A/N: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist. By the way, I'm going strictly by the manga. As you can tell these drabbles feature characters only seen in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. If you haven't read the manga, then this entire story is spoilers for you. Turn back now so as to not be spoiled. K thanks. =] By the way, each part goes by point of view [POV]

A Servant's Dogma

I couldn't believe it then.

I would have fallen into a pit of despair.

But she…she has nothing short of true grace and beauty.

As they'd say in this country… 'You're one hell of a woman.'

I have so many lives on my shoulders, but the one that matters the most is her.

I want to make it to the top for her.

Become the Emperor so I don't have to see her suffer.

Why is it that I fight so hard?

Because I love her.

"What do you think you understand about love kid? Love's not gonna get you what you really want."

To see her again…to see her in that stance with so much courage and beauty…

"Don't get distracted boy. If you know what's good for you."

I want her…

"So you're gonna listen to Lust instead of me? Lust is dead and gone boy."

Not like that you fool.

"Who do you think you're calling a fool? I'm the one who's got your body."

I can take it back if its to be with her. The way she looks at me now, sometimes it hurts and sometimes it makes me love her more.

"Is that so? Why not work on that charm then?"

It's not that simple. She'll just think its you and disregard what I say. Because it wouldn't be something I'd normally say.

"If I get interested enough, I may let you get a shot. Money, women, power; I'll be the ruler of this world someday. And after that, if you want her, you can have her. But she'll be just one out of all the women."

That's not right. That's not how I want it.

"Ain't that how it goes in your country when you're the bigshot?"

In a sense yes...the Emperor sleeps with many women. I'm his 12th child.

"That's what I'm talking about..."

I don't want all that. I just want to rule justly. Make a few changes while on the throne.

"We talked about this already."

I don't care. I'm trying to get a point across. I want to rule! I want everything that the throne offers.

"Except the babes?"

Maybe a long time ago I would quietly accept the women. But that was never my main concern. It was to rule justly.

"When you babble on about that stuff, you don't think I listen do you? I'm apart of you. I am you now."

Yet you've been so surprised lately.

"You do have a knack for catching me off guard kid."

I see..

"You're interesting. Your body is interesting. Your soul is interesting. I already said I liked you kid, don't push it."

So what Greed? You like my body better than the one you had before?

"Hell yeah!"

What about the memories? I can see them too now.

"Don't you even..."

You're right. I won't tread on those waters.

"Better not."

How long will we wait for our prey?

"Until the time is right."

What if...she comes?

"Then protect your property at all costs."

She's my comrade.

"She's your servant. As I recall a servant is a belonging."

I don't want to think of her as such. She's much more precious to me than that.

"Here we go again."

When will you ever start addressing by names?

"Not to you, kid. Not to you."
