The Hooded Alchemist (A FMA fan-fic)

Chapter 8 The Book Hoarder and Alchemy

Whoo chapter 8 already. Sheska the book hoarder finally gets and appearance.

We walked in squeezing between the walls of books.

" Hey guys. I found a person." Said Al.

" Really!" I said and rushed over to see Al unburying someone. " Come one guys we'll need your help!" I shouted then started helping Al. The other came over and started helping too.

" I am so sorry." Said the woman we had unburyed.

" No it was no problem." I said.

" You worked at the library correct?" Asked Ed.

" Yes! Ah all the beautiful books" The woman said. I started zoning out. Books weren't my favorite things in the world.

" Was there a book by Tim Marcoh?" Ed asked.

" Hmm... Tim Marcoh... Yes!" She said.

I got up amd walked away. Maybe one of these books would be more intersting than this conversation.

I looked at all the titles. I stood in awe for a secound. There were so many books. It also scared me a little. If anything caused the wrong book to move I could end up like that woman. I continued looking at all the books.

" Hey Skye we're going!" Ed yelled.

" Okay!" I yelled back and ran over to them.

" Sheska is going to copy the notes for us." Ed explained to me." So you want to do anything while we wait?"

" Can you teach me alchemy?" I asked. I had watched Ed do a bit of Alchemy I wanted to be able to do that too.

" Okay." He said and we walked away.

---------------------------------------------------------

I sat in the dirt drawing transmutation circles. I didn't need them but Ed said I should know how to draw them. I finished drawing probably the twentyth circle.

" Can you teach me something now?" I asked.

" Okay I guess it's about time." He said and then shoved the last piece of the bread he had been eating into his mouth.

" Okay so when you have a circle you clap your hands against it and imagine what you want to make." He explained.

I nodded then put my hands on the circle and imagined a small dirt rose. A large blue light flashed then there in the circle was a rose. It wasn't exactly how I had imagined but hey it was my first time. I looked at Ed. He was talking to Al.  I growled then clapped my hands and hit the dirt and made a dirt sword. I made sure it was stron but weak enough that it would only break after hitting Ed's head without hurting him.

I ran over to him and hit him.

" Hey what was that for!?"He said suprised now that he was covered in dirt.

" I should probably teach you One is all and all is one...before I kill you!" He yelled.

"Okay teach me!" I said excitedly.

He told me to follow him and I did. He took me back to my circles. " One means you and All means the universe. If you die the sun will rise and set like nothing happened. You are just one small piece of it." He explained. " I would send you to the island but Winry would probably kill me and we just don't have the time." He said with a sigh.

" I get it." I said. I had realized he was right. If I die earth will move on.

" Okay let's get back to training." He said.

The next few days were filled with me shoving as much information as I could in my head. Then Sheska had finished copying down the notes and Ed and Al were busy again.
Whoo two again in one day. I really have nothing better to do XD
