Alastair was quite surprised about what he found in the note. He was also beyond all else interested. The man could certainly make an argument, that was for sure. He put the note down and continued his studies, however he was unable to maintain concentration. He was interested and was not sure whether or not this was even worth his time. Still it was worth trying, that was for sure. He decided to do something different. He picked up a book that he had finished reading a few days ago and left the library. He quickly made his way out the back door to the outside. There was a sand box of sorts out there and Alastor suddenly realized why it was there. He began to draw in the sand. The first thing that he started to make was an alchemy circle. This was the first time that he had decided to put what he had read into practice and was quite timid. His circle was imperfect to say the least. The circle was terrible. To tell the truth. He needed to get it right and that was all that really mattered. He would keep trying at it for as long as he had to until he could do it correctly. Until then he would keep at it. The simple thing of a circle was one of the easiest parts of all of this. It was also the most important part. One can not hope to understand the complexities of alchemy without first understanding the circle that binds it together. That was something that Alastair knew and knew well. He erased his circle and attempted to make another one. And another one, and another one. Alastair continued to try to perfect the alchemy circle. It was funny sight if you think about it. I am reminded that asking of perfection in your self only brings failure and asking of it in others only brings disappointment. Alastair would have to learn that for himself sooner or later and it seemed that it was going to have to be sooner. He would continue for hours. He had started well into night by moonlight and would continue until the moon passed and the sun began to come up. When he got off of his knees in the sand they hurt as blood began to flow normally once again. Still he had not perfected the circle. However, one could easily see that he had gotten a lot better at it than he was at first. The thing that he knew for sure was that he needed to get his hands on a tutor. He needed one desparately if he planned to get through his alchemy training. He walked back into the manor and made plans. There was one obvious choice for Alchemy training. He was a grandmaster in every respect but always had a thing for training people in the basics of Alchemy. Edward Howard was a hero of the state a long time ago but now he was simply a teacher. It was an interesting story. In fact it was a bedtime story for Alastair that he had heard so many times in the past. He was tired of hearing it but that did not mean that it was not the truth. Looking around as he made himself something to eat he wondered if the man would take him in as a student in the first place. He was always some what hopeful but he had no idea what this man wanted from him. He had no idea what Edward Howard wanted from any of his students.

Collab ---> Valius  “What do you two want? Can’t you see I’m planning on leaving?” I get money from the village for boat fair to Konoha’s Academy to go to school since I have no one caring for me. And since I spent it all on games today I have no money to go anywhere. But they don’t need to know that. Then I notice them looking down the path to the village. I follow their eyes and wince when I see Anu staring at me. She was bundled up in that coat of hers. I hadn’t noticed how cool it is today. She seemed to be carrying a little bindle big enough womanly items to be stored in.
“Valius?” I just stare at her a moment.
“Why’d you come? Aren’t you freaked out?”
“No. We’re not freaked out.” So now she’s mocking me. “Scion, Lucifer, and I came to talk to you.”
“THOSE DAMN TWINS KNOW? LET ME OUT SO I CAN KILL THEM! THEY’RE BLACKMAILING WORMS!” Quiet Collab.
“What do you three want to talk to me about?”
“About what we saw. You and Collab are the same people?”
“No.” No point in thinking up a lie. Might as well just tell her what she wants to know. I’ll be leaving anyway.
“You’re two different people then?”
“Yeah. He’s got silver hair and I have orange. He’s got red eyes and I have orange. His personality is way different than mines. He curses and I don’t. He’s a womanizer and I’m not.”
“Calm that down, Valius. You’re pissin me off.”
“So you’re two different people in the same body?” I hardly knew that was her talking. Collab distracted me.
“Four.”
“Four?”
“Me, Collab, Art… and someone else.”
“Who’s the other person?”
“DON’T TELL HER!” I won’t. Geez, I hate when they yell into my head at the same time.
“I can’t speak of the name. He’s not someone you’d want to meet.”
“Can I meet Art?”
“Wait. Aren’t you guys freaked out?”
“No.” I look from Anu to the twins.
“I’m not,” the say in unison. Then I remember how Lucifer is a chimera and how trusting and naïve Anu can be. Of course they wouldn’t think that I was weird. Either that or they just think I’m crazy and don’t want to say anything.
