Bloodlines

"You're Xerxian" mumbled Kiyome as she looked at the man who now stood a t the base of her bed.

"Yes my Lady, my name is Van Hohenhiem, welcome to Xing."

OoO

-Present Day-

The energy within the room was heavy and almost suffocating the occupants within it, they where trying to make sense of the information that had been presented to them, but it just seemed so unbelievable to be true.

Hohenhiem sat opposite Al, with his gazed lowered to the floor as if he was waiting for someone to speak.

Alphonse was just staring into space, his mind was racing a million miles an hour but nothing seemed to make sense to him, nothing about Father, Matanabe or how Ed and himself where created, none of it made sense.

"Alphonse?"

"Alphonse are you okay?"

His mind was racing so fast trying to make sense of it all that he didn't register someone calling his name.

"Alphonse snap out of it!" begged Mai who was shaking his shoulders.

"Huh?" he blinked rapidly trying to refocus his train of thought back into the room with everyone else.

"I'm all right Mai" Al reassured the worried girl who was seated next him with a soft smile.

"Matanabe was sealed three hundred and fifty years ago" everyone turned and looked towards Izumi who had voiced her thoughts

"That is correct Ms Curtis" Hohenhiem looked directly into her eyes.

"Then how are Ed and Al connected? You said you created them so how are they connected to Matanabe?" it was as if Izumi had read everyone's thoughts and voiced it for them.

"Yes, you said that both the boys where created so how does this work?" Mustang said stepping forward to stand in the centre of the room, looking down at the older man who was seated next to Al.

Everyone waited for Hohenhiem's response.

"Mum" Al lifted his gaze to Mustang and then over to Izumi

Hohenhiem took off his glasses and started to wipe them to remove some dust from the glass, slowly he replaced them on his nose and pushed them into place, his golden eyes stared at Mustang,

'That stare is just like Ed's it's as if he's looking for the answer within my very soul' thought Mustang.

"What do you mean Al?" questioned Hawkeye from where she stationed by the door.

Al looked over at his Father who lowered his gaze to the floor, clasping his hands together as if he was trying to think of an appropriate response for her question.

While Hohenhiem sat there in silence, Al spoke again.

"Think about it, Brother and I well mainly Brother is half homunculi, half human correct?" everyone in the room nodded, except for Hohenhiem who stared at his youngest son out of the corner of his eye.

"Yes we know that already Al" Mustang sighed

"What is your point?" he asked the young Elric, looking directly into those soft golden eyes of his.

"My point is, we're half and half " everyone stared at Alphonse as if he had lost his mind

"Half homunculi and half human" Alphonse turned his head to look at his Father once again before continuing

"Our Father hasn't been human for four hundred years" Al stated looking back at the occupants of the room.

Mustang and Izumi shared a look of shock and understanding, they understood what Al was getting at

"So then the human part is…" Mustang couldn't bring himself to say it, it didn't seem possible, this whole situation didn't seem possible to the Colonel, but he had to know the truth about the two brothers and how all of this came to be.

"Trisha gave some of her blood so I could transmute Edward and Alphonse" stated Hohenhiem, who was now looking up at the ceiling as if he was searching for an answer that was written on it.

"But how Ed and Al are connected to Matanabe?" Hawkeye asked looking at Hohenhiem as he surveyed the ceiling for who knows what.

"She's a descendent," muttered Izumi who was now looking between Al and his Father.

Hohenhiem looked back at her and nodded slowly before he spoke

"She was the tenth generation to carry the Yamagar clan's bloodline, Lady Kiyome had begged me to watch over her bloodline while it resided within Xing" Hohenhiem sighed and looked back at everyone before continuing.

"But unfortunately around 1750 war broke out within Xing,"

"What was the war about?" asked Alphonse curiously

"The Emperor ordered an eradication of Lady Kiyome Yamagar's bloodline" as Hohenhiem said this a icy chill enveloped the room, it was like being inside a freezer.
"But why!" asked a stunned Mustang

"What would you do Colonel, if you knew of a Clan within your country that held the blood and soul of a demon that could possibly awaken at anytime and destroy everything in it's path?" questioned Hohenhiem

Mustang hands curled into fists as he stood there looking at Hohenhiem

"I would never order such a thing!" snapped Mustang

"Colonel please calm down" Hawkeye who now stood behind the Colonel placed a hand on his shoulder

Mustang let out a frustrated sigh

"Sorry Lieutenant, please continue, Hohenhiem."

