Father smirked at him as globs tumbled out his stomach, impossibly coalescing into humans.
Hoenheim stood shocked as he recognized the people he knew from Xerxes "birthed" again after hundreds of years. Seeing them smiling at him… taunting him with their very concreteness.
They weren't real in the ways that mattered.
Xerxes was dripping, the skin peeling and one eye missing, although he thought he was immortal. And there were his fellow slaves, beaming, showing off their new bodies to him. But they wouldn't last. A snap of Father's fingers or a puff of wind would blow them away forever.
So many ideas from this final confrontation...!
