Part 3

"Um, hi," all gave a small smile to the three women in front of him "I'm Edward Elric and this is my brother, Alphonse Elric." He hoped telling them their names would break the ice, in a matter of speaking.

The Elves did seem to care. The red head lifted her right hand, palm open to them. Then closing her odd colored eyes she muttered a few words and Ed and Al didn't understand. On the last word she opened her eyes, just as she did that a shock wave emitted from her hand and swept towards the brothers. They braced themselves for the contact, but as it neared them Al started to glow. And the shock wave just went right through Ed and him.

The Elf's eyes widened as her wave was absorbed into the trees. "What?? What are you?" She asked them.

"Al! What the heck was that?" Ed was frustrated, scared and fascinated at the same time.

"Brother, what is wrong with me?" looking down at his hands, Al flexed them to make sure they were still working. The glow that had surrounded him was now gone, 'And it better not come back' Al thought to himself.

The Elf had now lowered her hand. The look of shock had fled from her face, it was now a mask of ageless beauty. "Hello" she finally said to them "I am Amara, and they" she said as she gestured to the other two "are my sisters, Yulana and Len. Where did you come from? We did not know that another Elf was sent this way."

"What? We are not Elves, what are you talking about woman?" Ed took his eyes off of Al to look at her.

"I was not talking to you; you are nothing but a small shrimp. Your brother is the elf."

Ed's mouth hung open (he must be in to much shock to notice that she called him a shrimp) and Al looking up from his hands.

"That cant be, if he's and Elf and we are brothers doesn't that make me an Elf to? What! What am I talking about? Where are we, and what the hell do you mean about all this crap about Elves? And what the heck is up with your hair and eyes?"

"You talk too much" that taller one said, her purple hair was now uncovered and she was examining a tree that had suffered a blow from the wave. "Amara, did you use the Kar'ren spell? I thank you for that; none of these trees are damaged."

That small one stared laughing. Just out of the blue fell on her back and started laughing.

"What the? Yulana, get up!" Amara turned to her and tried to get her to stop laughing "what is up with you?"

Through her laughing she said: "that little one…. He is…. he is…. So short…. I think I'm event talker then him…." She stopped, got up, and walked over to Ed (who, by the way, finally got what she said) "Ya know, you're not human ether." She looked him over and grabbed his right arm "You're a Matary aren't you?"

Yulana's little 'you're not a human' speech got her out of a big hurting. Ed was about to open a can of woop-ace on her when she grabbed his arm.

"No, your something else. Hmm, take off your glove" she demaned, letting go of his arm, only to grab it again once the glove was off. "Your not a Matary, your not an Elf, what are you?" She wispered to herself, examaning the automail arm.

Finaly, Len spoke up, "Why don't you two join us at our fire? You look hungery, have you not eaten yet?"

Al's face lit up "Thank you, we would love to join you, and no, we have not had any food since we came here." As in an after though, he added "where is here, by the way?"

Amara snorted, " you twerps don't event know where you are? Then I suggest you stared getting out, before you get yourselve killed."
