Mustang sighed as he looked around Omphalos. He was sure that he had pushed Hawkeye out of harms way and that she couldn't be here. But still he felt the need to look for her anyways. Or failing that to at least to look for someway back home. Though from the information he had managed to acquire there was no way that he was getting home unless he helped to resolve this conflict. "I knew that I should have had someone else handle this. I just hope that no one else gets dragged into this conflict and that this doesn't turn into another Ishval.

As he thought about that an idea occurred to him. As bad as the Ishvalan Civil War was there was one good thing to it. He had something to exponentially. Even if the Philosopher's Stones were instruments of evil. Having one in this instance wouldn't be a bad thing. After all besides the dragon trying to destroy the universe he wasn't sure what else he would have to face.

After a moments thought on the matter he shook his head. No using a Philosopher's Stone was not a good idea. If his experience with Human Transmutation had taught him anything it was that no good ever came out of it. And since the Philosopher's Stone was a by product of Human Transmutation using one or even hoping for one would not do him any good. He continued his search for the next few hours before giving up and looking for somewhere to stay.

He sighed as he found an inn wondering if the money he had on him would work here. "I wonder if the currency of one world is equal to another? Knowing my luck that would be highly unlikely." Resigning himself to having to find somewhere else to stay, probably roughing it somewhere, he made his way into the inn to see if he had enough to rent a room. After all he doubted he'd have any luck finding anyone else from back home that had managed to make it here today.

Galatea was really just wandering around the city today. She was taking a break from training and testing to see if maybe her parents magic didn't work here. Unfortunately either it did, or her powers were restricted just as much here for some reason. Either way it was irritating that she was still so limited. Especially with this kind of fighting and stakes. Made her want to find some way to drag her parents here and say "Look, major problems, and I've been a mostly good girl take the damned things off so I can really fight". Though, honestly, if they got brought here she really hoped they got bitch smacked by one of the real gods. Sure this meant that her position was kinda of downgraded as well... but her parents weren't really gods then so they were too. Though as she wandered during the day, she repeatedly saw a man that looked like he was in some kind of uniform. The first couple times she thought maybe he was just lost but it became apparent he was looking for something.

She was curious after seeing him searching for hours, unless he was just searching for that many different things. So she followed him a bit till it looked like he was calling it quits for the time being. She decided to up her pace and catch him and was in ear shot as he said "I wonder if the currency of one world is equal to another? Knowing my luck that would be highly unlikely." before walking into the inn. She actually sort of face palmed before going in behind him. She walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder to make sure she had his attention as she said "It would probably help to transfer your money over to their currency before trying to find a place to stay." She folded her arms under her chest as she added "Saves you having to walk to that place and all the way back here if you want to stay here still. I'm guessing you only came here a few hours ago?" Looking him over, she looked at the outfit and tilted her head to get a better look at the glimpse she caught of markings on the gloves, "Hmm....I'm guessing some sort of form of law enforcement or military? Or is that just how people where you come from dress?" she asked, seeing as as much as she could guess, that could be normal on his world.

Mustang turned around as someone tapped him on the shoulder. "It would probably help to transfer your money over to their currency before trying to find a place to stay." Mustang felt like hitting himself after the dark skinned woman said that. Why didn't he think to do that in the first place? "Saves you having to walk to that place and all the way back here if you want to stay here still. I'm guessing you only came here a few hours ago?" He noticed that she was examining the clothes he was wearing before she spoke again. "Hmm....I'm guessing some sort of form of law enforcement or military? Or is that just how people where you come from dress?" He was hesitant to answer in case she was an enemy but he figured if she was she would have already attacked him without giving a warning.

"It probably would be a better decision to exchange my money first. But seeing as how I don't really know where much is that would be quite difficult. As for my attire I am in the Military." He made sure that he was standing so that the rank pin on his uniform was showing. "I'm a general in the Amestrian State Military and one of the State Alchemists. My name is Roy Mustang the Flame Alchemist." He took a moment to admire the woman before him. If the word
'Goddess' fit anyone it definitely fit the woman before him.

"So what brings a goddess such as yourself here? I'm guessing from the fact that you had to ask you aren't one of the ones in charge of this conflict. After all if you were I'm fairly certain that you would have already known who I am." Mustang moved to head out of the inn. He stopped to look back at the woman whose name he realized he never got. "I'd be interested in continuing our conversation if you don't mind taking a walk with a complete stranger. After all as you pointed out it would be more beneficial to exchange my money before finding somewhere to stay."

