And finally the first Chapter are done along with the second chapter, the second chapter will be uploaded soon when I have started on the third one. Hope you enjoy.

Three people was sitting beside each other at a cafe/bar in a city in the desert, two boys and a girl. The girl has hip long white hair that was tied in a loose braid and deep tanned skin with deep red eyes that were covered by dark tilted glasses, she was wearing a tight gray sleeveless crop top and thigh long black shorts, a red and beige sash was draped over her shoulder and stopped at her mid-thigh. A second darker beige sash was tied around her hips, holding the other sash in place and a gold necklace with a small silver locket resting on top of her collarbone. A large dark brown traveling bag was resting besides her feet, one of the boys was wearing a big and large armor. The helmet that comprises the face is adorned with a large, horn in the middle of the forehead, has a pair of parallel, vents beneath each half-moon eye hole and a fang just above the chin. The top of the helmet sports a ribbon of white hair that hangs down to the small of the suit's back. The trunk of the body also consists of a removable breastplate with a triangular shelf on the chest below the throat, a high collar that extends out of the back and surrounds the rear and sides of the neck, and a large, circular leather patch on either side of the abdomen. And a cloth rested on the hips, with a pouch wrapped around one of the thighs while the other boy has golden blonde hair in a braid and his bangs was parted in the middle, framing his face and on top of his head, in the center of the parting, was a single strand of hair sticking up in the air. The boy's eyes are a golden color, he had a red long sleeve hooded cloak that ends at his upper calves, on the middle of his back are a black cross with a snake around the cross with a pair of wings and a crown over the top of the cross. Underneath the cloak, are a black sleeveless black shirt with a black jacket that has silver lining along the edges. He also had a wide brown leather belt, keeping his black leather pants up with black leather boots and white gloves on his hands.

The blonde boy had a plate with food in front of him while the white-haired girl had a cup, filled with water, she was holding the cup between her hands as she took a sip.

" Children of the God who live on this Earth, have faith and thou shalt be saved. The God of the sun, Leto, enlightens thy path, Behold, having descended from his throne, the lord shall save thee from thy sins. As a messenger of the sun god, I am your father." A voice through the radio, spoke.

"... A radio broadcast of a sermon?" Alphonse asked his older brother and friend, Edward put his fork into his mouth as he spoke. "A messenger of God? What's that?" the girl sighed softly

before drinking the rest of the water.

"I think I ought to be the one saying, 'what's that' about you." The elderly owner of the bar/cafe told the trio, Ed spit through his straw, causing water to spill over the edges of the cup as he started at the man in disbelief while the white-haired girl snorted before she stood up on the bar chair before turning to the Elric brothers with a soft smile. Ed gave her a small and soft smile as he nodded, she beamed at him before she grabbed onto one of the pipes and pulled herself up and placed her right feet right to on the edge of the roof before started to run towards the edge of the cafe/bar before jumping over to another building, wanting to explore the village.

Soon she came to an edge of a tall building, she beamed at the beautiful village as she took her glasses off. The scenery was beautiful, the buildings stood tall while the blight sun was high in the clear and light blue sky. It brought her back to a time where she lived in a village like this, the sands around this town along with the clear sky and the heat reminded her of her village. Her smile disappeared and the pain, hurt and longing was clear in the depths of her scarlet colored eyes. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the pain and longing back to the farest depth of her mind. Before her deep red eyes turned to the Cathedral with narrowed brows and a thin line of her lips, something didn't feel right to her but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She turned her back on the tall building, wanting to find Ed and Al. She placed the glasses back on her nose, covering her red eyes. Serah let out a deep sigh as she clenched her fists tightly, still hating that she have to cover the color of her eyes. The dark red color of her eyes, are clearly sigh of what her heritage are. She don't care about what others think about her and her heritage, but at the same time she have to be careful as most of her people are disliked or hated by the people of Amestris because of the war. She is proud of her heritage and where she come from, but because of those she surrounds herself with and being apart of the Amestris military. She just can't go podcasting and showing the color of her eyes.

She gazed over her shoulder, seeing them walking in the open space in front of the Cathedral. She ran to the edge and jumped down from the roof, landing in a roll before she stood up in a graceful motion. Before she lifted her arms as she came closer to the Eric brothers. with a laugh, she launched towards the older brother, wrapping her arms and legs around Ed's neck and waist. He dropped his suitcase and her traveling bag before placing his hands on her thighs, Al stood next to the pair. His red eyes glowed a bit brighter as he watched his brother and Serah bickering with each other. Ed sighed a moment later, before he started to walk closer to the Cathedral.

Al bent down and picked up the suitcase and bag. It must have been a strange sight to the

bystanders, a blonde boy no older than 16 with a white-haired girl around the same age on his back and a metal suit armor walking towards the Cathedral. Serah tensed, looking up at the building. Ed felt her tighten her arms around his neck a bit, before she trapped his shoulder twice with her finger. He let go of her thighs, as she removed her arms from around his neck. The trio walked inside the building together, bystanders smiled seeing the blond boy and the white-haired girl's pinkies holding the other. Inside the Cathedral, they walked up to the front seats and sat down. Serah leaned against Ed's shoulder, staring at the statue of the Sun God Leto. The young state alchemist tugged her closer with an arm over Serah's shoulder, Al sat nearby the pair, Serah turned towards to the side entrance with narrowing eyes and a neutral expression, sensing something on the other side. Ed moved his arm down and brushed his fingers against her spine while the girl pushed the glasses higher up on her nose.

