Equivalent Exchange: Episode 3--Crimson Eternal

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, okay then. I hope that I could be of service, Alphonse."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al heads out to the front and looks around for Laura, Rose, and Elysia, figuring that the latter two might have come here when they found out that this is where Scieszka works and hoping to share his findings with the former.

 

[Raylis]

Elysia places the flowers on Maes' grave, lingering a moment before standing up "He had a lot of work left to do." the girl murmers "He was supposed to come home."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim quietly follows Al, his task complete. He looks around for Laura, wondering if the woman's patience had lasted this long.

 

[unleashed]

Elysia places the flowers on Maes' grave, lingering a moment before standing up "He had a lot of work left to do." the girl murmers "He was supposed to come home."

*Finishing her prayer, Rose stands and places a hand comfortingly on Elysia’s shoulder.*

“Well my dear, god often calls the best people back before they have done all they wish in this life, away from those who need their strength and compassion, even though we don’t understand the reason. Of course, those capable of mastering Alchemy can help to avert the evils in the world that take these people from us, and in the process perhaps even overcome their own tragedy.”

"It can also create things like the bastard who killed him.

Lust had considered many things while waiting for this new Alphonse to return. How she sometimes thought that Envy's ability to blend in was entirely wasted on it. Envy was too unhinged anyway. She thought of trying to seduce some information out of people. But Hawkeye would probably prove difficult on that juncture. No, her best chance was to do what she was good at---lie low, appear to be helpful, while all along nudging things in the right direction. Both Al and now this Miller were examples of something that was not Human Transmutation, but something that seemed to have the true effect, the wanted effect.

And she had to know how it was done.

Thus, she kept quiet and waited. Waited for them to return. When Selim and the echo of Fullmetal Alchemist's past emerged, 'Laura' smiled her enigmatic smile and innocently asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

 

[Dire Lemming]

Alphonse looks worried when he first sees Laura, but seeing her smile makes him smiles back. "Yes, and I found out some things about Tucker... Apparently he... he made a talking chimera by transmuting a little girl and a dog... I don't know though. It seems like the chimera is still the only connection... If Miller hadn't supposedly died in Ishbal this would make allot more sense. She might know something about it. Didn't Hawkeye stop her from talking before? I think I need to talk to her again."

"It can also create things like the bastard who killed him.

“Oh, that’s terrible, Elysia... I’m sorry, I had no idea how your father died. Of course, most things can be turned to a darker purpose, my dear... Alchemy is certainly not alone in that regard. As in the end, it all depends on the intent of the person with the knowledge.”

Rose then smiles and says, “Well, shall we return and see if Al has finished his research?”

 

[Raylis]

"Yeah, if he's not we can wait outside or something." the girl says heading out of the cemetary
