"You can't stay here anymore, I'm sorry Crowny" the white bearded man said. Those were the last words the elf dressed in green and red heard. Crowny was kicked out of the Arctic Heaven.

The elf's head starts to spin round and round; as he tries to keep his brain focused on the road. His eye starts moving slowly, up and down, then, right to left. His feet, they keep losing track. Crowny's little body starts trembling, nothing but shudder. He takes a deep look trying to see in front of him, but all he sees, is white points covering his eye. White points everywhere caused of dizziness.The miserable elf falls slowly on the grassy ground. Crowny gets a horrible headache and a flashback starts as he faints.

The child fixed his eyes on the elf's. The elf tried fixing his eye on the child's too, but he couldn't. The elf, him, didn't see the kid except one time of two. He had one blind eye, him. He was bothered here. One stupid detail. He had only one eye and the kid had two; he didn't know which eye he would plant on his. He hesitated, and his eye started jumping: right-left, left-right. He was horribly uncomfortable. Later, a tear appeared; not from grief but impotence and anger. The kid did one bizarre thing. Which calmed the elf down and made him get his confidence back. He closed one eye. Few minutes later, the elf said his first words: " What's wrong kid? Why are you doing this?". The kid replied calmly: "Why do you have one eye?". The elf said, with a tear that went down from the scar from his eye, but this time not from powerlessness or anger, yet smiling: "I gave a kid my eye as a present for Christmas, boy! It was his wish to be able to see the other half of life again, that's why I was also kicked from Santa's workplace, I couldn't see the other half after I gave him my eye.". Silence dominated the area for about half an hour when, the kid moved his head in a way to tell the elf to follow him. They went inside, entered a room whose door had a 'Keep Out' sign then the kid said: "Magdacrapotrica!". The elf was confused, it wasn't a word though. Suddenly, three genes appeared from nowhere. The kid was silent for a moment, he seemed hesitating. He looked at one of the genies and said: "I order you to take my eye and give it to this elf here instead of his blind one and give me his, he taught me how to sacrifice for others' happiness. And I bet I can do the same." He stopped for a moment then continued: "Power means happiness; power means hard work and sacrifice. He gave a lot to others just to make them happy and I am willing to give as much as he did.
