Sorry I didn't update in a while I was on holidays and didn't have the time, I really hope you enjoy this and please don't forget to leave a review it would mean a lot to me
It's been two weeks since Ed landed in this universe and so far no signs of magic, so either Truth really was messing with him or he just didn't come by it yet.
What frightened Ed was the fact that there was no Equivalent Exchange in this universe, he could as much Alchemy as he pleased without lifting a finger just like father, he shivered at the thought. Is this why they can use magic because there is no Equivalent Exchange he thought.
These two weeks haven't been the best, he was found passed out in the middle of the street by civilians and brought to hospital, luckily he came to quickly after and managed to hide his automail, he doesn't know how advance these people are when he saw the complicated machinery and it was best to be safe. He pretended not to remember anything and was put into a children's home until her either got his memory back or they found his `guardians`. He gave a frustrated sigh as he closed his book.
He was sitting against a tree in the park the only other person in the park was a boy around his age, that was until a beefy boy appeared with a bunch of his friends. From what it looked like they were trying to cause trouble to the kid on the swing. Ed just shrugged it off and decided just to leave. He turned around when he heard a burst of laughing, he had not expected to see the boy with glasses to hold a stick up to the larger being. Seriously though!? A stick? Maybe he should help the boy after all.
He began to walk towards them when he saw it was getting darker rather too quickly. He looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds forming quickly. The large boy looked pale and frightened while the skinny one looked confused, the rest of the group ran off. The weirdest part of it was when he felt some weird energy, it made him feel cold in the inside. Was this magic? or something else? He made eye contact with the boy. At first he thought the boy was looking at him but found out that he was looking right past the young alchemist.
Ed looked behind himself and saw these figures in black cloaks heading towards them. As he look forward again he saw both boys sprinting away from the miserable looking creatures. Ed followed suit .
They neared the tunnel when both boys had to catch their breaths, Ed didn't need to, seeing as he was fit enough already. He stared at the skinny boy
"what the fuck are they!".
The boy frowned as if he didn't realise Edward have been running behind them this whole time. He opened his mouth and was about to say something until his face immediately paled, Ed swiftly turned around but as he did he could feel his body turning extremely cold even though it was still summer.
Flashes of bad memories resurfaced, the one where his father left, when his mom died, when he tried to bring her back, truth, Nina, getting told that Maes was dead because of him. He could hear screaming. He wasn't sure if it was somebody else's or if it was his. At that moment he felt so depressed and was in agony.
He saw a flash of light and suddenly the agonising pain was gone. He looked back and saw the boy holding the stick that had a faint glow to it. Guess magic really is real he thought as everything suddenly went black
Cliff hanger! if you have any suggestion on what I should write for my next chapter don't feel shy to share.
