from grace as to become a thief? What was his motivation? Where are all the artifacts now? It is of course believed that the paranormal police will look into all these claims, and should Risper be found guilty he would be expected to stand trial in a court of law so that he may answer for his awful crimes.
To say that Elam is famous and successful beyond all measure is child’s play. The entire paranormal world knows of Elam. They know that the list of stolen artifacts of his alone is far longer than the list of all the Hunters’ artifacts combined. This publication has to wonder where Risper, or Elam, has kept the artifacts all these years. Where were they hidden, and why? Did he sell them at crude black markets before real black markets existed? Did Risper, as a high-level member of the paranormal community, really think he could get away with such behavior? We think not. He knew his days were numbered. He knew he would be caught eventually.
In part his lack of prosecution probably has to do with the Nocturn War. Without the war, more paranormals would have been able to devote more time to catching the scoundrel. It remains to be seen whether he had any accomplices. The source swears that he did not.
For all we know he bought government officials over the years to keep them quiet or make them back off when they got too close to his true, SHOCKING identity.
Which is of course a hard claim to believe, but the thefts were just too miraculous to comprehend.
Also, to carry that theory further, he was at the apex of power in the paranormal world. He is the uncle of the premier of all darkness and has been privy to secrets for years that the rest of us can only imagine. He is even, as of recently, on the list of sought-after paranormals. Well, of course he is, his ability to steal is beyond measure.
This publication would like to call on all paranormals who may have knowledge of artifacts to let us know if you have heard anything of Elam as Risper, if you have seen him in the following locations, or if any of the artifacts are missing from the list of what should be there.
The list of artifacts looked like it was a mile long and I nearly went cross-eyed looking at it.

My mind churned. Risper was Elam and Charlotte had known. Where was Risper now? Seeking revenge on whoever had betrayed him? He must have kept his true Elam identity a closely guarded secret, so who had told? Was he still in the country? I had seen him leaving Dacer’s and smiling, and I had had no clue as to the truth.
Keegan and Eighellie, both of whom had also seen Risper at Dacer’s, were looking at the Tabble with open mouths.
“I bet Risper’s freaking pissed,” said Keegan, his mouth full of cereal.
“Now he has to go on the run,” I mused, wondering where he was now.
“I wonder who outed him,” said Keegan. He was staring at the Tabble with shock in his eyes, as if the idea of angering Risper was too ridiculous to contemplate, and yet someone had in fact done it.
“I have a feeling it was someone who wanted to get back at him for taking all the artifacts,” said Greek Harrison. As a member of our group he was supposed to sit with us every morning at breakfast, but we didn’t actually sit near him, because, well, all the seats around him were occupied by fawning girls.
“You think it’s revenge?” Keegan asked.
“There’s a lot of revenge going on around here,” said Greek, glancing to the girl on his left. Candace was another fallen angel; neither Greek nor any of the fallen angels sitting around him had made it to Dacer’s for the party.
Candace shrugged. “He’s broken the law and should be punished. What else is there to it, really?”
“Oh, maybe because he broke the law to protect the paranormals,” said Keegan.
“Maybe he thought he was protecting the paranormals and maybe sometimes he did, but sometimes he just stole artifacts when it wasn’t helping anyone but himself. If there
