For Courtney and Piers Hoc opus, hic labor est I am dying. Perenelle, too, is dying.
The spell that has kept us alive these six hundred years is fading, and now we age a year for every day that passes. I need the Codex, the Book of Abraham the Mage, to re-create the immortality spell; without it, we have less than a month to live. But much can be achieved in a month. Dee and his dark masters have my dear Perenelle prisoner, they have finally secured the Book, and they know that Perenelle and I cannot survive for much longer.
But they cannot be resting easy. They do not have the complete Book yet. We still have the final two pages, and by now they must know that Sophie and Josh Newman are the twins described in that ancient text: twins with auras of silver and gold, a brother and sister with the power to either save the world or destroy it. The girl s powers have been Awakened and her training begun in the elemental magics, though, sadly, the boy s have not. We are now in Paris, the city of my birth, the city where I first discovered the Codex and began the long quest to translate it.
That journey ultimately led me to discover the existence of the Elder Race and revealed the mystery of the philosopher s stone and finally the secret of immortality. I love this city. It holds many secrets and is home to more than one human immortal and ancient Elder. Here, I will find a way to Awaken Josh s powers and continue Sophie s education. I must. For their sakes and for the continuance of the human race.
