Yah! minna! Amber Sky desu!~
Yoroshiku ne!
Elie-nee is currently busy with work, and doesn't know when she'll be free to continue her stories... apparently her reality/real life have been demanding her full attention, this include working for 10 hours straight and the fact that she's lamenting her lack of love life... it seems that being single her whole life is taking a toll on her sanity... not that she's going insane or anything, she's just being more troublesome than usual...
The funny thing is that Oba-han reached the limit of her patience a few days ago, and kick Elie-nee out of the house and yelled "Don't come back until you found a boyfriend!". I don't really blame Oba-han for doing that since Elie-nee was being so annoying (Imagine a 21 year old lady whining like a 3 year old, totally annoying).
So for now I'll be taking over her account, of course with her permission. And believe it or not she left her flash drive with me, It's full of her work but it needed some revising... though I did find some interesting one-shot stories in it... coughporncough... I'll post some of it sometimes in the future, for now I would like to work on my own stories...
So without further ado... Roll the disclaimer and the warning!

Chapter 1: Truth is an Asshole
OC's POV
It was stupid. Even from outside the gate I could hear endless shouting of my parents, always fighting against each for the most ridiculous reason. Just another never ending argument.
I sighed, fishing out my my Ipod. I put my headphones and turned the volume up to its max, drowning the shouting with music.
It didn't work as the shout were louder as I entered this pathetic excuse of a home. And as usual, I was right. Standing at the door of the living room, I watched these people whom I call my parents fight.
THUD!
Echoed the sound of this woman I call my mom as she was shoved to the cabinet. I looked down, my bangs hiding the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Fuck you! You're the one who-!"
I run to my room, everything it. I didn't want to hear them anymore, I didn't want to hear them swear, I didn't want to hear them fight.
It wasn't like this before.
So when did it start?
When did this nightmare began?
When did everything fall apart?
Thud! Bang! Pang! Thud!
The sound of something hitting the walls hard, of things shattering to pieces, of...
Fighting echoed to my room as I dropped my bag to the side. I grabbed my pillow from my bed and walked to my window, falling to my knees before it as I let out a voiceless cry.
Frustration, anger, loneliness, hatred and most of all bitterness, flooded me as I leaned against the wall. I pulled my legs to my chest, my pillow laid above my knees as I buried my head in it.
Songs after songs played as the fight downstairs worsen in the background.
I wanted it to stop.
I wanted it to end.
I wanted, even just for a second, everything to disappear.
That if death was the only way to escape this hell.
I would rather die.
And with one final 'Thud', everything went silent as if everything stopped, leaving me in a sense of foreboding. I was sure if I had taken off my headphone, the eerily deafening silence will overwhelm me.
'Rewrite by Asian Kung-fu Generation' Begun to play in my Ipod. I took an ear out, trying to make due of what was going outside my room.
And then the footsteps came, slowly getting closer to my room as all of my instinct yelled at me to run or at least lock my door. But I didn't, I stayed frozen in place, hugging my knees tighter. And without warning, the door to my bedroom opened as I raised my head. A choking lump formed in my throat as I look at the figure before me.
There stands the man I call my father, in his hand was a bloodied knife and his white shirt spattered with blood. His eye filled with a maddening betrayal as tears run down his cheeks, mixing with blood.

"You're not my child..."

Then came the sharp knife...

stabbing my chest over and over again.

It wasn't pain that I felt that moment.

