Anyways I hope ya'll enjoy this first ch! XD

Ch.1

There was something about fire that was so beautiful. It was violent, but yet gentle. I could destroy or create.

I admit that I was a fan of its destructive properties, but today I was using it to create. I pulled on my giant black leather glove and picked up the glowing, red metal. I quickly pulled it out of the fire and over to the anvil. I didn't' waste a second before picking up the hammer. The room was filled with the sound of metal hitting metal.

After a few minutes I placed the metal back into the forge. I watched the metal turn back to a cherry, red. I then pulled it out once again and quickly put it into a barrel of water. I allowed myself to smile momentarily as I pulled off my glove. I wiped my sweat covered hands on my apron before grabbing the metal again.

No matter how often I created something I was still always amazed how a piece of metal could turn into something completely beautiful. And that was what the sword was, beautiful. A perfect present for my brother's birthday. I shook my head, still smiling, and set the sword down so that I could prepare the next step.

"Vati!" My young son came running into the room laughing. His blond hair was messy as usual and his green eyes were bright with excitement. His clothes were slightly too big on him. I wished that I could get him clothes that would fit him, but I guess it was better than nothing. He wore no shoes because I could not afford to keep buying them.

I held out my arms as he flung himself at me. I caught him, lifting him up and spinning him around. When I stopped I continued to hold him as I turned back to the door, knowing that she was going to walk in.

As she entered she stared at me with emerald green eyes. Her hair tumbled down her back like a black waterfall; the only thing keeping it out of her face was a leather band. Her clothes left nothing to guess about her body.

She smirked as she caught me staring. "Hello Ludwig." She walked farther in. My son held onto my neck tighter. "Bliss…. How are you?" She shook her head and sat on the edge of the small table that was pushed up against the wall. "I need you to watch him." I didn't have a problem with that, but something was off. "Vell that's fine, but may I ask vhy?" She sighed. "I'm getting married and I don't want my new husband to know about him." I stared at her in disbelief. I wasn't sure what surprised me more, that she was getting married or that she didn't want her son anymore.

"So vhen you say vatch him you mean take him in." It wasn't a questing, but she still nodded. "He's you son. I did my part. I carried him, gave birth, nursed him, and raised him for four years. I think you can do the rest." She stood up. "Now I must go. I can't keep my betrothed waiting." She started to leave. "Vait!" I shouted. She looked back at me, rasing her eyebrow. "V-vho are you marrying?" She smiled. "A rich merchant from a neighboring kingdom." She laughed a cold laugh. "And to think that you thought I would marry a poor blacksmith that can't even afford to take care of his child." She shook her head still laughing as she left. I stared after her feeling slightly hurt.

"Vati?" My son asked after a few minutes of us standing in silence. "Ja?" "I get to 'ive wit 'ou now, wright?" I nodded. "Ja." I sat him down on the floor. "But wat 'bout mutti?" I sighed. "Allen," I looked down at him. "It vill be for the best if you forget about your mutti." He stared at me confused. "B-but-" "Forget her." I quickly interrupted him.

I turned my back on him to look at the sword. It still needed a lot of work. I picked it up turning it over to look for any flaws.

"I 'ant my mutti!" Allen screamed, causing me to jump and drop the sword. I looked back at him ready to yell, but stopped as soon as I saw his tears. I sighed. "How about ve go hunting?" I asked as I walked over by the door and grabbed my bow. He sniffled, but walked over to me. "We're 'oing to the forest?" I nodded and slung my bow across my back along with my arrows. "I think ve may be able to get a deer." He smiled slightly and followed me out the door.

"Bruder!" My brother shouted happily as we walked past the market. I looked over at him and waved. He ran over and tackled hugged me. "Get off of me Gilbert!" I yelled as I pushed him away. "Kesesese!" He laughed. Once off of me he ran his hand through his pure white hair looking slightly guilty. "I saw… you know…." He trailed off. His crimson eyes flashed to my face looking for a clue to what happened.

"Ja…. She's getting married." He nodded his head. "I heard zhat too. Apparently Francis knows him. Vasile. Zhat's his name. A creepy guy. Even Liz hates him." He shook his head. "She's always trying to beat him in zhe head with her frying pan." He looked down at Allen. "So you're going to live with your vati, huh?" He asked him smiling. Allen nodded.

I looked past Gilbert to see his fellow merchants frowning at him. "Gilbert, aren't you supposed to be in charge of the market?" I asked him. He looked back at me. "Oh right! I almost forgot!" He turned around and started to run back to the small market. "Talk to ya later!" He yelled over his shoulder.

Allen laughed at his uncle and continued to follow me to the forest. I waved at my friend Feliciano as we passed the monastery and ducked as his brother Lovino threw tomatoes at my head when I passed the cathedral. Finally after a few minutes we made it to the castle wall that separated the land in the castle from the wilderness outside.

I continued to walk along the path, nodding at the few men that walked past us. It was getting late and I realized that I would have to make this fast. We finally made it to the clearing where the path ended. "Okay…" I said as we stopped. "Stay close to me." I told Allen before heading into the trees. I could hear him following close behind.

I soon found the river where most animals tended to be. I grabbed my son's arm and pulled him behind a tree. "Huh?" He asked surprised. "Sh." I glared at him then looked around the tree. I say a young buck walking along the bank.

I slowly slipped my bow over my head. I then reached back for an arrow. Suddenly I felt something cold against my neck. I gulped realizing that it was a dagger. "Vati!