“It’s all right Valius.”
“What do you mean, Anu?” She makes her way up to me and gets really close to my face. I could feel her cool breath tickling my face. I could see the little signs of freckles on her nose. And I could see that her eyes were a little wet. Why would she be crying?
“I’m alone too.” Then she wipes her hands across my cheeks. Great, I’m such a crybaby. I hadn’t even noticed I was crying. Then I remember what was on my cheek before. I grab at her hands with mines but it was too late. I watch as the little bandage on my face slips off. She stares at me confused as I release her and inch away from her. The twins seemed to stare too but I found a way to ignore them. I wait and wait but nothing happens. I guess he’s not coming out this time.

Sienna   Upon finding that her homunculis had been defeated, Sienna decided it was about time that some changes were made. Sienna had to decide a way to reconstruct her homunculis. And in doing that she would make them stronger. Because, for one reason or another, her homunculus couldn’t use a number of Dante clan moves. So they were very vulnerable. Tes was beside her before she had realized it. “Look at them. So pathetic. You plan on avenging them? I can find out what happened.” “No. I will move on. I will make them stronger so that, should someone come around to destroy them next time, they will be the ones lying in a cluster of items.” “Well, besides the fact that only homunculis should do that, I can see how you can increase their power. But I’ll leave that up to you. I’m going to head out and find the others.” Without another sound Tes was gone. Sienna stands in a wide open clearing just staring down at the corpses, er, items that were the remains of her homunculis. A strange bluish dog makes its way in front of Sienna who examines it. “You are the only one capable of using the abilities of the Dante clan. I trust that you will aid me in a plan that I have?” “I will do whatever entertains me. Sienna, there is an examination coming up. It is to determine the next Sannin or Sannins. Will you take part?” “Of course. I have to show the advancements to each homunculis and myself on that day.” “Why not just send me?” “What?” “I can fuse with each homunculus and yourself and fight in the Sannin Exams. It’ll be as if I am all of you at once. I’ll be fused with all of you and will use the soul of Heartless. Basically it’ll be me using the moves of myself and Heartless. Since Heartless can basically use each and every souls it contains it would be the equivalent to me fusing with the diamond necklace you have somewhere on you. And then, in fusing with all of you, I will have your properties in myself. Your ability to regenerate, Graze metal hair, Elizabeth’s naturally hard skin, Steels built in masks, all available for me to use. I’d be a monster.” Ella grins darkly, much unlike how the old Sienna would grin and Sienna wonders if part of her soul was combined with another darker soul or if that was her true dark side. “We’ll go over tat on a nother date. Right now we have to focus on the task at hand. Restoring the other homunculis and granting them more special abilities.” “Certainly,” states Ella, her grin falling, as her face twists in thought. “Please sort each homunculis and label them according to their abilities. I have to recreate Heartless and Sai.” “Hm, Sai…” Sienna couldn’t hear Ella’s muttering of Sai’s name because she was nothing more than a human now. She hated this. She was the weakest of them all perhaps. She wished she were a Dante again.   Finding a secluded place near the outskirts of Hidden Alchemy, Sienna begins the process of restoring Heartless. Sai, still using the body of the katana of Shaneko, strolls over at Ella touches heated tar to her chest. She winces as the tar burns away skin and her Orochi Power regenerates the flesh over and over. After a minute she sets down the tar. It rapidly cools and then breaks. In a flash of like a tiny pitch black blob takes the place of the split tar. Sienna glances over at Sai who stares contently at the black blob. What if Heartless didn’t want to return in this body? What if Heartless was too afraid to come into existence again? Would this work? Finally, yellow slits appear on the surface of the blob. The slits slowly form tiny orbs of yellow as a long line stretches across the surface of the blob beneath the yellow orbs. The line breaks apart to reveal numerous rows of sharp white teeth. Tendrils fling from the creature and up to Sienna’s neck. They wrap around and around before the blob flings itself close to Sienna’s face. It smiles happily before touching what appeared to its nose to Sienna’s. Sienna fights back