Hey everyone this is going to be a pretty long fanfic but I've been working on it for a while and I think it's worth the read. The characters in this fanfic are supposed to act similar to how they are in the anime and I tried to make it so everything has some sense of logic to it. Things wont be exactly canon and some concepts might be a bit different but otherwise I tried to make sure the characters and story line fit along with the actual anime FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Envy: Get on with it already, start the damn thing already I'm getting bored.
Me:..And with that, everyone here is the introduction to "An Envious Life"
Darkness, a never ending limbo that seems to suffocate any living thing. At least that's what the homunculus expected to encounter when he was destroyed, or rather, destroyed himself. Most would say suicide is a coward's way out but how can it really be suicide when you weren't alive in the first place? At least that's how he chose to see it.
But despite what he originally thought about where he would end up, as nothingness in a dark void without any type of consciousness, here he was, completely conscious of his surroundings. He wasn't even correct about it being a dark void, instead he was drifting in a dark room, surrounded by his memories going by as pictures on a reel of negatives. He had chosen not to look at them, why look at the past that he had escaped? The idea of it was completely redundant and so he stayed floating in the room, wondering if anything would happen next. Wishful thinking, he had decided a long time ago (If time even existed here) that this was it, this was his end and he would be here forever. So imagine his shock when he heard a voice begin to speak to him from somewhere beyond the dark room.
"Envy, it is time for you to go. You were created as a homunculus but during the time you were in existence you had developed a soul, a personality of your own with independent thinking from your master. You have created an abundance of memories that is proof in itself that you are more than what you were created as. And so now you are being recreated as a human and homunculus cross. When you awaken you'll be in a vicinity in which you are to inhabit and choose your own path. Everything you need to know about how to survive will be placed throughout the vicinity in which you will live in from now on."
Envy decided to keep his snide comments to himself for once. This was his way out of this hellish place and he wasn't about to screw it up. He didn't know who the owner of this deep emotionless voice was but he wouldn't fight it. After all he had nothing to lose.
He shut his eyes as a bright red light surrounded him, the all too familiar sound of a philosopher stone breaking echoed in his ears before everything went dark and he fell into a deep sleep.
