Bab 96: The Other World (23)

Aaron had a bad feeling about what Apollo said:

- What do you mean?

- The stone must take someone's life to be activated. To be more clear, one of you must give his life to the stone... Are you willing to pay that price?

The four monsters didn't believe what they just heard, especially Aaron. He became very frustrated:

- Are you, perhaps, saying that one of us must die?

- Not necessarily. The stone will take your youth, so, if the person is young enough, he won't die, instead, he will become a very old person.

Aaron couldn't hold back himself any longer and was about to attack Apollo

- WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SAYING? I WILL FORCE YOU TO MAKE THE STONE.

Alan stopped him and tried to stay calm:

- STOP, AARON! Don't be reckless.

Then he asked Apollo:

- What if the person was older?

- He will die, without a doubt.

They looked at each other not knowing how they should react to that heavy price:

- What should we do?

- I don't know...