the urge to tear up as she grabs for the tiny creature. “Welcome back Heartless,” she laughs as the creature echoes her laughter. “Heartless,” states Sai as the creature turns its head to him. Sai extends his arms only for tendrils to unravel from around Sienna’s neck and around Sai’s arms. It flings itself up and into Sai’s arms happily. “It’s your turn.” “I’m fine in this body, love.” “I would prefer you receive a few more enhancements.” “But I have.” “What?” “Unlike the other homunculis, I was recreated already. I was recreated from Shaneko’s katana. Whenever I’m in Shaneko’s presence, her chakra can protect me from severe damage. I can also absorb her chakra to do whatever I need with. And, when I come close to being destroyed, I am wrapped in chakra and simply cannot fight. Nothing can affect me at that point.” Sienna just stares at Sai. Was that possible? What if Sienna could make all of her homunculis in the same way? “Heartless, go run along now. Okay?” Doing as his father requested, tendrils fling themselves into the trees. The tendrils wrapped around Sai’s arms lash at the ground as Heartless motions away from Sai. Using the tendrils gliding along the ground Heartless begins to walk through the forest. Using the tendrils I the trees, heartless flings himself forward and balances himself. Once Heartless was far enough away, Sai flings himself to his knees behind Sienna. He tugs her close to him and begins to glide his cheek along Sienna’s. “I like these forms very much.” “Easy Sai.” “No one’s around. I checked already,” Sai coos with a small grin forming along his face. Sienna begins to wrestle free but finds it harder with each passing second. “My resistance isn’t as good as it use to be. Don’t push it Sai.” “I’ll be careful.” Sienna turns around to glare into Sai’s eyes but freezes. She stares into his dark gray eyes and can’t move again. Sai slowly brings his lips dangerously close to Sienna’s. “I’ll go easy since this is the first time for both our forms.” He chuckles as his lips touch Sienna’s. He glides his over hers slowly; he was only barely breathing. Sienna’s hands shake as Sai moves his lips from hers to her neck again. His breathing flows normally, his cool breath forming goosebumps all along her neck. Sienna begins to speak when Sai cuts her off, “Just close your eyes.” Sai’s words flowed slowly from his mouth as a low growl rips from his throat. Sai’s hands slide all along Sienna’s sides before they begin grabbing at the belt loops on her shorts. “Having fun?” Startled, Sienna jumps and Sai flickers inches in front of Tes. “Were,” he growls. Tes laughs lowly before stepping around Sai and making her way over to Sienna. “Everyone is here but Sonnet, Ella has sorted out the homunculis, and we’re waiting for you to inform us of what to do.” Sienna clears her throat before getting to her feet. “I’ll be there in a minute.” Sienna’s voice was a little shaky. As if she had been startled badly. Well, she had seeing as she didn’t have any advanced sensing skills like she had nor did she have any form of doujutsu. Tes chuckles before making her way out of the area. “Um, would you go and find Heatless… for me?” Sai was directly in front of Sienna as soon as she said Heartless. “We’ll have our fun later then,” states Sai turning from Sienna slowly. He walks for a while before the trees cover him and then he flickers in the direction where Heartless had gone. Sai silently lurks in the forest before hearing Sonnet speak, “This will be our little secret. All right, Heartless?” Sai, after hearing that, flickers through the trees before reaching a tiny cottage. Sai glowers at Sonnet a yard from him before his expression turns surprised. Sai stares at Sonnet clutching a tiny bundle close to him, Heartless clinging to his back looking at the bundle. “Wh-what’s going on?” No one speaks. Heartless turns his attention to Sai, antenna like appendages tugging out of his form before falling to lay against his head, as if he was ashamed. Sai walks towards Sonnet slowly, his hands extended outward in a way to show he meant no harm. “What little secret? What is that bundle?” Heartless extends his tendrils all around Sonnet except for behind. Heartless stares deeply into Sai’s eyes before leaping from Sonnet’s shoulders. Sai stares at Heartless a moment before noticing Sonnet flickering out of the exit provided by Heartless. Sai begins to chase Sonnet only for Heartless to launch tendrils in Sai’s path each time. “Heartless,” snarls Sai slowly to emphasize the fury in his tone. Heartless’s antenna’s seemed to cling very close to his body now. His eyes slip away from Sai in a sort of ashamed way but he does not retract his tendrils. Sai