Truth within the Truth
After Mustang listed all of the battles
Al connected the dots
"That Bastard!" Hohenheim shouted.
Everyone looked at the transmutation circle that Al had drawn on the map
"But why?"
OoO
"This is impossible, How could this happen right under my nose!" yelled Mustang
"This transmutation…" Alphonse sat there looking at the map trying to comprehend what he had discovered
"This transmutation circle looks like a summoning gate" said Izumi trying to also work out what was happening
"What is that big that it needs a transmutation circle that covers a whole Nation?" asked Hawkeye looking concern at everyone in the room
"Matanabe" said Hohenheim only now everyone noticed the man's fists clenched and shaking, his expression was like he was about to faint but his eyes were narrow and filled with anger starring at the piece of paper sitting innocently on the table.
"Matanabe?" asked Al looking at Hohenheim waiting for him to enlighten him
"Matanabe doesn't exist it's a myth a childhood bedtime story" scoffed Mustang
"Matanabe is no myth Mustang!" snapped Hohenheim spinning around to face the Colonel eyes blazing with anger teeth clenched fists still held tightly by the man's side.
"I heard the stories but I never thought" Izumi sunk into a near by chair shock in her voice
The rooms atmosphere was tense it was suffocating
"What is Matanabe?" finally Al asked
Hohenhiem took a steady but still slightly shaky breath trying to calm himself, after a few seconds he finally spoke.
"Matanabe…" he began "was a fierce creature from an ancient time."
