"Damn it!!!" Soki yelled as he quickly rushed to the floor, taking four rocks and tossing each one into four distinct alchemy return circles."AHHHHH!!!!" shouted Ruby at the top of her lungs, "Where'd he go!!!" Asked Damian as he looked around him."He could still be in the area!" Said Christopher. "No!" Yelled Soki, "he ran away to avoid battle. He knew that if he tried to attack any of you I'd kill him," said Soki as sweat ran down his face.He stood up from the floor. "I'm sorry Ruby," he said as he turned to her. "I should've attacked him the instant he showed up," he added.He placed a hand on his face, "I wanted to gather some info on him first. I'm terribly sorry for causing you pain while I could bring you closure Ruby," said Soki.Ruby stomped her foot on the ground as hard as she could, "I'll kill him myself Soki! You didn't cause anything!!" She said.Damian and Christopher lowered their guards a little, "so where is he now?" Asked Christopher. "I don't know, but it's clea

Kipple was running through the halls, desperately going as fast as possible towards Tyger's cell.He'd prayed in his heart that Tyger was somehow safe and sound. But the more Drakemen prisoners he'd come into contact with, the more and more he'd felt like that wouldn't be true.Bodies were littered left and right throughout the prison. Both of prisoners and guards.His anger continued to boil within him, and so did his worry. He was worried about the chief, about his comrades, about Emilia, about the citizens, about Tyger.... He was worried about Earl.He didn't know the jist of it, but he'd do what he could. He was close now, just one more corner and he would be turning into the corridor of the cell.His heart pounded faster and faster. He was seconds away from knowing if Tyger was dead or alive. So many thoughts ran across his mind, but he didn't have the time for any of that.He turned around the corner, still sprinting at full speed. Ahead he saw them, a sight that was completely

Earl stood dazed for a moment. He was roughly 6 meters away from chief Uvo, and he had Tyger in his hands, but he couldn't believe it.Chief Uvo had a spear made of blood running straight through his chest. And standing in front of him was none other than Dia, the blood Alchemist, clutching the other end of the spear.The chief was stabbed? Was the chief going to die!? Why the hell was Dia here!? The ORA... Of course they'd be responsible for something like this."DAD!!!!" yelled Tyger as he broke free from Earl's grasp, "grab the child!!" Yen's voice rang loud and clear in his head."Tyger!!" Earl reached out and grabbed Tyger, pulling him back as his eyes zeroed on Dia. The second Earl pulled him, a blood spike flew straight into the ground where Tyger once was.Earl shot a glare at Dia. "YOU!!!" He said, almost growling in a cold and sinister tone. Dia finally realised who it was that stood before him."That white hair... That scar on your left arm... How could I miss it?" Smiled D

Standing on a pile of corpses was Spike and Jester, along with a few ally Drakemen warriors, all covered in blood and all panting."These men..." One of the Drakemen said, "where did they get this devil's magic?" He asked, turning to Spike."I've never seen a Drakeman use devil's magic by simply swallowing a blue liquid," he added. Spike shook his head, "it's not alchemy.""This is something else. Something a lot more sinister and disgusting," said Spike. "Something isn't right either. Drakemen can't use alchemy because they basically don't have any mana in them. But there's definitely mana in Storm... But it's not normal mana." "What do you mean?" Asked the Drakeman, "this is a drug. It's made with mana but it's not alchemy, and I don't think it simply 'gave' your people the ability to use alchemy, it only strengthened them," said Spike."And if we don't find and take down all these Storm users, it could be really bad," he added.Jester turned to Spike and pointed in a certain direc

Tyger was stationed outside the house, hiding behind a rock. Eight of them, they were eight traitors with red marks on their foreheads.He'd heard a loud scream coming from the inside, and he'd seen one of them get scolded for looking into the house.Emilia was in danger. The more he hesitated, the worse things would get. He didn't have any time to waste.He'd thought up multiple plans, but no matter what he'd thought up, he'd always see himself getting killed by the end of it.He was weak. He knew he was weak. But still, that wouldn't stop him from trying. Fighting eight Drakemen warriors? And they were all armed?No plan could account for a small boy winning, not in the short notice he had. So he decided on something he would've never considered in the past.Now that the entirety of Wyvtenament was in turmoil and chaos, now that each Drakeman fought or ran for their lives, now that his father was dead... He was done being a coward.He took a step forward, coming out from behind the