Galatea listened as he admitted that it would have been a smart idea to exchange his cash first, but that he didn't really know where. Then continues on that he was in the military, a general no less... but, flame alchemist? that was something new. She knew of alchemists on her world... but nothing involving flames the way he made it sound. Though, then it hit her he said general. "Wouldn't a general be some fool that sits behind a desk all day ordering whatever minions they assign him to do everything cause odds are their inept?" Sure she knew not all of them were like that even on her world but... easiest way to get someone useless out of the way.

Though, she couldn't resist laughing as he said "So what brings a goddess such as yourself here?" That to her was funny as.. well, hell. "Well, I'm apparently a glorified human compared to the real gods and all, and while generally speaking I was on my home world at one point, well.... anyone who saw me from my home as I am now would view me as... well, if you have anything like hell, what ever thing may reside there that is evil and likes making deals." Though she thought how that made her sound a bit. "oh, but don't worry, I stopped being lie that a few hundred years ago", giving a nervous laugh and small wave to disregard what she said before. True most would view her on par with the demon lord.... but that was years ago...besides he was a real jerk, she knew, she met him.

She shrugged and started after him as he went walking and said "I'd be interested in continuing our conversation if you don't mind taking a walk with a complete stranger. After all as you pointed out it would be more beneficial to exchange my money before finding somewhere to stay." "Oh, I have no problems walking and talking with total strangers, especially when they interest me." she replied. "Surprised you didn't see anything on the information board since it points out where currency exchange places are and all" There was no way he could miss it with all the lights. "But I'm curious though, you introduced yourself as Roy Mustang, the flame alchemist" at which point she paused before saying, "oh, right, my name is Galatea", not waning to give her last name out. She didn't want to see family right now. "Anyway, Flame Alchemist, perhaps its different then alchemy on my world, but how can one be an alchemist of flames?" she asked curious.

Roy walked back towards the information board as he heard her mention the location of where to transfer money being on there. He must have over looked that information when he first looked at the board."I guess I must have overlooked it since I was caught up in other things." He starts to walk in the direction the board pointed him in for where he could transfer his money. He smiled at Galatea's question. "Anyway, Flame Alchemist, perhaps its different then alchemy on my world, but how can one be an alchemist of flames?" He held up his right hand showing the Alchemy array on the back side of his glove.

"I'm not sure how Alchemy works from where you're from but in my world there are all types of Alchemy. I use a type of elemental Alchemy known as Flame Alchemy. I also don't know if the laws of Alchemy exist in your world but the first law of Alchemy is 'humanity can not obtain anything with out first giving something of equal value'. This law is known as equivalent exchange something that every alchemist must learn. The way flame alchemy works is by sacrificing oxygen to ignite the carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. This creates a spark that then generates the reaction of lighting something or someone on fire. The circle on the back of my glove is known as the Flame Alchemy Array. All Alchemic reactions start with an array. To save time most alchemist have the array on them somewhere. My gloves cut even more time down as they made of Ignition cloth which makes creating a spark much easier. I hope that helps explain why I'm known as the flame alchemist."

He couldn't help laughing a little bit at her comment about generals. "That may be true for some people. But I don't see my men as minions. I've known most of them for a long time and they've saved my life on more then one occasion. The fact that I haven't been general for very long and that I prefer being out on the front lines is also a major factor. I won't just sit idly by while those under my command are in danger." He said as he arrived at his destination. He wondered if it would be worth it to go back to the Motel or if he should find somewhere else to stay. He turned to look back at Galatea. "So now why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? Where exactly did you come from?"

Galatea was paying attention as he talked about alchemy on his world. "I'm not sure how Alchemy works from where you're from but in my world there are all types of Alchemy. I use a type of elemental Alchemy known as Flame Alchemy. I also don't know if the laws of Alchemy exist in your world but the first law of Alchemy is 'humanity can not obtain anything with out first giving something of equal value'.

All Alchemic reactions start with an array. To save time most alchemist have the array on them somewhere. My gloves cut even more time down as they made of Ignition cloth which makes creating a spark much easier. I hope that helps explain why I'm known as the flame alchemist."

