October, 1707 "That's it?" (Envy's voice)
"Yes... what were you expecting?"(Dante's voice)
"I was expecting a big fat guy actually to tell you the truth."(Envy's voice)
"Wow, this thing is cool. Can I hold it?" (Greed's voice)
Two Homunculus and their master stood croutched down around a small basket. What the basket held was of interest: A tiny newborn with red markings down its neck to its wrists. It was covered by clean white blankets and was sleeping.
Dante looked at Greed. "Not right now. He's resting"
Greed pouted. He wanted to hold the lastest homunculus. "So this means the seven deadly sins are finally complete"
Dante nodded. "Yes, this is the last embodyment of sin. The sin of over indulgence: Gluttony"
"Hey where you find a baby anyway? Raided a cemetary? I certainly wasn't informed." Envy asked.
"Dante shook her head. "He wasn't born from a baby or any human. He is the only true homunculus. I created him from simply the ingredients of life, he is not in the mold of any man"
Envy was shocked. He never even thought about the possibility of a homunculus made in the image of no one. "I see... Not able to find any dead person you like enough to try to bring back...hmmm... too bad"
Dante shook her head again. "No. You misunderstand. Gluttony needed to be designed. Manufactured for the reason of producing red stones and maybe one day a complete Philosopher's Stone. The human body is much too flawed I had to perfect it for that reason alone. When he matures he will have no emotions... just the desire to accomplish his reason for being." She smiled and caressed the newborn."He'll become a perfect soldier. Only knowing how to follow orders and being a ruthless eater of humans. For that reason I have givin him the title of "The Ultimate Predator.
"So he's a cannible? Creepy." Greed said crossing his arms.
"He's not human so he isn't a cannible." She replied.
"That's true. Greed nodded. "So what exactly his power since I don't think eating people counts as one"
"If he develops as predicted he'll be able to devour and break through any material of this world... with his mouth. He has other features of interest but they aren't truly powers: Night vision, pours able to leak red water, and sense of smell sereral times as powerful as a human.. there are others much less noticeable." Dante responded.
"Heh, that's cool... Hey little guy, you better not eat my lady friends." Greed chuckled and poked Gluttony's side. The newborn moved a bit and made a small whimper.
Greed was entertained by the newborn. It was adorable and innocent. If it wasn't for Dante standing next to him he'd run off with it.
"Hey ultimate moron stop poking it you'll wake him up!" Envy yelled at Greed.
"Your loud mouth going to wake him up more than my poking, Freak!" Greed yelled back.
The both began to argue pointlessly with each other. Gluttony slept through it all, he wasn't ready to give up his rest for those two. This was but the begining for him... The begining of a whole new adventure for all of them: the adventure of raising a child.
