So yeah I'll just be posting random stories here. |3
---------------------------------------------------------
(A short little story from the POV of my character Decode. This is a what if thing for the more then amazing series Fullmetal Alchemist.)
It would have been so much easier to run. It would have been so much easier to turn my back and turn a blind eye to what was happening, it would of all been so easy. I would of escaped with my life instead of laying here on this hill, watching the moon rise for the last time, and watching as my life flashed before my eyes, every single moment down to the very last detail.
But what would have been the point…? What would’ve been the point of staying in a different dimension for a whole two years for nothing…? What would’ve been the point of training to save this one man’s life for so many days if I just left him to die? Nothing….nothing at all. There would have been no point if I didn’t save him. It would’ve been wasted time, wasted training…and more importantly a wasted friendship. A friendship that helped me recover from a mentor I never got to thank, a friendship that showed me that even in the darkest of times and the saddest of moments you can still laugh and still play around even if it was just for a moment. A friendship that showed me even though you’re shaking because you’re so terrified you can still have thirty seconds of bravery to do something that no one else could. Thirty damn seconds to save someone who means the world to you. The best thirty damn seconds I have ever experienced because I knew I was changing something that shouldn’t even of happened. Something that broke a wife and child…That broke a family apart, that tore down a man who’s best friend was killed by a monster. I suppose I shouldn’t of changed fate, they say doing that is dangerous but I did it anyway. I did it because I felt like I had to, I felt like it was my duty to do so, as a guardian of time, as a guardian of dimensions, and just as a friend…
Even though I never belonged here in Amestris. Even though I knew nothing of equivalent exchange. Even though I wasn’t suppose to ‘tamper’ with these things called fate. I still did it, I still rose up to the challenge…I still ran in and got in the way of a bullet that would of tore through a father’s heart and killed him. I endured a pain that ripped through my whole body as a homunculus stabbed his whole arm through me, and as he expected me to fall limp. As a terrified on looker, who I had never seen so scared before, stared at the carnage and supernatural events before him with wide eyes. As I felt death’s grip tightening on me, as I felt the need to give up, as I felt the surge of anger burst inside of me. As I felt the surge of pure courage and bravery explode into life inside of me as I was dying. As a creature by the name of Envy looked at me with a slight look of fear for once in his life when he realized that I was still alive.
All of it, all of it was a challenge that I had been waiting to endure. The fight, the pain, and even the god awful smell of blood if need be. All of it I had waited for ever since I heard of the name Maes Hughes. Ever since I put in a claim to Elder Doran to change his fate. Ever since I had met him. I had to change his fate, and I had changed his fate in the end. I had driven off this creature, Envy, that was suppose to kill him. I protected him until help arrived even though I was dying as I stood on my own two feet. Even though I could hardly make out the shadows in front of me. Even though I was scared to die. I did something that I never dreamed of doing, even though it cost me my life.
I’m not sure if this is some form of equivalent exchange or not…but I don’t think I care right now…I just keep thinking of the events that just took place seconds ago before I ran…Thinking if my team, and thinking if they will keep their promise of protecting Hughes and the others…I think they will. No…I’m sure they will, and I keep hoping…hoping they never find my body, so they don’t know I died. So…I can come back for a while in the future and visit when everything is said and done. I mean they already saw what I truly was, so yeah I’m sure they won’t assume I’m actually dead when I come back…Yeah…when I come back I’ll visit Hughes and his family, I’ll tell Elicia stories like I always did. I’ll hang out with Roy, Riza, and the rest of the team…Just like old times…Just like old times.
I…I think…it’s time for me…to go now…Please don’t worry about me you guys…I’ll be back eventually…
One day…
So until then stay safe you guys…Stay safe Maes.
