The search for water of Eden pt1

First topic message reminder :

*shiri waited in the deserts of ishbal for renkinjutsu wearing a desert robe*

*shoots an arrow at renkin but slowly so he can use it as the skeleton attempts to wrap its legs around renkin*

Renkinjutsu: *transmutates the arrow causing the arrowhead to explode*

*the skeleton shatters to pieces from the explosion* how strange *the ground begins to shake violently and the dirt shifts as six more skeletons come out of the ground 3 in front of shiri and three in front of renkin all of the skeletons have a red gem similar to the first skeleton attatched to them* renkin are you thinking what im thinking? *shiri draws his bow and aims it at a skeleton he taps the arrow setting the activation energy of the reaction to fully complete the reaction in five seconds giving him three seconds to fire it as he lets it fly*

Renkinjutsu: These stones seem similar to the mythical Philosopher's Stone. *he touches it with his transmutation circle scars* *the skeleton erupts into bubbles and bone dust flies out*

(heh you picked that up did you?) but these stones are different they seem to be temporarily animating these objects whoever were dealing with is using the powers of the philosophers stone to use necromancy *shiri's arrow detonates and all three of the skeletons shatters to pieces leaving only dust as the remnants shiri puts his quiver back on his back and begins to ivestigate the ground*

Renkinjutsu: Whoever is controlling them needs to be stopped

OOC: yeah I remember an episode of the original where a guy was using fake philosopher's stones given to him by Lust to create false miracles that are only temporary and reoccur every couple of years

OOC: yep that was the episode where al and ed were fighting at the beggining it was so lol and that dudes head got blown up remember?

IC: he must be nearby these arent even philosophers stone the shards melt as soon as they touch my hand ive never seen anything like this *shiri was holding shards of the crystals in his hand but they had all melted and formed a red puddle that slowly began to dissapear shiri stands next to renkinjutsu so he can see*

Renkinjutsu: We need to hurry

OOC: can we hurry this along? I plan to kill him soon

OOC: yeah sure

*the ground under renkin and shiri begins to shake just like the first time causing shiri to think that more skeletons or undead are coming but instead the floor underneath them gives in causing them to fall for awhile until the hit the basement of the cave where a man in a black robe was waiting for them standing in front of them as they hit the ground from their two story fall shiri took no damage because he tranmuted the hard floor to sand as he fell*

Renkinjutsu: *lands with a loud thud on his left foot* *Renkinjutsu's left ankle snaps with a loud sound*
