Chapter 2

Lily opened her eyes. Everything around her was just a bright, endless, whiteness. The only thing of solidity was the immense intricately carved black gate directly in front of Lily. Suddenly, a creepy white figure seemed to peel itself from the light and form a human shape. However, the only trait it had was a large maniac grin. Then it spoke.

"I am Truth, I am god, but most of all, I AM YOU! And may I say mademoiselle, you have a truly lovely body."

Lily glanced down to keep from answering, and then saw that she was completely naked. WTF? That made a bit of sense, but not much. Her big questions still hadn't changed at all.

"How did I get here, where is here, and why are you grinning?"

Truth considered this for a few minutes before starting to explain.

"Think of your world as having walls around it. Other worlds have walls right up next to yours and I'm just the insulation. Your world is damaging itself, so in places the wall is more like a waterfall you can pass through if you do the right thing, action, whatever. And when you pass under the waterfall, you come to the cave back or isolation, me. That make sense?"

"A little… But then wouldn't lots of people be falling through all the time?"

"No. The people in the worlds have look-alikes in all the other worlds. If your double dies then you can travel to that world. On top of that, you have to do a specific action. But you made it and I'll let you cross if you want. But be warned, it will cost you. It is difficult for me to breach the walls in Amestris, the only place your double is dead in. However, I will do you a favor and let you pick what you'll pay me with".

Lily pondered this for a few moments. She was sick of her world; nothing had been the same with Alanna gone. Still, she wondered if she would be able to get back. Well, when opportunity knocks…

"I'll give up my right leg for passage, my left arm for knowledge, and some of my height for fixing my eyesight."

"That is more then enough to pass through. What knowledge would you like?"

'Fighting… and natural alchemy. I'd kinda like to join the military in Amestris."

Truth smirked at her.

"Alright, it's a deal."

The world began to go dark and Lily felt herself shrink. Looking down, she felt a wrenching sort of emptiness as she watched her right leg and left arm disappear. Looking at the Truth, Lily saw it had grown taller and had a flesh right leg and left arm. The gate then captivated Lily's attention as thousands of little strong black shadow hands pulled her into the gate Opening its mouth and speaking with that weird, creepy voice of it's, Truth cackled loudly and said "Oh, and mademoiselle? You can never go back." The doors slammed shut just then and the last thing Lily saw was the Truth's maniac grin.

She found herself in a big dark place, a vast void. Suddenly thousands of things sped past her eyes like miniature movies. One by one they logged in Lily's brain. She found that she knew how to bring life to dead wood and how to face off against a group of fifteen attackers and not die. She could create flowers out of dirt and a little of some dead or alive plant and predict an enemy's move just by how they breathed and stood. But more and more was going into her head. Faster they went, pouring in and burrowing deep inside her skull. Lily's head was pounding as more formulas and thoughts streamed in. Just when she was expecting her head to explode, she felt herself hurl ling through time and space until she landed and everything went blissfully dark.

A/N You may have noticed the theme of color fade outs. I'll probaly try and get the whole rainbow into this story. Untill next week, -Boots
