He always wondered “Why all these unhealthy behavior, why all this desire to do evil? Why all this wanton feelings?” – Allen found no answer to these questions , but one thing was sure enough, he was no longer Philips Allen, he was now Aragon Allen.
Granny stood at the garden and pondered gravely about Allen’s condition. He thought earnestly where he had met someone that had similar red-eyes like Allen’s, but the certainty was blurred. He thought about the legend: no, he thought about Aragon , but Aragon didn’t have red-eyes , then like a snap he remembered clearly – Michel’s body on close observation was said to have blood-shot eyes after his death, and he was very sure that Aragon had killed Michel. Reality hit him hard, and the words crept back slowly into his memory – the very words he told Allen.
.reality hit him hard , the very words slowly crept into his memory – the very words he told Allen:
“Aragon is coming back, but is searching for a soul of his lineage to possess”
The clarity of the words and its connection to Allen’s recent behavior was enough fact to justify the claim. It was clear and evident –
A jolt of fear shot through the old man. Steadily and slowly like a woman in labour he walked into his room and lay quietly. The night was still!

Allen and Kimball crossed the busy Showbiz area to the country side were the atmosphere was quiet and still . Allen decided to let Kimball see his eyes during their outings the day before. Kimball was sorry for him and pleaded for her past actions which were not all that considered right by her, but with Allen, that was nothing , it could had happen to anyone.
“You know what Al?
Allen shook his head. The cool breeze blew into their faces, the country side was very quiet except for the sounds of chirping birds.
“Mum told me something yesterday , she said my dad is a descendant of one of your father’s wife”
“But i know that already ,… That’s why you’re my cousin” Allen replied placardly.
“She also said our ancestors where not in peace with yours and that my association with you could bring disaster.”
“She thinks so?” Allen asked with detest.
“Yea, she …and…i don’t…” She trailed off.
“Well maybe its true then, so you can keep off from me now, guess its time we say goodbye” Allen finished gravely as the tears stood in her eyes.
