    Naturally you would update the instant I got back to university from catching up to a cliffhanger.

    Anyway, I'm starting to like Jaques' team.

    Sweet. And as for the stylized labrynthine walls every Codex has that symbol on the top.

    Jaques IS one of the leaders of Global Minds. Heck, this may have been the "That" that it was dangerous to be traveling with. That isn't something you want lost or in the wrong hands.

    Okay, it's more like a stone tablet and less like a parchment; but "parchment" is a closer approximation of "president" than "stone tablet".

    Or they want to present the codex to people who would ally with them, increasing the resources on their side. Eventually a codex would probably find someone they like among your friends. That makes you stronger.

    It's a long shot for a codex that hasn't selected someone in decades but if you don't know how long it's been you'll want as much power on your side as possible.

    You assume the codex cares? Moreover, how would becoming a mino-

    ... wait, never mind, the ice guy said it would kill a human but just immobilize a page... so yeah, probably Raoul...

    Minotaurs are not specifically associated with loss of arms, though. Mythologically speaking, other than the obvious (labyrinth, curse, hidden shame, etc.), they're tied to the Sun (bulls were solar animals in Mediterranean symbolism, and Pasiphaë was herself a daughter of Helios) and the Sea (the White Bull having been sent by Poseidon).

    But he's frozen, not on fire.

    Actually since fire and ice are opposites, he shouldn't listen at all...

    Which he doesn't anyway because of the pain, so we're both right

    Actually, the more likely thing is that the person gets snake hair and has to wear a hat or turban or something all the time.

    No, because people who aren't awakened can't see the supernatural effects of being a page. For example how Raoul couldn't tell that guy had a skeletal arm till he awakened.
    It could easily be some non physical change though, like how the lunar codex can't touch silver (and suffers unknown consequences if they do). Might be an aversion to having their head cut off, for example.

    I sense a plotline in which both Raoul and Ben try to hid the fact that they're pages from each other.

    Normal humans have that aversion too, you know. I think only Green Knight pages do not have an aversion to having their head cut off.

    I was assuming the gorgon doesn't really get a serpent's tail can't expect everything to be the same. Decided to try a twist with it.

    That's Yuan-Ti or Naga. Gorgons didn't have any snake parts but the hair in Greek mythology.

    The thing you have to give up might be looking directly at people and baldness when dealing with humans (they can't see your snake hair and hair is not as necessary as arms)

    Might just look like dreads. Also, might have the minor penalty of not being able to cut your hair. At least not without a good bit of pain.
