Where it all began

The book I am reading is called, "The secrets of the immortals Nicolas Flamel, The Alchemist." The book talks about this man called Nicolas Flamel that is immortal. During all of his years of existence he has learned many professions and many languages. He is recognized to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest Alchemist. Being an alchemist means being a wizard or a sorceress. Nicolas Flamels job is to protect two twins called Sophie and Josh. Flamel has a very special quality, or talent. He can see the color of peoples aura. Only very talented and kind magicians like him have a gold aura. But he found Josh and Sophie, two twins that have the goldest and purest auras he has ever seen. This is why he takes them with him, to guide them and nurture them.

“I know the names, but I don’t know who they are.”  Sophie said.

What this quote means is that in the book Sophie got the memories of a good friend of Flamels, a witch. So what this quote is saying that she sees faces of people in her head and she knows the names of this people. But she has never met them, it’s the witch who knew this people and has met them. Just imagine if this happened to you, I personally go nuts because I will start to desperate.

“It sounds like you’ve had a tough life, “Sophie said quietly.

Sophie is talking to Scathach, a warrior who is also with Nicolas and the twins for protection. She has had a tough life as Sophie said because she had many losses when she was very young. After this she turned into this dark and serious person. She has been of a very good use in protection for Nicolas and also for fighting. If you are wondering who do their fight, the answer is other immortals that are called the Dark Elders.

These chapters have been basically to introduce the place where the story takes place, the characters and the circumstances in the story development. Up to now we can really see who is the protagonist and the antagonist. The protagonist would be Nicolas Flamel and the twins. The antagonist would be Niccolo Maciavelli and the Dark Elders.
