In this episode, we continue exploring The Alchemist, focusing on the Crystal Merchant, a reluctant mentor who teaches the boy the hidden costs of fear and inaction. While the boy seeks to fulfill his personal legend, the Crystal Merchant clings to the dream of Mecca, fearing that achieving it will leave him with nothing. This powerful contrast highlights the courage required to pursue one’s dreams versus the comfort of merely dreaming.
