Varian's POV:

"Never give up Ruddiger. So our last formula didn't deliver quiet the reaction we'd hoped. So what? The important thing is we got a reaction-" i said, about to test another solution.

"Son, I just want to-" dad walked in, without warning me.

"Oh, oh" i turned around quickly, forgetting i was in the middle of pouring a solution on the rocks.

"Varian I told you to stay away from those rocks." Dad said.

"Um, yeah, I- I know what you said but-!"

"Then there should be no misunderstanding. Now listen to me when I-"

"No! No, you listen to me dad. Our village is dying! You think running away from the problem is gonna fix it? No- these rocks aren't going away." I said.

"I know Varian. But there's more to them than you can possibly imagine." Dad turned away from me.

"Then why won't you tell me? Dad! I just- I deserve to know." I said.

"I'm sorry son. You're not ready. Varian watch out-!" Dad yelled as he turned to face me.

I noticed the rocks expanding as dad pushed me out of the way.

I looked back at him to see his arm trapped in the rock.

"Oh! Dad! Dad! Hold on dad! Hold on- ah, I'll get you out!"

"No! Stay back"

I grabbed my jacket and scarf.

"I'm gonna go get help!"

I ran out of the house and in the direction of the castle.

Rapunzel will know what to do.

I hope i can fix this...i've messed up enough already....

Maybe I make things a mess
And maybe you're right to have doubts in me

Maybe, but nevertheless
If you for once could just trust me

Just this once
let me come through for you

The way that you want me to

Let me make you proud

Let me show you the best in me

Let me give you a reason to believe that I can stand tall

And when I return

And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be

Maybe then you will realize
That you never actually knew me at all

Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
I know that I've disappointed you

Still, though, whatever it takes
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me

Just you wait,
I'll make it up to you
If it's the last thing I ever do

I will make you proud

I will make you have faith in me

I will prove that the way I used to be
is all in the past
