The Other World

- I will pay the price. Said Alan while putting his son on the ground.

- It's such a pleasure to witness the fatherhood love, but, you will die, is it okay for you?

- Yes, I'm ready.

Replied Alan, then he looked at Tarou.

- Take care of them, he is still young and reckless. Don't ever turn your back on them like I did before.

Tarou was very confused, everything happened so fast that he didn't know how to react.

- But...father! Please...don't...

Alan smiled at him to calm him down.

- I love you son. Live well.

Apollo took out the stone from the mold, it was like a big Emerald.

- Now, it's time. Come closer, we will begin.

Alan stepped forward. Apollo gave him the stone. It was still warm.

- Hold it tight with both hands and close your eyes.

" It's finally the time"

He took a final look at his sons, then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Apollo started reciting some kind of a spell. The stone glowed to the point that no one could open his eyes, then it disappeared Suddenly.

Alan was laying on the ground, Tarou went to him in a hurry.

- FATHER!!

His hair was all white and his face was full of wrinkles. Surprisingly, he opened his eyes.

- Father, can you hear me? Are you okay?

- That was unexpected, he is still alive. He must be very powerful to endure it.

- How can we save him?

- I'm afraid you can't, he is dying...