crouches down and begins to take information from the soil when a tendril whips inches from Sai’s hand. What was Heartless trying to keep from Sai so intensely? Sai stand and inches towards Heartless slowly. Frightened, Heartless slinks away double distance to Sai each time growing farther and farther away. Sai extends a hand to Heartless only for him to flicker away at a faster pace than Sai remembered Heartless could go. Sai figured he’d ask Sonnet another time or return to get information but had to go after Heartless. He rushes in Heartless’ direction as Sonnet seems to appear from the brush on the other side. He had doubled back. He bounces the tiny bundle as a hand reaches out of it. He stares in Sai’s direction a while before flickering away. Sienna was finally done. The only one left was Sonnet. But, in truth, he had already undergone a change so changing him wouldn’t be of much good. Heartless rushes from the forest and wraps himself around Sienna before she’d realized it. “What’s the matter?” Heartless whimpers as Sienna glares in the direction Heartless had come. A figured comes into view as Sienna claps her hands together. Just when Sienna prepares to slap her hands against the ground Tes stops her. Sienna looks at Tes and then at the figure again. It had stopped and seemed to be facing Sienna. It extends its hands outward and makes his way out of the cover of tress. Sienna shakes her head from side to side upon seeing who it was. She was about to attack Sai. “What happened, Sai? Why’s Heartless so afraid?” “He’s scared of me.” A frown forms on Sienna’s face as she stares at Sai. “What did you do?” “Nothing. I… nothing…” Sienna unravels Heartless from around her and sets him down. He whimpers and scrambles over to Tes as Sienna storms down the path to Sai. Sai simply stands there with his hands outstretched. Once she gets near enough she stares deeply into Sai’s eyes. “You’ll know if I’ve taken control of him or not.” Naomi’s warning echoes in Sienna’s head. Long ago Naomi had mentioned that to her. Sienna thought nothing of it as long as Sai was more powerful than Naomi. So the thought never crossed her mind. But now she found herself wondering I this was Sai or not. She notices a frown form on Sai’s face, his arms falling to his sides. “What does that mean? You think I did something to him? I’d never hurt Heartless.” Sienna does not respond. “You think Naomi took control of me?” Again, Sienna does not respond. Sai grabs for Sienna’s arms but she evades his grasp. She steps back from him and turns to face her homunculis. “Leave us.” Words = 2,014 Collab ---> Valius   And that was the day when I realized that Anu was very special to me. In more ways than one. My other side usually comes out when my seal is revealed but it didn't. I don't know if it was Anu's presence or that he didn't want to come out but he didn't and still hasn't. What am I doing today? Well, Anu wanted to visit Heartless in Hidden Alchemy so I'm here with her. She's right there just chatting with a homunculus of Ella's. I watch her for a while before she turns to me with a confused expression. "Yeah?" She makes her way to my side.
"His name is Tybalt and he says that Ella is no longer existent. He says that I should go home." What?
"You want me to talk to him?"
"About what?" So dense.
"Nothing, Anu. Let's look for her ourselves. She hangs out in the forest, right?"
"I wouldn't wander into the forest with homunculis in such high amounts in the village. Apparently something's happening." Who said that? I turn around to see a woman with pale features staring at me. A chill rocks through me and I shiver. What is this? "You're staring at a being composed mainly of ice. Nice to meet you, I'm Tes." A tiny black blob sees to cling to Tes' back which Anu and I notice at the same time.
"Heartless," asks Anu as the blob jumps. It shifts around before yellow eyes fall upon Anu. Tendrils slowly lash out to wrap around Anu's arms. I resist the urge to attack the creature upon realizing who Heartless is. Collab told me about him. Heartless seems to fling himself onto Anu and cling close to her. He whimpers lowly.
"Where's Ella?"
"Ella is no more. She is Sienna now. Hello Anu and Valius. I'm surprised you're not here as Collab." What did she just say? How did she know that? I frown at her as Collab begins swearing in my head. "I tend to watch things from the shadows. When I heard about you and how you know things about Sienna I had o find out what I could about you. I saw you change right before my eyes twice. Once when you first left this village and the second time when you were seen doing so by Anu, Scion, and Lucifer. They sure move slowly," she almost laughed.
