This is my first fic so I hope it turns out well. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Ed entered Mustang's office while yelling "What the hell do you want now Mustang."

"Ah, I'm glad you could make it Fullmetal."

It was just then that Ed noticed that there was another person in the room. He was around six feet tall, and he was wearing a black long sleeve shirt identical to the one Ed was wearing and a pair of blue jeans. He had short brown hair and green eyes. He also had a blood red transmutation circle on each of his black gloves. The right one was just a basic circle like the one Al uses but Ed had never seen anything like the one on his right hand. The only other noticeable thing about him was that he had a katana on his back.

"The reason I called you in here was to meet our newest State Alchemist. His name is Jason Skye the Shadow Alchemist."

"It's nice to finally meet the famous Fullmetal Alchemist," Jason said, "but I was expecting someone a bit taller."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR A DOLL!" Ed screamed at the top of his lungs while he gave Jason the most evil look possible.

"Hey man calm down. I didn't say any of that stuff anyway! Jeez, I had heard about his temper but I didn't think it was this bad."

"You have no idea."

"What is that supposed to mean Mustang," Ed said angrily, "and why are you called the Shadow Alchemist."

As soon as Ed said that, the circle on Jason's left hand began to glow and in less than a second he had completely disappeared.

"Where did he go?" Ed yelled out in surprise.

"Nowhere," came Jason's disembodied voice. A second later he reappeared right where he was standing before.

"That was amazing. How did you do that?" Ed said in wonderment.

"He has discovered a new type of alchemy," Roy said. "This new type of alchemy has the power to alter light."

"Really, that's freaking awesome!"

"Fullmetal, I need you to take him to his room in the barracks and get him settled in. After that you can do whatever the hell you want, but I need both of you back here in two hours."

"Fine I'll do it. Come on Jason, and tell me some more about this light alchemy."

Sorry this chapter was so short, but it was mainly to introduce my new character. I promise to make the next one longer. Please review! All advice is welcome!
