Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. 14-year old Mikaila Peterson was one of the few Alchemist in the world that could bypass that law. It was an alchemy that had been passed down from generation to generation in her family. It was in her very blood. She had learned it from her Aunt, because her parents were dead and could not teach her. But now, now she was on her own, trying to find someone who could protect her from whatever was coming. Her aunt had hinted that something big was coming. Coming for her.
She watched as the soldiers led the distraught blond alchemist away. Edward Elric was his name, if she remembered correctly. The FullMetal Alchemist. He was screaming about his brother, the soul that was attached to the suit of armor. He, Alphonse Elric, had used that Philosopher's Stone that had become apart of him. Used it to bring back his brother, and then his spirit had gone to the Gate. Mikaila waited untill she was sure they were gone, then she heard done to the main area of the giant ballroom. As she was walked towards the center of the room she looked around at the transmutation circles and arrays that Edward Elric had drawn all throughout the room. She studied them for a moment, to see if she needed to change or add anything to them.
Once she was satisfied with how they looked she took a deep breath, she rarely used to her alchemy and was afraid of messing up. But she knew that the Elrics could help her, though she wasn't sure what they were supposed to be helping her with. She rubbed the dirt and sweat off the transmutation circles that were engraved on her palms. The array in the middle of those transmutation circle looked like some weird, goth-type of heart. She took one more deep breath, then clapped her hands together and slammed them down on the large transmutation circle that was at her feet. She gritted her teeth through the bright light that surround her.
She found herself standing in front of a large, black gate. She glanced around and saw nothing but white all around her and the Gate. Then she saw an outline of a person sitting, staring at her, at least she thought he was staring at her. She stared back for a few moments, waiting for him to say something. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to speak first or not.
"A Peterson, eh? One of the few who can bypass the law of Equivalent Exchange. What do you want!" The person snapped, Mikaila bit her lip nervously.
"I want to bring someone back. He should've just passed through here." She said softly.
"Name, Peterson. Give me a name and I'll give you your person." He said, she smiled.
"Alphonse Elric." She said, he growled.
"No." She stared at him in surprise.
"I did the transmutation, I'm using my alchemy, I don't have to pay the price! Give me Alphonse Elric!" She demanded, it was out of character for her to demand things, but she was afraid of what was coming.
"He's done a human transmutation before, I'm keeping him." Was the reply, she shook her head.
"That doesn't matter. I'm bringing him back." She answered, he growled once more and the Gate began to open. Mikaila didn't turn, didn't look. But suddenly she found herself back in the ballroom.
"Wh-where am I?" She turned her head at the voice. Standing beside her was a 15-year old dirty blonde haired boy.
"You don't remember?" She asked him, he turned his steel-colored eyes on her.
"I do. I meant what am I doing back here?" He asked. She could feel her focus slipping, she had used a lot of energy, and was getting sleepy.
"I don't have much time, I'm about to pass out. I brought you back. My name is Mikaila Peterson. I can do-" He cut her off.
"Human transmutation without having to worry about the law of Equivalent Exchange." He said, she nodded, her eyesight was fading.
"Why did you bring me back?" He asked her, curious.
"I need you help." She said, and then she passed out into his arms.
