Hello everyone. My name is Shadowfox26.
This is: The Shadow Alchemist!
I had many different dreams about this - so I'm writing it down for you all to read.
Please review and tell me what you think. I'll take questions too so don't be scared to ask.
"Normal talk"
Someone is Thinking or someone is thinking to one another
- This is when a flash back of the main character past -
"When someone is using there powers (Specail powers)" (Me: You find out a bit later)
Now let's get on with the story.
Preface -
Darkness; that's all I really saw. I remember my sister falling with me threw the time rip.
We had powers like no other - we had seen other life; no one else spoke off nor heard off.
If I stepped in would have gone different; would have all thoses lives lost... gone... died... would have been different.
From when we were over in the other world - my sister said no.
- Life has no meaning if someone who just stops the clock. Life means nothing if space stopped expading. So to answer your question... the answer is no. -
But she really mean no... then... why did she add her other thoughts?
Was is to keep my mind open?
Even now as we fell - I knew;
Time - Space = Nothing.
What if there was a new problem;
Time2 + Space2 x Other World = ?
What was the answer to that? What was the hidden numbers between the lines that sadly hooked on to us like leaches.
Many times I lost my will even to contute on into this whole world. I ripped threw with my great power.
"I have to let you go!" My sister named Jade called.
"NO! If you don't stay with me you be sucked into a black hole!"
"I have to take that chance! Neither one of us is going to make it if one of use doesn't let go!"
"Then let me go!" My voice roared over the thunder clashing with each other. The time rip was slow collaping. We both knew that even with our power and wise knowlege we couldn't control it anymore.
I slowly felt her hand slipping away. Her pink hair slowly turning black her bright pink eyes slowly turned a dark hazel. We were changing. I knew I was as well - my hair was already black from the tale blue color I had and my deep voilt eyes were a deep blood red. Our clothes were changing as well. My sister had on a white shirt with short sleeves it had riffeles while she had on a short black skirt with black heel shoes. As for me; I had on a short black shirt reviling my bellybutton with a navy blue lining with black shinny jeans along the sides were ripped until it got to my knees with the heel shoes. I wore two spiked belts; on around my arm the other around my belly.
"No." I tryed holding on; squeezing her hand as tight as I could but her dissapearing.
NO! I will not let that happen! I screamed within my thoughts. She started to whip away into the black another time rip. My eyes turned my normal purple/tile blue -
"NO!" I roared with every fiber of my being - I did care if I died. All I wanted was my sister to be safe. "TIME ROAR!" I shouted as a roared echoing threw the whole time rip. A lightning bolt hit me threw the chest as my eyes rolled to the back of my head.
"NO! ROSE! I'M SORRY!" I heard Jade cry out as I started to spin. If I was turning into a comet. I tried to raise my hand to each out to her... but no luck... I couldn't... I just couldn't as I fell threw never to see her again.
I feel and feel threw; breaking glass plates in the proses; Time plates. They were a tale blue just like my old hair color. I landed face first in a bright room of white. A door way stood in fornt. It was closed; locked. I coughted up extra blood the was resting within my mouth.
Well, Well, Well... Do you see me? A human - all white watched me. He had no eyes.
"I'm-" I gasped out throw up more blood. Silverish blue blood that was turning red. "Your... t-the Portal of T-Truth... The one that protects and shows the truth." I huffed as the thing nodded.
I've never seen you before... would you like to see it? His thought playful thought within my mind. Only a few - a few adding my sister and I only have that power.
"NO!" I quickly snapped; gagging up more blood.
The more you fight the more of your time you will waste. I do not know what you ever before your time here. But; now... you are human.
"Who are you...?" I asked.
Some call me the devil other... God.
I got up on my knees and bowed. If he was turely God - he created me - to be who I am.
Rose... my beatufil... fathful Rose... I have an job for you...
"What is it?" I asked keeping my voice; at a somewhat normal level.
Go threw the gates... Go threw the gates... The voice whispter as he disappeared. I slowly stood as the doors opened. I slowly waked threw as black hands slowly took me in.
Within threw - I can't explain what happen but it like dying... painless. If like a flower losing its pelts - my new form washed blew away as my oringal form showed up. The shadow from evil and darkness... had slipped threw my skin making my new form on top of my old one.
A mark of the Ouroboros appear in the middle of my chest but it was different. It had a Rose thones wrapped round the dragon. I felt stronger then with my oringal form alone.
You are now a Homunculi... along with a Alchemist... go luck Rose... The voice was drowned out by me entering another world... I black out before I really saw where I saw.
*Reborn fourteen years later*
"ROSE! ROSE! WAKE UP!" A small boy around seven cried as I woke with a jolt. A bright light shined threw window of the just stopped train. I looked over to see my brother; Sam. He was seven with black with a hint of gray hair. His eyes were a dark hazel with a hint of red. He's my human brother.
I stood; but I was careful so I wouldn't hit my head.
