A Master-Disciple Showdown? The Ancient One's Former Suitor!

Ren truly hadn't expected this.

The Ancient One, who had always seemed so unfathomable, had a romantic past full of twists and turns.

To Ren and the Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, the Sorcerer Supreme had always been the very image of wisdom and invincibility.
