"Eric, I knew you would come." Xander smiled, acknowledging the arrival of Eric. Eric plopped into the bench beside Xander. "What's this all about?" Eric demanded immediately. "Damsel in distress Eric." Xander replied. "What? And what do you mean?" Eric asked, clearly confused. Xander went on and explained everything to him. "So I really really could use your help Eric." Xander said after his explanation. "Really, how could I be of help? Everyone thinks I'm a fat loser, my own mother even more so." Eric said, his eyes downcast. "Honestly speaking, that's how I saw you too." Xander replied. Eric raised his eyebrows. "That's clearly not the type of motivation I hoped for." He said. "What? You wanted to hear something motivational and inspiring?" Xander asked. "I'm not a motivational speaker Eric but I'm glad to say I've finally gotten to know the new you. You're fat and because you spend most of your time indoors doing nothing but video games everyone thinks you're a loser. But

Xander and Eric stood up immediately and turned round to see the general on the stairs observing them with keen eyes. The man was a middle aged man with a head that was partially bald. He stood tall and straight with broad wide shoulders."Who are you?" He asked in a deep voice that resonated throughout the room.Eric looked at Xander, imploying the latter to answer the question. With just a look at the general, Xander knew that before him was a no nonsense man. This would be a man that would be difficult to reason with."Hi. We are distant relatives of Ariel." Xander began. "We are here to see Ariel please." As Xander said this, he stretched and offered his hand out to The General for a handshake.The general considered Xander's hand with weary eyes and then he reached out tentatively and shook Xander's hand, covering the latter's hand with his huge and hard palm. Xander's ring emitted a faint yellow glow.Eric saw this and looked quickly at the general's face but the man showed no

By the time Xander regained consciousness, he was in a different room.

Xander tested the strains that held him but all was to no avail. The strains held fast and there was just nothing he could do to break free.With that Xander began to survey his prison carefully. The room looked like it was a study or a mini library with three shelves containing books and a table at the far side of the room with books upon it and a chair beside. Xander assumed it to be the general's personal room, his study.As Xander sat there observing the room wearily, the door swung open and the general walked in wearing long bathroom robes. A smirk went on the general's face as he made his

"You mean the Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency?" Xander asked. He was immediately shocked after saying that. How did he know about that? It must be the ring again playing its tricks, Xander thought."Yes. That's the same disease." The man replied. "A very rare and dangerous one. My father has been suffering with it for a long time now and you're not the first person who would try to cure him.""Is this even curable?" Xander asked, his brows furrowing with concern.The man shrugged. "Well that's left for you to find out." He replied. "And remember, you could be made richer than you've ever imagined or you could be a dead man soon. Depending on your results anyway."Xander's eyes widened in surprise. This was not what he had signed up for. He hadn't heard the details of this deal before he was forced to sign it! Xander began to doubt whether his ring would save him out of this one. He steadied himself and decided that he would do what he could to return safely."I'll heal your fa
