           "Make the right decision. I didn't raise you to be a bad person. Since you have found the magical shell, I will tell you all the secrets before you despair. You may not have heard the legends and myths, but I was a monster. I go to twelve villages as a demonic giant with fire as my eyes. I can sense where the gifted children belong in each village. When you were three years old, I sensed your presence. To take the child, I go knock at the child's home' s roof and ask to give one child or else I will take all. Your parents took rocks and wrote each child's name on it, put it in a bag, and picked the rock that had your name on it. The reason I take children is because I use to have 12 children. I didn't give them the proper motherly care. When they died horribly in a tragic fire in my poor home, I reincarnated as a demonic giant , because that is who I truly was. All my children also reincarnated as another innocent child."

                "That is why I took all you 12 children, to give all of you the best treatment. So when I did, I became an angel, a fairy, a beautiful spirit. My original children died at age 12 and younger. So that is why I had to set all of you free, otherwise you would've all died. When all my children left, I died peacefully, but I can't say that for you. You have found the shell, and if you cry into it with true emotions, then you will get a pearl in return of one tear drop. All the other children are very rich, except you, and that is why you've received the shell. Also, if you drink the silver potion, your true character will come out, your true destiny. But be careful, because, it may not be what you wished for. I love you Alexander, and forgive me for treating you terribly in our first life." 

                 After all those years, I have now learned the truth. Finally, the truth. Also the truth about myself. Not just my past life, but my true character. I'm the kind of person that will do anything to become rich. Basically, I'm a greedy, and ruthless person with a depressing life.
