"Finally, I've been waiting. Here's your leg." Porlyusica said as I walked through the door. "I saw you talking to the blond girl. Don't do anything to hurt her you got it?"
I sat and began to attach the leg as I responded. "Don't worry, I didn't come to this world because I wanted a girlfriend."
"Well there's someone here that wants to talk to you. Don't underestimate the old man, he's stronger than you can ever imagine." She said in a hushed and serious tone.
"Okay, where is he?" I ask.
"Outside, he was waiting as you were walking in."
I stood on my now replaced leg and took a few steps forward. I'll make an automail leg once I find a shop with the components. I thought to myself as I go through the door, allowing my eyes to once again adjust to the harsh light.
"So you're the one who came through the gate." Said the small man sitting next to the doorway he wore a white fur lined jacket that was the same height as he was. "My name is Makarov Dreyar. I'm the guild master of the woman who pulled you through the gate. If I may I would like to ask you some questions."
I looked at the man who sat in front of me, wondering what such a small man could accomplish. Then I remembered something from my time in my own world.
"Come on shrimp let's go!" I yelled across the courtyard at the boy on the other end.
"DON'T YOU CALL ME A SHRIMP!" He yelled back. His bright red overcoat blew in the wind behind him. His long blond hair tied back into a ponytail.
"Fuhrer Bradley, is it even fair for me to fight this Shorty? I think that ant next to him would be an easier to hit target!" I taunted as he began running at me. "He couldn't even land a blow on Mustang if he tri-" I couldn't finish my sentence as for a fist sent me flying.
"The name is Edward Elric! You would do well to remember that!"
"go ahead with any questions you have. I will answer to the best of my ability." I tell the short man.
He gave me a look like I had told him I came from space and stood up. "Were going to go back to the guild hall to talk, I wouldn't want anything to come and interrupt us. Follow me."
We walked for about 30min in total silence, until a town appeared through the woods. "Come along now, we have food and drink in the hall." Makarov said after seeing the expression on my face.
"R- Right. Let's go." I said.
Once we reached the hall, the man opened the door and yelled "Prepare some food and drink for this man! Bring it into the infirmary. Otherwise leave us be!" He marched through the crowd and through a door in the back, me hard on his heels.
"Now then," he said "Tell me everything. I already know you're from another world, but I want to know about their powers, how you crossed over, and if there's anyone else coming over."
"Well I should be the only one, since the way I came over is taboo. I did it to save a boy who's soul was trapped in a suit of armor for years." I started. I began to tell him of everything that happened. About the Elric brothers and there story. about the Homunculus and Father. About Hoenheim and the Philosophers stone. Mainly I talked about alchemy. The power and the downside. The feeling of being a god in your own right, but knowing how to respect god.
Then there was a knock at the door. "Master?" said a familiar voice at the door. "I have some food for him."
"Come on in Mira. We were just about to wrap up here anyway." The short man said.
The woman walked in wearing a simple pink dress and a bow in her long white hair. With a smile that looked like it could melt someone's heart with a glance. "Here you go." She said as she sat a plate down in front of me. "Now don't let the master push you to hard. If you need to rest just tell him. Now then you two finish up here." She turned and walked out of the room.
I couldn't breath. Something that couldn't happen had just happened right in front of me. Makarov must have seen it because he asked me "What's the matter with you? Did you remember something else?"
I began to laugh and shake my head, tears welling in my eyes as I looked at him. "I never told you how I lost my leg, I was trying to bring my fiancé back to life." The tears began to flow down my face. "Her name, was Mirajane Strouse.
