Prologue
The sun has gone from the shining skies,
Bye, baby, bye,
The dandelions have closed their eyes,
Bye, baby, bye.
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
If babes and squirrels and birds and bees,
Are sound asleep as they should be,
Bye, baby, bye…
A small, frail-looking blonde teen sat alone on his bed, thin sheets pulled around his trembling shoulders. Mismatched hands, one steel, one flesh, gripped the white cloth, twisting it into nervous knots. Greasy blonde hair fell limp down his back and along his shoulders, stringy and knotted from weeks of neglect. Golden eyes gleamed in his pale, thin face, no longer filled with life and energy as they once were.
That is all that remained of the once-confident State Alchemist, Edward Elric.
"He's gone… All gone… My baby brother…" the teen crooned, rocking back and forth ever so slightly.
Across from him, a man sat on another bunk, just glaring at the small boy. He had long dark hair that was pulled back into a long ponytail, haunting yellow eyes, a lithe form, and an angry frown.
The man stood and marched over to the teen, whom hadn't seemed to notice his temperamental companion, and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Listen, kid…" He growled, "Shut up, ok? I'm trying to sleep, it's almost midnight."
Edward turned his head slowly, and looked up at the taller being, scanning his features for some unknown purpose. He glanced at the man's free hand, and noticed an alchemic circle tattooed on the palm.
"You're an alchemist…? " He mumbled, eyes flicking up to the man's face again.
The man smiled darkly, glaring down at the small, frail thing sitting there.
"Yes. I was part of the military. I was even in the war…" he hissed, growing slightly impatient with the boy. Why was he so daft?
"I was too…" Edward whispered, barely audible, even in the practically silent cell. "But.. I'm not anymore…"
The man's grin turned to one of happiness.
"Well. Then you'd be able to help me get out of here then… Let me introduce myself… My name is Zolf Kimbley… And you?"
"…Edward Elric."
