The Premonitory Dream?

Chapter 1

AND HERE IS ME FOR A BONE MY FIRST BONE (I REMIND YOU THAT THIS STORY BELONGS TO ME BUT NOT THE CHARACTERS!). ZORRO FAN, YOU ARE SERVED! ATTENTION MENTION OF THE DEATH OF A MAJOR CHARACTER! SEE YOU DOWN?

Alejandro de la Vega was dreaming. He suspected it, it could only be a dream. But a terrible dream.

Diego was drinking a glass of port fresh from Spain. Both commented on the decline in product quality since the Eagle took power. His son confided to him that he greatly missed Captain Toledano, who had recently returned to Madrid. He then asked him if he was thirsty. He answered that he didn't want to drink because this alcohol meant nothing to him. He wasn't wrong. He suddenly saw Diego, still holding his glass in his hand, open his eyes wide and fall backwards from his chair. He rushed. Her son sat up, turned pale, closed his eyes, pretending to have a headache.

Wanting to get back up on his own, he fell back. His father, worried, went to fetch Bernardo. He asked her to fetch Doctor Avila as soon as possible. When he returned, he heard groans. More and more worried, he found Diego gasping at the foot of his chair. He thought it was a prank but his son confessed to him that he was expecting such a death. He told her how after the death of his mother, he had decided to restore justice and devote his life to it. He did not imagine, at that time, that it was such an arduous task. He recounted his studies in Spain, his return to his native California, his decision to preserve Zorro's true identity, the fear of being discovered, the shame (which was nevertheless necessary) of creating Diego de la Vega idle, non-violent, interested in everything except weapons and mainly music and poetry. He admitted to having failed in his task, wanting to tell his father, but he punished himself by leaving for a dangerous or even suicidal mission.

Zorro had to act alone!

He swallowed his father's remarks with difficulty and if Bernardo had never cheered him up, he probably wouldn't be here now. The latter had, moreover, returned to the hacienda, having been unable to see the doctor. That's when the father understood what his hero, who was his son (and he really had a hard time believing all this), had meant when he fainted, declaring this sentence, enigmatic : "You have many years my father, to live and to dream.". It was at this precise moment that Diego moaned even louder. Alejandro told him: "I forgive you everything, mi hijo-zorro.". His descendant smiled then his head fell back, staring blankly.

Alejandro closed his eyes, being sure that both were relieved by these revelations, however tragic. He looked up at the starry sky, and saw a star there that hadn't been there before, followed by another brighter one. "Isabella y Diego, mi familia y mis queridos, he thought then, you have earned these places for your good deeds, I will always love you, my darlings!"

The sleeper then awoke terrified.
