
"What about '81?"
"He still got destroyed a little later. You see, that Student was *on the dark side* to begin with. He was like Icarus - *broken wings*, with no one to help him on his fall."

I almost used all Queen songs for mine. And not just any Queen but slightly more obscure Queen even. Very nice, and a neat interaction on top it, a moment not usually depicted, the struggling dark apprentice.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/24354?basename=481272008-03-13T16:23:01ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Student and Master (Retro Music Challenge)<p>Excellent job!
