Summary: But that old bastard Hoenhiem wasn't supposed to keep fighting.
Warnings: major spoilers
His body shakes, deep labored breaths are taken, and his entire body is lit up in a rose color as the stone pools throughout his body. His stomach churns with the same ferocity as hurricane would across the great Xingese Sea. His torso burns as the blood and stone in his body flow faster than any live human could sustain. He can feel his heart beating at the same pace as a Drachman race horse.
"Let us out!"
But he has to sustain it. He can't let that old worthless human get the better of him. He's been working for hundreds of years so that everything could boil down to this moment. But that old bastard Hoenhiem wasn't supposed to keep fighting. He was supposed to be on his knees, crying for all that were lost due to his own uselessness.
"Let us out!"
He tries to hold his resolve, to hold all of it in. The energy throughout his body is decreasing as the philosopher's stone fights to leave him. It's his energy against everyone else's, but he should be able to manage; he has the power of god.
"Let us out!"
Then he feels it, the pulsing, echoing together, in his head, in his heart, and at the bottom of his stomach. He feels them right at his opening, their energy greater than his own, building, working together to be released.
"Let us out!"
And then everything he worked for the last hundreds years explodes out of him.
