Introduction:

My name is Edward Elric and I went across Europe with my little Brother Alphonse and then came to America.

Before that we lived in Germany, but it became more and more miserable there. In America we got to know about another Gate.

Of course we would go there. We had to take the chance in going back to our homeland. Back to Amestris.

But after said Gate we didn't come out in Amestris, but on a lonely Island.

And now, Al and me are sitting on the beach and don't know where we are nor how to get away from here. We're stuck.

And yet we haven't seen any People around here yet.

Alphonse doesn't seem too worried about our Situation, as usual. He plays with some sand, lets it run through his hands and daydreams along…

"…Al? …Al!…Alphonse!", I poke him.

"Yes, Nii-San?", he is surprised and looks at me as if I had crushed his most beautiful dream.

"Say", I ask him "are you not worried about our Situation?"

He shakes his head and responds "I don't care where I am as long as you are with me, Nii-San."

He says that in his usual way.

It is weird for me that he still appears so childish, so innocent, after all we did together.

It is also unclear if he remembers it all.

In our Childhood we were inseparable. He being just a year younger than I am (now he is like 5 years younger)

After our Mother died during a long disease we tried to revive her through Alchemy.

But at what cost…back then Al lost his whole Body and I lost my left Leg.

I could only save him by sacrificing my right Arm and putting his soul into a suit of Armor.

Meanwhile many years have come...Seven, to be exact.

We could help Al back to his original body. My limbs are still replaced by artificial limbs made of steel.

After a while we notice, that we are not alone as we thought.

A Boy with wild, brown hair is coming to us. Is that made by Alchemy? I have never seen such hair.

His name is Sora and he is kind to us....maybe a bit TOO kind for my sense.

"How did you come here?"

I hesitate, don't know if I should tell him the whole story or begin a lie.

Al helps out.

"We don't really know. But we are glad that you came. Can you tell us how we can escape this Island?", Al asks, overly happy.

"Ahm…well, I don't know how you can escape the Island. But please come to my House first.", Sora offers.

"Thank you"

"Uhm…Is there any work or something? I wouldn't wanna be a freeloader.", I ask. I don't want to fall into dependence.

"…yes, there is work", wonders Sora, slightly confused.

"Work? …Nii-San, just let's settle down here. The people here are definetly different…I mean, when you came to Germany, you had to adjust yourself there too.", Al points out.

"I know what you mean. But I don't like to be on debt here. And in Amestris we had to pay for our food too.

…

Well, Sora? Is there something we can help out with?", I think of it as a good habit, being helpful and all. Also I was told that you can't gain anything without sacrificing something.

It became a rule of life.

But Sora doesn't understand this. He has no problems in sharing his Home or Food.

"You know what? You don't need to pay anything. You can stay as long as you wish. Mmh…

You can help or work here but you don't have to pay for food or a place to sleep."

"We…can live with you? Are you serious?

Hn…Okay, then I will clean the dishes!

That's almost like a community~

Isn't that great, Nii-San?!" Al is really happy about that. It somehow hurts to see him so into…Sora… ? Am I Jealous?

Really, I feel a sharp pang of pain in my chest. "…yes, great."

I growl unwillingly and walk away from them. Al does not need me anymore.

Sora can take care of him.

And then, I also wanted to see the Island all on my own.

Later I get to know that Al in fact was to Soras Home but looked after me later then.

But there is something entering me which is causing chaos in my mind.

A good friend of me told me once to listen to my inner Voice. That's what I do now.

Well okay, I listen to my heart more often, but this is different now.

I can't help it. I have to follow this Calling.

Sky and Sea is darkening, closing into me.

Everything turns black.

-------------------------------------------------------

my name is Riku and I live on Destiny Island.

I live here for a while now and have many friends on this island.

Once the Darkness swallowed me but Sora and King Mickey saved me. Many years had passed since then.

This Evening the sea is very wild. Just like back then.

I run to Soras House and want to ask him if he noticed too.

"Hey Riku!", Sora calls out.

I smile to him and notice the new Face next to him.

I haven't seen him before. That boy looks desperate.

He is anorexic for his age too. He looks Twelveish.

"Hey, have you seen a boy with blonde Hair near here? If yes, where is he?", he asks me directly and grabs my shoulder.

I respond that I haven't seen anybody. I warn Sora that Darkness is coming up.

He reports that he had feel it too and then we run to the foamy sea.

We can just see, how a blonde mop of hair disappears into endless Darkness.

The boy called Alphonse is panicking a lot.

So Sora and I decide to help him.

I don't think there would have been anyone else who could've helped him now. And we really like to help because we would experience another adventure. An adventure would do us good after 3 years of nothingness.

To our astonishment, the Gummiship appears out of nowhere (it's bigger now too).

The Darkness seemed to have an effect on other worlds too it seems.

After a bit of discussing we hop aboard the Gummiship and start the Travel.

It is the begin of a new Journey, which is dimmed by the loss of Al's older brother Edward.

The small boy almost isn't to cheer up. He grieves.