"Very well" Hohenhiem coughed to clear his throat before continuing

"Only two families escaped from Xing and fled to a small settlement just outside Ishval, Unfortunately I could not follow and I lost track of the Yamagar bloodline, it wasn't until 1880 when I was travelling through a small town in the East doing research that I met Pinako Rockbell and soon after meeting her I met a very young child with beautiful brown hair and a face that was all to familiar." Hohenhiem paused for a second to take a deep breath, not noticing everyone was either sitting or standing on the edge of his every word waiting for the final conclusion to his epic tale.

"It was like meeting Lady Kiyome all over again, her voice, hair and eyes were exactly the same as her ancestor and I knew that I had re-found the Yamagar bloodline, I watched over her for as long as I could but this time something changed I started to grow attach to her and a few years later we were married"

Hohenhiem brought up his hand and rubbed his tired eyes underneath his glasses

"Then you tried Human Transmutation?" asked Izumi who was now looking at Alphonse with sorrowful eyes

"After the first failed attempt, Trisha offered some of her blood to help, unfortunately I was not expecting Al to become Edward other half"

Al looked at his Father in shock.

"Other half?!"

"Yes" stated Hohenhiem

"Truth placed one half of Matanabe within Edward and the other half within you Alphonse."

OoO

Alphonse's blood ran cold

"But I gave my homunculus side to truth!" he blurted out

"Father tried to awaken it why?" he asked glancing from his Father to Mustang to his Teacher and back to his Father.

"It's to amplify your alchemic power and open a portal big enough to let Matanabe through into our dimension" Hohenhiem calmly told his son

"So all we have to do is keep this 'Father' as far away from Alphonse as possible correct?" asked Mustang

"In a word yes" said Hohenhiem

"But how can we keep them away from Alphonse they have Edward?" asked May who until now has just watched and comforted Alphonse with her hand on his shoulder.

"That's a good question… May isn't it?" asked Izumi looking at the young Xingese girl

"Yes miss" May nodded at Izumi

"My question is why? Why bring a demon from another dimension into this one" Alphonse asked out loud, weaving his fingers together in front of his mouth and resting his elbows on his knees, this action remind Hawkeye of Mustang it's what he would do when he was thinking.

"At the moment they haven't tried anything" stated Hawkeye

"Maybe they're waiting" muttered Alphonse

"Waiting? But waiting for what?" asked Mustang who was now pacing back and forth.

"Damn it Fullmetal where are you!"

OoO

Meanwhile underneath South City, in a giant dome chamber sat Father in a stone throne like the one he has in Central but the difference was that this time he had a young blonde asleep next to him, his head resting on Father's left lower thigh, slowly he stroke the boys long blonde hair as if he was a pet.

Slowly from the darkness Wrath emerged in his Furher uniform, Father watched him as he stepped closer.

"The last crest will soon be carved in the North, your plans are almost complete Father" Wrath said as he came to a stop just in front of the first step that lead up to the throne.

"Very good Wrath, now let us just hope that Envy does not fail me" Father looked down at the blonde who was still asleep

"It's a shame that your other half isn't cooperating like you are my dear son" Father looked back up at Wrath

"You seem concerned Wrath?" he asked the homunculus as he continued to stroke Pride's hair

"I'm concerned about Colonel Mustang and his men it appears that Van Hohenhiem has contacted them and informed them about Matanabe"

"Hmm, I guess it's about time Hohenhiem met his newly born son"

Golden eyes flickered open

"Hohenhiem?" Pride questioned looking up at Father

"Sorry my child did I wake you" Pride shook his head side to side

"Wrath, go to Central and keep an eye on Mustang and his team also tell Envy to report back to me with Alphonse Elric"

"Yes, Father" Wrath disappeared back into the darkness

"When will we be heading to Central?" asked Pride as he continued to look up at Father

"Before the solar eclipse, now sleep you need all the rest you can until then" Father placed his hand on Pride's head and sent a soft charge of alchemic power into his brain

'Stop! Please Al please save me from this hell!'

this rendered the young homunculus unconscious.

'Well Van Hohenhiem, when will you come and knock upon my flask?'
