"Uncle Oscar?" Archie asked as he looked at his uncle in utter shock.

Archie's uncle walked slowly up to Archie with a kind smile on his face and then he put his hand on the side of Archie's face. Archie then immediately pulled his uncle into a hug.

"I missed you so much" Archie sobbed.

"I missed you too, kiddo" Uncle Oscar said as he then looked at Archie.

"Gosh. You've grown up so fast" Uncle Oscar then said as he looked at how tall Archie was. Archie then smiled.

Uncle Oscar then slowly led Archie down the hallway and past the ICU.

"How are you here? I thought you'd be up in heaven with Grandpa Artie?" Archie said as he looked at Uncle Oscar with a bit of confusion.

"I asked God if I could come down and guide you" Uncle Oscar said.

Archie then stopped walking. Uncle Oscar then did the same thing.

"Guide me to what?" Archie asked.

"The decision that you need to make in order to either return to your family or to leave everything behind and come up to heaven" Uncle Oscar said.

Archie then looked at his Uncle with a worried look.

"I know it's a lot to take in and believe me, it was difficult for me too. But God believes that you're not ready to decide yet" Uncle Oscar said as him and Archie then kept walking.

"Why does he think that I'm not ready to make a decision?" Archie asked.

"Honestly. I have no clue but he's asked me to guide you through this" Uncle Oscar said as he then stopped walking. Then Archie stopped walking.

Uncle Oscar then gestured to the left and then Archie looked at where Uncle Oscar was gesturing to and then he saw a door with a runic symbol from Gryphons and Gargoyles.

"No. I said that I'm done with this game" Archie said as he stood back.

"You have to do it Archie" Uncle Oscar said as he then looked at Archie.

"Why? Why do I need to do it?" Archie then asked, sounding slightly frustrated.

"You want to go back to your family don't you?" Uncle Oscar asked.

Archie then sighed before looking at the door. He then walked forwards and grabbed the door handle. He then turned his head and looked at his Uncle.

"Go on, Archie" Uncle Oscar said, gesturing for Archie to go in.

Archie then looked back at the door and then opened it and walked through.
