Wrath of the Sun [Alphonse]

[Vores V. Vyers]

Reole, a town that after two years of nonstop reconstruction was finally nearing completion of their goal. The town was slightly bigger than it had been previously and just about everything was put right that had been destroyed. From what Vores had seen earlier the citizens of Reole had grown much closer due to the destruction they had witnessed and the rebuilding they had done together. All in all it was a town that Vores believed understood why he did what he did. He was making people's lives more exciting and bringing enemies together with his fireworks.

It was for that reason he was here today, standing upon what had once been the Church of Leto. The church was one of the few buildings in the city that still was nothing save rubble and broken statues, one of which had an arm extending what had been the length of the church. Vores planned to give the people of Reole a duo of gifts this evening.

Checking his pocket watch Vores looked at the time, noting that there was still a hour and a half before he would have to leave the site. Before he did that however he would get to see his other little fireworks set throughout the city from what he considered the best viewing spot. That viewing spot happening to be the head of the largest Leto statue, which also happened to be the one with the transmuted arm.

Climbing up the arm quickly and trotting along the length, Vores quickly took his seat upon Reole's former patron god's head and removed his mask so as to have a better view of the city. In the pale moonlight the city was rather beautiful, it's pale stone reflecting the moonlight quite nicely. Soon that pale stone would be reflecting his fireworks.

It was just then that Vores noticed a figure moving up the set of step to the Church of Leto, or what remained of it anyways. Vores could by no means tell who it was, save that the individual was too small to be an adult.


"Oh my, I get to have company for my show."


In an attempt to make it easier for the newcomer to spot him, Vores stood up upon Leto's head waving his right arm gently as he did so as to welcome his visitor.

[Alphonse Elric]

Had it really been two years? It hardly seemed it, two whole years since he had gotten his body back. It had taken a little getting used to at first, his senses were heightened due to the fact that he had not used them in so long, especially the sensation of touch. To be able to feel again after four years was both exhilarating and a little uncomfortable at the same time if only for the fact that his skin was hypersensitive to the point where even a simple handshake caused something like an electric shock to ripple through his spine, but it was worth it. Of course the best part had been finally being able to taste the apple pie that Winry made, she had promised him that once he had his body back she would bake him a pie and eagerly Alphonse had picked up a fork and dived in.

The younger Elric chuckled to himself as he remembered that moment, brushing his bangs aside. It had been a while since he had been in Reole, the last time he had visited the town was still under major re-construction, now though it seemed that it was mostly finished, there were a few scaffoldings around but most of the town looked almost brand new. Sliding his hands into the pockets of his coat Alphonse made his way through the town, stopping every so often to admire the workmanship, it was great to see how well things had turned out here, the whole town pitching in to fix the place up and the effort had been worth it in the end it seemed.

Alphonse looked up as he approached the church of Leto, a building that thanks to Edward was in disarray, parts of the walls were crumbling and then there was the statue that his brother had transmuted in his fight with father Cornello…Edward always did do things to excess, and Alphonse couldn’t help but smile. Gold eyes drew upwards as something caught his attention….someone was waving at him? Not only that, but this person just so happened to be standing on the very statue that Edward had transmuted…who was that?

Seeing that he had indeed caught the young man's attention, Vores tucked his mask under his cloak, behind his belt and proceeded to run along the elongated arm of Leto his own arms out to the sides. As he ran Vores found himself moving to the left and right slightly as if to imitate a bird flying. Admittedly the act was a tad childish, but Vores was just in too good of a mood to really care whether it was childish or not. His presents to Reole had been planted and more importantly he would have an audience to share his perfect seat.

"My friend welcome, welcome. You've come just in time for the fireworks I've prepared to celebrate Reole's unity in their rebuilding efforts. Tonight lights shall beat back the darkness like the resolve of Reole beat back their despair when this town was ruined. Tonight people shall scream with surprise and joy."

In his naturally over dramatic manner Vores gave an overly flashy bow to the young man before turning on his heel walking a few steps back towards the statue. Would the boy accept his invitation to watch the show from a privledged seat or would he reject Vores due to his. . . eccentric behavior?

[Alphonse Elric]

Alphonse stared up at the man for a long moment, unsure whether the figure in the moonlight was really there or whether his mind was so tired that he was imagining the whole thing. Suddenly the man moved, quickly running with arms outstretched as along the arm of the Leto statue that seconds before had caused Alphonse to reminisce. The younger Elric wasn’t exactly sure what to make of him as he moved from left to right as he ran in a somewhat childish manner that he seemed to be enjoying. As the man finally landed upon the ground Alphonse found himself taking a small step back instinctively.

“My friend welcome, welcome” The man began to speak sounding rather jovial. “You've come just in time for the fireworks I've prepared to celebrate Reole's unity in their rebuilding efforts. Tonight lights shall beat back the darkness like the resolve of Reole beat back their despair when this town was ruined. Tonight people shall scream with surprise and joy” Fireworks? Something about that seemed a little off, though Alp0honse tried to ignore the niggling feeling that something wasn’t quite right with what he had said. Perhaps it was innocent enough, perhaps he really was setting off fireworks simply to celebrate the people’s efforts in rebuilding the town, still even as the man bowed to him which only really served to confuse him, did not alleviate the feeling he was getting.

As the man moved to walk away Alphonse took a step forward, finally deciding to speak. “Fireworks?” he asked wanting to know exactly what this man was going to do. The way he had spoken about his ‘plans’, he had sounded so enthusiastic, like a child getting excited over a new toy, but children never gave Alphonse the chills this man was currently sending down his spine.
