Little chat: Wow, Sixth Chapter already? Once again, wow! Usually, I can't stand until five chapters! Hip hip hooray! Speaking of OCs…Does they look like a Marie Sue? I'm afraid they close to Marie Sue, since they have 'otherworldly' powers. I must explain to you, it's normal, since some of my OC even not a human. What race they are from, I'll not telling you for now. But I make sure their identities will discover soon. Oh, And from this chapter we'll have little crossovers. Guess who will appear in this chapter. Thank you very much for Kurisuta who have read the story and told the story is awesome. I'm also enjoying your story, please keep up- date til the end. :D Also, thank you for whoever that has read, favorite, and reviews this story. Without them, I'm totally a piece of junk. Enjoy the trip, Ladies and gentlemen. ;)
Last chapter :
I can't say a word. Is he didn't know that he's be watching by Wrath and Pride in Central? Yet he's still risk himself to ring and warned me? Ouch, I feel guiltier to him than before! What should I do?
"Brother…" my tongue numb as made from metal, not fleshes. I wish I can tell him and the others…
"Sri, I beg to you, just this one. Be honest to me, or I can't protect you and your friends!"
CHAPTER VI: Pertempuran dan Dia…/The Battle and Him…
Now I'm in big trouble. If this normal situation, I will gladly tell him everything I know. As if! I mean, will you believe someone you not really close, one day she or he said to you that she or he is not from this world and has weird ability! I do hate lying, yet when it's came for this kind of matter, do I have many choices?
Suddenly I hit by a possibly fact. I am feeling panic. Very panic, almost near hysterical. No way I'm not panic. I never have been this messed before! Read from the manga, after his battle versus Lust, he was seeing by Wrath as a potential human sacrifice. In other words, he's under homunculus eyes now! And we have a big possibility they watching him via Pride. No, Pride can move free around Central and tunnel. He can't reach me. The fatal problem is, he's watching Big Brother contact me! Do you want me to risk his neck more over by find our secrets and fact we're know everything what will coming in future?
I feel very bad to him, but when you are targeted by dangerous creature like 'Father', are you still wanted to communicate with the potential person they can hurt? Talking with Big Brother is out from opinions! I have to cut off the conservation! I wonder what took Major Miles so long. I hoped he came earlier from his business, so I have no reason to stay longer in his office!
"I'm sorry, Brother. I can't tell you anything. Not yet. This was not the perfect time."
"Sri, it's not the time..!" I interjected him fast. There's something had bothering me and that is…
"Big Brother, who said to you that we've been search?"
"Can you at least worry about your condition…!" He snapped frustation.
"Brother, calm down. I want to check something…"
"No, I can't calm down. Not while you haven't explain me about the treat. And why would you want to know whose the person who gave the order to search you! You're a civilian, you'll get more trouble if you know! This has nothing to do with you!"
I started to lose my control. My tension arose. "Actually it has, Big Brother. And I'm not going to ignore this again." I raised my voice. "Do you think I didn't know that the one after us are homunculus?"
He gasps silently. "H-How…How did you?" he lost his word.
I sighing, calming myself before I continue the conservation. "It's doesn't matter how or when me and my friends know. We have a reason for not tell you." My voice went serious. "Listen Big Brother, I'm so sorry, again, for I can't tell you. This is not the right time. You being watching by them in Central, and calling here will make them alarmed to both of us."
"Sri…"
"Brother, you're in Central, you've battled one homunculus and next you're got an extra watching from other homunculus. You can't go anywhere far from Central. You can't do anything recklessly now. Different matter goes to me. I have already in outside their main territory. They can't reach me in short time, just a matter of time. For your information, Big Brother, they're will not and can't take us down so easily. Don't underestimate us. We are 'normal' yet not. We face more danger than you can imagine. We can protect our self and fight them if we want. For now our priority is to go far away from their hands. This place is safe for temporary. The time we will leave this place definitely will come, sooner or later. At that time I can't communicate to you anymore. This maybe the last time we can talk through phone." I explained long way, rolling my eyes. "It seems you'll not answer my question, I have to change it."
My eyes went narrow. "Is Wrath aka Fuhrer King Bradley who told you that they're search after us?"
No reply from him, but from the noise in phone I sure he's almost stop breathing.
"How far did you know about this?"
"You don't want to know."
"Is this another reason why they're after you?"
"Yes. This is just the beginning. They'll after us until the Promise Day."
"You know this far and yet you didn't tell me anything? Sri, I considering you as my own little sister, you can tell me at least, even a little."
"I have told you I can't. See what had happened to Mr. Hughes? He's almost killed because he's discovered what homunculus had planned to this country. You can experience the same thing if I opened my mouth. Look your own condition, Brother. You're had been watching by them because your encounter with Lust. When we in Central more than a month ago, we're had been watched by them too. No choice but go to safer place."I sigh, far tired than before. I really need to clear my head.
"Sri? Are you okay?" his tone changed more soft. I spotted a worry in there. "You sounded not well. Are you eating right in there?"
"I'm fine. I'm a bit tired." I cringed. 'Maybe?'
"I don't believe your 'fine'." He protested. "You can't lie to me, Sri. You're not fine, not when your voice tell the opposite. I ask you once again, are you really fine?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Oh my. You're not easy to believe people, aren't you?"
"Call this caring and concerning for a little sister." He claimed.
"I thought you only caring for your girlfriends. You're a worst womanizer in Central, remember?" I half joking.
"I'm not. Why you believe such a nonsense gossip?" he defended.
I grinning sad. I can't talk to him more than this. Making a contact to him more long only will bring a suspicious to homunculus. I lie if I'm saying I'm not missing Big Brother. Though we only have conservation in phone, he always supports me and encouraged me in his own way. 'But enough is enough.', a voice in my head said. I can't endanger him more than this. The fact he's called me today has making me relieved and happy.
"Thank you for the warning. I'll be careful from now." I lowered my head. "I'm sorry I can't tell you. However, let me promise this. I'll tell you everything you want to know, when this is over. From the start to finish. Can you promise me?" I begged. "This is probably sound too egoism, just, I have to make sure no one after us again. Can you?"
"…Is these 'something' you and your friends have are that dangerous?" he curious.
"Too dangerous to use those 'gifts' in evil way."
He sighing very long one. "Fine. Promise me you have to tell me after this freaking problem is over."
