Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Guardian ❯ Part the First ( Chapter 1 )

Guardian

 

 

 

Summary: The Elric line have long been the physical Guardians of the Gate. Hoenheim fled his duty however, and now his eldest son has only ten years left before he must take the position his father abandoned.

 

 

 

“I can't be the Guardian yet. I'm not my father. I'll do my duty, but I need time first. Al deserves a life of his own. If I can't make things right by my twenty-first birthday, you'll fix it, and I'll take over as Guardian. If I can restore Al's body before then, then I'm yours a month later. Will you accept this bargain?” Ed trembled mentally as he faced down the Gate of Truth, but knew he had no other choice.

 

THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO US. HOW WILL YOU SIGN THIS BARGAIN, GUARDIAN?

 

“ With my blood. I, Edward Elric, do swear on my blood to honor this bargain. In no more then ten years, I will accept the position of Guardian, and all the duties therein, in exchange for the restoration of my brother's body if at that time I have been unable to do so myself.”

 

SO IT HAS BEEN SPOKEN; SO IT WILL BE DONE. GO, EDWARD ELRIC, AND DO AS YOU WILL UNTIL YOU ARE OURS.

 

There was a sudden rush of pain and heady power, before Ed found himself back in his basement, the metal armor bearing his beloved little brother's soul beside him.
