The Tattoo AlchemistA long time ago there were alchemist who used science to fix a lot of there own problems. There were two forces continuously fighting. The State and The Rebellion. This war raged on and eventually died. Now the world is back to normal for the most part. There are still gangs and criminals. In fact that's where our story begins.
Ch. 1- How It Began
One day a boy and his mother were grocery shopping. The boy had no siblings and his father left when he was a baby. After they had gotten everything they needed for supper they got in their car and drove home.
When they got home their house was a mess. A giant star was graffitied on their house. Soon after the boy's mother disappeared and he was left to fend for himself on the streets. Three weeks later he found a card on the ground that had a circle with different shapes on it. On his way to the park, that's were he slept, he saw a huge group of people standing on the football field. He went up front and found that the card he had found was an invite to this gathering. He waited about twenty minutes and a man came on the stage in front of him and stood at the podium and introduced himself. He was one of the only alchemists left in the world. His name was Oliver. " The only way you found this stage is by the cards I sent out. I am here to offer you a chance. A chance to get one of the best prizes in the world. But in order to get this prize you must first be willing to die. If you do not want to risk your life please put your cards in this box and stand to aside." All but three people put their cards back. " You three people are the only ones willing to risk your lives to get on of the best prizes? Why?" said Oliver. The two other people said they never fear anything. The last boy said, "I've lost my home, my father, my mother, and everything else in my life. I don't care if I live or die. So lets get on with it." "OK then if you three would please put your cards in your left hands and clap them shut" Oliver said with out a moments hast. All three people did it and right when there hands clapped ten thousand volts of pure electricity was sent though their bodies. You could see the electricity around them. The boy in back was the first to fall. Drop down dead. Next was the girl who was dead before she hit the ground. And then our boy hit the ground. Oliver said "It's a pity no one was able to with stand the test." But just as he turned around our boy got up and stated "ok now what." Oliver turned around and with great surprise his said "You are the first one to survive the test. How did you do it?" "It's very simple I used the ground to deflect most of the electricity so I had enough left not to kill me." "Very smart boy what is your name?" "Justin." He stated. Oliver went up to the podium once again and said "This boy is the first one in ten years to survive my test so as his reward he is to learn alchemy by my side as my new apprentice."