"Who the h**l are you?" Upon saying that I was Valius no longer but Collab. The rich orange in my hair slips to the tips before dripping off. My eyes grow bloodshot before only the pupils are red.
"Welcome back to Alchemy, Collab. I am Sienna's right hand girl. I'm the one who gathers information for her. Now, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to take a stroll through the forest." I glare at her as she slides past me. A shiver rocks through me as she laughs loudly. By the time I turn around she is at the mouth of the forest.
"Get back here so I can beat the h**l out of you!"
"Collab," Anu gasps. For a moment my face loses all expression but then I shake my head and turn my attention back to Tes. She flips me the bird and it's over. I rush for her location as Anu follows behind me. The other homunculis seem to watch us go but do nothing. What the heck is that all about?
Words = 573
Days = 9 Scion & Lucifer    It was all Lucifer's idea. He said we should try and find Ella before Anu and Valius while I said that we should just go with the others. Now, I couldn't just let my beloved brother run off by himself so we made the split together. Now we're on the far end of Alchemy with only the company of a boring homunculis. He's all sickly looking and boring. I wonder if he's the weakling of the group.
"Where's Ella?" I look at Lucifer knelt on the ground examining the homunculus out of the corner of his eye before I look at the homunculus.
"Yeah, where is she?" I ask soon after my brother.
"Not here obviously," grunts the homunculus.
"Well then..."
"...tell us where to find her," I conclude.
"You two look smart so you can find her yourself. I don't do requests."
"It's like we're talking to..."
".. the Cheshire Cat," Lucifer sighs. "Maybe we..."
"should go find the others."
"They'd find Ella..."
"...before this loser will."
"What?" He was mad now. We could see his pale features growing more colored and his eyes growing redder.
"I mean..."
"...he's out here for a reason."
"Lucifer, I'd bet..."
"... they sent him out here..."
"...just to get rid of him," I state shrugging my shoulders at the same time that Lucifer shrugs his. As soon as he growls at us, we take that as the sign that we'd gotten him to play our little game.

Fill my heart with song
All at once, several white crystal obelisks, seething with the element of fire behind them appeared, striking upwards through the ground like lightning. From these obelisks several men are spawned an hour, starting off as Crystalline golems before taking the form of Hido Nara.
Let me sing for ever more.

Alastair, smiled at what he had done. His first transmutation circle. However, that was nothing to brag about on his way to see Edward Howard, the Full Metal Alchemist. He had better things to think about. He had his studies to look over in his mind while he walked. He needed them fresh because he had no idea what to expect from Edward. All he knew was that he would not be disappointed. He would not be disappointed by the Full metal Alchemist. He continued his walk until he got to a modest house in central. It was nothing compared to the home that he lived or the homes that he knew most of his kind to live in, but it was not too bad none the less. He knocked on the door and waited a few minutes until he head the sound of boots making their way to the door to open it. He stood calming himself instantly. This would be the first time he would train under a teacher, something that he was looking quite forward to at this point. The door open calmly and Alastair was greeted by a person who might as well of been his age. It was not that he looked young, don't get me wrong. It was his stature. The great Full Metal Alchemist was quite a short person in stature. Alastair had known this of course and had known in advance to not say a word about his height because it seemed like the man had an uncontrollable Napoleon complex, or inferiority complex, he was not really sure either way. After a few seconds Alastair finally bowed his head in respect. "My name is Alastair Crowley and I have come asking for your training."

