Preface
"Al! Alphonse!" I yelled in search of my younger brother. I rounded the corner and ran headfirst into something cold, hard, and lifeless. It was Al.
"Yes big brother? You were looking for me?" Al asked, his voice echoing from inside his empty suit of armor.
"I found it. I found a way to change you back." My eyes shone with something many would have thought long dead. It was hope.
"I was looking at some books on human transmutation, when I realized something. Al, what is the alchemist's definition of a human body?" It was a rhetorical question, but Al answered anyways.
"A body is something that holds the mind and soul portion of the human physique, the physical portion of the body-mind-soul portion of the human spirit." (A/N-sorry if that's not what it is in the manga; I just needed that particular definition)
"Right. I can transmute my automail into a sword as easily as I can flesh into…something squishy." I hinted to my little brother.
"Yeah, but what's that got to do with me getting my human body back?" Al asked, clearly not seeing the connection.
"Well, about that...um, I'm not sure, but I don't think this body will be entirely human"
"So you want to turn me into a…chimera?" Al asked quietly.
"It's better than being a walking time bomb." I said, lowering my voice to match.
Al said one word.
"How?"
Sorry this is so short. It's just a preface. But don't worry, I'm typing up chapter 2 right now. It'll be up as soon as I figure out how to post chapters. Tell me if you actually want me to continue though. I can take flames, but please don't be unnecessarily harsh.
