I am Weakness

The Other Elric Brothers Part 2

From outside the door we started to hear this banging with them calling out for ‘Edward Elric’ and checking for his safety. Of course they heard us. These damn people always have to find a way to interfere! “Yeah everything is okay!” Russell called out before sighing. “Damnit, I told them not to bother me!”

“Maybe they don’t trust you.” Ed stated with a sly grin smeared on his face. Is this really the time for this!? “I can see why because, you know, lying about who you are.”

I groaned and glared at him with annoyance practically sowen onto my face. “Is this really the time for that Ed!?” I hissed. 

Suddenly I heard movements towards the door that was shortly followed by the noises of scribbling. I blinked and looked over to the source of the sound. For it had been Fletcher drawing a transmutation circle I have never seen before then we saw a huge tree trunk take it’s place in front of the door. “Run for it! Hurry!” He called out. “If you guys are caught we’ll all be in trouble so hurry! I promise I’ll explain everything later!”

The brothers, Yuki, and I looked over to each other and seemed to think the same thoughts. My jaw was gritted hard and I then looked over to the closest window. In the corner of my eye Yuki was looking at the same thing I was and then spoke. “Let’s go.” She replied now running to the window and jumping into it so it shattered in contact. Then I followed her out the window with Ed and Al doing the same as well. After climbing up that wall we ran from that mansion and didn’t even look back.

Human kind cannot gain without first giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we thought that was the world's one and only truth.

-Alphonse Elric-

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

"Now the old king dead. Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key.

Next the walls were closed on me.

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon Pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

You jumped out a window? Like in those adventure books I read all the time? Please tell what it was like, please Pene!!!
