From Johannes, Summer 1224 > To Iudicium ex Guernicus, Senior Quaesitor of the Stonehenge Tribunal, Johannes sends respectful greetings: > > My sodales and I recently chanced to discover in the pursuit of other goals > that a Gifted individual had been living in secret some few miles downriver from > Cambridge. > > The shocking aspect of this encounter was that the individual in question was > protected by something that seemed like, and turned out to be, the Parma Magica. > > It transpired that they had once been an Hermetic apprentice, but that their > parens had cast them forth with their training incomplete - and had most foolishly > allowed them to learn the Parma before they did this! > > The apprentice in question is not of sweet disposition, but did most willingly > swear the Oath in my presence and that of my sodales, and has pledged himself > to abide by its tenets; it is clear that he needs to be admitted into one of > the Houses, but now past the crisis, I must confess that I do not know the > correct protocol and procedures to follow. > > I enclose a full report on the matter, which I hope you will be able to > appropriately pursue. > > Yours with respect, > > Johannes ex Guernicus
