Ed walked down the strange, foriegn road, kicking a small rock in front of him. He had no idea where he was, where he was going, or had he got there. But, he remembered how he got there...
"What the hell are you saying!" Ed screamed at his supirior officer. The Colonel, Roy Mustang, sat at his desk with his hands folded. He showed no sign of emotion at Ed's outburst; he had expected much worse.
"I- I meant what I said, Edward," Roy said, adjusting to the use of Edwards true name, not the hollow sham the military had given him. "I'm... I'm so sorry."
Ed grabbed the front of Roy's jacket, fury and great sadness etched into every hard line of his young face. Too young, Roy thought. He's too young to hear this...
"Sorry..." Ed growled through clenched teeth. "Sorry!" His voice rose in pitch and volume. "I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT! WILL IT DO ANYTHING! CAN YOUR SORRY BRING MY LITTLE BROTHER BACK TO LIFE!" Ed threw down the lapel of Roys jacket and ran. Ran for all he was worth...
Ed gave the rock a particularly vicious kick, sending skittering down a side street. For some reason, Ed chased after the rock like it was his lifeline. He stooped in front of the strangest building her had ever seen. It was flat, clearly one story, and so out of place in this concrete jungle. A large likeness of the cresent moon sat atop the roof. Ed felt drawn to this place. So he did what he always did. He barged inside.
"Welcome!"
"Welcome!" Two small girls each grabbed an arm of his, smiling angelically as they pulled him in. Ed stuggled, but soon ceased. They were far stonger than he was at this point; all he wanted was Al back. Or... maybe to go where Al was...
"Mistress, we have a guest!"
"A guest! A guest!"
"Very well. Maru, Moro, show our guest you manners," The two girls giggled and shoved Ed into a small, elaborate room. A woman lay on a simple couch, her hair all aroung her head like a dark halo.
Ed slumped to the floor. "I- I,"
The woman took his stuttering as an apology and carelessly waved a hand. "No bother at all. One might say that your coming here was... Hitsuzen. You have a wish yes?"
Ed nodded his head. "Can... you...?"
The woman sat up and tossed her hair. "Yes I can grant it. But... it will cost an equivelant exchange. Are you prepared to give it?"
Ed nodded again. "So be it. Your wish... is granted."
Please review!
