The time has changed from when he was young. John didn’t have much to hang on to in order to keep his sanity in check. Standing in the building he once knew as home looking out over the land….The reality of being back within these walls of time brought him to a realization. Looking down at his whitened hands he spoke out to himself. “What have I done with this life of mine?” He said looking though his fingers at the treaded on floor. The boards old and worn coming up in places seemed like it wouldn’t hold body weight for very long. He simply muttered to himself and bent down picking up a old teddy bear from the floor. A tear escaped from his eye and landed on the face of the bear. Thumbing some of the dust off he looked in to the face of the bear as he would someone he cared about. “My son…” He said in a slow tone with a hint of pain in his voice. Letting go of the bear it hit the floor with a burst of dust. Bending down within the boards of the old run down house he traced a few circles in dust. Then placed his hand on the circles a bright light burst almost instantly out of the circles. Cracking and bending of the boards shifting the house started to renew itself. Tree’s from the surrounding woods seemed to disappear within the alchemy he used. Equivalent exchange was needed in the use of alchemy as done so the house seemed to be replenished as if it was new. Having moved though the newly made house he stepped in to the door of the entrance. “I owe you this much. I am sorry…” He said as he set down on the front step to his old home savoring the moment within his mind when this house ran with life.

The air was musky as he looked up, smell flooding his nostrils. Puckering his nose up like smelling something that had been rotting for days. Only moments after smelling it a blast occurred right next to him blowing him off the front steps and in to the air like a cannon ball. Flipping back around in the air to regain his balance and see who the attacker or if there was even a attacker. As the smoke cleared his eyes locked on the location where he was sitting. The front of the house was completely demolished. A demon stood there staring in his direction. Looking like a turned inside out human the beast of a demon grunted as it seen he was still alive. “John…” Was all it muttered in a slow creepy tone. Lifting its right arm and outstretched it. As a small orb of red appeared it blow a straight beam of light at the chest of John. The beam hit him in mid air stabbing him like a sword the light was still connected to the demons hand. Throwing John though the woods surrounding the house he was standing at. The demon rushed forward to the woods to hunt down the demon killer. Meanwhile John landed with a thud blood pouring though this chest all over the ground. “I got to hide.. But with blood coming out of me I am not going to hide from his nose that well.” He said as he placed his hand on the ground making a alchemy seal with his hand. With the blood from his chest the alchemy activated almost immediately changing the minerals in the earth and trees in to a large sword as he pulled his hand up gripping a hilt to a bastard sword he ripped it from the ground after it formed. Taking off on foot away from the direction the demon would be coming he did not hesitate he was in no state to fight right now he had to clot the blood and keep it from pouring out of his chest.
