A/n: Hello, everyone. For those returning, welcome back. For those just stumbling, it's nice to meet you! You can just call me Dice. ;D About a year ago (I think) I started writing "Lightning Chaos". But as said, about a year has passed. I've grown up and hopefully gotten better at writing then before. Combined with the addition of Brotherhood and some crazy ideas I picked up, I decided it was time to rewrite the whole fanfiction. (For bigger detail, see the ramble in the Author's Note of LC). I plan to mix Brotherhood/the manga and the games mostly, but, we'll see where it takes us!
To start off is a short prologue. It's nothing much, but I did want to get this out soon. :3
Disclaimer: I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not Hiromu Arakawa. Let's leave it at that for now.
Prologue: An Additional Note
"Don't try to excuse yourself by saying you're 'doing it for someone else's sake'." –Xerxes Break, Pandora Hearts
-Cut-
What is lost can never be returned.
What is dead can never live in its own world again.
You can not change time, or the events occurring within its grasp.
To try and say otherwise is but a jest. To try and prove otherwise is folly.
It is just as folly to try and defy the fate that we are all bound to from the beginning of our existence. Attempting such things is like attempting to defy science and nature. Like defying the very fundaments of alchemy.
My entire life has been spent recollecting what those before me have done—what the I before me has done—and the results of those decisions. This document is the result of such things.
It recounts the tale of a country called Amestris, centering around the heroes that saved it from it's greatest war, and the untold tales of certain beings…
As this life draws to an end for me, I pass the knowledge on to my successor. May he add whatever my next self misses and help with our kind's survival.
I can only hope that it lasts the possible many years in between, and that it may someday serve a great purpose.
