Dear Kendra,

I have vital information to share with you Call it a final tutorial, and a parting shot at my treacherous employers You should have learned the lesson I shared e first met What is the textbook Society infiltration?

Set up a threat, then come to the rescue in order to build trust Errol did it to you and Seth Then

I did the sa to be part of the solution rather than the cause of the proble most of the time until thethattime, with infinite subtlety and patience Namely, the Sphinx430 Your reflex will be to doubt ifts madedeeper, I unearthed a truth that I should have left undiscovered He suspects I know his secret, which is why he will confine me to the Quiet Box He would prefer if he could have me executed I work for him, but I am not supposed to know the identity ofStar For uessed his true identity

The kind of fraud he is perpetrating could endure only with supreme discretion and meticulous attention to detail In his mind, I have become a liability

The Sphinx could have claimed he had a prison that would hold me and impede my powers He could have takenloyalty At present, I would still be in doubt as to his intentions, but Lich, not fully understanding the dynamics of the situation, hinted about the Quiet Box, and so I scrawl e on the floor

Consider the coup this is for the Sphinx As a known traitor, I am a spoiled asset for the Society, and therefore of ets to look like the hero and the sure friend of Fablehaven as he locks me in thethe duplicitous truth In case his suspicions are correct and I know his true identity, I am permanently out of the equation431 What else? He frees a prisoner who is undoubtedlya powerful ally! And he walks aith the artifact

This could be a fabrication Keep your eyes open, and tis The reason the Sphinx knows soboth sides He is causing the danger, and then providing relief and advice until those perfect moments of betrayal arrive Who kno many artifacts he has collected? He has been at it for centuries! Considering his actions at

Fablehaven and in Brazil, he has apparently decided that the ti Star is rising

Had he trusted me, his secret would still be safe

But he spurned me, and underestier his I know randparents
