I don't own "Full Metal Alchemist" and "Chrno Crusade", nor any of the characters from those shows.

Author notes: Just so you know; I have a Muse. And right now she hates me. I tried to kill her to write chapter 2. She is still ignoring me.

All in all Eden wasn't a bad place, if you weren't afraid of heights… For Envy it was his own piece of heaven. Ever since he woke up on morning to find a man with long white hair smiling at him things in his life seemed to be taking a turn for the better. The other sinners were more afraid of him then they were letting out. Or to say; they were afraid of what Aion would do to them should some kind of harm come to him.

And Envy, to the best of his nature, exploited this fact to its limits; better say he was still testing its limits. Rizel was by far the worst. She would glare at him all the time, hiss when ever she got the chance, shoot nasty remarks at him, but Envy simply found her childish. She was just, well, envious.

Aion would often go to get the "necessary objects" that would help him "accomplish his goal", but Envy only given enough information to keep him from complaining. When ever Aion would come back it was worth the wait. There was some kind of passion between them that Envy felt attached to Aion. Maybe it wasn't just passion…

Envy was sitting on the edge of Eden and looking wistfully and the world beneath him. He wanted to go down there and see all that this world had to offer. Surprisingly he didn't think that much about revenge nowadays he was mostly focused on himself.

No matter how happy he was while Aion was around, he soon found himself wondering how long things will be that way. What will change? What will happen in the future? Aion would distract him from his thoughts of what is beyond his beautiful cage. It was a cage. A golden one. Aion had forbidden him to go down, better say look for a way to get down to the ground. That was the only time he used harsh words on Envy. But he tried to calm Envy's curiosity simply by telling him that he belonged up in Eden with him. And that there was nothing special or exiting about the world down there.

But one question still lingered on Envy's mind. Didn't the sinners dream of coming to that world? Wasn't that world their freedom? 'Isn't that world my freedom?'

"Take me to my father!"

But he wasn't taken to his father. When he woke up he was in a very strange world. It looked like the one he came from. But people were wearing very strange clothes. And there was this strange feeling he had. Like a force, energy so strong that it could not be denied. It was all around and everywhere. And in the sky he saw a green light that flowed like a river. Was that normal in this world?

Then he heard it. Someone was calling him. He heard it not with his ears, but in his mind. And before he could stop himself he was waling in the direction of a strong force. Something he felt made his heart wince in pain. It was anger, hate, passion, sorrow, all at the same time. And the only thing that was clear was the calling, so he followed it.

He found himself standing in front of a temple of some kind. It looked oddly familiar, so he entered it. There stood a man, dressed in white, with long white hair tied to a tail. He held out and arm and a very big bird landed on it. As he turned Envy got a better view of his face, and eyes, eyes that looked a lot like his own. The man smiled and walked towards him. The bird was once again in the air, making lazy circles above them.

The man stopped right in front of him, and their closeness was making Envy feel a bit like a teenager. Some hormones started waking up. The man moved and arm behind Envy and pulled him into a hug.

"Can you feel them?"

Envy's eyes widened. "What?"

"The humans. You can fell them, better say, feel their feelings."

"Yes" Envy did feel something before he heard the call, and it was all around, but not now, not when he was in the embrace of this man.

"My name is Aion. And I will take you to where they won't bother you."

He brushed his lips against Envy's and….

Envy felt someone hugging him and purring. "Shader!" Envy shrieked and jumped up. Luckily Shader was holding a firm grip on him "Are you going for a fall from Eden?"

"I told you to stop doing that!" Envy yelled exasperated.

The cat demon meowed and said "I can't help it, you are all so cute!"

Envy looked around, he was no longer alone. Joshua was there as well as Shader. He looked at Joshua who was looking just as annoyed as he felt, he got hugged to…

"You were daydreaming again."

"No" Envy sighed, "Just thinking…"