The oldest Eric stood up with a small smile while Serah moved from her seat to sit on top of the backrest of the bench, watching Ed standing with Al on his other side when a young two-toned

haired girl around sixteen years old. Her expression showed surprise and wonder, Serah glazed at the girl from the corner of her eye.

"Oh? Didn't I meet you two earlier…?" she stated softly, walking closer to the traveling trio.

"Do you want to learn about Letoism?" Rose's eyes stayed on Serah who were staring at the older Elric for a moment before she turned to Ed with a smile.

"Sorry, but I am an atheist."

"That's not good! By believing in God, you'll with daily gratitude and hope… isn't that

wonderful!?" Rose had closed her eyes and held a hand on top of her chest, Serah huffed as she crossed her arms. The dark-skinned girl glared at Rose while Ed moved closer to the Ishvalen girl.

"What were God when my people were slaughtered?" the Ishvalen girl asked under her breath, Ed looked at the white-haired girl from the corner of his eyes. Rose looked at Serah with a frown, not really having heard the Ishvalen girl's words before turning back to Ed.

"If you have faith, you'll definitely get bigger!" A vein popped on Ed's forehead as he took a step towards Rose, Serah grabbed his hand and locked her fingers with his while she pulled the State

Alchemist to her. The small and gentle action by Serah caused Ed to relax and allow her to calm him. Ed let out a small sigh before he glazed at the two-tone haired girl a few feet away, giving Serah's hand a squeeze.

"Pray to God and the dead will come back…Huh?" Ed sat down on a bench again, Al stood nearby, watching in silence. Serah let go of his hand and moved to rest her hand on his shoulder as he rested his left arm behind the back rest of the bench.

"Jeez, how can you believe in something like that?" He asked Rose who closed her eyes and

answered his question with no hesitation.

"Yes. Without a doubt!" Serah huffed quietly, Ed pressing his fingers firmly against her back. while Ed pulled out a small notebook as he leaned his head back.

"35 liters of water, 25 kilograms of carbon, 4 liters of ammonia, 1,5 kilograms of lime, 800 grams of phosphorus, 250 grams of salt, 100 grams of saltpeter, 80 grams of sulfur, 7,5 grams of fluorine, 5 grams of iron, 3 grams of silicon, and a little bit of 15 other elements. These would be the calculated components that make up the body of a single adult." Serah glazed at Al from the corner of her eyes behind her shades, silently offering her support to the Elric brothers. Al tightened his fists as he stared at the ground, Rose stared at the trio with a frown and confusion. They are weird and confusing her, they act older than what she think they are. The dark-skinned girl is clearly not their sister, not only based on her appearance but also with the way, she is acting with the short blond boy. It's like they are a couple but at the same time not, they seek comfort from each other and in the time, she has watched the pair. They are never more than a feet or so apart from each other, while the boy in the armor is always besides them or behind them. Well it really don't matter, they are weird.

"We already know that much modern science, but the reality is that no successful human transmutation has been reported. There's not enough of something… for hundreds of years, scientists have been researching and researching, but they still haven't been able to grasp it. So, you could say it's a wasted effort, but I think it's a lot more useful than just praying and waiting." The notebook slammed shut in Ed's hand as he leaned forward and rested his elbows on top of his knees.

"Did you know that you could buy the ingredients for a human in a market easy. And with little money." Serah spoke as she turned her gaze to Rose, who turned to the white-haired girl.

"A person isn't a thing! You're being disrespectful to the Creator! You'll get the Wreath of Heaven!" A laugh left Ed's lips as he placed the notebook inside his coat, Serah glazed at Rose with narrowed eyes. The white-haired girl clenched her free hand into a fist, Ed sighed before turned Rose's attention to him.

"Alchemists are scientists, so we can't believe in vague things like the 'Creator' and 'God'. We explain the fundamentals of the creation of everything in the world and pursue the truth. It's ironic that as scientists that don't believe in God, we're the ones who are closer to God." Serah remembered the terror and horror she felt though the war of her land, The alchemists that helped the military were just like 'God'. Decided who should die and who would live, they destroyed her home, land and family and yet a member of the same military, saved her. She was the only one under ten of her people that were taken to Central, she tried to find out if there were others but couldn't find any information. A man with the name Maes Hughes took her in, along with his wife and raised her as their own even when they later got a daughter of their own, they let Serah stay with them and gave her what she needed. The comfort of a family as she had lost her own. She knew that her parents and eldest brother were dead as she saw their bodies, but her other brother… she didn't know what happened to him, if he is dead or alive. And maybe one day she will know for certain, Serah can only hope.

"That's arrogant, you think of yourself as God's equal?"

