The grand finale

In the final chapters of my book, Nicolas Flamel is captured by Niccolo Machiavelli and he is taken to the Alcatraz Prison. He is held hostage inside a cell. There are stories told amongst the Alchemist that lots of spirits wonder through the cells of the prison. Flamel is trapped in there alone with all of the spirits. At least he thought he was alone, but he hears a voice, a woman’s voice. When he finally sees the woman’s face he realizes it’s his wife Perenelle, she had been kidnapped years ago and Nicolas had been searching for her for years and finally he had found her. What had happened was that she was moved once a month from place to place so that Nicolas could not find her but 3 months ago they just stopped moving her and left her there in Alcatraz. That coincided with the exact time that he and the twins started to be followed by Niccolo Machiavelli. While this is happening Josh, one of the twins. Is tempted by Machiavelli.

“I’ve seen her survive worse, much worse.” Said John

In this part John is talking to Scathach and he is telling her about his plan to trick Machiavelli so that she and Sophie can rescue Flamel. But Scathach is worried that she and Sophie would be more vulnerable if he left. But deep inside she knows it’s the only way to rescue Flamel and to end with Machiavelli. Josh knows it’s not going to be easy but he knows he is strong enough to end with all of this and finally bring some peace for all of them.

“Can he really awaken my powers”, said Josh

One of the most important things for Josh right now is awakening his powers because he feels kind of useless because he has no powers, or they haven’t been awakened up till now. He was sent to find something and he ran into Machiavelli. At first he was at a defensive state and threatened him. But as all of the Magicians he has his special power that he can do better than anyone. And Machiavelli’s power is temptation or suggestion, kind of what Jedi’s do on star wars with their hand. But he doesn’t need the hand or anything, all he needs is words. Josh did the brightest thing he could ever have done. I believe this was the most intelligent decision of the entire book. He pretended he had been convinced by Machiavelli to join his side and in exchange he would take him to someone to awaken his powers. But the truth is he did this so that his sister and Scathach can rest and rescue Flamel.

In the end of the book Flamel is rescued by Sophie and Scathach, while Josh is fighting brutally with Machiavelli. In the middle of the fight josh is exhausted and has taken a big hit by Machiavelli. The magician says to john, “you are practically useless without powers, you know that right. Everyone in your little gang has a special contribution and you, all you do is delay them.” Josh listen to this words but instead of start questioning if he was right or not, what he does is get inspired with his words and he does something that no one had ever done before. He unlocked his powers all by himself and his powers turn out to be as twice as powerful as Machiavelli’s powers. So he easily defeated and killed Machiavelli. The dark elders where watching this and Josh left a message for them, the message said that if they were ever harmed or even bothered again by them they would end up just like Machiavelli.

In conclusion I did like the book and the ideas that they use and the creativity that the author has to create this awesome book and all these wonderful characters. But what I didn’t like was how he concluded the story, I don’t know why but it seemed like it was a little forced because everything was solved in a very small amount of time.
