In a luscious field filled with flowers, Tony stands breathing in the air, “Is this… Heaven?” Tony says as he sees his mother and father. Tony walks towards them, it seems they are having a picnic “Ah. Tony, come join me and your mother” his father said. Tony sits, Tony’s parents says “So Tony, Happy 13th Birthday!” they hand him a piece of cake. “Ah, but haven’t we already celebrated?” Tony says with confusion.

“Hmm-? Did we? I don’t think we did” they both replied. “Ah, this is… a dream before the attack,” Tony thought to himself. Suddenly the sky turns red and Tony is brought in front of the burning village, Tony falls to his knee and looks disgusted at the sight. Screams could be heard left and right, pools of blood covers Tony’s foot and corpses could be seen everywhere, Tony covers his ears and closes his eyes.

However, he stops after hearing his father’s voice, “Father? W- Where are you!” Tony says with a shaken voice. Tony looks up and sees his father fighting eight men, they both seemed to be in a struggle against his father. The men landed a hit against his father, “Father!” Tony called when suddenly he sees his father’s chest glowing a bright orange then turning into a turquoise like-color.

Suddenly blue flames surround his father’s fists, the men shaken, attacks his father. His father dodges them and makes a ball of flames using the blue fire, one of the men’s chest glowed white and Tony’s father shoots the ball quickly. However he was too late and he was hit by a bright light that was behind them, Tony’s father fell to the ground.

Tony runs toward his father but then is brought in front of the execution platform that killed his father, Tony closes his eye to try to put an end to the nightmare, but as he tries he sees his father’s decapitated head, Tony falls and tries to touch it.

As he does he awoke from the nightmare, Tony sweating buckets checks himself. Tony looks around the room he is in, it seems to be a medical room of some sort, Tony looks at his body, he is covered in bandages there seems to be a table beside him.

The door opens and he sees Alice walking into the room, “Ah! Tony!” Alice says after she runs towards him. “M- Miss Alice, what happened?” Tony asks, “You collapsed from your injury and slept for three days, my idiot father!” Alice replied with anger, “Don’t worry Tony I’ll ask Sebastian to make some porridge” Alice said. “T-Thank you Miss Alice” Tony replied, Alice exits out of the room.

After a few hours, Tony sees Sebastian and Alice entering the room holding a dish, Tony says “Ah Mister Sebastian, how are you?” Sebastian looks at Tony and says “I am sorry Tony, Master Charlie isn’t normally like this.” Tony smiles at him and says “I suppose it is my fault, I bit more than I could chew”.

Sebastian places the dish on the table and says “This is porridge for your recovery” Tony thanks Sebastian and eats it. Alice talks with Tony “I’m sorry Tony, I should’ve never accepted the duel, I was stupid for not thinking my father had no alternative motive” Tony looks at his hand and says to Alice “It’s fine Miss Alice, I accepted the duel myself didn’t I?” Alice laughs and says “I thought you didn’t want to fight him?” Tony says “Well I didn’t think that I would be hurt so badly”.

Charlie enters the room, “Father why are you here, didn’t you hurt Tony enough?” Alice says, Tony afraid says “L- Let’s not be so mean to your father” Charlie looks at Tony and says “Boy. What is your full name?” Tony felt a shiver after hearing those words and says “T-Tony Maxwell. S-Sir!” Charlie looks at him and asks him how old he is, Tony replies with “Thir-Thirteen Sir!” Charlie glares at Tony, Tony felt fear, it felt like he was facing a bear that wanted to protect its cubs.

“Father! Don’t do that to Tony!” said Alice, Charlie looks at Alice and says “Fine Alice, I will not use it on him, for now” Charlie sits down and says “I suppose it will take me a bit of time to do this so I will ask you. So please speak nothing but the truth from now on. Now, Tell me everything you have experienced up to this point.” Tony nods and says.
