Jean pet his companion, Black Hayate on the head. "Really its been a good five months, where's the creatures go"
Suddenly Jean seem to feel something, like when you were being watch by someone or something. He look up to the skys as Black Hayate did seconds before him. It was no later than two in the afternoon but the sky when black, the sun seemed to be blocked somewhat by a layer of who knows what.
He ran towards the closest entrance which had many soldiers piling out wanting to figure out the event that was currently underway. It wasn't a eclypse but a mild blockage of the Sun as though a very thin and dark layer of cloud covered all the sky.
Jean stopped and looked up but something almost smashed him, mysteriously Gluttony had come from the sky... though really he had just got irritated with the blocked exits and had jumped out of a high window he had managed to fit himself through. "Hey, Glut, what's up?"
Gluttony pointed to the sky. "That is much up. The sky feels like a super sized stone."
Havoc had no idea what Gluttony was refering to so he simply nodded.
Gluttony was so memorised by the sky that he didn't even realize Black Hayate was sniffing the air around his legs. Homunculi and even some humans could sense red stones or the true Philosopher's Stone; This felt like it, but not the same. It was like a mass of energy was somewhere in the air. Gluttony decided to follow his instincts and find the source.
He waddle towards the desert and Jean followed behind assuming Gluttony had some grip on the event going on... plus if Riza knew he had just watch him leave without following him she'd probably shoot him literally.
By the time they reached something the sky had return to normal but something much more interesting was in view and it was enormous!
It was like nothing he had ever seen, a bird at least twice the height of a human was flying very low in the air. Its body was covered in dark, almost black, feathers. It had a visible crest of feathers that was thick, covering the sides of its small head, they were multicolored much like flames and shined in the bright sun. Was this a Phoenix? A bird of legend? Or what it just a really well made Chimera?
After Jean stared at it in pure awe for a few minutes he had to wonder where Gluttony had gone. "GAHHHH, YOU MORON GET AWAY FROM THAT THING!"
The homunculus hadn't been so awe driven as his human counterpart, driven by pure curiousity he had walk right up this this enormous beast. He had no fear of any bird so this was no exception, he sniffed at it... it smelled much like a quail... a bit like a chicken aswell.
The bird seemed to ignore Gluttony as it laid on the sand, probably too hot under its feathers to move any further.
Gluttony wondered if he could eat this thing, it would make a wonderous meal; Quail and Chicken was rather good. But Lust words rang well "Gluttony, you shouldn't put things in your mouth if you're not certain what they are." and he didn't know exactly what this was.
But being as intelligent as he was this thought didn't bother him for very long so he open his jaws, but suddenly the bird thing made a purring noise and walked forward and sat once again like if it had known of Gluttony's attempt.
This continued for a short while, all with Jean looking over in shock and being so lost at the homunculus' action he didn't even know how to react himself. All he could think of is how Gluttony was going to eat that when it clearly was too large to fit in his body. "Wait... CrescentBIRD may Bird with a Crest... THIS THING!" Jean made the mathmatical conclusion, this was what he was suppose to look for... but how in the name of all that was holy was he going to bring it in?