I let out some of my panic. At least he will not asking about our powers. Now, I have to end this, both of us will have double troubles. "I should go, Brother." I said. "Bye."
"Sri, wait!" I resist putting the phone. Puzzled, I keep the phone in my ear. "Yes?"
"…I know this is sounds ridiculous." He paused. "But I have a feeling you need to hear this."
"U-huh?" my puzzled is deeper and deeper. "What is it?"
He hesitated for seconds. He then said a sentence I'll not forget for the rest of my life.
"To be honest, I don't care who are you and where are you come from. You are my little sister. We are siblings. Not from blood relation, but from soul bonding. You are my sibling, so I trust you. Understand?"
Blank. I really blank. Four seconds I continue to digest what he was said.
"…Why?" I let out one from few smart words I had.
"Why?" he back asked. "It's a stupid question. It's true we meet in short time. We barely knew for each other. Still, in that short time we spent many events. For days after you gone, I don't get the reason why I can close quickly to you. Now I think have." A smile goes in there, along his voice. "You may call me fool. Otherwise, I had strong feeling you need me as a big brother. Your whole attitude shows it."
"I was?" I'm bit unsure. "You are." He quick replied.
"You might not aware it, but I do realize." He stated. "At first I wasn't notice these. Time passed, and then I began to watch you in order to make sure you and your friends not lie. While I'm watching you, I got something which worries me. Though you're always smiling back there and acted normal back there in office, your eyes sometimes showed a great sorrow. A sorrow you can't heal easily because it's so deep. I don't know what kind of pain which made you had such a deep sorrow like that. Little did I sense it was a painful one. Moreover, you expression once look…hurt and alone. From that moment I finally understand you're suffering because of your pain. You suffering right now and you need help from someone to help you recover from both your sorrow and hurt. Someone you can trust and caring you. Never judge you and important to you. You far from your mother I believe. So it's out of opinion. Until I remind your story. You said once to me that you're the only child. You wanted a sibling. An older brother to share your pain, to share your sorrow. An older brother who understand your pain, to support you when you need him. Seeing you need someone to lift your sorrow even a bit, I came with decision to watch you as an older brother. Your older brother."
I stunned by his reason. "Why? Why you want to do that?"
"I've told you, silly. You need an older brother to help you recover from your sorrow and pain. I want to help you because you have become one from my important peoples. Do I need another reason, dear little sister?" he asked softly.
I bit my lips. I just can't believe this. He saw me that far? I not surprise since he's Roy Mustang. What I can't believe is the part where he mentioned my sorrow and my pain. Not everyone, or even Simbok can sense my pain. My greatest pain from the past. From those sad battles more than one year ago. The first time I and my friends went to overseas, to the land where Athena, the Goddess of Justice stays in earth. The time when I was a normal girl. The place where I meet him for the first time. The man who claimed himself as 'Titan'. The man who change my destiny forever.
The man who made me feeling an emotion I didn't completely understand at that time. Strange yet deep caring to him who helped me so much before he's gone. Disappeared to nowhere. When finally I realized I have a feeling to him. A feeling named as 'like'.
"Hyperion..." I subconsciously muttered. A quick flashback was played as I remember the first time I meet him.
Flashback
"What is your name?" the young man with long black hair, brown skin, and red eyes asked my name gently. I not answer him immediately, I examined him instead. Despise his dark appearance, he's very kind and calm. He's carrying a gentle aura I can't describe.
"Sri. Sri Cahya Dian." His lips then formed into a warm smile.
"It's a beautiful name." He said. His long hair was blow by the wind. The sun shone behind him. His all dark clothes made him mysterious. It made him so…god like. I suddenly thinking handsome was the word is match for him.
End of Flashback
"Who?" Big Brother voice snapped me out from my flashback. He sounded confused.
"It's nothing." I said to him. "I just remembered someone from past."
"Someone close to you?"
"Maybe, maybe not. I saw him in short time. He's disappeared long time ago for an unknown reason." I'm sad a bit. "Sometimes I miss him terribly. We met accidentally because some urgent problems." I said.
"He was a stranger to me. I didn't know him. And somehow…, His figure was always close in my heart. His shadow was dancing in my mind. For some strange part, I can imagine his face, his smile, his kindness, even the warm gleam of his eyes." I chuckled. "I thought I was crazy. He's certainly kind but he's still a stranger to me. I totally clueless that time. For next event, he's always unexpectedly appeared, helped me and my friends to solved problems. Next time he came, next time he's gone, like a wind. Every time he came and helped us, I always have this strange feeling. Of course I'm happy and glad whenever he's appear. But there's another feeling I can't fully understand. A warm feeling I got only when he's came. Until we faced the main culprit from all the problems, he helped me for the last time before he's disappeared and never come back. In same time, I finally realized that I'm like him. I'm like with a man who almost unknown to me. I know almost nothing about him. I know him more after a friend told me about him. It made me so hurt why I didn't realize it faster. Now he's gone and I can't say to him that I like him." I closed my eyes, imagine his smiling face.
A soft smile carved deep in my heart until now.
"It seems only yesterday we met him. I wonder where he is…"
"…I'm sorry for your lost." He apologized suddenly. His voice is bearing a guilty. "I didn't know…"
"You don't need to apologize. It's more than one year ago. I even didn't know either he's alive or not." I stop a moment. "Still, I find myself praying him to alive somewhere in safe place. So if I meet him once again, I can tell him that I like him with all my heart since our first meeting. I don't want a reply for him. I just want to convey my feeling to him, and then I'll be satisfied."
A silence fallen between us. Neither I nor he opened our mouth. I sat there, in the chair with colorful emotions.
"Brother, do you like Mrs. Riza?" I asked him gentle.
He gasped silently. "What are you talking about?"
"I said, do you like Mrs. Riza, Big Brother?" I repeated. "Please answer me. Cause I think you made a nice couple."
A quick interlude before he's half shouted. "What…!"
"Don't ever think I didn't know your relationship. The contents of your mind can guess easily especially when I ask about Mrs. Riza, every time I call you. Can you answer me, Please?" I cut him.
Judge from the noise he made in phone, he's reluctant to tell me the truth.
"I'll not tell everyone. I promise."
"And how do I know that you'll keep your promise when you can't tell me anything?" he light sarcasm.
"Because for this one I'll be honest no matter what happen in future, Brother."
I heard a noise from ruffling hair, little did I can imagined he's ruffling his hair in stress mode.
"Fine. I'm like her, Sri. I do like her. Satisfied?"
