This was an odd, and unexpected situation, Scar knew. He had come back to Lior, confused and whole, having given everything to save a soul, something had taken mercy on him, and sent him away, confused and with a piece of red stone the size of his thumb's pad.
At first he had remembered nothing, but the closer he got to the desert, the more the knew, and the more he remembered… there was the building he had carried Kimblee's limp body to the top of, to drop, luring the state's army to enter… there was the ruins of the wall Edward had made to protect those he could… he even saw the hole he had left chasing the Crimson Alchemist.
Then he saw an arm sticking out of a dune, and he walked over, more curious than anxious… if it was this deeply buried, there was no chance it could be still alive. He froze when he saw a familiar seal on its palm, the second mark of the philosopher's stone.(1)
He knew there should be hate, should be anger and malice, but somehow the strangely preserved body only made him thoughtful. He leaned over and moved the body completely out of the sand, laying him back down so he could see him fully.
Long black hair had long since come undone, flowing down around the gaunt face like water, blood was dried and rubbed away by the ever present sand, his uniform now supple and bendable, the only trace an ugly dark stain. Dead skin was deceptively warm from the suns heat, and when He was moved, his spine was obviously cracked a separated from the post mortem fall.
Scar, much against his better judgment, and now, the one voice in his arm, lifted Kimblee's body and began to walk.
"Brother…?" The voice whispered. Scar shook his head sadly.
"Vengeance" he answered.
(1) Kimblee's seals, are the two symbols of the philosopher's stone, the sun and moon, AKA gold and silver respectively. The moon seal would be the second symbol.
(A/N: Yeah, that was short, but with Life, Bloodstone, and my drabbles everywhere, I have so little time… yet new ideas continue to ambush me at every turn of the way….
If there is a story of mine you like that I didn't mention above, I'm probably not working on it… if you like it, you better say so!
Also, if you have any intrest in THIS being continued, you better say so, because Although i have some more, it is not another finished chapter, and I'm not going to finish it unless there is interest... i'm working for a GED and have to conserve my writing time.)
