Hey, this is my second story. Check out my other one! But anyways, i was totally unsatisfied with the ending. So i decided to continue on. This, i think, will be a long story. Welcome to the ride, ladies and gentlemen.
-Im here to enkindle courage
After he steps onto the train, he looks back and sees her waving at him. And his gut tells him that it's going to be a while before he can feel her in his arms again. He watches as the train moves farther and farther from the house that he had spent the last two years of this life. A ping of guilt and remorse fills him. He doesn't want to leave her, but he wants to find his place in the world again. Maybe someday, he'll look back and still regret leaving now, but maybe someday, just maybe, he'll be thankful that he had. Turning around with a new sense of determination, Edward Elric takes a deep breath and goes to find his seat. After he sits down he starts to think. I hope she waits for me, though I doubt she will. She's almost 18 and, well, people start looking for spouses then… I finally tell her my feelings and she tells me she feels the same way too. Al was right. Ha, I guess that kid has to know something, sometimes. But then I just go and leave her again! She better not cry. I promise the next time she crys, it will be because I'm back for good. Please wait Winry.
After thinking about everything, Ed figures that he should pull out his map to determine when he would need to get off. Well, I'm going to have to stop in Central to renew my papers…I should pick up some new clothes too. Resembool isn't the best place to shop for clothes. And maybe Ill go see Colonel Asshole and them. Ha, they'll be surprised to see me. I should also pick up some money from the bank, who knows when I'll see one again. Ed looks at the passing hills outside of his window. He watches them fall and rise and fall and rise. Soon he finds himself daydreaming about times when he was younger. Running around with Al, chasing some lead. He laughs as he remembers the many stray cats that Al tried to keep, much to Ed's displeasure. He starts to think about everybody who had helped him and Al on their long journey; Winry, the old bat, Colonel Asshole, Ling, Greed, Doctor Marco, Riza and the other soldiers, the gorilla and lion guys, even his father. He never really thanked them all properly, but he hopes that they know how thankful he is. He hopes that he can help people like they helped him. But at the moment, Ed feels uneasy about this and his decision.
I wish I could just jump ahead to see whether or not I should do this. I wish I could be able to see how my life turns out because of this. Will she hate me for leaving her again? Do I lose everything? Do I turn out alright? Couldn't I just go to the very end and look and see what I need to do? Ha, that's wishful thinking Ed. This is real, not some made up story. He continues to think until he manages to fall asleep, the rattling on the train tracks in his ears.
You see, Edward Elric has grown restless. Staying in one place was not for him; well, not at this time in this life. After traveling around for most of his youth, he, now a 17 year old, thinks its time to continue on. But what Edward won't admit to anyone, including himself, is that he feels useless without his alchemy. He was known as the youngest state alchemist; a fearless warrior and an expert on all matters alchemy. What is he now? A 17 year old who lives with an elder lady, who can't hold a job down for more than a week, can't cook, and can't even fix a hole in the roof without screaming in frustration. He's determined to figure out how to get his alchemy back, even if he has to face God himself. But he doesn't regret giving up his alchemy for Al's body, not even in the darkest parts of his heart. He feels joy and pride in him when he thinks about it. But he does feel sad that he had to lose apart of himself to get Al back. He misses his alchemy and he's determined to figure out how to get it back. And Edward Elric never gives up. Never. But what Mister Elric doesn't know, is that this adventure, is going to be a hell of a ride.
Not bad, right? Well brace yourselves. Here we go!
