Prologue
It was a summer night you could see stars very clearly. The star were shining like newly polished diamond. The wind was blowing very smoothly too. Under the moonlight there were people talking around campfire.
“Hey, hey grandpa is it true that dad was hero of this country.”
“yes, He was. He save this world along with this old man of yours.”
“Oooo wow, tells us how he did it. Please, pretty please.”
“hahaha… sure how can i say no to my adorable godchildrens.”
“then it happened when dad meet mom right, he told us one time before that he can do anything for mom”
“ya he certainly can do anything for her but my story starts sometime before that, when he was 15years old.”
20 years ago
It was well lighted room. There was a table in the middle of the room and one chair on one side of the table and two chairs on the other side. From latter side, a man sitting in chair asked person before him in low and trembling voice.
“can you…… save him?”
The person from opposite side answered while moving his head side to side saying “I’m sorry sir, but I cant save your child. I don’t know how to.”
“I..I see. Huh so not even you can save him.”
“I cant save him but I can help you.”
“wha….. what does that mean?”
“lets see, There is a doctor who might be able to save him. His name is Dr. Philip solomon. His is specialist in unknown disease and surgery. He might help you. Although---”
“if its money I can pay.”
“No no, its not about money. You see he work for government and he is leading researcher in military. So its not easy to meet him.”
“is there a way?”
“hmmm lest see he is coming in town next week for some research you might be able to meet him then, I’ll help you to get introduce.”
“oh thank you, thank you very much. I cant repay you enough for this.”
“Don’t say that, its my duty to save those which we can save right?”
After there conversation man left the room. There was only doctor who was sitting in chair staring at the door intensely and for some reason there was a cunning smile on his face. He then turn his attention from door to phone near his hand on the table. He reach out for receiver then dial a number, after sometime a voice could be heard from it.

“yes sir I found some fine specimen. Yes, don’t worry he already on its wits end even if he dies nobody will suspect a thing. Yes okay I’ll tell them to come on next Friday And sir remember my cut this time. Okay then I’ll report you if anything changes.”
Finally Friday came and the man was in the same room from before and the doctor was also sitting in same chair. Only difference was there were two more people. One was mans child who was suffering from unknown disease and other person was dr.solomon.
“I have examined your son and I more or less can grasp what kind of disease its.”with heavy and prideful voice dr.solomon said
Hearing this the face of man which was depress for so long was smiling. The man searched for cure but not single doctor could help. This was first time that anyone identified it.
“but, I can only say what this disease is. I don’t know if I can cure it or not. I only seen this once before, its very rare heart disease. ”
Hearing this the smile on his face vanished in thin air like it was never there to begin with. but he couldn’t let go of this last hope after searching for cure almost a year.
“although if you we take him to republic city. There is very advanced research lab of mine. We might be able to cure him there. I can get him a suitable donor also.”
“Donor?”
“yes, as I said early its heart disease. If not operated soon he will die.”
“I…I understand, please do whatever to save my son.”
“okay then its decided tomorrow we’ll travel to republic city.”
“dr.solomon about….. money?”
“don't worry we’ll talk about it once we find a suitable donor. for now we have to focus on saving this child.”
Putting his hand on childs head beside him dr.solomon looked towards child. The child smiled towards dr.solomons word to his response dr.solomon also smiled back.
That night dr. Solomon and doctor had little chat over some drinks.
“so sir how was the specimen?”
Taking some sip from his glass he answered “good, its perfect to start my new experiment.”
“then…” rubbing his hands together he continue “about that payment we talked.”
Putting his glass down and making a poker face with no emotion he replied “lately you have been very greedy and sending me damage goods and anything at that.” bending forward to reduce the distance between there face he continued “anyways that doesn’t matter now when I have no use of you, right?”
“wha…. what? don’t you dare to go back on your words. I know your little secrets and what you do to those people once I send them to you. If you don’t give me what I want I’ll tell everybody who and what you really are.”
“*sigh*, I was planing to let you live but by threatening me you just dig your own grave.” saying this he snap his middle finger and thumb together. In next moment doctor felt heavy pressure on him. He looked around for source and he fond a man standing behind him.
“wha.. when… when did he get in? Who are you?”
The anger in doctors eyes turned into fear when he saw this scene.( how he get in? Door is locked from inside and window… no no we are on 3rd floor, even if someone climb from window it wouldn't go unnoticed and seeing his face he doesn't look exhausted. Then----)
“you…. you planed this from the start, didn’t you?”
“you could say. Although I was not planning to use him but the conversation we just had it became necessary, don’t you agree?”saying this dr.solomon rose from his chair started walking towards door “make sure you clean this place and don’t leave any evidence.” giving his order to the man who was standing right behind doctor, he once again started walking towards door. Hearing this the man nodded in affirmative And then before dr.solomon left the room he looked towards doctor and said “nothing personal I just cant have any loose ends.” and just like that he left the room.
“I…..I’ll pay you double of what h..he is pa…paying you. Ju… just let me go please.”
But man didn’t say a word instead he took out a short sword and then in flash his hand moved horizontally. And suddenly in doctors vision the world got upside down And before he could realize he died without feeling any thing.
