Rukusho-That's fine, you actually have a life (apparently of golf, lol). Well, you got to read this one, and I'll try to have as much fun as I can at my grandmother's. :)
Blonde-Existentialist-Fernando! No, I'm kidding. Everyone seems fond of using Maes, which then makes the name somewhat unoriginal. So, I think Roy's son could be named Kaji (Japanese for 'flame' and also the name of a hot male character form Neon Genesis Evangelion). :)Amazonian Anime Queen-If it makes you feel better I'm actually older than you (I'm really 16), I just forgot to update my profile after my birthday, lol. An lj? I posted the titles in a community and offered the idea of using them for themes. Only one person responded and said they'd read them if I wrote them (or something like that), so I decided to do it. And yes, question should have been there, that's what I get for not waiting for my beta to look it over XD. :)
Also, thanks for reviewing az4ever, hakubaikou-chan, Lil-Kudo, gundamjunkierx780, Flava Sava, The Air Alchemist, saffiremoon21, Hah, and raikujin. :)
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Romeo and Juliet", Act 2 scene 2
#4 Title
After he had passed the exam, after he became a state alchemist, Roy Mustang had received the title of Flame Alchemist.
Receiving the name Flame Alchemist, Roy had a number of doors opened for him, hundreds of alchemic books and secrets were in his reach. He could learn more, become better, make a difference in a world that needed it.
Under the name of Flame Alchemist, Roy had become the military's lap dog, a choke collar digging into his flesh at all times. In times of need, it would nearly suffocate him as he was dragged off to fulfill the will of his master.
In Ishbal he had killed families, murdered innocents, eternally stained his hands with blood, and his mouth with alcohol.
He did this all in the name of the military, all under the name of Flame Alchemist.
He hated his name.