It was the bitter realization, the truth of this messed up family...
kishikaisei
"Truth is such an asshole." I said in my last breath as I watched the final stab froze in mid air.
riraitoshite...
The next time I opened eyes, I was met with a never-ending white.
An empty white void.
"If this is the after life, then it's one hell of a boring place." I spoke aloud as I heard a synchronized snort behind me. I turned looking at the source, there stands a figure... no, an outline of a white man with no face, just a mouth.
Weird... this white figure seems familiar.
"Who are you?" I asked, at the back of my mind I know I've seen this guy before.
"You already know the answer yet you still ask." It spoke in multiple voices.
"Truth..." I muttered. It wasn't possible, The Truth was just a character from an anime I watched. How? This is impossible. "How did I get here? I'm pretty sure human transmutation is impossible where I live, hell even alchemy is impossible."
"Yes, indeed. Alchemy is impossible in your world, thus I brought you here." It answered and somehow I was dreading what it was going to say next. "Ohh... It seems you have an idea of your own."
Either 1: Nobody have visited you for a while and you're lonely and wanted someone to talked to. Completely understandable seeing that this place completely empty. I'd be bored out of my mind if I got to stay here for long period of time.
2: Again, nobody have visited you for a while, thus those black hand thingies with eyes are hungry and I'm their next meal. Totally scary direction for my thoughts to wonder...
or 3: You're bored and you plan to make an entertainment out of me. Should I be worried or relieved?
"Only that God seem to have a twisted sense of humor." It's either that or I'm going nuts. I added in my mind.
"You have a funny way of thinking." It snickered at my statement. "Do you not trust your own thoughts?" It smile in an eerily smug way. Did it just implied that he could read my mind?! "Worry not. You won't be staying here for a long time" From the corner of my vision, I could make out a gate slowly materializing behind me. Ohh man I'm totally dreading whats next... "We shall meet again" And the gate soon opens, revealing one huge creepy eye. And all I can think of was
"Oh crap."
Soon little black hands went to grab me, dragging me to the gate as I began to feel the forming of a headache.
"AHHH-!" Screaming my lungs out as a mass amount of knowledge was shove in my head. Before my eyes, the memories of my past flashed, reminding me of the two side of my life.
The one I became, and the one I locked away long time ago.
Within Truth's Realm
"You could just have tell her, you know. She is my cousin after all." A girl with a short dark-blue hair stated, appearing as soon as the gate, where a young girl by the age of fifteen was dragged in, closed.
"And you could have told her yourself, she is your cousin after all." It retorted.
"Ahhh..." The girl started, mirth playing before her eyes. "But where would be the fun in that? 'sides it's not like we're allowed to interfere directly."
"With your attitude, sometimes I tend to forget that you aren't a full transcendent being."
"I'm a half-human, Shinri-kun. Most of the law's of Gods and transcendent beings doesn't exactly apply to my kind."
"Which is why the higher ones decided to bound you to these duties. You are too dangerous to be left alone."
The girl giggled as she walked towards the closed gate. Placing a palm on the gate as she looked back to Truth "Well it's not exactly my fault. Destiny just write a little too much angst... The world already has too much darkness without us adding to it. I think it deserves a little comedy to it, don't you?"
"You know... Destiny will chew you out for this again. You seem to make a habit of throwing her plans to whack."
"Careful Shinri-kun, you make it like I'm rubbing on to you."
"Don't you have something else to do?" That caused the girl to laugh aloud.
"Alright, alright, I already told done what I came for anyway."
"What exactly did you do?"
"I merely flipped the coin, Shinri-Kun"
OC's POV
The moment I woke up I realized one thing...
...
...
...
I WAS FALLING!
"HOLY CRAP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, my hands flailing at my side, desperately trying to imitate the motion of a flapping wings, in hope that it somehow save me.
"Oh Shit! oh Shit!" Frantically, I looked around, trying to find something that might help me in this situation but instead, what I found confused and horrified me more.
Amestris...
Below me was a place that should not even exist...
or so I felt that it shouldn't exist. Some how for some reason, I can't seem to remember why it shouldn't be possible to exist...
And this confused me even more. How can I know about a place that shouldn't be existing?
Is this even the time to think about such things? You're falling remember.
Ohhh Right...
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" As I was falling closer to the ground I noticed the wall of ice that was beginning to form a circular pattern over the city...
Transmutation circle...
The information about what that was just came to me; Of what it was and what its for and what it was to do...
Impossible... How do I know these things?
As I fall closer I found a man confronted by what seemed to be a suit of armor that somehow I knew was empty and a blonde kid wearing a red coat.
Isaac Mcdougall...
The Ice Alchemist...
Isaac of the Ice...
Former state alchemist...
State Alchemist? How am I knowing all this?
"...You perform the greatest taboo in alchemy, Human Transmutation!" Isaac yelled and at that moment I remembered a memory that wasn't mine. A memory of two boys desperately trying to revive their dead mother. Of how these two child lost almost everything and gained nothing.
"Give him back... he's my brother!... Give him back! he's my one and only Brother!"A scream from the memory echoed in my head.
I didn't really understand anymore, not that knowledge that just show up in my head, not the memories that was never mime to begin with, nor the tears that was pooling at the corner of my eyes.
"ITTAAIII!" I yelled as I fell head first to Isaac, forehead meeting forehead as pain shot through my vein as glimpse of a war in a desert appeared in my head. Isaac stumble backwards from the impact as the armor came to catch me...
Alphonse Elric...
The name appeared in my head just like all the other things I came to know. Soon the boy in the red coat charged at Isaac, punching him in the stomach before knocking him down. Alphonse sat me down as he notice the red alchemic reaction, charging and cutting the rising ice with his armored hand before it hit the boy in red. Alphonse then kicked Isaac, causing the man to tumbled down the frozen wall of water.
I sat, watching Alphonse and the boy follow Isaac as I try to make sense of the situation.
"Give it up! You have no water to use." The boy confronted Isaac.
"You're forgetting what the human body is made 70% of!" Before I realized it, I was in front of the boy. Red blood Ice stabbing my chest yet despite the glaringly obvious pain I was more caught up with the memories of my last moment.
I finally remembered.
The worsening fight of my parents.
The sickly silence accompanied by a dreadful footstep as a song screamed in my ears to 'Rewrite the pointless fantasy".
The bloodied knife in the hand of the man I call my father.
The repeated stabbing in my chest.
The endless expanse of white...
And Truth...
Yeah... I stand by statement before...
"Truth is such an asshole."
A/N: So how is it for an opening chapter? A bit short I guess... I hope I didn't mess up that badly... I'm still new to this...
So anyway, you guys might what to take note of the girl with the short dark blue hair she'll be appearing a lot in most of the stories I would make.
Any guess to who is the girl with a short dark blue hair? She actually appeared in as the land lady in Elie-nee's two piece(this in itself is already a big clue), She also was a lead in one of Elie-nee's un-published story. (Perks of having her flash drive. got to read things she never thought of publishing.) so I'm just reusing her.
I really her character when I read Elie-nee's 'Transcendent blood' (The un-published story I took the character from... who know I may post it someday... maybe in wattpad or in fiction press... time will tell)
Funny thing is Elie-nee was so embarrassed when she found out I read that. Turns out, she had a seriously awful case of chuunibyou when she was in high school. She actually believe she was a half-god and had awesome powers.