I grin. "Very. Now I don't have to worry about you two. You'll be alright, definitely." A distant tone exist in there, in my voice.
"…Sri?"
I stood. "Time is out. Sorry, I got to go. My time isn't many now. Besides I must do something, hopefully it's not too late. For you, for Mrs. Riza, for Mr. Hughes and his family, and for everyone in Amestris. " I half whispered in the end.
He fast enough to realize I'm will doing something he doesn't even know. His voice becomes tense again. "Sri, what are you going to do?"
I smiled weakly. "Guess…" I challenge him.
"Sri…" he alarmed. "You don't…" I not let him finish, I cut him fast.
"Take care…and don't die, my stupid big brother."
I pull the phone from my ear, I know Big Brother voice is shouting from there, yelled my name over and over again before I put the phone back. I stare far. There's a blank space inside me. For a moment, I feel like an empty shell. No emotions, no feelings, except sorrow and guilty. Sorrow for keep many secrets from him. Guilty of fooling the person I care like my own brother. And everyone I knew in Amestris.
Not for long, Major Miles came back and he notices my strange behavior.
"Sri? Are you alright?" his question snapped me out. I slowly turn my face to facing concerned Major Miles.
"I'm alright." I said blandly. "I'm alright."
Next hour, I stood in the training room with 'Vajra Aakaash'. I shoot my arrows, again and again. Two hours later, I must go back because all the targets I use are destroyed to pieces. I can't use them anymore. At least mostly my emo is gone. A little corrected. Mostly, not completely.
I walked back to the village, bring the exhausted feeling inside me. Truthfully, I'm feeling very stress. Very stress and almost reach depression. Sometimes I feel the fangirls in our world far luckier than us. While they're in their home, making or reading FMA fanfictions, dreaming they can go to this world, or pairing their OC, mostly with Ed, Al, Big Brother aka Roy, and even Envy ( which make me don't understand where is the good side from him seeing his treatments to Ed and Mr. Hughes. Don't worry, I didn't hate them though. It's their choice ). And us? We're absolutely terrified at first time, panicked, and totally don't has a clue. Next, we got a fact we're not in our world anymore. Instead being happy we're didn't know rather we're happy or no. We're enough excited after we decided to help Ed and Al. The problem is not finished yet. I have told you, we have inhuman abilities. We must keep these as secret or people will think we're a freak. Or even worse, homunculus.
Now the homunculus search for us and no doubt they'll use us as hostage as Big Brother said. My worst thought is they'll use our powers for evil and do their plan. Uuuuuuh….! Life is never easy! Why this is happening to us? Why not the fangirls who wish for adventure in this world? Why us who even can't categorized as 'normal', 'human', et cetera?
"Sri!" I startled and the voice repeated my name again. This time louder.
"Sri! Hey! Over here!" I turned around and catch a familiar figure approaching me. A grin arose in my face. He's stop in front of me and patted. Not surprising, he's run after all.
"Hello, Sri. Good to see you." The young man smile friendly. He has a bag behind him. The bag is opened a bit and revealing some part of wood clock. From the bag size, he must be bringing more inside it.
"Good to see you too, Lelouch." I greeted back.
He's Lelouch Britannia, our host of home stay. He's a bit older than me. He's staying with his little sister Nunnaly, in his uncle and aunt home, Mr. and Mrs. Derbyshire. Their parents died in accident leaving them in their uncle's caretaker. Mr. Derbyshire runs a wood clock shop in town. Lelouch help him a lot.
"What make you go to the town and what are all those wood clocks?"
"Uncle's work." He answered. "He wants to sell it but he got fever from yesterday, so I replace him and keep the shop." The black haired young man smiled wryly. "He's already old and weak, Sri. I think he should retire as a shop owner. It was no use scolding him and told him to settle in the village, since he didn't think he is old. He is a youthful person."
I laughing as I imagine Mr. Derbyshire walk back and forth from village to town while he's bring all his work, just like Lelouch did now.
"Isn't he's turned 65 years old few days ago?" I pretty amazed. "Wow. He's a true youthful person."
Lelouch chuckled lightly. "You look tired. Has something happen, Sri?" he asked out of blue.
"Ah, not really. I got a little problem. I'm fine, however." Yes, a 'little problem' which will destroy me sooner or later. Ironically, life will mean nothing if we don't have problems, right?
"Something from your face tells me that your problem isn't a little problem." His face is show concerned. "Do you realize your eyebrows are wrinkles right now? It's a sign of thinking hard. And I don't think a little problem can make your eyebrows wrinkles."
I blinked hard. Is he some kind of paranormal? And his word is true. My eyebrows did wrinkles. "Is me that obvious?"
"Yes, you are. Oh, and your eyes are tell me the contra thing." He then asked me again, "Are you feeling okay? You can me if you want."
My eyes lock in his purple eyes. Concern is deep in there. He's serious.
"Hey, Lelouch." I asked him out of my mind. "If I said...I not a normal human and not come from this world, will you still want to befriend with me?" I grimaced in end.
His purple eyes now are blank. "Huh?"
"If I said I not a normal human and not come from this world, will you still want to befriend with me, Lelouch?"
He blinked twice. His face turned from blank to think. "Is this has something to do with your problem?"
"A little."
"Hm...This is quite difficult to answer, I guess..." he scratched his hair. "Maybe I'll not believe you, or believe you. Depend in what case I facing."
Lelouch is smiling wise. "But let me stated this, Sri. Whoever you are and where you came from, it doesn't matter to me, to Nunnaly, to everyone in the village. We still want to befriend with you. Same thing goes with your friends. Did you know we're so happy when we got you all as a guest? We rarely have guest for long time. Didn't you notice it? Everyone are welcome you. Ever since you're stay in here, this village becomes more colorful than before. Not mention we have fun times. Nunnaly face now more brighten. I could never grateful than her befriend with you and your friends."
I almost presume my ears have a problem. It's not, my ears are fine. That means I not wrong here.
"We were?" I said disbelieve. "Wow, Sora and the others must hear this."
"Then try it. I'm sure they will be pleasant too." He suggested.
"I'll." I paused. "Hey, will you and me will be friend forever, like you had said?"
His forehead wrinkles. "Huh? You still asking that? Of course we will. Is your problem gone that serious?"
I grinning then shook my head.
