his personal legend was to travel to the pyramids and on his way find Fatima and the alchemist.

An alchemist still relies on chemistry.
The unspoken language in the book is the soul of the world and how santiago achieves that with the alchemist
Alchemy is about turning common, ordinary objects into something of the most value: gold. The story of the The Alchemist is about taking the common ordinary events of life, and life itself, and turning them into something beyond value. This is evident in two areas: 1) the journey itself, and 2) the events within the journey. Santiago's treasure, ironically, is at the very place where he began the trip. But in order for Santiago to grow, to achieve his personal legend, he must go on the journey. The journey itself turns Santiago from someone common to someone who believes in himself, into a person who has achieved his personal legend (unlike the crystal seller); thus, the journey--or life--is like alchemy, turning an ordinary life into gold. But one of the reasons the journey is successful for Santiago is because of his willingness, his attitude to view life positively. When his money is stolen, Santiago makes a conscience choice to an "adventurer in search of treasure," rather than "a victim." Santiago chooses to allow the events of life, even the disappointments, to work for good. Thus, The Alchemist is also about the need to see life as a process, one that is working towards good, one that will produce gold in you if you choose to view it so.
