Representative of Fate (Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfiction)

Chapter One: A Midget and A Metal Giant

I kept walking, until I realized that there was no solid ground under my feet. I felt the wind rushing past me, and I looked down to see the ground coming to greet me. "Ahhhhh!" I screamed. Just before I hit the ground I heard a boy yelling in a metallic voice, "I wont stop!" I hit the ground with a 'BOOM!' I growled as I sat up and cracked my back, "Ite...That was the worst send off I have gotten ever." I turned and looked at the sky, shaking my fist shouting, "I want full compensation when I get back!" A hand clamped down on my shoulder, I panicked and grabbed the hand, flipping the person over my shoulder as I turned toward the other presence.

I saw a boy with blonde hair and golden eyes, he was short, he only came up to below my chest, and had a black shirt and pants. His coat was red like mine as well as his face. He seemed upset about me flipping the other person over my shoulder. "Whats wrong shorty?" I asked him. That seemed to be the wrong choice of words. "Who're you calling vertically challenged?" I pointed at him with a smile, "Got a problem with that?" I asked him slyly, my violet slitted eyes narrowing mischieviously. He began to charge at me when someone in an intimidating suit of armor held him back. "Excuse me but, why did you fall out of the sky?" He asked. I gaped at him, his voice...it was so squeaky! "Bahahaha! Y-You're voice is-s s-so sq-queak-ky!" I laughed, now rolling around on the sandy ground, getting sand in my snow white short hair.

The armored boy now had an aura of sadness on him, "Squeaky?" He muttered. I got up off of the ground my laughing fit now finished. "Anyway, do you two know where I could find the Elric brothers? I'm supposed to find them for my boss' and they will kill me if I don't find them." The boys looked at eachother and then turned to me, "Why are your boss' looking for us?" They asked. I sulked to the ground, "You gotta be kidding me. I have to guard these two?" I muttered, my white locks now touching the ground from how low my head was bowed in dissapointment.

I looked up to see that they were gone, "Eh?" I flashed ahead. "Don't leave me behind Baka!" I shouted at them as I bonked them on the head. "How did you get here so fast, eh...What's your name?" The metal boy asked. "I, Ed, am Niamere the Representative of Fate, and I flitted toward you. It's one of my many skills." I said proudly. "Um..I'm Alphonse Elric, he is Edward Elric." The metal man said poiting to shorty. "Eh? Shrimpy is the older brother?" I asked him. Ed tried to attack me but Al held him back. "Anyway, let's go to the next town, you guy's look exausted." I said, seeing the sweat on Ed's forehead.

As we reached the edge of town Eddy began to pick up his pace. " Water? Water! Water! Water! Water! Water!" He shouted as he reached a fountain that was pouring wine. We chased after him as he picked up a cup hanging from the side of the fountain and dipped it into the bitter substance. Al came up from behind him as I stood off to the side. "Blood?" Al asked him. "No it's red wine." Ed said sadly. "Hey!" A man said, picking up Ed by his coat, he turned to me, "Kids aren't allowed to drink from this place! Please keep your kid away from the fontain." He told me. My eyebrow twitched. "I'm not his mother...baka." I growled at him, trying to keep my anger from coming out.

"We're travelers." Ed muttered. The man set us up at his shop, Ed was now drinking a fruity drink while Al and I just sat with him. As an immortal I don't need to drink or eat anything nor do I need to sleep. I laid across the counter waiting for something to happen, "Oh, I almost forgot." The man said before turning on a radio letting church music flow through the air before a man began to speak through the radio. " To you children of god who live on this earth...." The voice spoke. I looked arond now seeing statues of an old man wearing a toga and carrying a spear. I sighed, 'Not the sun god...' I whined in my head. 'He's the most pretencious and self absorbed fate....' I thought to myself as I muttered a few curses under my breath.

"Are you guys street performers or something?" The man asked us from behind the counter. I sat up and Ed sputtered, spewing his drink onto the counter. "What gave you that idea?" He asked. "I wouldn't stoop that low." I told him and turned on my stool in a huff. "If your not performers, why did you come here?" The man asked. "We're looking for something." Ed told him softly. I ignored their talk about Cornello because I sensed a presence that was unnatural...artificial. I turned and saw a woman at the corner of the bar, she had her hood up, but she stared straight at me. My violet eyes widened a fraction. 'I'll have too look out for her in the future.' I told myself.
