Chapter 1 The Legend
(this Roy's head in the book he is reading for this section until the quottations end at when it starts at Lieutenant Hawkeye)
"There are three types of known alchemy in the world. Regular transmutation
Which was on the very right side of the spectrum and there was taboo
Which is basically human transmutation or known more commonly
As forbidden Alchemy, which was on the very left side of the spectrum.
Then when they collided in the middle of the spectrum the two created
The long sought after Twilight Alchemy that was legendary.
Twilight Alchemy had both aspects of both sides of the spectrum,
You could easily do human transmutation with a simple sacrifice in
That was unequal to the transmutation that defied the laws of alchemy
Completely. But with every new creation of life there was a cost,
It was natures basic law when something lives something dies in return it was
Equivalency no matter what you really do.
The power of the twilight has existed since the dawn of time traveling inside a
A person. If exposed to enough of the basic red water the power will react exposing a
Symbol on their left shoulder burned in their skin.
The symbol was the Double Helix transmutation circle used in
Forbidden alchemy to do human transmutation. It's is very small symbol
Hardly noticeable to the eyes but you could see it pretty well thinking it was
A scar. If it were to be released from the present host the fathom of energy
Will be to great to control and kill anything. Before exiting the body
It kills the host it harbored destroying their life energy.
The only way to save the host is to contribute life energy into the body from someone very close and very well known by the person.
Every century the power of The Twilight jumps from one person to another after the body dies because no one lives forever.
The pain of the burn intensifies if it were to sense the red water and some other
Unexplainable things.
The Power of The Twilight doesn't reside in just any body,
Through out the centuries it usually resides with a very dedicated and working person
That has never used alchemy in their entire lifetime but has seen it and experienced what it does."

First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye walked down the hallways of Central to Colonel Roy Mustang's office. Her golden hair was clipped up in a neat bun at the back of her head. Her military uniform was neatly ironed and pressed. Her gun belt was safely fastened around her waist at the back. She finally reached Roy's office and saw he actually did all of his paper work for once it was a miracle from the heavens. He was very absorbed in the book he was reading called 'The Twilight of Alchemy'. He looked up from the leathered cover book and smiled at Riza.
Riza strode over to his desk flipping through the sheets of neatly staked paper work just to make sure he didn't slack off on anything. She sat at the oak wood desk over to the left watching him contently still reading his book. Riza loved him but never dared make a move towards him on it. He was to busy going out with other women to probably notice her and all of the women that he has dated only loved him because he was incredibly handsome and suave. Riza saw much more in him then just a handsome face she saw a man that could lead this country into peace for everyone. She loved his style on the battlefield even though the taking of lives was something he or she would ever get used to.
He was a good decision maker when he wanted to be and made sure he protected his subordinates including her. He had an illustrious aura to him that made her feel save and so secure when she stood by him. He had warmth that she would never let anyone take away from her ever. She flinched in pain making her grip her shoulder,
"Uh! Not again for the fourth time today."
Roy looked up from his book set it down on the page he was on face down on his desk and walked over towards Riza's desk very concerned. He put a hand on her shoulder gently and looked down at her face,
"Lieutenant are you alright?"
Riza blushed at how unbelievably close he was to her face. Roy closed the minuscule space between them by helping her out the chair she was sitting in and pulling her forward to him. His handsome ebony eyes glowed in worry.
