Vial of Xan

Xan was wandering through the Netherworld Tower, on the way back to his throne room. On the way there, he passed by many men and women working throughout the inverted Tower, in the forges, the armories, the stables, the gunsmiths, the mechanics buildings, and basically everywhere else. Everyone had something to do in preparation for the day when Xan would lead them in glorious conquest. This pleased Xan, as his tactics and strategies were almost in ready to come to fruition. All that remained was to recruit two more Lords, one for Xing and one for Drachma....

As Xan was lost in his thoughts, he entered the throne room and almost sat down on his throne chair, until he noticed a large vial sitting on it. Xan picked it up and examined the vial's contents, and read the ribbon that was attached to the vial.

The ribbon read as follows:

The vial attached to this note contains Holy Water, a substance of equal power to a Philosopher's Stone if consumed. If you decide to drink it, then know that you shall become a Virtuous Homunculi, filled with great power beyond the understanding of the mortals around you, but also know that you will need to have chosen to walk the Virtuous path. The choice to drink the Holy Water is yours, my son.

The ribbon was signed, with the word Mother on the bottom.

The Vial contained the clearest water that Xan had ever seen, it looked as though Fate had placed this water on the earth just for Xan to admire it, as though it had never been outside of this vial since time began, never seeing the elements. Great power, huh? Xan did enjoy power, but he couldn't resign himself to become a Homunculus just yet. He still had business to attend to, but in time, he knew that he would want that power. Power beyond the reckoning of mortals, and all that he had to do was drink the Holy Water?

Xan put the Holy Water in a compartment in his automail right arm that his mechanics had added for just such an occasion.

Smiling, Xan sat on his throne and began to wonder what being a Virtuous Homunculus would be like.....
