Alexander didn't do much. He just repaired the housing district of the old ruins. Made a large area of land fertile and erected boundary walls around their nice little settlement. He also made some wells for water. Then he donated some camels and other cattle to them.
He didn't know if they had enough skills to survive so he also left 4 T-800 droids. They would help them and teach them various survival and crafting skills. From their looks, their religious practices were keeping them from going out to hunt and feed their people.
All the people awed at his skills and the magically appearing things. They were now sold that this was the real God and what he was using was not alchemy but his godly powers. They were right about this.
"Okay, give me your little boys and girls. I mean, bring the sick kids to me. Then the adults can come." Alexander instructed them.
He set up a small medical room and healed all the sick ones, one by one. He also created a population register with all their details like names, age, gender, height, and weight. This way, it would be easier to keep a track of the population in the future. He taught them the concept of Body Mass Index and told them that they were malnourished.
After he was done, he gathered everyone in the newly built public square. "Okay everyone, I have done my part, now it all lies on you. My only advice is to not hold prejudice against anyone. No matter if it is an Ishvalan, Amestrian, Cretanian, or Drachmanian. No matter what god they pray to or even if they are alchemists. Because, no matter who, in the end, all are children of God. Your belief tells you not to practice alchemy, someone else's could tell them to do it. Not to mention, there is Xing, where a medicinal form of alchemy is practiced.
"All things are the creation of gods, even alchemy, so, to hate something is to hate the creation of god. Rest, you should find yourself. Take care, my children."
After announcing that, Alexander made himself shine bright and apparated from there to miles away.
*Sigh*
"I never like playing god like this. Being a hero was much better. At least they don't kneel and chant. Since that Cu-nt business, I'm always worried about what might come out of their mouths next." Alexander sighed with frustration.
*Ring Ring*
Alexander picked up his cell phone, "Yes, Oli's husband is speaking."
"Hats and Ajax are nowhere to be seen here. I think they are out there. Can you go and see if they are okay?" Olivia asked worriedly.
"Oh, sure, Oli. I will go and find him. You don't worry." He hung up and looked at Dobby.
"Well, let's hope Hats doesn't corrupt Ajax too much." He said.
"There is a high possibility that your hopes will be destroyed this time," Dobby replied.
"More of a reason to find them early."
...
Ajax was now 5 and a half years old and had grown to be 4 and a half feet tall. It was a lot for his age but he had come to a realization that he had hit a dead end now and he won't be getting taller anytime soon. But he wanted to become big like his dad and grandpa. So, he went out to explore and also practice.
He couldn't tell anyone about it. But he also wanted some company. Yalo didn't speak, Nel was always busy playing with the tailed beasts. The tailed beasts were too simple too. So, he picked the most useless person in Phixheim, Hats.
"Hi, I'm Alphonse Elric and this is my brother, Edward Elric, we are state alchemists and are on an important mission," Alphonse explained.
"Oh, so you two are government employees. But what would be so important that the government would let kids handle it?" Ajax asked.
Edward got angry again at being called a kid. "We are researching the philosopher's stone. I bet you haven't even heard about it. Hah..."
Ajax's face lit up, "Oh, I know about philosopher's stone. I've eaten them. They taste sweet."
"We are not talking about candy." Edward retorted.
"I know, It's a red stone that can make gold and also an elixir of life. My grandpa has lots of Philosopher's stone." Ajax replied. He was not really lying. They regularly ate Philosopher's stone as candies in Phixheim. There were so many of them that some unflavored ones were even used as light bulbs.
All this happened because Alfred became too serious about creating the godly pill. They didn't have enough Jesus' blood and ended up with too many leftover philosopher's stones. Alexander simply poured flavor on them and gave everyone to eat them like candies. Of course, he had tested them first and found them safe.
"Oh really, then tag along and enlighten us with your knowledge." Edward sarcastically said.
"Sure, lead the way." Ajax agreed.
Edward's shoulder fell in defeat and he started walking.
"Brother, I don't think it's a bad idea. I think Nina would love to see more kids around her age." Alphonse tried to calm his brother.
"I know, but the only problem is, he looks too big for his age," Edward replied with a hint of jealousy.
"I guess it's the genes," Alphonse muttered as they led the way. He would constantly try to calm Edward because Ajax would keep on calling them kids.