'I'm sorry Lelouch. I can't tell you the truth we have held since long ago…Maybe later when this all over. When the time is come, I'll gladly tell you all of it. We'll tell to you all. I promise this and I'll fulfill it. For now, let's let us like this, alright?'
"It's not. Oh, and thank you very much for lent your ears. I feel far more relaxed."
"Not at all. Well, I better goes off. I don't have much time left. It's nice to chat with you. I hope we can do it next time. With your friends too. Will you like it?"
"Loved too. Oh, and don't forget bring your girlfriend from town. What was her name again? C.C aka Chianti Carol?" I teased him. His face turned pink.
"She's not my girlfriend!" he retorted. "And her name is Cynthia Carol! Not Chianti, Sri!"
I am laughing once again. He's in love with a girl from the town. I meet her once. Cynthia or C.C ( this is her nickname by the way ) is the daughter of the hotel owner me and my friends stayed. She's beautiful with her long green hair and yellow eyes. Her mother is said from another continent, so C.C got her hair and her eyes from her mother.
"Whatever you're say. It doesn't change you from meet her." I replied after my laughter died. "Now go. Meet her and good luck, Lelouch Britannia. Semangat!1.)" I cheer him as I throw my fist to the sky.
His face go red like a boiled crab in Manado restaurant I once visited near school. I swear I even can see the smoke coming from his head. "SRIII…..!"
I snickered and waved him goodbye before I go back to village. I think I found another bright side from our unexpected vacation.
Matchmaker is really an awesome job. I can't wait to matchmaker Ed and Winry and Al and Mei. I grin from ear to ear. Maybe I can matchmaker Big Brother and Mrs. Riza too.
Tonight, the air is colder than usually. We gathered in guest room. Saidi has eaten cheese cake, Clark is out to take more cakes. Abdul drinking his berries tea ( he's a big fan of berries tea. He teased girly because of this ). Sora poured her favorite mint tea to her cup. She put the teapot and took her cup of tea.
"So in the end, you're not telling him about our works…"
"I'm not. I don't dare to tell him." I responded and my hands rotation the cup tea I holding now. Mine is chamomile tea. Clark told me it's effective to relax. It did.
"You're not wrong. You made a right decision." Saidi chewed his cake. "If I was you, I'll do the same." he frowned. "But you don't need to destroy the entire targets in training room."
"Huh? How did you know?" I confused. I didn't tell them the part where I going brawl in training room.
"I came to Briggs this evening for training. Captain Buccaneer was told me. He said he got a report from Segeant Knight who devastated with all the destroyed targets for archery." He explains. It's not me who got a train in Briggs. We made an exchange to Major General Armstrong. They'll let us go and stay in village. As exchange we must training weapons in Briggs as reward. "Definitely, what are you do in there?"
"Emotional management training." I responded. "I have to unleash my emo in right way, so I use training room and shoot as powerful as I want."
"You're actually what?" Clark cutting, he's brings more cheese cakes. "Destroy all targets? It's rare to see you in bad mood, Sri. Is this caused by those damn creatures?"
"3000% correct." I slightly annoyed. His face becomes a total funny blank. He put the cakes rashly then asked me.
"Do you think… they smelled our existence?"
"Not good news to hear, indeed. Too bad I'm pretty sure they are." I responded Clark.
He closed his face with his hands and groaned loud. The rest of us are laughing in irony.
"Welcome to cruel world, my friend." Saidi said.
"Shut up."
"You remind me of 'him'." Sora has a distant look. "It's one year since the battles and four months since they visited us. I wonder if they're alright in Sanctuary."
"You mean Seiya and his friends?" I claimed. "I miss them too. I have promised Shun to play with him again."
"I miss to talk to Shiryu and Shunrei and Dohko." Abdul recalled his memories. "We talked many things in those days, as we stayed in Sanctuary for week."
"He-eh. By the way, do you remember when we got stuck in hidden tunnel after we found enter passage in Athena Temple? It was worst." commented Saidi. "We shortly found by Mu and Aiolia few hours later."
Clark is laughing. "How could I forget it? We're lectured by Aiolia before he hugged us and reveal he is so worry we might not be able to get out forever. He's too paranoid."
We're laughing together. "I hope their war is over. It's annoying not see them for long time." I commented. "It's been a while ever since those sad battles."
"Sad, huh?" Abdul whispered. "It more likes a tragedy to me than battles…"
Saidi gazed. "Saga, Aiolos, Shura, Camus, Deathmask, Aphrodite, Shion the Pope. Silver Saints and Bronze Saints." His voice held bitterness. "So much people died from those battles."
Clark nodded slowly. "Yes. The battles are still fresh in my head. I can't forget them, even I want it. It's hurting me."
I staring my friends. "We can never forget them. We will always remember them, along with our sorrow and our pain. So we can remember that the world not only made from 'white' and 'black'. It was what he taught to me." A flash of him appeared in my mind. I take a deep breath. "I miss him badly."
"Still wondering where did he gone?" Clark asked softly. I nodded yes.
Clark is smiling. But his eyes showed the opposite. "I miss him too. He's a good friend and great warrior I ever know."
"Me too." Sora paused a while. "Perhaps this time I should thank by fact Seiya and the others Saints not here. I can't imagine what kind of chaos they will create."
Saidi eyeing her. "Like what?"
"Destroying the half of Central for example."
Clark face changed to horrified. "I don't want that kind of destruction." Clark shivered. "Heck, I even don't need them to destroy at least a half of Central."
Saidi laugh hysterically. "Let's prey they not come to this world and make a huge problem. We already have three people who train almost like a Saint."
"Nyindir, nih?2.)" Sora commented sarcastic. "Aku gak tanggung kalau terjadi apa- apa denganmu loh.3.)"
"EGP. Emang Gue Pikirin?4.)" Saidi replied playfully. "I can take care myself, no need to worry."
"Easy guys." Abdul neutralized. "Let's talking another thing, okay? If I'm not wrong, Ed and Al will to Briggs tomorrow, aren't they?"
We looked full question to him. He moved his two hands abruptly, he's sounded uncomfortable. "What I mean is, Ed and Al will come to Briggs tomorrow, right? Seeing from Sri's story, I assumed they must be come tomorrow or later. Mr. Mustang said the homunculus are began to search us, he must be had face Wrath aka King Bradley. So with Ed and Al. According to the manga, after they knew Wrath identity and failed to search Mei Chang, Ed and Al will go to Briggs to meet Major General Armstrong and give a letter from Major Armstrong. Got what I mean?"