"So you want to be my student eh?" Edward Howard broke into a smile and started to laugh. "You know what it takes to become my student? A hand written order from the Fuhrer. I am assuming that you don't have that?" Alastair did not, he knew that. He sighed This was going to be harder than he thought it was going to be. "Well . . ." he began to say and then Edward began to laugh again. "Come on, I'm just kidding man. Come in, take a load off, make yourself at home." With that, Edward Howard simply walked into the house, leaving Alastair at the doorstep. Alastair was quite surprised at how well that went and after a moment followed Edward into the house, closing the door behind him. He knew he wold get in but he didn't expect it to be this quick. He followed Exdward to the dining room where it appeared that he had disturbed his new teachers dinner. He felt bad for that, needless to say. Edward simply motioned for him to sit down. "You hungry? I only just started to eat so you might as well join me." It was about that moment when his stomach growled. He did not realize that he had not eaten in a while. He was in fact quite hungry at the moment and wanted to eat. "Thank you." With that Alastair sat down and began to eat. The food was good, he liked that. He ate his full within a few minutes, just piling the soup in to his mouth while Edward watched in gaping disbelief. "I see you haven't eaten in a while it looks like." After several helpings, Alastair finally stopped eating. "Thanks, that was good food," he finally said to Edward. "Your welcome. Now get to bed, you have a long day in the morning." Alastair smiled and went upstairs going to sleep in the first bed that he could find. As sleep began to take control and try to force him down, he began to contemplate his day. All in all it was not bad. It lloked like he finally had a trainer that he could respect. The legendary Full Metal Alchemist was no one to think badly of, after all.

Alastair awoke after sleeping for a long time. He had no idea how long he slept, but by the look of the sun outside his window, it was nearing noon. He was somewhat confused as to why he slept that long and more importantly why his teacher did not wake him up so that they could train. Still, that was something to wait till later to find out. He got out of bed and put on his clothes. Walking down the stairs to the main room of the house, he spotted his teacher, Edward Howard, asleep in a chair in front of the fireplace. Now it made sense why he slept so late, because his teacher ended up sleeping later. Alastair was more than a little interested in that fact as he smiled to himself. It was going to be a long day, to say the least. He sat down across the room from Edward Howard and let him sleep while waiting for him to wake up. He did not expect it to be long and he was not exactly sure if it would be smart to wake up his teacher himself. Still, he wanted to get to his training. Looking around the room, he took in the sight. It was not much, but what was there was beautiful and in the long run that is really what matters. The fireplace was an excellent example of good workmanship. Made of brick and cement with plaster over that. The fire itself was kept from directly harming the room by a wall of glass. THe chairs that he was sitting on were basic, but sturdy and practical. All in all it was a very beautiful house in its own way. Alastair continued to think like that, not noticing that Edward had finally awaken.

"Well, since I'm all rested up, I guess we should start on your training," Edward Howard said bringing Alastair out of his thoughts and back to the world. He did not realize that Edward Howard had awoken. He quickly got to his feet and stood at attention. Edward Howard smiled and chuckled a little. "You don't need to be like that. This will be relatively painless, I promise." With that he got up and stretched. As Alastair relaxed he noticed Edwards right arm and leg peeking out from under his sleeve and pants leg. He was starting to understand why this man was called the Fullmetal Alchemist. "Automail arm and leg," was all he stated. It seemed that Edward was used to hearing such a thing since he simply smiled. "Yea, since I was young. Alastair thought to ask him to specify, but thought against it. He probably did not want to know in all truth and honesty. Still, It was a story that would probably bother him for the remainder of his time under the tutelage of Edward Howard. After stretching, Edward Howard yawned. He was rested, but still trying to shake the chains of sleep off of his body. "Before breakfast, we need to begin your studying. Still before studying, I need to see how far you have gone in your training so that it can be assessed. All in all, it is probably going to be a little while before we get something to eat today." Alastair sighed, at this news, and his stomach gave a more audible growl. "Great, this is turning out to be a long day from the get goes” Alastair said in a half sarcastic manner. Edward Howard simply nodded and smiled. “Follow me” was all that he said before walking back towards the stairs, planning to go up to up. Alastair was a little surprised, but then again he had never seen a library down on the first floor so maybe it was on the second. After climbing the stairs, Alastair continued to follow Edward. They walked by the bedroom that Alastair had slept in the previous night and Alastair looked in and saw that to his surprise, that bed had already been made. That was a little creepy to say the least, especially since he had not met anyone in the house last night nor did he personally make it this morning.