"Well, alchemists in my home are the ones he make potions and elixirs and all. However, your law of equivalent exchange applies to magic, as well as use of array's" she said. "Wizards and most beginners need ingredients to cast spells and most spells have some form of array, Those more versed in the arts can may only need an array for a spell that normally requires that and ingredients, but more just the energy. Then you have one such as myself that can bypass all of that...." She continued, holding her arm out so he could see as she allowed electricity to visibly crackle down it. "And skip right to forming what ever spell. I bypass no law, as it takes a certain amount of energy to generate the spell, I've merely changed how it's paid for, not the cost. Our magic honestly is much like your alchemy. Though, yours seems more based in science really, in terms of components and usage. Something most people fail to understand, magic isn't really what they think. Things don't just happen, they have cost."

She gave a small laugh though at his comment on being a general. "That type is a dying breed on my world." she said, right before he asked about herself. "Well, you'll have to pardon me... but there's a lot I don't like talking about in regards to myself... less then pleasant memories. But, My home world I know not what its called by others, but.... well, I guess you could say the country of Aerilon has become my home. Or it was. I was at one time long ago an angel, or a lesser goddess there. But..... me and my "parents" had a bit of a falling out so, not really that anymore. Course with these other gods, that means they aren't either so I still get the last laugh" she said with utmost glee and excitement as the crackle of electricity surrounded her whole body. She gave a nervous laugh though as she let it dissipate and said "Sorry... I really like anything that sorta screws them over."

"Well, alchemists in my home are the ones he make potions and elixirs and all. However, your law of equivalent exchange applies to magic, as well as use of array's" Roy listened in interest as she explained the differences in Alchemy. It was interesting how one art could differentiate so much between worlds. It was also interesting how magic in this woman's world worked in a similar fashion to Alchemy. "Wizards and most beginners need ingredients to cast spells and most spells have some form of array, Those more versed in the arts can may only need an array for a spell that normally requires that and ingredients, but more just the energy. Then you have one such as myself that can bypass all of that...." He watched as the electricity sparked along her arm. "And skip right to forming what ever spell. I bypass no law, as it takes a certain amount of energy to generate the spell, I've merely changed how it's paid for, not the cost. Our magic honestly is much like your alchemy. Though, yours seems more based in science really, in terms of components and usage. Something most people fail to understand, magic isn't really what they think. Things don't just happen, they have cost."

"Hm I see. You're right that is a lot like Alchemy in my world. Though usually the only ones who can use alchemy or Transmute, as the process is called, without an array are those who have seen the Gate. But seeing the Gate generally comes with a high price. A price that is representative of each person that pays it." His left hand went up towards his eyes when he said that as he sighed softly. "Those that seek to see the gate often fail to realize what that price is. Though often times the Gate is seen because the person doing it was trying to make something right. It's a good thing that Magic in your world doesn't have such a high price for those that want to cut out a step." He laughed as she mentioned Generals like him being a dying breed in her world. "Unfortunately there are far too few like myself in my own world as well. But even a few is enough in my opinion."

"Well, you'll have to pardon me... but there's a lot I don't like talking about in regards to myself... less then pleasant memories. But, My home world I know not what its called by others, but.... well, I guess you could say the country of Aerilon has become my home. Or it was. I was at one time long ago an angel, or a lesser goddess there. But..... me and my "parents" had a bit of a falling out so, not really that anymore. Course with these other gods, that means they aren't either so I still get the last laugh" He watched as the crackle of electricity moved from her arm to surround her body before dispersing as she laughed nervously. "Sorry... I really like anything that sorta screws them over."

"It had to be an interesting experience coming here and learning that you aren't as powerful as you had thought you were." He said with some sincerity to his words. He wasn't quite sure how he'd react in a similar position.

Galatea listened and tilted her head a little as he spoke
"Hm I see. You're right that is a lot like Alchemy in my world. Though usually the only ones who can use alchemy or Transmute, as the process is called, without an array are those who have seen the Gate. But seeing the Gate generally comes with a high price. A price that is representative of each person that pays it." , noting that his one hand moved toward his eyes. "Those that seek to see the gate often fail to realize what that price is. Though often times the Gate is seen because the person doing it was trying to make something right. It's a good thing that Magic in your world doesn't have such a high price for those that want to cut out a step." She was compelled to give a slight laugh at that. "Somewhere in there there is always a price to obtain it." She replied, "Perhaps its not as directly observable though. Take myself for example. My parents made me and gave me this knowledge, so that I may act subservient to those that they sought to help, and who used me for my power, or other attributes. And when I finally snapped because of the treatment and made it clear I didn't want to be treated like a slave, they restricted my powers and threw me out. My granddaughter was born very gifted with spells and such, but was born without a voice. Learning to do things with absolutely no array for some of what I use requires the most severe dedication and training imaginable, or to use things that have their own cost that probably mirror the ones you peak of. And judging from your actions, endured."

