Chapter 1 :How it began
500 hundred years ago, before Dante created the Homunculus
known as Envy, she was a fourteen year old girl. She was usually bored, because
her father was always studing a new theory in alchemy,something called
homunculi. Her mother was always working at the village, getting money for
their living, while her father was head ankist at the castle. He usually made money
by transmuting jewelry and silks out of carbon and stone. One day while her father
and mother went on a trip to some far away kingdom to show thier countries
alchemy, she was reading her father's notes.While reading ,she discovered the
myth of the philospher's stone.The stone contained the secrets to immortal life,
the ability to bypass the law of equivalent exchange, and how the stone could
be used as a medium for creating homunculi. She read on. She thought to herself
Father and Mother will recognize me if I create a philospher's stone. She read about
what kind of circle to use, the correct latin phrases to draw, and a mystery
ingredient. She read her father's journal, the one that she was forbidden to even
touch. While reading , she came across something shocking. Her father had
notes on the stone! She read that the secret ingredients were humans!
She wanted to throw up. She could already feel the bile in her throat. Then,
she fainted. When Dante woke,she found herself in her bed with a elderly lady
with a kind face seated beside her."You gave me quite a scare. But I'm glad
your okay." Of course, her grandmother was coming to see her today.Her
grandmother seemed to be the only one who cared that she was here alone.
"I'm sorry grandmother, I just had a shocking experience." "Would you care
to talk about it dear?" asked the old woman." No,no I don't."
Later that night, when her grandma had left,and Dante was
asleep, she had a dream. Her father was standing in front of her. She was
sitting a chair like she had never seen before.It was tall and imposing,and
riddled with eyes that seemed to pierce into her soul."Look at me!" said
her father in an unearthley howl." Your such a FAILURE.You can't even
create a philospher's stone. You think your such a great alchemist,Dante.
The Terra alchemist?Transmuting earth. Any alchemist can transmute dirt!
Almost no alchemist can transmute the philospher's stone.Your useless."
Then ,the chair became a gate. It creaked open, and a multitude of small
black hands encircled her and pulled her in. She tried to scream, but her voice
was gone."AAAHHHHH! "She jolted awake and began to cry.When she stopped
crying, she began to think.The key ingredient in the stone are humans.What if she
used humans no one cared about, like the beggars. Then, she smiled at cruel smile.
Her parents would be gone another week. Plenty of time,she thought.Her mind
was set. Tommorow, she would start on the stone.
