 Nicholas is trying to hide the pain of his lose yet after living an imortal life together there must be a deep attachment to Pernelle. Yet in a month's time they and their love could fade. The pain of losing something you love is undescribable, I've felt it. I lost my grandmother. We haven't spent an eternaty like Nick and Pernelle but it didn't take that long to love her. Love is described as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person in dictionary.com, but it's more than that love is holding on to something and never wanting to let it go, its not just a feeling but a part of yourself. Loosing love is loosing yourself. I lost my grandmother and it I felt a pain unimaginable to any other. Nicholas is about to face that same fate.

Magic, Alchemy, Immortality and Rotten Eggs = The Alchemyst

 The Alchemyst: Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel  centers around the world of two twins, one boy, John, the other is a girl, Sophie. From the first 19 pages it starts off fast. Dark figures attack the bookstore John works at and owned is by Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel. Nicholas Flamel somehow conjures up balls of pure energy like magic as a force to destroy the attackers. Books keep flying and get ripped apart and from the destruction time is given for an escape for both Nicholas and John. However, the destruction draws the attention of Perenelle and Sophie who come to their aide.

  Nicholas Flamel in this story is based off a real person. The story of Nicholas Flamel is surrounded by legend. Each legend is even more shocking then the last. Nicholas was educated as a small boy so he had the ability to read and write and with this knowledge eventually became a writer and studied alchemy, back in his time the study of tranformation (how things come to be). According to legend Nicholas Flamel got his hands on the book written by Abraham the Jew so it had a direct link to God. Only a scholar had the ability to read the book but with his knowledge of reading and writing he eventually looked inside. Nicholas, his wife Perenelle , and an unknown stranger eventually decoded the words in the book and from it Nicholas and his wife were granted the ability of turning metal to gold and eventually learned the secret to immortality. This is all according to legend yet one thing stands true Nicholas Flamel was real but did he discover the secret to immortality? His empty gravestone might be your answer.