"Unfortunately there are far too few like myself in my own world as well. But even a few is enough in my opinion." She shook her head as she said "perhaps for your home, at one time the continent as a whole knew peace, but the leaders and armies forgot who fights as they sit in their lavish castles." Though, when she heard "It had to be an interesting experience coming here and learning that you aren't as powerful as you had thought you were." she couldn't help the fit of laughter that followed. It took a few moments for her to finally calm herself down so that she could reply. "Oh no no, if anything it was more that my parents magic that restricts my powers still works here." she said when she was finally settled enough. "It's true, I didn't know the extent of the pecking order, but honestly, what separates the gods on my world from the other races is the same that separates a man and a king... power. Ad that's the funny thing about power, strength, all that. There is no top, because there is ALWAYS someone with more power, or the same level at the least. My parents made me, but who made or gave birth to them? and then who made that person or persons? Somewhere there was something before them, that had to have had more power. Things you think about and realize after being around a few millenia"

He caught the slight laugh at his statement about there not being a price in her world before she replied. "Somewhere in there there is always a price to obtain it." He frowned waiting to hear more since it was obvious she had only paused for an instance. "Perhaps its not as directly observable though. Take myself for example. My parents made me and gave me this knowledge, so that I may act subservient to those that they sought to help, and who used me for my power, or other attributes. And when I finally snapped because of the treatment and made it clear I didn't want to be treated like a slave, they restricted my powers and threw me out. My granddaughter was born very gifted with spells and such, but was born without a voice. Learning to do things with absolutely no array for some of what I use requires the most severe dedication and training imaginable, or to use things that have their own cost that probably mirror the ones you speak of. And judging from your actions, endured."

He nodded at that, it made sense there would have to be some price, the fact he endured it himself was also true. "I see it seems that to an extent the powers of your world have a higher price. One that's demanded sooner then the price for obtaining the use of alchemy without an array."

"Perhaps for your home, at one time the continent as a whole knew peace, but the leaders and armies forgot who fights as they sit in their lavish castles." He frowned that sounded an awfully lot like what the higher ups had done during the Ishvalen Civil War.

"It's true, I didn't know the extent of the pecking order, but honestly, what separates the gods on my world from the other races is the same that separates a man and a king... power. And that's the funny thing about power, strength, all that. There is no top, because there is ALWAYS someone with more power, or the same level at the least. My parents made me, but who made or gave birth to them? and then who made that person or persons? Somewhere there was something before them, that had to have had more power. Things you think about and realize after being around a few millennia."

He nods to that a serious expression on his face. "You have a point there. There is always somebody with more power or on equal terms that just uses it better. I guess with your example it's kind of like the gods and creator here. At least you aren't one of those fools that believes their power is absolute and no body can out shine them."

"I see it seems that to an extent the powers of your world have a higher price. One that's demanded sooner then the price for obtaining the use of alchemy without an array." she listened as he spoke, thinking it over for a second. "Yes, but It depends on the person really, like the second half of my explanation, there are those that choose study and by extent often solitude to master it. overall, fate can just be plain cruel" she replied. When you boiled it down, it's possible she could have had the same powers with out going through that, but honestly fate, luck, whatever it was determined that she wouldn't.

Then she heard his next statement. "You have a point there. There is always somebody with more power or on equal terms that just uses it better. I guess with your example it's kind of like the gods and creator here. At least you aren't one of those fools that believes their power is absolute and no body can out shine them." She gave a small laugh as she replied "oh no, I was that fool for a very long time"She folded her arms behind her head to stretch a little as she said "After my parents kicked me out, I and my... well, lack of a better term siblings, went to the ruler of our underworld, who wanted the same thing till it was more then he could swallow. So they decided to appoint me leader of our little rag tag group. And for years, I took every job that put me on the battlefield that put my reputation and feared status above even the underworld rulers. Some even thought me his replacement. I believed there was no one stronger, that could best me. And well, relatively speaking, it was a human of all to be the first to do so after all that time. Not fully human, but human enough to enrage me and think it was luck. But he beat me every single time." She didn't like her past, and she was a damned idiot in it. But while she would never want to go into details about it, she did feel it could help others learn. Though in this case, it was more so that this guy didn't think she was some wise sage or the like. She had plenty of mistakes in her past. Though, I suppose foolishness is better determined by ones ability to learn from mistakes.