"There is one legend, I was told long ago; there was once a hero who flew too close to the sun. his wings of wax fell apart, and he plummeted to the earth." Serah spoke with closed eyes, her words made Ed and Al close their own eyes.

Sometime later, Al, Ed and Serah were standing outside. The Ishvalen girl was looking around, the air around her and the Elric brothers felt weird somehow. Serah took Ed' hand, needing something to ground her, somehow just being around Ed helped. But she couldn't understand why it did, she have been able to sense things she don't understand for as long as she can remember, Serah don't know how or why she can sense things, others can't. She have been trying to find out why she have this ability, and have been searching for books that holds knowledge of the other countries to see if it are common there but she haven't been able to find books about the countries outside Amestris, which is weird and odd. Ed and Al have tried to help her with her research as she had told them a bit about the ability a couple months ago.

A few minutes later, the trio was standing in the back of the crowd, watching as a bald priest was standing on top of a platform in front of the crowd.

"Founder!" Someone called out in the crowd, Ed was standing on his suitcase while Serah was sitting on Al's shoulder, she pulled her shades down a little to see better. Red energy moved around the bald man's hands before he lifted his hands and show a sunflower between his hands. The priest waved with one hand to the crowd while the other held a crane.

"What do you think…? Ed" Serah asked softly as she let the shades rest on the bridge of her nose, still staring at the priest. Not liking the act the priest are putting on in front of the people, he reeks of arrogance and stubborn pride.

"That transformation reaction is normal alchemy right?" Al placed his hands on his hips while Ed held up a hand to shield his eyes from the sun.

"Yep."

"But the law…" The young alchemist traded off, turning to stare up at Serah with a small smile before noticing Rose near the end of the crowd. The two tone haired girl walked over to the trio, with a smile.

"so the three of you came, how is it? No doubt about it. This is the power of miracles after all, lord Cornelle is the son of the sun God." Serah narrowed her eyes and turned sharply to Rose.

"There don't exist miracles." Rose turned to the Ishvalen girl with a frown, placing her hands on her hips.

"If you don't believe, you will see a miracle. If you start to then I know one day you will see there do exist miracles." Rose beamed at the thought, Serah stared at the girl in disbelief. Wondering how someone could be so naive and innocence, there are no miracles in this world.

"Nope, definitely alchemy. Cornelle is a fake." Ed spoke with a neutral expression, bringing Rose's attention to him, away from Serah. He knew that the Ishvalen girl have a certain view of life, the opposite from normal people like Rose. Serah with what she have been through, losing her land and family. Caused her to have a clearer view on everything, the world isn't just black or white. The action of one does not condemn the actions of others, not a person are the same as the next person.

"But that is against the law." Al turned to his brother, Ed sighed while closing his eyes.

"Hmmm… that's right." The alchemist had an annoyed expression as he grumbled over his younger brother's words. Rose looked confused while Serah jumped down from Al's shoulder and made her way over to Ed.

"Law?" Al turned to the girl while Serah locked her fingers with Ed's.

"From an average person's viewpoint, alchemy is a very handy skill that can make anything without any limit. But the truth is that there are a rule to this, to put it roughly, there's the law of the conservation of the mass and the law of providence. Among us practitioners, there are people who use the elements and the three principles." Rose looked more and more confused with Al's explanation of the law of Alchemy. Al noticed that and tried to explain in simpler words to the girl.

"Um… Ok. It's taking an object with the one element, and changing it into an object containing the same element. An object with the same properties of water can only be transmuted into an object with watery attributes." Ed continued the explanation.

"In short, the basis to Alchemy is exact trade! If you want to make something, you need something of the same equivalent cost."

"But the son of your Sun God, was able to transmute something from thin air and ignored the law. Rose" Serah gazed over to the other girl, who looked angry and frustrated at their words.

"Make some sense! Do you three believe in the power of miracles or not!?"

"Brother, maybe it's…?" Al mumbled to Ed who nodded once.

"Yeah maybe it is." The young alchemist's eyes hardened as he stared at the priest, before turning to Serah for a moment.

"Bingo!" Ed turned back to Rose with a glee filled smile.

"Miss, I'm interested in this religion! I want to talk with this founder, so could you give us some information?" Rose beamed at Ed, grasping her hands together.

"Oh, you've finally become a believer!" Rose happily leaded the way with Al, Ed and Serah following.

"Such a naive and innocence girl…" Serah narrowed her eyes as Ed tightened his grip on her hand, the Ishvalen girl felt the air change around her as they neared the Cathedral. Ed felt the moment when Serah's body tense as she became more aware of their surroundings, Ed looked at her, the Ishvalen caught his eye and gave one nod. The young alchemist smirked, knowing that they were ready if something happened. After all they got a young Ishvalen female warrior with them, sure she got a lot more to learn about combat but so do they. Besides they have been sparing the three of them together, just to get a feel about each other's style and training. Serah have always been eager to learn about fighting as she refused to learn about alchemy as she don't see a point in learning, she rather cares more for combat and the techniques of different fighting styles.