The lowly King walked back to the village he was hailed from. HE was the one who brought alchemy to this nation. While for him it was a curse but to the ninjas here..they looked at is power. Now the once human now turned diety was amazed by what his small group of followers did. He walked into the village and onlyclapped his hands. While he was walking his stance started to change from walking like a peasant into a king..once he saw all the people waiting for him. OR who he thought was waiting for him. "Excellent..Excellent. I am here I am back to be your new king...LEt us rejoyce and be marry that I have returned."The king said as he lifted up his head. He had a certain looked that he was not to be triffled with. He only gave a glint of a smile as he continued to walk through the village. Smiling at the many villagers. As he saw the beauty of a flower. He reacehd down and touched it..as he did it started to turn into gold. He plucked the flower up and placed it behind his ear. IT gave him a sort of flavor..or repour now..He was their king and he had to look good as their leader. He only smiled again. "Seem things never change...Especailly when your back on Earth." The king said as he conitnued to walk through the village. Now he would make sure that nobody was there to mess with him again.

"I suppose Alchemists deserve some sort of leader.. But I believe that position was already taken over.. So I would like it if you just left.." A bubbling gurgling voice says, as a pink substance leaks from the eyes, nose, mouth and ears of an Alchemist standing a few feet away. The alchemist themselves appears to begin to rot away and soon falls to the ground, as the gel like liquid substance emerges and rises up to stand before The King. the few bones it had in it's body all converging and being used to create teeth, as a faceless part of the body opens, revealing seemingly endless jagged rows of sharp teeth gleaming white in the lights from Hidden Alchemy. Water was slowly trickling from this odd creature and winding it's way a through any and all crevices in the ground and moving towards The King, though this movement would be hardly noticeable due to it being only a handful of small trickling streams in an attempt to pool at the king's feet. Instantly twin hands emerged from her substance, that were not there before, each one forming hand seals rapidly, instantly causing the Waterfall Basin technique to go into effect, causing a large volume of water to emerge from the ground around them, the water becoming tainted by Parasito's own substance and becoming the same substance that Parasito currently was, which coincidentally was water, so there was no change. Without even moving, Parasito decides to speak once again, as the mouth like series of bones begins to grin. "Bye bye, fleshbag." She says, converting the water into her own substance and giving it the effect of corroding the human body away. Techniques Meliae, Parasito Corrosion of Flesh A special trait that allows for Parasito to be able to gain a sort of acidic property to her own mass. This technique actually allows for her substance to be able to act against anything of a fleshy base that she may touch. Because she's mainly a small mass of Gel like substance, she cant really fight with blade or fist. Therefore her body has adapted in order to allow for her to actually harm an opponent with more then just splashes from her substance at them. Which would do little to nothing without this. Of course, this attack does nothing more then actually allow her substance to be altered in such a way that physical contact burns away at the outer levels of the opponent's skin. If left for long periods of time [2 posts] the opponent's skin would erode and fall away deeper and deeper, as if it was being drilled into, underneath where her substance is. This does not work when she is within a host.

 As the battle began, nobody would liekly notice a small flurry of bubbles floating closer to the scene. The bubbles would soon cluster together and form a humanoid shape. This shape soon focused into the rag-clad form of Hedoro. She was still a decent distance from the King and Parasito, not close enough to actually get involved, but close enough to see what was going to happen. Well, sense rather than see, anyways. Either way, she would wait, find out what happened next before jumping into a battle.

Mortals were always a challange. They loved to fight. They loved to resist. IT was there nature. It was what they did best. How could he not expect these people not to do any different. He only smiled as he felt something. Midas only out reached his hands as he felt the change in the pressure. Spirtual pressure is what the gods called it. Chakra is what ninjas called it. Tension what other people called it. IT didn't matter to the King. He was the king. King started to look down as he pressed his hand against the ground turning it into gold. He reached on his side and drew out his large staff. The staff which would usually be too heavy for most regulars humans..he lifted with ease. He twirled the staff hitting the gel substance that was infront of him trying to break the bones that were infront of him. The water technique. The mortal was good. But the mortal was dealing with the King of Alchemy. The King quickly switched to his shield blocking the water from splashing on him. However he was still pushed back some feet. AS he stood back up He only touched the stream with his hand instantly turning it to gold and everything that was connected to that same water.
"Who dares stand against me.."
Midas said slowly. As the Creator of Alchemy looked he swung his staff and shield around. He was now ready to fight the good fight. Defend his nation to the death.
