Chapter 4! Sorry for the mistake in the last chapter! I didnt count the prologue as a chapter but after the long break I forgot about that and called it chapter 4! R&R! And No one got the special guest!

Dante looked up, horror on his face.

'Grandpa! What are you doing here? Dee could come through there any second.'

'Hmm,' said Dante's Grandpa. 'So Dee's up to his old tricks again.'

Nicholas dived through the portal and knocked Grandpa to the ground.

'Sorry,' said Nicholas. 'It was an-'

Nicholas stared at the man. 'Abraham, is that you?'

Dante gasped. 'You know one another?'

Nicholas smiled. 'I knew you were a direct descendant of Abraham the Mage, Dante. But I didn't know he was your Grandpa!'

Abraham laughed. 'I'm guessing you believed the rumours of my death.'

Dante looked very shocked. 'Rumours! Death!'

Nicholas turned and remembered that Dante was there. He also released that the leygate was still open. He reached up with both hands to the opposite corners of the gate and there was a minty smell in the air has he dragged the corners to the centre and with a small pop it disappeared.

Abraham clapped. 'I see you've studied intensely since we last met.'

Nicholas smiled. 'I've had plenty of time.'

Dante jumped up and down. 'Helloooooo! I'm still here, and still confused you know.'

Nicholas and Abraham turned and regarded Dante.

'Oh Dante, meet Abraham the Mage.' said Nicholas.

'Noooo...' said Dante. 'That's my Grandpa, Andrew.'

Nicholas laughed. 'Andrew?' he said disbelievingly to Abraham.

'Well I couldn't walk around as Abraham.'

Dante spoke up. 'Nicholas, just explain this to me.'

Nicholas nodded. 'Dante, your Grandpa is Abraham the Mage, author of the Codex.'

Dante thought for a minute. 'The Codex...that's the book you sent to me, right?'

Nicholas nodded. 'That's right. Everyone had thought he had died but he obviously hasn't.'

Dante smiled. 'I always thought you were too young looking to be 90, Grandpa.'

Abraham laughed. 'You never let on though!'

Dante laughed too. 'Nope. Mum thought it too.'

'Ah, young Amelia. She always knew something was different about me. I'll never forget the day she walked in when I was cooking the chicken.'

Dante looked confused. 'But Dad cooks all the time.'

Abraham laughed. 'With fire magic?'

Nicholas laughed. 'I bet she got a bit of a fright!'

Abraham laughed too. 'She walked out of the room again. Though she never mentioned it to me...'He scratched his head thoughtfully. 'I wonder if it has anything to do with the time I erased her memory about magic. Most likely.'

Dante, Nicholas and Abraham stood chatting for a while before Sophie and Josh floated over to them.

'Ahem! Abraham, could you teach Dante the Magic of Fire?'

Abraham smiled. 'I'm sure I could. But we would need a quiet place and some time.'

Nicholas turned serious. 'Well time is the one thing we don't have. Dee could come at any moment and steal the Codex.'

Abraham looked astonished. 'You have the Codex!'

Dante turned and pulled it out of his bag. He then gave it to Abraham.

Abraham flicked through the pages. 'I remember when I wrote this. I had three apprentices.'

'Three?' said Nicholas. 'I thought you only had two.'

'Most people believe so. But that's because my third apprentice led a quieter life under the earth.

My first, Zephaniah, excelled in the area of Air. She went on to become, as she is now known, The Witch Of Endor.

My second apprentice was her younger brother, Prometheus. He excelled in the Magic of Fire. He also founded the race of the humani.

Finally, my third apprentice, excelled in Earth, the least used elemental magic. But she was by far the strongest of the three. Her name, was Maia.'

Nicholas turned pale. 'No Abraham, not Maia. She didn't, it wasn't her fault.'

Nicholas promptly closed his eyes and fainted.

Now! Another Guess for who Maia is!
