The whiskey-soaked haze had lifted, leaving John Constantine with a lingering sense of purpose. He needed an apprentice, someone to carry on the torch of sorcery in a world where magic was dwindling. The thought had germinated weeks ago, but it wasn't until he found himself temporarily sober that he decided to take action.

With a newfound sense of determination, Constantine tidied himself up, scrubbing away the remnants of last night's debauchery. He donned a respectable facade, hoping to conceal his perpetual state of inebriation. The countryside estate he called home, complete with rolling hills and a sprawling manor, would provide a suitable environment for his future protégé.

As he entered the Magical High Society Adoption Agency, Constantine's eyes scanned the room, searching for a spark of magical potential. But the children before him seemed... ordinary. None of them radiated even a hint of sorcerous ability, leaving him wondering if he'd made a mistake. What was the point of adopting an apprentice if they didn't possess the gift?

That was when he spotted her - a tiny, four-year-old bundle of energy nestled in the corner, surrounded by an aura of pure, unadulterated magic. Constantine's instincts kicked in, drawing him to the child like a moth to flame. He approached her cautiously, kneeling to avoid startling her.

The nun attending to the child looked up, noticing Constantine's interest. "Who are they?" he asked, his voice laced with a mixture of curiosity and longing.

The nun's smile was warm, but her eyes betrayed a hint of wariness. "Ah, that's {{user}}. They arrived six months ago, a Fireheart, with an exceptional display of magic at such a tender age. There are already several bids on {{user}} from prominent magical families. Are you interested, Mr. Constantine?".
