It was about dusk when I decided to find a place to settle for the night. There were no lodgings near me, so I decided to make myself comfortable under a hollow tree.

I was just about to sit down when I heard a rustle in the bushes, immediately I was on hight alert, that was too loud to be a rabbit or small woodland creature, it was either a person or a predator.

"Hands in the air boy." I heard a rough voice say.

Boy?! Oh well, I did kinda look like one, it may come in handy, I think I'll keep my actual identity secret, girls didn't always have very good fates here. My voice didn't sound too feminine so I didn't need to lower it.
I slowly raised my hands in the air.

"What do you want, I've got nothing of use to you, no money, nothing valuable." I said calmly.

"Well, in that case, I think I'll just kill you, can't have you finding out who I am not can we?" He growled.

I scoffed and dropped my bags.

"Maybe you will find something of
interest in there after all." I said, sounding afraid, but not in the least. This was just a way to get him closer to me. For some reason, my brain made all these survival decisions, like I had been doing them my whole life, like I was a pro! This could come in handy. I thought to myself.

Finally I heard his steps reach me and heard him bend down and start to search through my bags.
''Nothin in here, nothin in neither of em! Liar!" He snarled. I gave a dark chuckle.

"I said you might, not my fault you wanted to search them." I said in a uninterested voice.

"Why you little- oof!"

I spun around and kicked the gun out of his hand, kicking him in the face as well, caught the gun and pointed it at his face, all in under a few seconds.
He whimpered in fear.

"Pathetic. I actually thought you were a worthwhile opponent. Who are you? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you."

I didn't think I would kill him, I just wasn't that kind of person, but he didn't know that.

"Whoever you are boy, please don't hurt me! My name is Horoka, I'm just a guy running from the law! Please spare me!"

"What a wimp, alright, I'll let you go. now get out!"I snapped

"Yes sir!" He said and scampered away.

"Hmmph."

I sat down against the tree and closed my eyes.

After about an hour of sitting like that, I found that I couldn't sleep, I wasn't even tired, even though I had walked all day. Hmm.

Well, if I couldn't sleep, i wouldn't bother trying.

I got out a small loom and some different colors of thread. I had found out earlier that day that I had an extraordinary taken for weaving, during the day, I had made one tapestry of the sky, so lifelike that the clouds seemed to be moving, and three beautiful weavings from my belt loop loom. I also had a photographic memory. I decided to weave the night sky, it was very beautiful tonight.
About two hours later I had the night sky reflected on my tapestry, an exact replica of the sky above.

I put my weaving in my bag and climbed up in a tree. I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds around me.
I heard voices, one was a woman's, and one was a man's.

"Lust, I'm so hungry! When can we eat?"

"Soon Gluttony, I'm sure we'll find a traveler you can eat someplace soon. Just please be quiet, I need to think."

"Ok Lust."

Eat a traveler?!?! What the-?!

"Ah!" I gasped as I fell from my tree. Crud! Now they were gonna find me!
I pulled out my dagger, maybe I stood a chance.

I got into a fighting stance and faced their direction.

"Look Lust! There is one now! Just a boy, but he'll tide me over until the next town!" The man said. He was short and squat, with very long arms.
A woman with long black hair came from behind him. She has a dress that exposed waaay too much in my opinion. Then I noticed something, on her chest, there was a tattoo that was exactly like mine. Maybe she knew something about it. Maybe, if we had the same tattoo, she wouldn't kill me.
"If you're gonna eat me, can I ask at least some questions? It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone of I'm dead." I said to the pair.

"Oh I don't see how it could hurt, what is it you have to ask?" The woman replied.

"What is that tattoo for?"
"This is the mark of a homunculus, a man made human, we were created by a man that we call Father.

So, I didn't have a family? I didn't just have amnesia, I have been aware for my whole being? No!

Tears brimmed in my eyes but I quickly blinked them back.

"What would you do, if you found someone with that same mark wandering around?"

"We know everyone with that mark. They are all created by Father so we always know. Why? Did you spot anyone? He have been looking for someone called Greed."

"I guess you could say that."
"Where?" She demanded.

"I'll give you a hint, you're looking right at them." I smirked. Now I wouldn't die.

"Liar! Where is it?! You just don't wanna get eaten!" She snapped

"Do you want proof?" I asked.

Without waiting for her answer, I took off my hat, pulled my headband so it kept my bangs out of my face and exposed the tattoo at the same time.
Her eyes widened.

"Come with us. Now."

"Like I've got anything else to do."
I pulled my headband back down and put my hat back on and followed them.

So I'm a homunculus, that's not something you think about everyday.
