Well, I definitely appreciate the review I got! I've noticed that Wrath fanfics aren't the most loved in the world and I'm not some sort of writing prodigy, so I am actually very glad that my first review on this story is positive! Once again, I would like to remind the readers that I respond well to advice and constructive critism, so send it if you have some. Here goes the story!
This whole entire trip had been for the aim to make like make sense, just as it used to, but Wrath's latest action had only served to make matters even more confusing. He had now saved the lives of humans, human he had never met and had never done him any favors. Envy had always went on and on about how lowly humans were and the other homunculi all wanted to become one so bad, they had risked there lives trying; so, was it crazy to help one?
Granted, he hadn't set out to do that, he just couldn't stand the sound of a baby crying, but the look in that girl's eyes. She looked at him like he was some sort of hero. He wanted to feel like he should have just gotten away from the crying baby, like it was a waste of his time to have disposed of those thugs, but… he couldn't. Instead, for the first time in what seemed a long time, he felt like he had done something worth doing and it felt… good. He hated that feeling because he didn't understand, but, the girl's eyes kept recurring in his head and he couldn't shake it.
Inside, he knew what he was, he knew he wasn't made to save people, so he had no reason to have any emotions about it at all, he should just have been able to walk on. He grew more and more angry, he didn't know how to handle this knew emotion and he didn't want to, he just wanted it to go away.
Wrath had been maintaining the same pace for quite a while and the path was slowly getting closer to its end point. He had figured those kids couldn't possibly be too far from home and while there tracks had faded due to the wind a while back, he was still sure the city was in the direction he was going. He tried to banish his other thoughts by remembering his goal, the soul reason he had gone on this little journey, but, he remembered the whole point of this journey was to get a goal, he didn't even have one yet.
'Perhaps I should have thought this out better,' the raven haired kid thought to himself, he let out a frustrated growl-like sound, he could imagine when Ed had told him something just like that, 'You shouldn't be so impulsive,' he had said he took Wrath's mommy away from him forever. His brash behavior had cost him more then he would ever have chosen to pay and even still, he had made another impulsive decision and now he was going to some random town, looking for some vague information to build his extended life around.
Wrath looked up, he could now see the tops of buildings on the horizon, along with them, the setting sun. Having spent little time talking to humans or even being around them, he didn't know if his chances of hearing any rumors would be better during the day or at night, but it looked as if he would get the night shift first. The dark haired child walked through the gates, his organic foot met by a stone floor, instead of the semi-grassy one he had been walking on, his metal foot, as usual, just clanked along unfazed by the change in terrain.
A/N: Ok, now to me, it would seem this has all sort of been just a general adventure, but, this city will be Wrath's "base camp" for a while, so the journey part will be replaced by more meaningful stuff and more Wrath style happenings. So a short chapter just to ease into that transition.
