The Mercury Alchemist

Chapter 2 ~ The automail limb and the beginning of the journey

'Everything that I knew... 

everything that I was.... 

I was ripped away from all that... 

but finally being in the place where I can finally be happy, 

but is it even worth it?'

-Me-

\\Dream//

As I was pulled into the gate, my memories and information was forced into my head. "Agh!!! Stop it!!!" I screamed, feeling as if my brain was about to burst. My arm was fully ripped off from me. I was almost going insane at that point. I looked forward to see what's ahead of me and saw the gate coming straight at me. With all my might, I tried my best to get out of the black arms grip and to get away from the gate as it opens, but I was still shuved inside. I landed face forward onto the white floor below. "Did you enjoy the ride?" another familiar voice asks. I got up and turned to see who it was. Again it was Fate, or was it Truth this time? This was confusing. "Are you Truth this time or Fate?" I ask to know who was who now. "I am the Truth," it confirms. I sighed in relief, but this wasn't the time to be relieved; especially if it's the guy who took away Ed's leg and Al's whole body.

"Why was I sent here?"  

"To set things straight, just what Fate had told you."  

"So you Truth are the one who resides on the gate of Amestris while Fate is for the gate of my side."

"Correct!"

"That answers the question," I groaned in fustration. Truth laughed at this making me glare daggers at it. The Truth stopped and look straight at me, I coudn't tell since it has no eyes. "Now it is time," it informs as the gate opens again. This time I didn't want to run, knowing that even if I struggle I'll still be sucked in. "I'll keep this instead of Fate," Truth smiles as it lifts his left arm and starts to form a human arm, my arm actually. As I was pulled inside, I heard Truth warn me, "There is someone there who should've never been born in that world so watch out."

\\End of Dream//

I quickly shot up from where I was lying and gasped for air. I started looking around the room to see it anyone was there. "Was that all a dream...?" I wondered still feel groggy. But then I started noticing how different my place is, until I realized the wasn't my apartment at all. The door started to open and I instantly turned my head to see who it was; it was Winry Rockbell. 'What the heck!? If Winry is here then that must mean-!' but I was interrupted from my thoughts when she came up to me asking, "You feeling okay today?" I quickly responded and nodded 'yes' as she puts down a tray of food infront of me. "I gave you a new pair of clothes since your's was all teared up." Now that I looked at what I was wearing, I wore a long sleeved white buttoned up shirt and pants that hid under the covers. "Well I hope you can eat since...." Winry trails in her sentence, looking at me sadly.

I tilted my head in confusion and asked her, "Is something wrong?" She hesitated but just shook her head and left the room, closing the door shut behind her. I looked around my body to see if anything was wrong until I then saw something missing. I wasn't shocked, except tears had started to escape my eyes. "So it did happen..." I muttered gripping onto the bed covers with my only right arm. I cried silently muttering, "All those people.... are gone..." You know that feeling you get when you feel empty inside, well I got that feeling and it felt like it was eating me away inside. Winry came back just right after I stopped the water works. Grandma Pinako was with her, something told me that the Elric brothers have started on there journey long before I came here. "My name is Winry Rockbell and this is my grandma Pinako and we're automail mechanics," that last part she was really proud about it.