Something popped in my brain. I'm grinning wide to him. "If they come to Briggs, Winry must be come to Briggs later." My grin is turning into the devious one. "And if Winry come, that will mean…"
"Hohohoho." Clark understood what I mean. "You're crazy, dear friends."
"Eh?" Abdul startled.
"Isn't this a bit too early?" Saidi asked.
"Eh?" Abdul face now growing to confused.
"Who cares, anyway?" Sora stuck her tongue in teasing expression. "Matchmaker the Elrics is a never boring game."
"Eh, guys…" Abdul was tried to interfere, but cutting by Clark. "Is matchmaker so important?"
"Guys, that's not the point I want to tell you." At this we once again shoot him a look.
"Matchmaker is okay but we have more urgent thing to do."
I'm gathering my attention to him. "And that was?"
Abdul eyes go wide. "Don't tell me you all forgot about Sloth will came in the same day they arrive?"
The realization hit me hard. "…..Astagfirullah. I almost forget him."
Saidi groaned inaudible. "Me too. The huge guy who get out from tunnel aka Sloth. Uh…"
"This means we going to…action? Fight?" Clark asked.
"If we aren't lucky." Sora responded. "I mean, sooner or later we'll have to fight to protect our self. Like or not."
I scratch my head. "Looks like….. We're needed to focus to Sloth from now."
Clark rolling his eyes in weary expression.
"Goodbye relaxing day."
The moon shine softly through the window, even I have closed it with thin curtain. Too bad I can't sleep, whereas it's late night. I have tried to close my eyes. It's useless. I find it annoying. We'll have an important day tomorrow and if I can't sleep, I'll get tiring. I immerse my face to my pillow, sighed. Perhaps, my problem is not because I can't sleep. I excited to go to Briggs, in same time I worry about something else. The bad is I don't know what I'm worry about.
Worrying without knowing the cause probably is the most troublesome thing I ever had. It's popped from nowhere, hiding in place you'll never expect, and when you're off guard, it attacks your mind without mercy. I sigh once again to be responded by Sora, whom I think is sleep.
"Can't sleep, Sri?" she asked in the darkness of our room. We share two beds, me being near door, while she's near window.
I shook my head. "I can't, Sora. Maybe it's because the coffee." I half lied.
"Don't lie to me. You didn't drink a coffee." warned Sora.
I chuckled in defeat. Guess I can't lie to her today. "Something is worrying me. I not know exactly what it's. I get distracted, so I can't sleep. Satisfied?"
"You shouldn't worry to what you even didn't know, Sri. It only makes you depressed more and more." She's advice me.
"So what about you? Your point will be…?"
"Don't think. Make it easy. Simple." She looking at the ceiling. "There's no point to worry something not clear."
"I wish I could that simple."
The moonlight is covered by clouds, make the room little darker.
"Will you like me to sing a lullaby?" she offering softly. "Perhaps if I sing a song, it can help you sleep. How do you think?"
I not answer her quickly. I raise my eyebrow. I not mind, really. I more concerned about her. Is she okay with this?
"Are you sure, Sora?"
"Very sure." She responded determined.
I took a deep breath. "….Alright. If you don't mind, please."
"Pleasure is mine." I hear a smile in her voice. "This song is beautiful. I'm sure you like it."
"Really?" I interest. "What song it is?"
"Sora, Escaflowne the movie."
I want to laugh. "Sora? Why the song is has a same name with yours?"
She shrugged. "Don't know. I do adore the song, however. Shall I?"
I nodded and she took it as clarity. She began to singing in soft voice. I listened to her. The moonlight finally shines again, brighter and more beautiful.

I feel calm when I hear Sora soothing voice. I closed my eyes and enjoying her lullaby. Slowly, I drifting to sleep.
"Thank you." I mumbled. The worries gone, only peace I can feel.
"You're welcome, Sri." Sora voice is the last thing I hear before I completely sleep.
Go completely to land of dreams.
I woke up in morning and feeling fresh. I bath and wear my training clothes immediately to join the others in dinner room. We left the village shortly after we ate breakfast and come to Briggs in hurry, seeing the sky is pretty bad. I bring 'Vajra Aakaash' and my stuffs in case Sloth really comes. It's not my decision, Abdul proposed it, agreed by the others.
"This maybe too quickly to assumed Sloth will be in here, same thing might be goes with Ed and Al. But you know how the Elrics can pull big problems even they don't want it. And you already know when they arrive in Briggs, Sloth will came too to the Briggs from tunnel. And after that Kimbley will come and I doubt Pride or Wrath didn't tell him about us. For that we have no use to stay in village. Besides from today we'll go training together, right?" Abdul said as he packed his things.
As we have planned, arrive in Briggs, we're training for hours under Sergeant Knight watching. Major Miles and Captain Buccaneer go to nowhere. We keep our power to control. Sora had told us a day before. She reveals the reason why she's continuously learning alchemy. She's studied alchemy not only to find a way home, but to search the reason why we have difficulties to control our powers. Not common alchemy, but dimensional alchemy and its laws. Apparently, every dimension has its own rules. Not exception to our dimension and this dimension. Every rule in each dimension is different. These rules are needed to balance every dimension/world in universe, so the dimension will not clashing. However if we crossed another dimension, it'll become another story. In other word, we have broken this world rules. We're against the rules, because we came from a dimension where different rules were existing. Some of it are opposite from this dimension, and this caused an impact to us. We can't fully control our power and the power gone wild as an effect. Lose control a bit and later you'll get a terrifying result.
In order to prevent the worst scene Sora proposed us to train. The training itself is not for ridiculous thing. She's using herself as a guinea pig to test this theory as she training in Briggs. She came with a progress; she can control her power now. Clark commented, it's possible since training help us to level up our skill to control our physical strength. It's not possible to use training as a tool to learn back control our powers.
At the time we finished we covered with sweats and stink. No wonder, we've been training for last three hours. Almost nonstop. Almost, I said. Fortunately we brought change cloths. We lend bathroom facilities to bath and changing. Not long, we're finished change, meet at the outside bathroom facilities ( the boys used male facilities. For me and Sora, we used the female facilities ). I'm wearing white hooded shirt, light grey wool jacket, black pants, and my favorite white tennis shoes.
"Oh Dear Lord, that was tired." Saidi's cracking his head and rubbing his back neck. He's wearing Black long-sleeved shirt with hood, dark grey jacket, same color of pants and his black shoes. "I can't move my neck."
