"Well, that turned out to be a waste of time…" Edward Elric said feeling rather disheartened. The two boys had had enough of being let down. For Alphonse's sake, he hoped they would find more info on the Philosopher's stone soon. Sometimes, the only thing that kept the Elric brothers going was their hope. Hope that they would find the stone at last.

As the boys walked through the long streets of Denzel, it became apparent that the sun was getting hotter. Sweat dripped off of Edward's face onto the scorching road before quickly evaporating. They were truly getting SICK of this so called "paradise town".

Then, unexpectedly, as if out of nowhere: it happened. Alphonse could sense that they were being watched again. As the brothers walked through the street, the presence of their stalkers was becoming more and more noticeable. Even Edward could tell something was up.

"Brother?" Al spoke.

"…What?" Ed questioned, this time not ignoring his little brother.

Before Alphonse could speak, he saw three figures in an alley. The path was dark and shadow infested, so it was hard to tell…But Al could defiantly make out three figures.

"Look…in that alley, brother!"

Edward looked, and made out the figures with ease.

The Homunculi; Lust, Gluttony, and…

…And who? The final homunculus couldn't be determined. The boys looked at each other, both realizing what would happen next. Within seconds, they had bolted down the alleyway. ~
