Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel: Book 3 Quiz

Answer: None

Josh, having only been Awakened by Mars Ultor in the previous book, has not been trained in any element. Hekate Awakened Sophie (the older twin) in the first book, but was distracted from Awakening Josh by Dee's forces burning Yggdrasil (the World Tree, where she lived). Hekate rushed out to defend Yggdrasil, and was destroyed along with the tree in the battle that followed.

Sophie has been trained in Air (by the Witch of Endor) and Fire (by Saint-Germain).

Answer: Alcatraz

In "The Alchemyst", when Perenelle was first kidnapped by Dee, she was locked up under Dee's business, Enoch Enterprises. She was then moved to Alcatraz, where the Egyptian Sphinx guarded her, preventing her from using her power to escape.

In the "The Magician", Juan de Ayala, a friendly ghost, distracted the sphinx by banging doors, causing the creature to go investigate. Perenelle escaped her cell, but couldn't leave the island. She's still there at the beginning of the book.

Answer: Genii Cucullati

When Josh asks what the green-hooded "teenagers" tailing them are, Sophie explains that they are flesh eaters. This is not, however, their official name. They are also known as the Hooded Ones. The Dark Elders are the ancient immortal gods and goddesses whom Dee and Machiavelli serve.

Flamel defeats them by calling in a favor from Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow, who knocks out the Genii Cucullati with water from the Greek Underworld River Styx. According to legend, when a person comes in contact with the Styx's water, they will be knocked unconscious for a year and a day.

Answer: Feed her to his spiders

We're told this when Perenelle climbs down the ladder into the lower part of Alcatraz to visit the Crow Goddess. Locking the Morrigan up in Alcatraz would have been a bit pointless, seeing as the Sphinx was hunting the island for Perenelle and probably would have let her out.

The Nereids were also serving the Dark Elders, so feeding her to the Nereids likely wouldn't have worked either.

Answer: Nereus

Nereus, the Dark Elder also known as the Old Man of the Sea, was the father of the Nereids, who are water nymphs. He attacks Perenelle shortly after she makes an alliance with the Crow Goddess, and she drives him off using a spear with the Archon glyph written on it.

The spear was originally a part of the Spell of Binding, which Dee used to imprison Aerop-Enap, a giant spider, on Alcatraz.

Answer: Flies

Billy the Kid is an immortal American working for the Dark Elders, who was sent to help Machiavelli and weaken Aerop-Enap and her spiders. To do this, he summons poisoned flies and sends them to Alcatraz. When Aerop-Enap's spiders bite into the insects, they die from the poison.

Answer: Cold Water

Perenelle summons the snowflakes first, followed by the ice from an exploding snowball, and ends with the hail, which sends the sphinx running for her life. The only reason why Perenelle could use her aura's powers around the sphinx was because Nicholas, Sophie, and Josh had strengthened her aura with their own.

Answer: The Munnin

The Morrigan is the youngest of the three sisters and is Death. The Badb and Macha are her two older sisters (we aren't told who is the eldest). Only the Munnin isn't one of the three sisters. Munnin is one of the Norse god Odin's ravens, and its name means "memory". Huggin, Odin's other raven's name, means "thought".

Answer: Niccolo Machiavelli's

Machiavelli and Billy the Kid are sent to Alcatraz by the Dark Elders to kill Perenelle when Nereus fails. The Crow Goddess, now Perenelle's ally, leads the two on a wild goose chase to the D Block in the prison, giving Perenelle enough time to steal their boat and get off the island.

Nereus appears again, attempting to prevent her escape, but Perenelle stabs him again with the spear from the Symbols of Binding, forcing him to retreat.

Black Hawk does not appear until the fourth book, "The Necromancer", while Scathach and Joan of Arc are still trapped in a Shadowrealm at this point. Nereus is the Old Man of the Sea, so does not need a boat to reach Alcatraz.

Answer: Thunderbird

The Thunderbird belonged to Billy the Kid. He left it when he sailed to Alcatraz with Machiavelli to kill Perenelle and loose the monster army there on San Francisco. After Perenelle stole their boat, leaving Machiavelli and Billy stranded on Alcatraz, she found Billy's Thunderbird and drove it to San Francisco to meet up with Nicholas and the twins, saying that she had a feeling the owner (Billy the Kid) wouldn't be using it anytime soon.
