Chapter 5: The plans for another
The setting is 250 years later.Peace is now called Hoinhiem by everyone except
myself, so don't get confused. They now live in a city Dante founded after she
became immortal. The city is called Crimson Way, the future city that will be
under Central. Dante has switched bodies numerous times now. Her present body
is middle-aged with black hair, green eyes and a beauty mark at the corner of her
mouth. Dante can no longer make the seven heavenly traits incarnate anymore
because she is purely evil now. She intends to incarnate Love, but ends up with
something else.
Dante told Peace that she was going out today. "What do you need to go out for? "
He asked. They had been together for over 250 years, and he still cared for her.
" If you must know, I'm going to the library to look for books on how to create red
stones." Dante, on the other hand, didn't care as much, since he was a
homunculus. " Why do you need to do that for? I don't need them." " There not for
you! " she retorted," I intend to create another homunculus. The circle is already
completed, the ingredients are ready in the room, and I have read on how to bypass
human for human material law with the philosopher's stone. I need to find out how
to make red stones! " Peace looked a little flustered by the outburst, but gained the
composure that can only be bestowed on a creature who's name is Peace.
"I'm sorry Dante.What will the homunculus be?"
Dante thought for a minute, then said," Come with me to the library.
As they walked, Peace couldn't help but admire the city, then thought
about the shame of losing it.Oh well, he thought, this is Dante's city, she can do
what she wants with. He was jolted from his thinking by a girl who came to them.
"Mr.Hoinhiem! Your voilet seeds came! Here you go! " "Why thank you Diana."
As the little girl left, Dante couldn't help but smirk at Peace and say," Voilets eh?
Did suddenly take an interest in gardening?" Peace smiled, then said," They
remind me of you." Dante blushed and walked a little farther. The structure known
as the library,which looked more like a Greek temple\Dome of the Rock,hardly
looked like a library. You see, the city of Crimson Way was an alchemist paradise.
School's, a giant library, and a chain of command, was meant mostly for alchemist.
Why you ask? Because alchemist made a philosopher' s stone stronger. Anyway,
when they reached the library, Peace asked Dante again," Ummm, Dante, you
still haven't answered my question. What is the homunculus going to be?"
"That is why your here." She showed him, or rather, pulled him to a table that was
secluded. " When I pulled you from the gate, you said you were called Peace by the
gate, right?" He nodded." Well that means there had to be others. Now you tell me
who they are and what their abilities are." He began slowly," Sorry Dante, but in
exchange for coming to this world from inside the gate, I had to give up most of my
memories. But, one of the memories I do still have is one of the traits called Love. I
believe that her ability is whomever she kisses, becomes enslaved to her." Dante
thought for a second, then said," If that is all you remeber, it will have to do. Tell
me what he or she looked liked." "Well, she had long brown hair, red eyes and
peach skin. I guess that is why the gate called her Love." " Okay, that's the one
I'll make then." The plans were set; next week, Dante would make another
homunculus.
