Listen to our story…
This may be the last time…
"David was a man who likes to live life to its fullest. He was always prepared for what may happen next, and almost nothing surprised him. He was a state alchemist of legends, always getting the job done. He is remembered to us as a friend, to some of us, more than that. To me, one of the things he will be known as is… the Chaoshalo alchemist…"

It was a day like any other, and David had the urge to go outside in the fresh air. He grabbed a book, put on his jacket and left the house. Once outside, he smelled the ripe fruits and vegetables being grown, and the farmers gave him a friendly wave, and David waved back. He walked towards a spot where he always liked to hang out, in the shadow of a tree near a coursing river. He sits in the shade of the tree's leaves, opens his book, and slowly drifts into the darkness…
David is awakened by two small boys looking at him as if he were a dead body. One of the boys had eyes as yellow as his hair, and the other a brunette with brown eyes. The blonde one stepped towards David with a concerned look on his face.
"Umm, excuse me, sir? Are you ok? We just saw you laying here and thought you needed help."
"Oh, no problems to report here, all I wanted to do is take a little nap, that's all," David replied.
"Well, that's nice to know," the blonde one said. "By the way, my name's Edward Elric, and this is my brother Alphonse Elric."
"My name is David, and thank you for your concern."
"Don't mention it. We have to go now, let's go, Ed. Bye David." and with that, they ran home. David closed his book, and returned home.

Returning home from the market, David came across two men behind a building picking on the boys he met previously, Ed and Al.
"For the last time kid, give us the money!" One of the men said.
"No, get your own! You're four times as old as we are, get a job," Edward replies.
"That's it!" The other man screams, pulling a knife from his pocket and holds it to Al's neck. "Cough up the dough or say good-bye to your little brother!"
"Hey!" David screams as he throws his groceries to the ground. "If you poor bastards want money, then take it from me!" The men walk away from the Elric brothers and towards David.
"David, run!" Al screams. "Save yourself!"
"Don't worry about me, I have this." David picks up a stick and points it towards the muggers.
"A stick? You expect to beat us with a stick?" The muggers scream.
"In the hands of a professional, a stick can have many uses."
"Like what?"
"Like THIS!" The stick is lightly thrown in the air. David claps his hands together and grabs hold of the stick. A bright light is released from the stick. The muggers and the Elric brothers realize that the stick has become a 9mm.
"This guys an alchemist?"
"Not an ordinary alchemist, A State alchemist by the name of Chaoshalo." David pulls the trigger and a loud gunshot is heard. The muggers realize that they are covered in confetti. They had been tricked into thinking their life would end.
Outraged, one of the muggers charged towards David, ready to stab him to death. At the last minute, David punches him in the stomach, and the crook falls to his knees, gasping for breath. David then chops the mugger's back with his hand; cracking it in half and watching his foe go unconscious. The other mugger continued to hold his knife to Al's neck. David pulls out his gun and aims it towards the crook.
"Put down the gun or this kid dies, or are you willing to kill him yourself?" The crook taunts David by pulling the blade closer to Ed's brother. The alchemist pulls the trigger anyway, and nails the boys' assaulter in the forehead with a tranquilizing dart. He falls backwards and Alphonse is freed from his grasp.
"Are you two alright?" David shouts.
"Yeah," Ed replies. "We're both fine. You were so brave. How did you do that?"
"Bravery is a skill that cannot merely be explained, but experienced."
"Oh."
"Just some words of wisdom. Now get home safe, you two."
"Kay. Thanks David!" Edward shouts as he and his brother returns home. David claps his hands together and points them towards his grocery bag. All he purchased returns in the bag. He lifts the bag and heads home.
