Chapter2: …
A women stands over a strange circle, she lowers her hands into one side of the circle. At first the light that was coming from the circle and its symbols seemed to be calm with a soothing blue, then it became fierce with a crimson red glow. It had failed. A gate…Edward woke with a shudder, 'I had that dream again…' he looked down at his seemed to be human hands 'Just a dream…'
Trisha had gotten back from her son's funeral with Alphonse, it seemed to rain endlessly. She seen Winry at the funeral, she seemed to shiver, perhaps at the thought of having all the people she cares for die when she turns her back? Death made all people feel uneasy, all humans feel uneasy after a death. Trisha was walking up the stairs, Alphonse trailing behind her. Then she tripped over something, a red book, what was written on the book made her jump with surprise. It was the answer to her problems, human transmutation. She had studied alchemy one time in her life until one day she felt sick of it.
Trisha studied the forbidden alchemy nightly, and did her daily chores while taking care of Al. A month, it was after a month when she decided that it was time to perform the impossible. In her basement, she closed the small window that showed the outside world, and by candle light she drew the alchemic circle. In the center of the circle she added the ingredients. She stood over the strange alchemic circle, she lowered her hands into one side of the circle. At first the light that was coming from the circle and its symbols seemed to be calm with a soothing blue light, then it became fierce with a crimson red glow.
It had failed. She had suddenly appeared at a gate. A large set of doors that led where? It opened, 'its' tentacles shot out of the inside of the doors and wrapped around her and dragged her in to its dark abyss of nothingness. Images flashed into her head showing her the pure alchemic knowledge(clearly not all of it). Then a young shadowed figure at the end of the darkness, one encircled with light held out his hand his golden eyes staring at her, Edward. Trisha leaned a bit out of he tentacles reach, she held out her hand to her young son. For a split second the tip of their fingers met, but Trisha who looked below her leaned out self saw the dark nothingness, her fell back into the grip of the tentacles in fear of falling inside the darkness. The tentacles did not continue going forward towards the end of the darkness and into the world beyond, it instead retreated back out of the gate. Trisha only watched as the figure that was her son, disappeared. The tentacles dropped her at the gate's front, and then her arms disappeared.
She returned to the darkness that she recognized as her basement, she somehow sensed the crowded rooms shape. She lay on the floor, armless, she then looked to the middle of the circle. 'It' was in the middle, it was alive and yet inhuman. She crawled over to have a closer look at it, it had golden eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Trisha snapped out of her day dream, 'it happened 2years ago…'she thought to herself. She continued to cook; she has to feed her 2children. Her sons, one of which was secret to people outside the family. She had something to tell them, she washed and dried her metal hands. She went down to the basement to find both her 6year old Alphonse sitting beside her seemingly 7year old Edward, both reading alchemy books. Both seemingly normal boys, Edward wore a red headband.
Trisha came in excitedly, "Boys, I've decided that since Edward is tired of staying indoors, and also since both of you seem to take a liking to alchemy very much, I've decide we are moving to the city of alchemy, Central!"
I was tired during the writing of this chapter, but 'if' your reading this, I would like to say that chapter3 will start getting the juicy parts.
