Chapter 4: new world, new rules
(Jason's P.O.V)
I woke up, feeling nothing but pain. I tried moving myself, but someone stopped me.
"sir, please don't move, take your rest." a child's voice said. I slowly opened my eyes, I was in a house I haven't seen ever, and a human girl was next to me. She had bright blond hair.
"wh-what happened?" I said.
"you were brought here by your friend. Somehow, you lost your right arm and your left leg."
"where is she, where am I?"
"you are in Resembool."
"another dimension yet again." I thought.
"can you help me sit more comfortable?" I asked. She did.
"what happened that you lost your limbs?"
"I don't really remember what happened myself either, maybe Elody has seen something."
"yeah, about her, she was taken by the military not to long ago." I started to think. I had to go after her, but without my limbs, I'm unable to move on my own.
"if you want to go after her, we can help you, but not for free." an older woman said as she walked in.
"I'm afraid I don't have money of your currency."
"that's quite alright, you can work for it, after we give you the automail."
"what is automail?"
"what! Did you never hear of automail? The sound of metal working in perfect unison with the mind..." the little girl said.
"I get it, it's like a prosthetic leg and arm, but better." I said.
"like a prosthetic arm and leg! That's a giant insult to the beauty of..."
"I GET IT!" I said, slightly annoyed. The older woman chuckled.
A few months had passed, the older woman, called Pinako, and the kid, Winry, built me my very own automail. The process of building them took time, and attaching them brought me a great deal of pain. I was currently rehabilitating, when a family who lived close by came to visit. The family consisted of a woman with long chestnut brown hair (Trisha), a man with glasses and blond hair (Hohenheim), and their two sons, both with blond hair, Edward (the older brother) and Alphonse. The father, Hohenheim, taught me about alchemy, because apparently I had a gift of some kind. In the months passing, Hohenheim left, asking me to look after his boys and Trisha.
3 years later.
Trisha had died, and the boys tried to revive her using alchemy, with terrible results, Alphonse lost his body. Edward lost his left leg, and while he pulled Al's soul into a piece of armor, lost his right arm. Ed was given automail, so he could at least move around on his own.
After a while, I left Resembool, in search of Elody. I took a train towards central, in the hope of finding a lead there.
This is my short chapter 4, really short...
