Aaron's heart started beating so fast. He clearly saw a flashing, but what does that mean?
- What is that supposed to mean?
- I don't know, but we can't just ignore it. There must be something!
At that moment Alan interfered:
- Put the stone on the heart.
He followed Tarou because he was worried that he will do something reckless to save his brother.
Actually, Alan wasn't expecting too much from Aaron. He predicted that he will be a human being like his mother, but he tried to ignore that fact for the past two years hoping that something will change.
Before going to the temple, he prepared a speech for the monsters in case Aaron failed to get his mission, but as soon as he entered the cave, he witnessed a miracle.
- FATHER!
- Calm down, Aaron. Everything will be okay.
That was the first time his father smiled at him. It made him somehow relieved.
- Alright...let's do it.
The monk got closer to Aaron, then he put the stone right on his heart.
Finally, the holy heart started glowing.
The light that was emitted from the stone became stronger and stronger to the point that no one there could open his eyes.
- Am I dreaming? Is it for real?
Aaron couldn't believe what was happening.
After falling into despair and losing all hope, he finally succeeded...He will show everyone that he is not a human, he is a monster for real. Like his father and brother.
The heart's glow lit up the whole cave, then it went out and reached all parts of the village. The monsters noticed it.
- LOOK, LIGHT IS COMING OUT FROM THE CAVE!
- AARON DID IT! HE SUCCEEDED.
No one ever saw the heart glowing that strong in his life.
Aaron could hardly open his eyes, but he was overwhelmed by happiness and joy.
After a few moments, the glow decreased slowly.
The holy heart projected a big picture on the wall. It is the place where he should go, then it turned into a small light and went through his head.
Aaron didn't know how, but he already memorized the road he must take to get to his destination.
After that, the stone went back to normal. Tarou and Alan took a moment to understand what did happen there.
Then suddenly Tarou jumped on Aaron and hugged him while looking very happy:
- I KNEW IT...I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WILL SUCCEED. I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU, LITTLE BROTHER. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY ONE OF US, NO ONE CAN BOUBT THAT.
- Yeah, you were right! Now, stop hugging me, I can't breathe.
Alan got closer to them while smiling.
- Congratulations Aaron, You proved to everyone that you are a monster.
- Thank you father...but why the stone did glow when it was on my heart instead of my head?
- I don't know, at that moment I just guessed.
The monk put back the stone in its place, then approached Aaron and put his hand on his chest.
- You have great power within your heart my son, but it is still sealed in there. You're going to face a lot of hardships and great danger because you will be powerless.
- What should I do?
You must figure out the way to make your power flow to your body.
- But how can I do that?
- You are the only one who knows the answer. Don't worry, you will be able to figure it out on your own. Just trust the heart.
Those mysterious words didn't prevent Aaron from celebrating his success.
" As long as I got the task, everything will be okay."
Aaron, Alan, and Tarou climbed down the stairs. The monsters were still waiting for them while looking very curious to know what did happen exactly in the cave, and why it took them this long.
