*JOHN CARL's POV*

She'll leave me soon. If I can just fly there to their dimension, I will absolutely find another way to save us.

But sorry to myself. I'm mortal and can't do anything to keep her beside me.

I groan in pain as I get myself up from my bed. I cupped my forehead as I shriek my eyes. Damn this hangover!

I force my self to stand and went out from my room. What is this woman doing again? The last day, she woke up screaming my name and tell me she's pregnant and I'm the father. And now, walking back and forth while speaking in different language. If I'm not mistaken, it's their language.

I throw the sofa pillow at her to come up with her senses.

"What's with you again?" I get my self a coffee, "You're crazy again."

"You do know you have a birthmark at your upper left back?"

"Huh? I never have a birthmark." Then it reminds me of those days that I am shouting in pain every time my back is aching in fire. I never told mom, as if on cue, shell just over act and send me to the hospital.

"I am not blind to see that you have a birthmark." She build a two human size mirror in front and back of me.

"So I do have a birthmark?!" I amazingly look at her and suddenly, my face sadden when I look intently at her eyes.

"I already found the Cassiopeia Key, John Carl."

Then my tears started to fall.

"Great job! I know you can find it," I stopped my voice not to crack. I'm scared. Now that she'll leave me.

"Can I see the key?" I can't explain what um feeling but, I started to feel a fast beat in my heart. Geez!

"J-john—"

In no reason, I yelled at her, "What now Hallie! You're silence means bad news! Spill it!" I brushed my hair.

"The key is on your body John Carl! Don't yell at me because I don't want to see you suffer in pain!"

My knee tremble in disbelief. "W-what?"

"Don't make me repeat my self."

"But how?"

"Didn't I tell you about the key? Its changing its location. At your 7th age, its current location is in the stomach of a shark. When that shark died, it transfered to your skin."

T-that's—"That's why you're back is feeling burn out, every one year is done."

My eyes started to blink slowly and heavy, "John Carl!"