"Of course you can't in this hour. You standing in shoot room for nearly two hours!" Abdul exclaimed. He's wearing white turtle neck sweater, thick dark blue pants, and white shoes. "You should rest, Sai."
"I'll reconsider it." He said as he rubbing his neck again.
"Hey, Abdul." Clark called him. He's wearing azure shirt, brown jacket, blue jeans, and black tennis shoes.
"Yes?" Abdul responded calm.
"Are you sure they'll come?" Clark questioned.
Abdul shrugged. "Possibility. I'm not a fortune teller, either you. We can only make a plan, in the end Allah is The One will decide. Not us. Even me or you or Sora, who not from human race. We are mortals, of course we have our limits too."
We glance to each others. Silent understandings go between us. It's better to avoid this kind conversation.
"Guess, we have no choice than try our luck." Sora said. She's wearing light blue two tone high neck shirt, crème long-sleeved hooded jacket and reaching under her knees, black pants, and blue tennis shoes.
"Hey, let's eat something. I'm hungry already. Is everybody wants to come?" I invited. "I brought some foods from village."
"Sounds good to me. I'm not refuse." Clark accepted. "By the way, Sora. Can you teach us about this alchemy?"
Sora raises her eyebrow. "Why you suddenly interested?"
"Curious." He grins.
"….Are you pretty sure?"
"Definitely. I just want to know why alchemy is working well in this world."
"Ah. I'm enough curious about that one too." Abdul said. "I think it's more than rules, don't you think, Sai?"
Saidi smiled as a reply.
Sora stole a glance to me. I smiling agree. She took a breath. "Then be prepared. It's not easy as learning math."
Sora was teaching us after we eat in the room we used for stay in Briggs. As like Sora had said, learning alchemy isn't easy. I'm not really smart in science, this made me having little problem for understanding alchemy works. Clark isn't better than me. Few times I catch him in deep confused when Sora teaches us. Abdul as same as me. At last, Saidi is the best to understanding alchemy. We took a rest after Sora realized we can't follow her lessons farther.
"This is far terrible than chemical. My head is going to explode." Clark complained.
"Told you it's not easy." Sora amused.
I yawned. "What time is it? I tired and want to sleep for one hour."
Sora looked at the clock. "Already evening? Wow, I not notice the time."
Abdul yawned too. "Maybe we should rest. I'm kind of sleepy as well."
"Not hurt I guess. Let's sleep a…" she stopped then tense. "They're coming this fast?"
I don't get what she's say about. "Who?"
"Elric Brothers. They have entered Briggs. With Major Miles and Captain Buccaneer. I can feel their cosmo in here. "
Abdul straightened his body. "They are?"
"They are."
"No wonder I can't see them this morning. Apparently, they went to outside and guard Briggs, just like they did last time when we met them."
I stood up from the bed. I took 'Vajra Aakaash' and wielding it. "Then, what are we waiting for?" I said. "Let's meet our friends and greet them. They must be suffered by the bear of military right now."
Sora is grinning wide. "I bet they do suffer."
Saidi took a shortcut to shorten our way. He turning left and choice the long corridor, guides us carefully. Both I and Saidi had memorized some shortcut in Briggs while we train in here. In beginning, we do it for curiosity, more long we train in Briggs, more long we can explored the whole building. It got well.
"This way, guys." Saidi pointed to one small corridor and go through it. We follow him from behind.
"This building structure made me headache! How the hell you can memorize these all without some difficulties?" Clark exclaimed confuse.
"Explore and it's not an easy job really, I almost got lost few times in first time." Saidi answered.
"You're better than me. I ran to Sergeant Knight when explored and crashed with him." I told him.
"Ouch. That must be hurt." Sora commented.
"…! Hey Stop." Abdul stopped us by pulled mine and Sora arm. We almost fell because his sudden pull.
"Aww! Abdul, don't pull us so suddenly, it hurts!" Sora protested.
"I'm sorry. I'll warn you next time."
"Why did you stop us?" Saidi approached. "Do you find something?"
Abdul shook his head. "Not find. Hear." He replied. "I hear some familiar voices from this corridor. Can you hear it too?"
I focused my eyes and my hearing to the said corridor. I wait seconds and hear a faint voice. It's getting bigger and bigger each time passed. There are at least three people in there. And I finally recognize the two of them. My eyes go wide, facing Clark.
"He's right. I also recognize those voices. There are three peoples, I do recognize two." I add. "It's really them."
Clark gawked. "…Masa sih?5.)"
Sora shook her head. "It's them, Clark. I do know these cosmo. It's Ed and Al cosmo." She frowned. "But why I have a familiar feeling with the last one?"
Saidi went to the corridor. "Let's check it out, Guys."
We're half running to reach the end of corridor. I out first and nearly missed the golden head, a big armor, and black coat in my right. It was...Ed and Al. Really Ed and Al. What made me surprised is because I spotting Falman figure with them.
They're having same surprised expressions when they spotted us. "Sri?" Al called me slowly. Subhanallah, I hope my face didn't hilarious, because I was surprised to see them today. I didn't realize I getting near to their figure, until I stop my feet, face to face Ed and Al.
"Ed? Al?" I looked surprised at them. "Ed! Al! We miss you! What are you doing in here?" I hugged them both.
"I'm the one who should ask that question." Ed replied after he let my hug. "What are you doing here, Sri?"
"Vacation." Sora replied short behind me. She hold her amused smile.
"Sora!" shouted Ed. "What the...!"
"Mr. Falman?" Abdul shouted. "What are you doing in here? I thought you're with Mr. Mustang in Central!"
"Uh…" he acted weird. "It's hard to explain. But…"
"He got mutation to Briggs." Ed responded and got startled face from Abdul. "Yes, it's true. He's got mutation to this place." Ed repeated. Abdul give Falman a blank stare.
"No way. You're got mutation? How?"
Falman gloomed. "Unfortunately it's true…" he said in sober tone. He face almost wants to cry.
Saidi has a pity to him. "Nasib tragis orang dewasa…6.)" He murmured.
I chuckled ironically. Then I notice a little change from Al's hair.
"Al, what happen to your hair?" I saw his hair of armor gotten short. Must be cut from the fight versus Captain Buccaneer.
He's lowering his head. "We got some short of encounter with Captain Buccaneer, which made Brother throw my head and…."
