Prologue Sea of Darkness

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing above me, nothing below me, nothing to the sides. I reached out and felt nothing. I saw nothing. Nothing except for darkness. I was falling… no, more like sinking. I was sinking in something. It couldn't be water. I could breathe… but still, I had my doubts.

A light flashed as a glowing blue circle appeared underneath me. I tried to look down to see it but my head would not move. I was frozen in place almost. I wondered about it as I slowly sunk to the bottom.

Another flash and I could move my head, looking down to see three triangles in the circle. One on top of the other two. The bottom two next to each other. There was a thin blue light going around the circle as it crossed through the triangles. Alchemy…I thought.

I landed on the ground and I could move again, noticing I was ontop of the symbol. It turned into an intricate design. The light twisted and turned until the new shape was completed in the circle. But what was it? I looked down and bent over.

I followed the line until I reached a conclusion. It was a face. But I smiled. It wasn't just any face. It was the face of my hero.

Ed Elric.

The Fullmetal alchemist. He was so… so… dreamy and awesome in every way. I absolutely adore his manga series. Well, I mean the series about him. And I studied his type of alchemy, trying to do it but it always failed. But why? I always wondered. I suddenly sighed thinking of Ed again. But sighing, I realized I was in water. I took an intake of water in my lungs. I coughed. That took in more. I tried to swim up.

The face of Ed looked and me and said, "Ani, Ani, Liani! It's time to wake up!"
