Martin found a Jewel of Odan while rummaging through his
grandparents attic after they passed away. The duty was left to him as the
oldest grandson and because he is a successful businessman. Therefore it was
felt by the family that Martin was the most qualified to manage handling the
estate.
The Jewel of Odan was only a rumor, a story told by Martin’s
grandparents. The whole family knew Martin’s grandparents were pulling their
legs when they told the story of a magical jewel that transformed a man into
the woman of his dreams. But the jewel was true. It looked exactly as it was
described to Martin many times.
Martin placed the Jewel of Odan in his left palm, wrapped
his fingers around it, and closed his eyes. The weight of always handling family
affairs was too much for Martin. When any financial matter or difficult
decision needed to be made Martin was put on the spot to fix everything. The
weight was more than he could bear. Martin dreamed of the most beautiful woman he
could think of. When he opened his eyes he was Marie. He took a deep breath
knowing family matters would still fall on his shoulders, but at least now he
would carry out his duties as the person he knew he always was.
