Ed stared at me and his golden eyes didn't seem so friendly and cute anymore.
"Where the hell were you?! Why is my coat ripped and why are you bleeding?!" Ed screamed.
"Well....um....you see I woke up really early and I was hyper and felt like I needed to go on a walk, so I went on a walk around the city and what happened was I made a wrong turn and went down an alley then that Lust girl and her fat friend Gluttony who tried to eat me come and cornered me. We fought and I got this scratch." I explained pulling up my shirt and showing the gash which has almost already healed.
It still hurt like hell though but at least the bleeding stopped.
"So where is Lust and Gluttony?" Ed asked.
"I don't know..." I said starting to think. What if they come and attack Ed and Al. What if they I put them all in danger?

Rose decided to take us to a ceremony to show us that Father Cornello was using a gift of God and not alchemy. Al let me sit on his shoulders so I could see clearly. Ed had to stand on a box.
We watched carefully as a girl brought up a dead bird and how Cornello just picked it up and red sparks appeared from his hand and like magic the bird was alive.
I looked closely and saw that it's eyes weren't black but red.
"See Father Cornello isn't using alchemy. He was sent here from the sun god to help Lior." Rose said as if she was in love with the dude.
While she was talking I was putting the pieces together. 'So Lust and Gluttony are here and that guy has to have a philosopher stone. Lust must have given him the stone...but why?'
"He's using alchemy, but he's breaking the laws." Ed said thinking as well.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"In alchemy there is a thing called equivalent exchange. To gain something, something of equal value must be lost. Like the radio I fixed. I couldn't have made it bigger or have better sound. I could just fix it." Al explained.
Rose got mad and made us go back to the rooms.

We were all hanging out in me and Ed's room when I was looking out of the window and saw Rose at a grave.
"Rose told me she is working here so Father Cornello can bring her boyfriend back. Her parents died at a young age and her boyfriend was the only thing she had left." Al said looking out with me.
"He can't bring someone back." Ed said. "No one can."
"But brother what if he really is a holy man?" Al asked.
"He's nothing but a faker. He's using a philosopher stone. Lust must have given it to him." I said sitting next to Ed and trying to figure out why she would give him a stone.
They both looked at me. "Why would she give him one and how did she make one?"
"Beats me. The only thing I know is she didn't give him the stone cause he's a holy man or anything. I don't even think Cornello is a priest. All I know I know is Lust is doing this so she can benefit something from this. But what?" I explained.
"Who is this Lust?" Al asked very confused.
Both me and Ed explained everything.
"So she's keeping a secret from the State Alchemist as well?" Al asked.
"Yep. She's fairly good at lying. I believe her alchehistory story." Ed said smiling.
All looked at me and I think he smiled. But who knows he's a suit of armor. "Welcome to the club of secrets."
