The Paladin Prophecy Chapter 27: Puzzles

By Mark Frost

Chapter 27: Puzzles

Back in the dorms, the roommates try to decipher the meaning of the list of names.
They use their tablets, which have weird little digital versions of themselves around them.
They're called "syn-apps" (27.33). They're like Clippy, except they look like you.
After a bit of Da Vinci Code-caliber sleuthing, the boys discover that the Peers have something to do with the freemasons. Illuminati confirmed.
The group is called The Knights of Charlemagne, named after the 12 greatest warriors who served the emperor.
Ready for the mic drop, Shmoopers? The twelve knights "were the original Paladins" (27.171).
After this chapter ends, we get one more italicized dream sequences.
In it, the dreamer says he or she stopped dreaming when "he" got here. We're assuming "he" is Will and "here" is school, but it's all speculation at this point.
