Alchemy's shadows


I walk along the road to darkness for it is the only road I know. I can see every shape shifting shadow swaying to the low dead call of the night. Known as the "shadow's fantasy" alchemist I walk this road alone. Nothing or no one beside me but darkness to keep me company. A moonless night and small twinkling stars that looked like tiny diamonds was over head. As I walk this lonely path I see a reflection in the stream below me, but the reflection looking back at me isn't mine. I am on my way to a certain place in which I must go to bring someone back. yes I know human transmutation is forbidden but I still must try. I guess for this reason people do not trust me.
This path never seems to end it just keeps leading me into more fights,shadows, and loss. I'm heading to the site in which they are buried. If you care to know this is the story.
Me and a very good friend mine had just started learning alchemy then. Back then I was only four as they were about three and a half. Yeah I know we started learning alchemy very early but our parents were so happy to know we could understand it. In my family I come from a long line of alchemists and black mages. My friend on the other hand was the only one in their family who could use it. We studied with my parents learning everything we could about alchemy. Not to sound self centered or anything but I was always a little better then my friend. It was on our birthday when it happened. We were born on the same day so we always celebrated together. I can remember then pain as if it were yesterday. I had just opened my last present from my friend. It was a silver dragon neckless. The dragon held an emerald. It was my favorite gift I had gotten. I had given them something similar to what I had gotten from them. It was a silver dragon but instead on a emerald it had a ruby, but it wasn't a neckless it was a key chain I had made myself through alchemy. I made it so they could put it on the second part of my gift. It was a sword I had made all by myself with alchemy. Both our gifts had alchemic properties enabling us to bend certain elements to our will. I had the elements fire and darkness on my side. as my friend had ice and dark.

We were testing out our new abilities when a black car drove up. Seven men in black cloaks came out. It was as if they were transmuted from shadows they were so dark and yet you could almost see through them. The tallest of the men walked up to our parents and started to talk to them. Back then I had know idea what was going on. I had just turned five. My parents must have said something the men didn't want them to. The one talking to our parents must have been their leader. He nodded his head and the most creepy smirk I'd ever seen spread across his shadow hidden face. The other six began to destroy everything in sight. Huge waves came from nowhere,the sky became dark and rained small flames down to the untouched ground. They murdered no massacred everyone there. The only ones left were me and my friend. We backed up to what was left of the house as they came closer to us. One reached his blood stained hand out towards us saying its okay don't be afraid we wont hurt you. My eyes widened with fear. As for my friend couldn't stop crying because of the gory things they had witnessed. Then he reached and grabed my friend and pulled him toward them. "Embra!!!!!!!!!" he yelled my name scramming for help as tears of terror rolled down his frighted face. "Kaioku!!! hang on!" I yelled as I ran at them. My neckless glowed as i ran closer. The more mad i got the brighter it became. With all the fire that was around me I made a blast powerful enough to knock them back and drop kaioku. I almost reached him but as I reached out my hand to help him up they used a type of alchemy I had never seen before. The leader put his hands down on the ground and he started to glow so did Kaioku. It was as if kaioku exploded from the inside out. Blood splattered on my face and on other parts of my body. The last thing he said was "Embra don't let them get me!" I was so scared I had no idea what to do. I was so scared I hadn't even noticed my own arm had been blown off when kaioku died.
All I could do was run. I was so afraid I didn't know where I was. all I remember is I was running so fast I broke my leg when I was running through the forest because it got caught in a bear trap. Then it broken off from the knee down. I passed out from all the pain. I'm surprised I lasted as long as I did out there. When I screamed someone must have herd me because I woke up in someones house I'd never been in before.
end of part one........
