After vanishing in a booming flash of light, Alan and Menaro found themselves in what appears to be a room with a table, a makeshift bed, a chest and a stone well but instead of wood the walls are appearing to be made of stone as if this place was more of a cave than a room.

"Where are we?" Alan asked with curiosity.

"My sanctuary in the mountain of Thamora which is in the kingdom of Galidora, your kingdom."

"Wait did you say my kingdom?"

"Yes but not yet."

"What do you mean not yet?" Alan did not understand any of it.

"Come to this well." Menaro instructed. "And I will show you."

So as they went closer to the well, Menaro raise his staff and waved it over the well speaking in some strange language that is unknown. Suddenly the ripples of the well's water showed an image like if it was some type of wet motion picture as the image was shown as a man in fine clothing and a circlet crown of silver and gold studded with emeralds as the face was a spitting image of Alan's but in early thirties.

"Who is this?" Alan asked.

"This is Galren, king of Galidora and your father."

Alan was beyond surprised that the king he sees is his real biological father, and then the image of his father changed into a young beautiful girl with long dark brown hair and blue eyes in commoners clothing.

"Is this... my mother?"

"Yes." Menaro explained. "Her name Lenara, although a peasant girl she is blessed with kindness as well as beauty and that had stolen your father's heart, he and your mother had grown to love each other so much that they would be married despite the protests from the nobles mostly from Daegor."

"Daegor?" Alan arched an eyebrow.

"He is your father's brother and advisor who's dark heart had been burned with a fierce ambition to be the next king." Alan didn't like where it was going as Menaro continued. "When you were born, I came to your parents and warned them of the fates that they will face so I devised a plan to keep you safe when you are old enough to take back your rightful place as King of Galidora."

Now that Alan had learned how he came to the other world, he now asked a question that would make him reacted emotionally.

"What happen to my parents?" As he noticed Menaro looking down.

"The castle was attacked by your uncle with the army from a nobleman of Brune named Duke Felix Aaron Thenardier in exchange for the hand of the Duke's sister Circe Thenardier in marriage and after he took the castle, he... had your mother and father executed."

Grief and anger had engulfed Alan as he closed both his fists while his eyes are streaming down and his mouth breathing as he growled one word.

"Bastard."

But he quickly overcome his reaction but seemed determined to have his vengeance but before Alan could say something, Menaro said to him.

"He will pay but not right now, Aleran."

"Wait my name is Alan."

"Ron and Nancy gave you that name but your true name is Aleran."

"Well I preferred to be called Alan but I'll let you call me by that name."

"Very well, Aleran." Menaro agreed.

"How do I take back Galidora?" Alan wondered. "I mean obviously I needed an army right?"

"Yes but you will need more than just an army, you will need to prove yourself as the true king of Galidora in courage, leadership, justice and honor."

"But how can I prove myself? I mean I don't know where to begin?!" Alan almost overwhelmed with doubts.

"Where you will start is the civil war between the kingdoms of Brune and Zhcted." As Alan was about to asked, Menaro quickly answered. "And the side you will be joining is Zhcted."

"But how will I convinced them that I am the true king of Galidora?"

"You shall tell them "Menaro sent me" and you will show them the sword."

"What sword?"

Before answering Alan's question, Menaro went to a chest and while he was opening it, the old man asked him.

"In your childhood, you always dreamed of becoming the next King Arthur yes?"

"Yea." Alan answered suspiciously while arching an eyebrow.

"Well you can't be the next King Arthur without an Excalibur now, can you?"

Menaro presented a fine sword to Alan, the blade was long and broad as the hand guard was well curved, it was also encrusted with a round emerald in the center and as for the handle, it can be used for a one handed or two handed weapon.

"This is Grendor, a blade once wielded by the chief warrior of the Tu-ra, an ancient race that left Galidora centuries ago before man came, this blade can cut through anything that is mortal or immortal and this was once found and wielded by your ancestor who was the first king to unite all of Galidora and was also my friend."

"Friend?!" Alan was at disbelieve that Menaro once befriended his ancestor who was centuries before he was even born. "How old are you exactly?"

"Well it's hard to believe that I am actually immortal." It surprised Alan even more. "I will tell you someday but not now, anyway before he passed away he told me to keep it and to be sure that Grendor should be giving to one of his descendants that are worthy to wield it."

"So... its me?"

"Yes." Menaro answered and explained. "On the day you were born, the sword had awoken and I knew that you would be the worthy successor of the blade, now take it."

Alan hesitated for a moment and as his hand was near the hilt, the blade glowed brightly which Alan almost jumped and as he looked at the immortal mystic, he nodded at him as encouragement and so Alan touched the hilt as a sudden urge is within his grasp. With that he hold it with both hands and raise it up in the air, feeling the light weight of the sword and as Alan was about to asked more about the sword's power.

"You will find out for yourself in time."

"Will you be coming with me?"

"My place is in the sanctuary but I will contact you from the well, may your path be the right one my prince, farewell."

"Farewell, Menaro."

And so Menaro waved his staff as Alan now vanished without a trace thus his quest to reclaim the throne of Galidora has begun.
