Varian listened to Isabel but looked at his father.
- "All kinds of magic has an opposite," - Isabel read. - "Ice to fire, light tonight, sun to moon..."
- "The rocks are the opposite of the sun drop," - Varian included.
- "And the scepter of night to the scepter of light," - added Isabel.
- "Well, and?" - Varian urged him to continue reading.
- "Each one cancels out its opposite," - said Isabel.
- "The sun drop should remove the rocks then," - Varian sighed. - "But it didn't."
- "Hmm... have you already tried it?" - Isabel asked.
Varian did not want to remember that moment, but it was projected into his mind, causing him to shiver.
- "Yes." - Varian looked at Isabel. - "But the hair didn't break through."
- "Hair?" - Isabel repeated. - "Isn't it a flower?"
- "You don't know that story?" - Varian was really impressed. - "But who in Corona doesn't know about it?"
Isabel cleared her throat, implying to Varian that she was not from there. Varian got the hint.
- "All right, I'll tell you," - Varian yielded. - "The queen fell severely ill when she was pregnant with Rapunzel, they gave her the flower of the sun drop to cure her, and the baby inherited the power of the sun drop. Her hair could heal and glow when she sang, but an evil witch kidnapped her and locked her in a tower, pretending to be her mother, afraid to show her the outside world. Until Flynn Ryder, I mean, Eugene Fitzherbert, rescued her. Days later the witch kidnapped Rapunzel again, and she had already discovered that she was the lost princess, so she confronted her, but Gothel, the witch's name, tied her up, wanting to take her to another location, then Eugene returned to the tower to save Rapunzel and Gothel stabbed him, they made a deal, blah, blah, blah. The fact is that Eugene cut Rapunzel's hair and died, Rapunzel revived him with tears, and they were happy forever. But! Cassandra, a lovely girl, by the way, took Rapunzel to see the black rocks and her hair grew back. They came to tell me the problem, but everything exploded, and then, days later it happened..." - Varian regarded sadly to his father. - "Well, I tried the flower, but it didn't work, and with the hair, same results."
- "So... do you think that Rapunzel's hair no longer has its magic?" - Isabel asked.
- "No, no" - Varian remembered when Rapunzel won the battle because of the magic of her hair and the rocks. - "But, it is true that now it has different powers. It no longer possesses its healing power, nor does it glow when she sings, but it protected her from certain death, and it reacts with the rocks.
- "It's as if she no longer had the power of the sun drop..." - Isabel whispered thoughtfully, and Varian frowned to indicate that he was not following her. - "But that of the rocks, too!"
- "That doesn't make any sense," - protested Varian.
- "Varian, if there is no light, there is darkness" - said Isabel, Varian was still lost. - "Which means that the light of the sun drop does not exist, only that of the rocks..."
- "That's impossible," - Varian complained. - "But she would have had black hair."
- "What difference does that make?" - Isabel asked.
- "No, it is clear that her hair grew because there was darkness and then the light was missing, the world had to be balanced," - explained Varian.
- "Then how and why, when there was light there was no darkness?" - Isabel replied. - "There is no light; therefore there is only darkness."
- "But, keep in mind, Rapunzel cured Eugene with her tears," - Varian refuted. - "The power of the sun drop remained in her."
- "But, she doesn't have it anymore, remember?" - Isabel asked. - "But she reacts to the rocks."
What Isabel said made sense, but Varian did not want to think that there was no other way to save his father.
- "Light and darkness can not be together," - Isabel continued. - "It's like the scepter of the night and the scepter of light!"
Suddenly a spark of hope flared inside Varian.
- "That's it!!" - he exclaimed, scaring Isabel. - "The scepter of light might break this."
Isabel did not seem very convinced.
- "From what I've read, Maruvian magic has nothing to do with other cultures, I don't think it's a solution" - she said apologetically.
Varian sighed.
- "Not only is this the power of the rocks," - Varian confessed pointing to his father. - "It's also apart of a chemical alloy that I made."
- "What was it composed of?" - Isabel asked.
Varian explained to Isabel his idea of stopping the rocks, and Isabel looking at everything, went to work.
- "What are you doing?" - Varian asked.
- "We'll fix this," - Isabel promised. - "With science."
And with that said they started working. Mixing chemicals waiting for it to work, but nothing worked.
- "What if...?" - Isabel did not want to lose hope if she had lied to Elena and had left without permission, she would get it. - "What if we heat it up so much that its molecules will move so fast that it will explode?"
- "We can try," - Varian responded with discouragement, but they got the same results as before.
- "It's useless," - said, Isabel
She looked at Varian's father and noticed that he was holding something.
- "Varian, look" - Isabel pointed out the letter the boy's father was holding.
- "I'm sorry" - Varian read.
It had more content, but it was the only thing that could be read.
- "I'm sorry, dad" - Varian cried. - "I won't be able to get you out of there. You always told me to be careful with alchemy, that it was dangerous, but I never listened to you, I'm sorry. I paid for it with this princess, with Rapunzel, with Cassandra, with the queen, with all of Corona and it wasn't right." - Varian wiped his tears. - "I'll do something, dad, I'm going to deliver myself to the king, I'll apologize and say that I used Isabel. I want to stop doing evil now. I want you to be proud of me!! And I can't be someone like you, but at least I'll do what's in my ability. I'll return to my only home now, the dungeon. Forgive me, dad, for not being the son you wanted to have."
Isabel was impressed, she wanted to hug Varian, but she stared at him trembling.
- "Come on, Princess Isabel," - Varian indicated. - "The cell awaits me."
He took one last look at where his father resides, and though it was impossible, he saw a proud smile on his lips.
