Blackstone groaned at the incessant ringing in his ears, he blinked the dust that covered his eyelids off. His eyes widened in horror and he almost forgot how to breath. He could feel the panic welling up in his chest. The sky was dark as night, red lightning circled the area above them and was scattered in multiple directions. Small fires in the area made the place glow.

That’s not what scared him. It was the gigantic black doors that hovered above them.

Father spoke again. “First, I will take your alchemists’ lives, then I will take the lives of the soldiers, I will leave those in power and will enjoy the show at you scramble like headless chickens!” Father cackled madly.

That’s when he noticed the look of horror on Olivier’s face, she was not staring at the sky nor at Father, Blackstone followed her gaze and swore his heart stopped.

On the ground all their fighting alchemist kneeled on the ground, heads tilted to the sky and hands holding their throats. Their faces pinched with pain, mouths opened in silent yell and their eyes...glowed a bright blue. All alchemist but one.

The Ice-Storm Alchemist.

Oliver and Blackstone shared a look before rushing to his side. Said alchemist struggled to stand, every movement looked like it hurt. The pair of soldiers wasted no time in pulling him upright even as he stumbled and seemed shaky on his own two feet. Olivier looked at his eyes and gasped in surprise, Blackstone glanced, and saw why. Unlike the other alchemist, this alchemist’s eyes glowed a bright red and had quite a feral appearance.

Toshiro glanced at the other alchemist, to the tired faces of the two holding him and finally to the bodies of the soldiers on the ground. He shifts a glare at Father that would make a normal man faint on the spot. He could feel the anger powering up his spiritual energy. It was time for some extreme measures. He just hoped that the people would continue to fight with him after rather than at him as well.

Blackstone’s and Olivier’s eyes widened as Storm’s hands gave off a soft glow, the glow began to spread to his hands and the rest of this body in intricate patterns, looking almost like the outline of a dragon from legends.
