[Western Crossover] Eli Can Still Be Saved

In the darkness, Elias sat surrounded by countless phantoms.

▇: We have a few questions for you.

E: Ask away.

▇: Do you have magical hair? Can you use magic?

E: ...? I guess? I have an alter ego that can turn into nonhuman creatures.

▇: Do animals talk to you?

E: One of my alter egos can.

▇: Have you ever been poisoned?

E: It wasn't exactly poisoning. I have a congenital genetic disorder.

▇: Or been cursed?

E: I've even died once.

▇: Kidnapped?

E: That was my younger brother.

▇: Finally, is it true that a few strong men can solve any problem?

E (thinking of his family of vigilantes): How did you know?

▇: Guards! Welcome Princess Elias! (Applause)

E: ?

E: Is Disney really not going to send you a lawsuit?

Elias died.

Then Elias came back to life.

The living Elias realized he didn't seem to be entirely alive. At the very least, he shouldn't have been half-transparent and floating around like this.

Then Elias realized that today was his funeral.

All right, here's the problem: how was he supposed to tell his poor old dad, "Wait a second, there's still hope for me"?

*Eli is short for Elias.

*It's sort of a secret identity story, but also not.

*The male lead dies from the start.

*No romance. Eli's still a kid.jpg

The characters belong to their creators. The OOC is mine.

No logic, chaotic timeline, don't think too hard. I'm writing this for love, on a whim. It won't be paywalled. Please don't give me writing advice.

If I think of anything else I need to disclaim, I'll come back and add it (?).
