body and suffer from pain day till night. The more people I swallow, the stronger is my evil power.”
Dr Franklin gazed at God of Evil, seeing its flaming eyes, he replied, “You have misunderstood
us. There is care, love and sharing in family. What you think is…”
“Nonsense! Mankind deserves extinction.” God of Evil yelled with his deepest voice. It turned to
Max and said cruelly, “Max, your fate has no exception. Do join the others and be part of my body.”
It tore open its bloody skin, ready to toss Max in. Dr Franklin knelt in front of God of Evil.
His hopeless eyes looked at it desperately. He begged sincerely, “Please don’t hurt my son. He is
young and innocent. He hasn’t done anything bad to the world. I would be the one to be punished.
Sarah and I would like to sacrifice our lives and be swallowed up in your body, suffering from
pain. Should I make my last and only request to free Max and Nancy?”
Dr Franklin surrendered, dropped all his magical tools. Tears ran down his chin.
As Dr Franklin felt completely desperate, the green beans inside his rucksack started to glow.
They floated up high in the air. Then they settled on Dr Franklin’s hand. Wise Dr Franklin caught
them at once and tossed them towards God of Evil.
God of Evil came to a halt. Paralysed. The glow of love and care shone through its body.
It was the sacrificial love from parents to their children. It was the power of love that moved
God of Evil. His eyes were welling up with tears. His wounds started to heal up. Smooth skin
regenerated, healing its bloody flesh. Silky feathers grew all over his body.
He put Max on the floor gently. Nancy, Sarah and Tirian were released. They cheered and
hugged each other. God of Evil turned into God of Good. He said softly, “You all have changed me.
I will go back to where angels belong and help people in need.”
God of Good hugged all of them and flew away merrily. At that moment, the whole castle
vanished into the thin air. A flourishing forest appeared in front of their eyes. Not long, they
heard footsteps running towards them from far away. A man wearing colorful and thick clothes
embroidered with special patterns was approaching. He was one of the Nomad family members.
He was astonished. “Where have you been? I’ve found you for years! Do you know why an
oasis would suddenly appear in the center of this remote Gobi Desert which is now so lively? It is
really unbelievable!”
The five of them looked at each other and smiled. They all knew the reason in their hearts.
