Scar and the Air Alchemist

"Uhh..." I murrmered. I sat up and looked around me.

"Where am I?" I asked aloud.

"In my house." said a strange male voice. I looked to where it had come from and saw a man sitting in a chair.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"You answer me first since you are in my house. Who are you?" the man said.

"Aoric." I answered.

"I'm Air." the man said. He stood up and handed me a glass. I took it and saw it was water. I took it and drained it in a few glups.

"How did I get here?" I asked.

"Well," Air answered, "I was out walking and I saw you lying in the sand unconsious. I picked you up and brought you back here."

I quietly studied Air. He was tall, had tan skin, long black hair, glasses, and blue-green eyes. He was also quietly studing my white hair.

"How did you get the white on top of brown?" Air asked.

"I went through hell as a boy." I answered. The look on my face told him not to inquire further.

"Are you hungry?" Air asked. I nodded my head in response. I did not really like talking about my past.

"Hey, Aoric?" Air said.

"Yes." I replied.

"What's that on your arm?" Air asked as he put some food on his wood table. I looked at my arm and saw the scar from all those years ago.

"A scar. I was attacked and had my arm sliced open." I answered his question. I inwardly smiled to myself that he could not see what was truly marked on my arm. As we sat silently eating the phone rang. Air got up and answered it.

"Hello?" Air said. "Oh hello sir...Fine...Excuse me sir...Yes sir...Have a good afternoon."

"Damn, damn, damn." Air grumbled as he slammed the phone down on the reciever.

"Who was that, if you don't mind me asking." I inquired.

"My boss. I hate being a State Alchemist!" Air yelled. My eyes grew wide.

"You are a State Alchemist?"

"Yeah, Air the Air Alchemist. Stupid sounding isn't it."

"A little." I was careful not to reveal my surprise and hatred. Here was another State Alchemist who had no clue who I was.

"Hey would you like to go with me to HQ? Maybe we could help you get to where ever you want to go." Air said.

"I will. I need to get away from something and that would do just fine." I said. I smiled inwardly.

SK: Well here's Chapter 1! I thank my friend Kitsune for her help in naming Air. Now to start writing Chapter 2! Chao!!!!!!!!!
