Allen was wandering in the woods with a lantern. He scanned the stars in the sky but could not find the blue star. Sennen arrived even when he didn't make a wish.
"Konbanwa Allen Walker." Sennen said. "I have found you."
"I knew you'd come, but… I didn't even make my wish yet." Allen said.
"Well, I know when I'm needed. Your father, the King, is sick." Sennen said.
"Yes. And if you don't help her with magic, she'll die." Allen pleaded.
"I can tell that you love your mother very much, Allen. But fairy magic is the purest magic of all. And, alas, cheating death is the darkest of undertakings." Sennen said.
"Please… You can't just let Father die." Allen said.
"It is the way of the world." Sennen said.
"There has to be something you can do." Allen noticed Sennen's demeanor change. "Yes. There is. You're just not telling me. What is it? Please."
"I may be able to conjure a remedy using a type of magic that is forbidden, except under the most dire of circumstances. You must promise to keep this a secret. No one must ever know." Sennen said.
"Yes. Yes, anything. Just help Father." Allen extended his hand.
Sennen magically conjured an odd looking candle, which appears in Allen's hand. "This candle is infused with magic that can save your father's life. But all magic, especially magic this powerful, comes with a price."
"What is it?" Allen asked, leaning forward.
"In order for one to live… Another must die." Sennen said.
"I don't understand." Allen was confused.
"To salvage a life beyond hope means breaking the laws of nature. So if you are to save a life, then you must lose one in return." Sennen said.
"But who must die?" Allen asked.
"That is for you to decide. You must hold this candle over the heart of your sacrifice and whisper their name. And, when the candle is lit, that person's life will be traded for your Father's." Sennen said.
"All he ever wanted was for me to be good. I can't trade someone else's life for his." Allen said.
"Then I'm afraid he will die." Sennen said.
All the time, Sennen was smiling.
