A/N: I'm so sorry! I forgot to put the stupid disclaimer in last chapter!
Disclaimer: Here goes. I don't own Full Metal Alchemist. If I did, this would be an episode!
Chapter Two: The Two Angels
When Reiki woke up, Ed asked about her alchemy and the drawings.
"My alchemy is unique." She told them. "Ed. Try to bend the shadows to your will."
Ed did so and the shadow only stretched a little bit.
"Wow… You must be skilled… Almost everybody can't do anything with it." Reiki complemented him. Ed was amazed at the difficulty level of Shadow Alchemy.
"What about the drawings? What do those mean?" Al asked.
"My drawings? I saw the images in a dream and I wanted to see if I could recreate them. After Mom died, the only way to accurately display my feelings was to draw."
"What happened to her?" Ed advanced carefully, feeling that this was a sore topic.
"She died when my brother was born." she replied, no emotion in her voice.
"How old is he?"
"He would have been 12 today… If he was still alive…"
"How did he die?"
Reiki sat up. "We tried bringing back Mom…" Ed flinched. "The transmutation failed. He lost his body and I lost my heart… That's what the gate said, anyway… When I lost my brother, I immediately set up a new circle and tried to bring him back. I blacked out before the transmutation was complete… When I woke up, his body was there, and I couldn't find an Ouroboros tattoo anywhere… He woke up and spoke to me. I was so happy that I hadn't lost him… It was then that he noticed my wings… He said, 'I guess you're an angel now, right?' Then he stood up, carried me into our aunt's house and just left… He said something about the Philosopher's Stone before leaving…" Ed perked up.
"What did he say about it?" Ed asked, determined to get answers.
"He said that he was going to create it… He also said that I would find a young alchemist who was looking for it, and wanted to make it for him and his brother. I presume the young alchemist is you?" she asked him.
"How do you think he knew?" Al whispered to Ed.
"Well, he wasn't called the 'Awai no Ekisha' for nothing." Reiki replied, overhearing the brothers' conversation.
"Brother, what does that mean?"
"'Light Diviner'…" Ed mouthed, shocked.
Reiki looked at Ed. "I'm going to go look for him. Will you help me?"
"I will." Ed replied, a solemn look on his face. "Al? Do you agree?"
"I do, Brother."
Reiki smiled. "So, where do we start first?"
"I think we should introduce her to the Colonel. We still have to give him your report, remember?" Al reminded Ed.
Ed sighed. "I guess… Come on." Reiki followed Ed and Al to the Colonel's office.

"So, you want me to get her into the State Alchemist Exams?" Mustang asked Ed.
"Yes." Ed replied.
Roy turned to Reiki. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes. I need to do this."
"Alright. I'll see what I can do… It won't be simple though…"
"Yes, I know."
A/N: A little bit longer than last chapter. This one just didn't want to end on me.
Please review!