My name is Rose. Rose T. Shadow. I am fourteen years old witth long black hair with deep blood red eyes. I wore the same clothes I was formed in threw the time rip. One thing that no one knows; except my brother Sam. It that I am a Homunculi... also a state alchemist - The Shadow Alchemist. Control shadow and darkness is my special skill.
"Are you coming?" Sam asked his eyes shinning within the light. A laughed left my soft lips.
"Yes." I told him grabbing a large black suit case. It didn't really have a lot of things in there. I came back from my last mission with my brother. Luckly there wasn't no fighting. We walked out as my brother skipped along beside me. I couldn't help but to smile. Colonel Mustang had sent me a letter while I was woking. I remember it so clearly...
- "Rose! Rose!" Sam called running into me as we bumpped into each other. I took two hops back to kept us from falling.
"What is it?" I asked going on one knee to met his eye level.
"It a letter... from C-c-c-orntal Mustang."
"It Colonel Mustang." I told him as he laughed. I took the letter and opened it up.
Dear Shadow Alchemist;
Hello, my name is Colonel Mustang. I have a small... task for you when you are done with your lastest mission. It will only take just a few minutes to complete is you stop in Central. I have two boys I want you to meet. I know you will be here on the fourth so I await your time here.
Sincerely,
Colonel Mustang -
"Well Colonel... where that graud you brought from me?" I asked my self outloud; adding a sigh as someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to face a man with glass. He had silk black hair with part small strand holding out over. He had olive green eyes along with a smile. He wore a Colonel uniform. I bow as Sam ran behind me.
"Well hello. You must be the Shadow Alchemist. My name is Maes Hughes. I came here to pick you up."
"Well thank you."
"Thank you." Sam said shyly as we walked to the car.
"So did Colonel Mustang put you up to this?" I asked as he lefted out a carefree laugh.
"No. I did this on my own free will." He told me as he opened the door for me as Sam then I got in. He got in the driver seat as he gave me a picture of his wife and daughter.
"There beautiful. So after work your going home... right - I surely know you don't pull long nights." I told him as Sam happily looked out the window.
"No. I'm not..." Maes answer as I looked at him; the glasses where dark from the glare - I couldn't see his eyes.
"Oh. I see." I told him handing him back the picture.
"My wifes name is Gracia and my daughter - who's three is Elicia. If you met them one day can you tell them I sorry... and give them this." Maes handed me two rose hair pins. One pink the other blue. "Give the blue one to my wife and the pink one to Elicia... will you...?"
"I will... you have my word." I told him carefully putting them in my pocket. My hair covered my left eye - something was wrong with him... I just didn't know what.
"Also..." He told me pulling up to the station where Colontal Mustang was working at. "Can you give him this." He pulled out one knife. It had beautiful detailed work as he gave it to me. It gave off a warm wave as I led it close. We got out the car as Sam ran off ahead. Maes held out his hand as I took it. I closed my eyes trying to see what past he had - I gasped while snapping my eyes open as he smiled and gave me a wink. I saw into his past:
- "Damn it Roy! Now you dicide to act stupid!" He cried as another girl - with short black hair with dark blue eyes.
"Sir. We should get you in a out of here." Maes snorted as he turned around and said;
"Oh really... Well the Ross I knew had a mole right under her left eyes."
"Oh really... silly me." The fake Ross in a southern accent while running her hand across her face as a mole appeared. "Now why won't you come with me." As the humunculi pulled out a gun. Maes pulled out the knife he gave me and cut the humunculi neck. Blood flew out of his neck as Maes started to walk away.
"Sorry... but I have a wife and kid to go home too."
"Oh really." His wife vioce ranged as Maes turned over again holding out another knife as he saw his wife as he held up a gun. Then shot him as he fell over... his eyes popping out of his head then slowly rolling back as he fell back.
"Roy... I'm sorry..." He whispter as hit the ground with a light thump. -
Can you keep a secret...? He thought to me as I waved my hand over my chest showing my shinning homunculi mark.
Yes... can you keep mine as well...? I asked back as he nodded with a smile. My mark disappeared as he told me with a smile on his lips.
Don't worry... I don't hate you for what you are... I didn't hate in the first place... you been threw a lot. I wish you a lot of luck.
Thank you. I thought to him as he spoke;
"Tell Roy; Colonel Mustang. I'm sorry I couldn't help him reach to the top..." He trailed off looking at the sky then back a me.
"I will." I bowed out of respect as I walked pasted him and up the stairs. I stopped and turned while staying;
"Thank you..." I trailed off to see he was gone... only the car was there. "Thanks, Maes... for everything..." I muttered as I turned back and walked inside where Sam - luckly he didn't go very far - was waiting for me as we both walked up to the Colonel room.
That's the end of chapter one of: The Shadow Alchemist!
Rose: I hoped you like the chapter. Hopefully the next chapter will as good as the next one.
Sam: *Jumping up* Yeah!
Me: I think it will be. But I still have to figure out how many chapter's theres going to be.
Rose: *Placing her hand on my shoulder with a smile* Don't worry Shadow. You'll figure it out.
Me: Yeah your right. Thank you. *Smiles back then turning back to the readers* See ya! *Waves*
