Origin Mana

Ed returned to the settlement. No one paid any attention to him as he walked through the streets, and everything seemed to be business as usual. However, there was an invisible pressure in the atmosphere. Everyone seemed on guard or nervous, ready to act at a moment's notice. Ed ignored this and travelled to Mr. Long's mansion.

Two guards blocked the entrance with their manullium spears. "Who are you?" One of them questioned in a loud voice.

"Tell Tai that Ed is here to see him." He replied.

"You dare call Mr. Long by his first name?!" The other guard pointed his spear forward, rage covering his face.

"Annoying." Ed frowned as he grabbed the spear by the blade, purple flames appearing on his palm. The manullium spear blade turned into purple smoke as his fingers dug into it. 'I really do like these purple flames.' He grinned. 'I wonder if I can convert them to other elements somehow?'
