Element Alchemy-Chapter 2

 

“Happy 6th Birthday Al!” Everyone said with smiles. “Hey Al come here a sec.” said Elina. They both went outside. Elina drew a strange looking circle on the ground, she touched it and the ground under her hands began to glow blue and morph. She lifted her hands and the ground lifted upwards also. The ground formed into a statue of all four of them. (ed, al, elina, and winry) “[she giggled] Happy Birthday Al.” “You…you can do alchemy too?” “huh?...well yeah…my dad specializes in element alchemy so he taught me some.” “Really element alchemy?...that is so cool!...what else can you do?” “umm…well not much…but I can do basic alchemy too.” “wow this is so awesome….we have to tell Ed!” Alphonse ran inside. “Ed! Ed!...come here!” Edward came running down the stairs. “What Al?! What happened?!” “Brother, Elina can do element alchemisy!!!” he looked at Elina. “Really?” “Yeah my dad specializes in it so he kind of taught me a little.” She said. “Can you do basic alchemy?” “of course!” Then, for a second, Elina was perplexed. “Hey, how do ya'll know alchemy?” They didn't know how to answer. “uh..well…you see.” Al started. “Our father was an alchemist…he left behind his old books so we learned from them.” Ed finished. “Oh…well that explains it.” They paused for a moment. The silence was now becoming awkward. “Hey can you guys make paper cranes?” asked Elina. “of course we can…[said ed] …we aren't some two bit alchemist!” “no no no…I mean without alchemy.” Ed and Al looked at each other and said in unison “No.” Elina smiled and led them to her house.

“Ok …fold here…here..and then tuck these in…bend this..and Vwala!” Elina held up her perfectly folded crane. Ed and Al staired at theirs square sheets of paper. “umm..could you do it again?” asked Al. Before Elina could answer, “Whats the point…we can just make one with alchemy!” Ed said as he drew a transmutation circle on another piece of paper, laid his piece on top and… “Ha!...see mine looks just like yours!” Ed held up his newly transmuted crane. Elina's face was not as happy as usual. “Edward my father taught me not to always use alchemy to do something if I could do it with my own two hands!” Elina's eyes started to water. Ed had looked away while she was talking and didn't even notice that she was beginning to cry. Elina got up and walked outside. When Ed heard the door slam he looked up, only to see his brother giving him `the look'. “brother, that was very mean..she was trying to teach us something fun…and you didn't even care.” Edward let out a sigh. He got up and followed Elina outside. When he got outside, Elina was no where to be found. He looked around until he saw her sitting on the hill that he and Al would usually go to sit and talk. Although she didn't know this it was quite a coincidence. He walked up the hill. Elina paid him no mind. Ed felt a little uncomfortable that she hadn't even turned around to fight with him. “Eli I'm Sor--“ before he could finish Elina pulled him down to the river just at the base of the hill. “wann see something cool?” Ed shook his head. Eli pulled out a piece of paper with a transmutation circle on it. She placed in the shallowest part of the water enough for the circle to be completely covered in water. She activated the circle and the water began to ripple. She lifted her hand with a tail of water following. Ed watched onward as Elina demonstrated that the water moved wherever her hand moved. She made a motion with her hand and the next thing Ed knew, he was soaked. Elina smiled. “that's what you get.”
