The damned brat had better be grateful that he had a use to Mustang.
A sharp fist connected to Ed's jaw as he waited. His hair matted with blood both his own and the Other's. The damned being with so much the same as him relished the task of bringing him to terms with his 'destiny.' No matter how hard he struggled against the chains, he couldn't break their hold. The demon grasped his skin tightly as the cutting rain sliced deeply into his back.
"Too bad he isn't coming."
The words—cruelly whispered into his ear—weaved doubt through Ed's mind. Instead of weakening the resolve of the younger demon, it bolstered the urge to survive. If Mustang had betrayed him by not coming to retrieve him, there would be hell to pay. He'd make sure of it once he escaped.
"Too bad you're too stupid to live."
Ed's head jerked upwards as flames engulfed the Other. The need to laugh bubbled in his chest so badly that he could barely stop the giggle that escaped.
Then the world crashed about his feet with fanfare of shattering glass and shards of metal.
Lightning began to flash dangerously close to him as Ed—no longer the human he'd been four long years ago—screamed in a language only he and the Other understood. The harsh winds swirled into cyclones of glass and metal as the Other answered his challenge. The sun and the new moon would be forced to see who would be the first to claim the others life for taking that which was most precious to them.
