Alright so FMA (Full Metal Alchemist) has become my latest interest in the manga/anime world. I absolutely adore the Elric brother's and I really wanted to make a fan fiction about them. I'm hoping you'll all enjoy it ^_^
Disclaimer: Sadly enough, I don't own FMA
Claimer: I do own Felicia, Noelle, and Jacob
Chapter One: The Princess and The Stone
Stirring a large kettle full of stew, Trisha looked to the small analong clock above the mantle piece. The hands above showed eight thirty in the evening; a little late for her boys to be roaming about outside. Giving the contents in the silver kettle another quick stir, Trisha headed out into the hall. Bending down to slip on her mint green slippers, chestnut colored hair slipping onto her shoulders, the mother of two cracked open the front door her country home. Looking out into the night, she gave a shout into the crisp October air.
"Edward! Alphonse!" Trisha called blue-green eyes scanning the grassy hills for the youngsters.
"We're over here, mom!" The elder of the brother's replied waving his hands up in the air as he sprinted down the small incline.
"Wait for me, brother!" The younger brother cried trying to keep up with his sibling.
"Did you two have a fun time?" Trisha smiled as the tiny blonde came to a halt at her side.
"We had a great time didn't we, Al?" Edward grinned as Al pulled up next to him panting.
"Yeah!" Alphonse nodded excitedly as he pulled a little silver coin out of his pocket. "Watch what brother and I can do!"
Picking up a small twig off the ground, the youngsters began to draw a strange symbol in the dirt beneath their feet. Once completed, Alphonse laid the coin in the center of foreign design before looking to Edward with shimmering amber eyes. Nodding his head slowly, the two concentrated all their energy on the little metal coin. Blue sparks, a brilliant light, and a puff of smoke the sliver took shape into what looked like a little metal rose. Picking the hoary flower up in between his fingers, the braided blonde offered the small token to his mother.
"It's beautiful, boys." Trisha smiled holding the delicate creation in her hand. "But where did you learn how to do this?"
"Our alchemy books." Al grinned pulling a small notepad from his pocket.
"We've been practicing." Ed added as his golden eyes shimmered in the setting sun.
"You really are your father's sons aren't you?" Trisha whispered as Ed made a sour face.
"You can't really say we're sons to someone who is never around." Ed mumbled as Alphonse let out a sigh.
"Brother, you really shouldn't say things like that." Al murmured so that his mother couldn't hear him.
"It's true." Ed hissed glaring at his sibling before looking to his mother's weary face. "Mom?"
"Hu?" Trisha questioned from a dazed state.
"Is something wrong?" Al wondered cocking his head slightly.
"No, I was just lost in thought is all." Trisha replied a small sweat drop forming on her forehead. "Why don't you boys come in and eat now? Supper's almost finished cooking."
*~*~*~*~*
"Ready for bed, boys?" Trisha asked from the doorframe as she peaked her head into the young alchemist's bedroom.
"I'm not tired." Ed whined pouting from underneath the heavy quilt.
"I'm not sleepy either." Al yawned crawling into the twin sized bed.
"Well then, what do you suggest we do?" Trisha questioned stepping inside the shared sleeping quarters.
"You could read us a story." Al suggested hoping that his mother would agree.
"A story? What kind of story?" Trisha wondered sitting on the edge of Alphonse's bed.
"A legend." Ed grinned climbing out of his sheets to take a seat on his mother's lap.
"A legend, hu?" Trisha thought tapping her chin lightly. "Well, there is one I know of. I think your father might have told me it once before."
"…" Edward just scowled but said nothing at all.
"What was it about?" Alphonse asked looking to the brunette with questioning orbs.
Long ago in the country of Chapala, there was a royal family. The rulers of this country were wise and beautiful people who wished to help those in need. When their youngest daughter had been struck with illness, it was said that the king and queen sacrificed their lives by making a what was called a Wishing Stone or the Philosopher's Stone. This stone was a crimson color, made from tears and blood through alchemy. The stone provided unimaginable powers and was used for healing by the people. After the death of the king and queen, the couple's eldest daughter was to take the throne, but that position had been filled by the miracle child who had been saved by the Wishing Stone. Bitter and seeking revenge the eldest daughter plotted to take the stone and kill the competition for the throne. Before her plan had been finalized, the new queen rid Chapala of the miracle power by hiding it inside herself. If legend is right, one person who carries the blood of the royal family will inherit the stone inside themselves…but it's only a legend.
So this is all I have for the first chapter for now. I hope it came out alright. Please review it would be so awesome if you guys did. Thanks for the support.
