Chimera
-Roa-
Okay, here we are. Roa. The big guy. :) Need I say more? Let's get on with the reading:)
NOTE: SCENES ARE TAKEN FROM THE MANGA, NOT THE ANIME.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am called Roa.
A military once in my lifetime, but never again.
Not after being fused with a bull. Not after being turned into a chimera.
Pathetic, isn't it?
How a muscleman such as myself can actually lose all hope of living.
But I put up a brave front.
I didn't want the others to lose hope.
Especially not Martel and Dorchette.
Let my bitterness eat me inside out, those two are just too young in my eyes to give up living.
Unlike them, I've already prepared myself for the worse. Prepared myself for death.
When we found ourselves a new home with a homunculus named Greed, I'd brood all day long for the first few days.
At least until Greed pat me on the back one day and said,
"Loosen up, will you? Join in the fun!"
Whether he was drunk or otherwise at that time, I didn't bother finding out.
All I knew was that I never brooded again after that.
I thought we could live in peace without ever being disturbed here, in the Devil's Nest.
Of course, there isn't such a thing as long as we weren't completely human.
The military raided our 'home', and we ran for it.
I never thought I'd be running from a fight, but hey, there's always a first time to everything, right?
It was for a good cause. Martel, Dorchette and I swore to protect Greed at all costs.
That was exactly what I did.
When Bradley came to the picture, I knew that we were fighting a losing battle.
But then, there's the saying "You never know unless you try".
I gambled. I wanted to take on the President alone.
But Dorchette insisted on helping me.
That fool.
Pain wracked through my body as Bradley's swords sliced through me easily.
God, don't let this monster get any nearer to those I hold dear...

I think Roa's chapter kind of sucks. I don't really know how to 'capture' a character, so I'm just assuming this is how they act. Is it any closer to them in the anime or manga? Do tell me. :(
Martel is the last one to have her say on the matter! Let's go see, once I've uploaded it. :)
