Who is the hero? bp#6
I"m still reading The Warlock by Michael Scott. My prediction for the role of hero, I'd say might be Sophie. The very first book has a prophecy saying "One to save the world, and the other to destroy it." page 26 of The Alchemist by Michael Scott. Of the Newman twins, Sophie is my first choice because she is on the side with the Flamels, whereas her brother is with Dr. John Dee, and his temporary accomplice, Virgina Dare. Dee and Dare constantly leave things in a state of shock and destruction, the Flamels do too, but Dee's sole purpose is to return the elders to the earth, especially the evil ones. I don't trust Dee which makes me think that Sophie will end up the reigning hero. Sophie also has traits of the archetypal hero. She suffers through the hardship of being "awakened" and travelling all over the world in like a week, and she suffers seperation from her twin brother Josh. Sophie and Josh are really all that eacht other had growing up because their parents were normally off on an archelogical dig somewhere on the earth. Sophie is also reluctant to believe in magic, and she is innocent, because she was trying only to help her brother and the store he worked in from being hijacked by Dee and his golemns, when she finds herself sucked into a world of mystery. Yet there is always the possibility that the burden of destroying the world could be Sophie, but I highly doubt that as Tsagasal or " The One Who Watches" told Sophie that it very well could be Sophie on Alcatraz with Dee about to let loose all creatures of Nightmare on San Fransisco.
