Torn

Himiko in Disguise

Y/N POV

~Flashback~

The screaming! It hasn't stopped yet...

Please...stop...

Why...?

The screaming is almost done...

I see them, the youngest of the human sacrifices needed to create a philosopher's stone.

I don't want people to suffer...I don't...you get more power with a philosopher's stone...but...you trap people's souls...they suffer and hurt...so much...I don't want anyone to...! The philosopher's stone...it uses the power of these poor people's souls...all to seemingly bypass the law of equivalent exchange...no...no...

I finally pull hard enough and the chains break.

I use my arms to drag myself across the floor to them.

They're unconscious, on the floor.

I...still...have...time...

I knock down the animatronics. I rip off the heads with almost all my energy.

I use the blood running down my face, from a fresh cut in my forehead, to draw a blood seal inside the animatronics to tie the souls of the children, one of the few things I know to do in alchemy.

I raise my hands and clap them together.

The children's souls are trapped.

"Huh..?" One of them says.

"Maybe...now...all of...you...won't suffer..." I mutter out before collapsing.

My eyes snap open. I look around frantically.

I sigh a breath of relief.

Just a flashback...I'm fine...everything is fine...

I look at my closet. I know inside my closet, the animatronics are shut down. I shake my hand and get out of bed.

I don't really want to go back to sleep...or look at my closet...I need to distract myself...

I spot my potion area I recently set up beside my work desk.

I know...

I walk over to my potion area and sit down in front of it.

I can use my horns to create lethal poisons or "marbles" that nullify the affects/effects of certain quirks. Occasionally, I can create special "marbles" that make a person completely immune to any quirk if they consume the marble.

The common nullify "marble" will last until you digest it.

The advanced "marble" will last for 3-4 minuets after consumption.