I sweat drop. 'Tuh kan bener.7.)' I whispered in my mind. "…Okay I got the image. I'm sorry, Al."
He lifted his head and shook. "It's okay."
"Edward! Alphonse! Hello there." Clark greeted the Elric brothers. He then stops walking as he staring Ed. His smile grew fast. "Wait…Is this just my feeling or you not even grow up since last time we meet? Do you ever drink your milk?" he teased Ed.
In flash, Ed has been few inches in front of Clark, ready steady to beat him, if only Al not pulled back his older brother and holding him tightly.
"WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SMALL UNTIL HE CAN'T SEEING BY NORMAL EYES …!" Ed ranted as he's held by Al. "Brother! Stop it! He didn't say that!" Al half begged.
Clark is exploded with laughter as he holding tightly his stomach. "He's short temper not changed."
"Clark, you're cheated. I want to do that too…" Abdul whined. Falman turned to him as if he's a freak.
"Hey, it's not my fault. I just said it to the point." And he got a glare from the youngest alchemist in Amestris. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry, Ed. I just joking, you're tall a bit, that's all. I'll not call you…um, you know, again." apologized Clark. "Please?"
Ed stared hard to him and sighed annoyed. "Fine. Just don't do that again."
"Yes, Sir." Clark grins from ear to ear. Knowing Clark, I knew he'll do this again in future, as long as it's fun.
"Back to our question." Al said after he released Ed. "You said you're in vacation. Why in here?"
"Actually, we did vacation." I emphasize. "We spent our times between Garmisch village and Briggs. There are something had made us meet Captain Buccaneer and Major Miles. Long story, Ed. In the end, we got released. We are stay in village, as exchange we mostly come to Briggs for training weapon." I glance to Falman. "I just know Falman is mutation to Briggs today. Last time I checked, he's still in Central more than two weeks ago."
Falman raised his eyebrow. "How did you know?"
"I call Mrs. Riza and Big Brother sometimes. Before I go from Central, they gives me they telephone numbers. I call Mrs. Riza two weeks ago for last time and Big Brother just yesterday." I told him.
"Wait. Big Brother?" Ed raised his eyebrow quizzically.
"I mean Roy, Ed. He said I can call him 'Big Brother'. And I did."
Ed staring me disbelieves. "No way."
"It is. I like his figure as an older brother to me. He's very nice and cares to me."
He gaped. "What the hell…? You said he's nice and care to you!"
I nodded. "He is. Anyway, let's keep this chat for other time. Mr. Falman, I want to ask you about Mrs. Riza."
Yes, find a way to home and homunculus isn't just the matters I'm worry. In whole month I had call Mrs. Riza three times. First time I call, she is quite happy to hear me. I told her the whole event in Briggs. She was laughed and later told me about Mr. Hughes condition. He said to her for thanked us. In second call, we exchange news. Me about my training, she was about found some evidence from Mr. Hughes case. Of course I warned her to be careful and asked if she's still has the crane I gave to her through Big Brother. She said she's keep it and she really like it. I then advice her to bring it with her as my bless. She said she'll do it. And I tease her how about her relationship with Big Brother. She sounded surprised and embarrassed. She defended about her relation. I must hide my laugh for this.
And this is the problem. A last, very last call, I call her only to get appreciation she was feeling scared. She didn't show it of course, she's Riza Hawkeye. But being socialization at school and with Seiya along his friends got me a feeling that she's scared from something, even though her voice didn't change. I had to cheer her with retell her funny scenes we had made while us staying in village to enlighten her. It worked. Half of it. I guess she's has been threatened by Pride. Brother's call had strengthened my guess. I have to check a bit more.
"I'm so worry about her, somehow she seemed scared for something. I force her to tell me what had happened, yet she doesn't want to tell me. Maybe one of you knows what had happened while we were away?"
Edward face hardened, Alphonse has a look of unsure even he doesn't has expression, and Falman, He quiet. Just quiet.
"Hello? I'm waiting the answer here, Gentlemen." I half forced. I know my face is wrinkle very clear, since Falman is move to back.
"You can tell us." Abdul put his hand in my shoulder. "She's not the only one who concern about Mrs. Hawkeye."
Falman glance to me, then to Abdul, and back to me. Unexpectedly, Edward approached me and stop in front of me.
"I had met her and Black Hayate. I saw she's fine and healthy. You don't need to worry. I even got a message from her for you all."
"She was?"
"She was." Ed reassured me. "She said, thank you very much for the cranes. Both she and Havoc owe you and will return your kindness one day. I wonder what had happened. She didn't want to tell me, even to Al."
A realization goes inside me. She must have known that I and my friends have 'gifts' and us did something to the cranes, which result homunculus knew our existence. So she didn't tell Ed and Al in order to protect us and the Elrics.
"Are Mrs. Hawkeye and Mr. Havoc alright?" this time Abdul asked.
"They're fine, not a single cut. Both of them." Al answer. "You know, there is something I want to ask you since we first meet."
Clark blinked. "What is it?"
"Why Fuhrer gave out an order to find you? And why he's mention you're not normal human? Is this has a connection with your went to North?"
I stopped breath. I feel Abdul grip hardened. I'm sure the others also go tense. Ed glances between us, he has his eyes narrowing.
"I'm suspicious about this too." Ed claimed. "Why Fuhrer was suddenly has interesting to you? He did mention you, but he's also said some odds. He said he want to meet with you all since you not seen as your appearances and not normal humans. What does he mean?"
I keep quiet, so were the others. None of us can answer those questions.
"It's..." I began, when in same time there's aloud boom from behind. I turned my eyes to the source and got a big figure coming from a hole he created.
O-oh. I gulped. I memorized this scene very well. Now it happens. In front of my eyes.
"What the hell…!" gaped Clark, as the big man raised from the hole.
"Sloth?" Abdul said blankly. "In not right moment like this!" He yelled in same time as every soldier pointed their guns to the big man and began to shoot him.
It didn't affect the big guy in fact. He even doesn't flinch.
"Ok. He didn't even hurt a bit. What next?" I said lowly and see Ed shouted something about 'no use' and 'won't stay dead' to Major General Armstrong.
"Tsk. It'll mean…"Sora goes forward, approached Sloth. She raised her right hand as her hand surrounded by blue light. Her eyes showed a deadly and cold look. "Clark, Sri, help me. And for you." She glared to the soldiers. "All of you, stay away from this."
