AU: So... I hope that you're content with chapter 1, because I'm quite new here. Thanks to the followers and favourites! :D Please R&R!

I think about 100 years has passed since I was born. If not, 101. Or 102. It doesn't matter because every day is the same: Waking, greeting Father, listening to Father's plans, obeying Father, being proud and arrogant, staring at my shadows, getting permission from Father to go out, staring at the clouds, killing some lowly humans for fun, and obeying Father...

Nothing worth noticing, but I've grown and improved.

Father taught me many things like the history of Xerxes and immortality and his plans and Truth, and I listened to every single word, while feeling very proud of him. I mean it, it might sound weird, but I'm very proud that I have a Father who loves me so much. Not like those other creatures which eat their own offspring. Or those humans who sell their daughters to be some man's wife. Or some woman, whom I knew from reading a human book called a 'Bible', that put her baby in a reed basket and abandoned him, leaving him to float away on a river and ending up as an Egyptain princess' plaything. No, not like that.

I also told Father what I thought about in Riviere, about the humans and happiness and laughing. He was so kind that he removed these thoughts from me. He said they were harmful. I don't remember how he did it, but I think it hurt a little, because when I returned to conciousness my head was throbbing and my vision was fuzzy. Father said I would be more like myself from that day on. I'm not sure what he means by 'be like myself', but I think it means being arrogant and proud and such. But the only one I socialize with is Father, and I can't be arrogant with him, so I just kept quiet unless he talked to me.

I made myself a little room in a space between some of the sewage pipes, big enough for me to sit in. It's much more neater than those so called 'houses' that humans build, which look disgusting with flowers and dogs and children sticking out of them.

I was starting to get impatient with my life when it happened. No, she happened.

Father ignored me for a couple of days, always sitting on his throne and... Making something? I didn't ask, because I shouldn't. All I have to do is obey. But one day he started mumbling to his hands and I was aware. Not really curious, but worried, I think. Father never mumbles to himself, don't mention his hands.

''Awaken," he said, "Awaken, my... and...loyal..."

At least that was what I made out from his mumbling. It sounded familiar, but I didn't know.

I think he must have known I was there, because he then said, "Pride, come," in a voice just loud enough for someone within 2 metres to hear. I walked out from the shadows to see Father... and a woman. She was beautiful, with long and wavy black hair, a low cut tight dress, black gloves reaching her elbows, and an ouroboros tattoo above her chest.

Her face was blank, and her eyes unfocused, and she obviously wasn't listening to what Father was explaining. Then it hit me. The deep voice, the man in robes, the dim light, "Pride the Arrogant", philosopher's stones... Yes, I knew.

That woman- girl- was my sister.

Father talked about philosopher stones, and Amestris, and transmutation circles, and his plan, and Hohenheim, but she wasn't listening. She was looking at me. I stared back.

Something fluttered inside me. Maybe it was because a beautiful girl was staring at me, or maybe it was because of her eyes, which looked like mine. I have never looked closely at my eyes before, nor do I have any idea what they really look like, because I don't usually look into mirrors. But when I looked into her eyes, I knew they belonged to me. Or a part of me. Or I was in them. I don't know, but they seemed like my eyes, she seemed like myself, her philosopher's stone seemed like mine- something I should protect.

Then Father said, "Your name is Lust the Lascivious."

That was when I found my voice again and said, "Lust. I'm Pride the Arrogant, the first homunculus."

''I'm your older brother," I added.

She smiled.

Yep... So TADA! Lust is born.
