Chimera
-Martel-
This is the final chapter people. Sorry to all those Greed fans out there for not giving him a chapter as my reasons has already been explained in Dorchette's chapter.
I'm not sure if I captured Martel's character properly, but my friends in school say it's alright. What do you guys think? Let's give it a read and then say its good or bad, shall we?
NOTE: SCENES ARE TAKEN FROM THE MANGA, NOT THE ANIME.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Martel.
I don't need to tell you where I've been or what I've been through.
My blood-stained hands tell it all.
As a matter of fact, me being a snake chimera reveal even more of where I've gone and what I've been doing.
I'd rather not talk about my past, but without that despicable past, I may never be where I am now.
Yeah, working with a homunculus.
What can be worse?
Right, helping him obtain eternal life.
But we didn't mind. After all, he was the one who gave us a roof over our heads and a place to sleep in.
Greed gave us a life.
It was more than enough reason for me to work for him.
At the same time, I met a young boy named Alphonse whose soul was fused with a suit of armor.
He was sweet, very caring, but I wasn't sure if he understood our motives.
Our reasons to keep on following a greedy homunculus.
What I was sure of was Roa and Dorchette's stupidity.
They released Alphonse of his binds when Bradley appeared and told him to run away and keep me safe.
Idiots, the two of you!
The suit of armor was rooted to the ground and I myself couldn't get out of him because he wanted me to stay safe.
Safe? Yeah, right.
How safe was it when he cut down my two comrades?
How safe was it when I tried to strangle him with Al's hands?
As they say, "The safest place is the most dangerous."
Well, that sure applied to me.
Cold steel pierced through my heart.
It surprised me to no end as to how he managed to stab me where he couldn't see.
It slowly got darker as more blood flowed out of my wound.
The only sound that I could hear then was of my own heart.
It's stopped beating.

Okay. That's the end folks! I know it's short, but that's how I like it, for this kind of story at least. I hope what they say makes sense because these scenes were taken from the manga, not the anime, just to remind you, in case you didn't read my previous notes...
So, I say 'bye-bye' here and we'll see each other in our review panels, shall we?
R&R!