A silver and black zanbato suddenly appeared in her hand as she gripped it, shocked everyone, not exception The Major General, also Ed and Al who looked shocked. The sword is alike 'First Tsurugi' from FF VII: AC I have watched. This one however, I notice, is more complex and has two more blades.
"This," she said and she swung the big sword once.
"Will become my first brutal battle in this world."
"You mean, our first brutal battle." I corrected amused as I followed her and Clark as we walking to strategic area to attack him.
"Wait. How about us!"Abdul questioned in loud voice since there are too much sounds of gunfire around them.
Unmitigated. Some of them are shooting Sloth using tanks.
"You and Sai can tell them to hold their fire." Clark answered in not usual extra calmness attitude, as he's wearing his black gloves. "We have to divert his attention so they could attack him, you know."
Unlike Clark and Sora who keep moving, I stop to open my case and issuing 'Vajra Aakaash' along few arrows. "Please be careful. I can only support you from behind." I told them and ready to shot.
Clark chuckled and Sora smirked then moves to charged position. "Time to work."
In blink of eye, she's in front of Sloth, doing oblique slash with full force, and sending the homunculus hit the wall behind him hard.
"What in the world!" shouted Sergeant Knight beside Captain Buccaneer. Gasps heard once again when they see the inhuman speed from Sora.
"I didn't see her in front of the huge guy second ago!" exclaimed one soldier. "When did she...!" He can't finish his word, the huge guy began to stand up.
"CLARK, NOW!" Sora gives a sign. Clark rushed, passed Sora and gripping Sloth's left wrist.
"HAAA…..!" Clark let out a battle cry as he throw him without some difficult.
Sora entered the battle again and attacking Sloth.
I hear Abdul is yelling to Major General Armstrong, which now ride a tank. "Miss Armstrong! Please tell them to hold their fire! Trust us! Sora and Clark will distract him and give you opportunity to attack!"
"Ed! Al!" this time, Saidi was yelling to Ed and Al. "Can you force him to the lift?"
"What for!" Ed shouted back.
"Just do it if you want to survive!"
I not focused to hear the arguments more far. My concentrate already has taken to aim my arrow. My hand is started twitching. I force to keep shooting position.
I saw Sora and Clark keep attacking Sloth. My turn hasn't arrived. I have to patience. I have to wait. I gathered my power slowly, focusing it to my arrow. I will not shoot my arrow. Not until one of them give me the code. I believe in them. And we'll believe the rest to Ed and Al.
"SRI! Your turn!" code from Clark and I know my turn is come. I shoot my arrow all my strength. Sped toward the homunculus.
The arrow hit near Sloth stand, soon release the power within. The air is moving extremely fast around Sloth, creating an abnormal air pressure. Then it creates wild wind. Waves of wind slashing Sloth and ground around him. It's as if there's a crazy cyclone inside the room.
I narrowed my eyes, trying to see clear. The power from the wind pushed Sloth to a door, which I recognized it as a door Ed and Al will use to get out the homunculus.
The wind died soon and in right moment Ed, Al, and Captain Buccaneer arrived behind me. Their faces have same expression, very shocked. The differences are Ed seemed ready to bombard us, Al rather curious, oh, and Captain Buccaneer eyeing us like some kind an alien.
"Sri, Sora, you..."
"Not now, Ed. Not now!" Sora snapped from far as Ed want to open his mouth. "Our job is finish until this part. You'll be the one will finish him with Al and Captain Buccaneer. And you don't have a time for bombard us questions! Hurry after him and do your jobs or he'll escape! Hurry, Ed!"
"She has a point, Boy." Captain Buccaneer added. "We can't let him escape. Not after what he done to this place."
Ed gritted his teeth to hold the burst of questions he must be keep for days.
"Brother..." Al concerned.
Ed let out a curse then glaring to Sora. "You better tell us what had happened or I'll force you to open your mouth!"
"As if you can, Edward Elric! Now go!" yelled Sora dangerous.
Next second the three of them gone after Sloth. I entered my bow and arrows to the case. We nodded to each other to wait them. We decide to follow them later because we now saw Major General Armstrong in her tank go after them.
And shoot without mercy. So loud that we're must cover our ears.
"Ow..." Clark muttered. "That was loud one."
"This is Major General, Clark. She'll do anything to exterminate Sloth."
Sounds of kicks reached us from the exit door, followed by something fall.
"...Talking about the battle, I'm sure they have finished. Let's check them. Who knows Ed and Al is half dead right now." Sora half joked.
"After they face the Major general herself, maybe you mean." Abdul corrected.
We run toward the door and enter trough the still opening part the door.
"Is everyone alright?" yelled Sora when we spotting the Elrics and Captain Buccaneer in outside.
"We're fine!" replied Al. We united together again and facing them.
"Yes. Not even a cut." Ed said.
"Good thing to hear." Saidi sighed in relieve.
I'm staring far at the now frozen homunculus down there. He stays in static position. Not for a long time, before we face him again in near future.
"This is not over." Clark muttered beside me. "This is not…"
We staring the huge homunculus for the last moment. We knew this wasn't finish yet. He'll come back for sure.
"It is, Clark." I whispered as he nodded slowly.
And we ready for him.
"We'll fight them until this over. Once and for all."
Next in Cerita Kami/ Our Story...
oooooo
"You're...not a human race?" Ed repeated. "And you're not homunculus too?"
"I'm not. I'm neither from human or homunculus." Sora assured. "Same goes to Abdul and Clark. Saidi and Sri are human, but they aren't normal. That's all I can say to you, Ed. I forbid myself to tell you two more than that."
"But why?" Al so confuse. "Why you don't want to tell us? I know all of you aren't a bad guy. Why?"
Sora eyes clouded. "Because seeing from you eyes, we're nothing but 'demons' and freaks', Al..."
oooooo
He's grip Abdul shoulder tightly. He's smiling. And I can say to you it's fake. A really fake and disgusting one.
"I suggest you to come back. You and your friends had impressed Fuhrer with your powers. And he's wanted to see you all." He said in low and sweet voice that's too far-fetched. "Not a bad invitation, isn't it?"
Abdul glared cold to him and grip back to his arm. He's smile full of mystery. "Sounds like a nice invitation."
Abdul eyes change to yellow and in his neck to his cheeks, appeared a vision like stained glass. His glare changes so deadly.
"Too bad we can't fulfill his invitation, Mr. Crimson Alchemist."
