Your brother turned his body into a transmutation circle to make the Philosopher's Stone inside him. He was taking in the souls of all the Ishbalans dying in the war. And that is why your arm can deconstruct things.
That's correct, because it is part of the transmutation. It is looking for ingredients--souls for the stone.
And that is why it reacted with the stone fragments Marcoh made. It senses the lives inside and sucks them in.
But it hasn't been enough. In order to complete it, I still need more lives.
You think that gives you the right to use Rose as some charismatic puppet while you sacrifice her people for your stone?
Calm down. You have misunderstood his tactics. Scar isn't going to kill anyone from Lior.
Tell me Lyra, what the hell are you doing here anyway?
After Dante was murdered, I didn't know what else to do. I went searching for a place where I could do good with alchemy. Here, I learned about Scar and his plans for justice. You don't have to worry Ed. Right before the attack, the people of Lior will escape through a secret passage below the church. When the military invades, Scar will active the array.
Soldiers have lives just like us. I don't care what you think of the military, they are still...[Rose appears]
You have no idea what the soldiers have done to the people of Lior.
Like what? What did they do to Rose?
A group of them carried her to their base. Whatever they did to her there, it was traumatic enough that she couldn't speak when she returned. My sympathy will not be spent on soldiers, neither should yours.
