After a long wait because I thought I had this chapter up, we return to the land of Dante! R&R please!

Dante: BB does not own Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. Only...me :(


Nicholas opened his eyes to see Abraham staring at him. 'Good, you're awake.'

Nicholas coughed and tears flower down his eyes. 'Maia, she was your apprentice?'

'Yes, and her twin, Raisa. He decided to wander the Earth looking for fame and fortune. He found it when you realised he was Gold and Maia was a Silver. You told Raisa and he called Maia to come to him. The Earth opened and Maia rose out of the crevice. She had been tunnelling for days. I had told her that her brother would need her. She nodded, gathered her things and left.'

Nicholas nodded. 'Yes, she definitely came out of the ground, but I always wondered where from and why the unusual appearance.'

'Well now you know.' said Abraham.

Nicholas fiddled with his shirt collar. His neck was overlaid with red scratches were the collar had been digging into him. While Abraham stared at them, they began to heal, and the room was filled with a slight minty aroma, Nicholas' signature smell.

Nicholas coughed again. 'I was wondering why my aura seemed to be constantly working. I'll have to get Perenelle to buy shirts with wider collars.' he smiled weakly. 'That is, if I survive the next few days.'

'Believe me.' said Abraham. 'If you do, you'll wish you didn't.'

'Never.' said Nicholas. 'I will always support the humani.'

'Whatever you say then.' said Abraham. 'Now, come downstairs, I'm about it teach Dante the Magic of Fire.'

Abraham and Nicholas walked down the stairs. 'Oh yes Nicholas, I forgot to mention, this is my home in San Francisco.'

Dante was sitting in the kitchen, chatting with Sophie and Josh. 'So if I work on my water skills, I should he able to make puddles of water into portals?'

'Yes.' said Sophie. 'But you'll only be able to go small distances. For long distances you'll need a leygate.'

'Like the one we came here in?'

'Exactly.'

Nicholas walked into the kitchen. 'Do you think you could do it, Dante?'

Sophie and Josh floated over to him. 'Nicholas! Are you ok?'

Nicholas chuckled. 'Yes, I'm fine.'

Josh turned to Nicholas again. 'Nicholas, I don't want to be nosey, but who was Maia?'

Nicholas at down on one of the chairs. 'Maia, was a Silver.'

Everyone except Abraham gasped. 'There were other Twins of Legend!' said Sophie.

'Yes, many.'

'And where are they now?'

'Ermmm...…most of them are either dead or in many pieces.'

'Have any twins survived?'

'Well if we can get to Hades there will be Three Saviours.'

Abraham's eyes turned Gold and his aura flared.

'The Two that are One, The One that is All.
The Two may die, A Third will Call.
The Bronze will save the Silver and Gold.
Three Saviours to the World Behold.
The Three to save the Humani
But Three Immortals First Must Die.'

Abraham's eyes turned back to his normal colour and he stared at everyone, who stared back at him, mouths open.

Abraham laughed. 'What just happened?'

Nicholas spoke up. 'We hoped you could tell us.'

Dante was about to speak when his bag glowed. He opened the catch and the Codex flew out, landing on the table. The cover flew open and a page began to glow as writing appeared on it. Everyone crowded around the table and looked at the Book. Its writing swirled and changed making it impossible to read. Abraham put his finger on the page and if glowed Gold. The writing changed to English and Abraham smiled.

'Apparently, I just made another prophecy.'
