Book 2 " A soul exchange for a heart" [FMA One Shots]

Argon

September 18, Briggs 

Have I seen you in another lifetime?  I think we might have meet sometime before: Words are not needed in the language of our bonded souls... we can read each others minds. 

In the million timelines this world contains and its endless possibilities, there's something, a constant truth that never failed me... You, my will and my love

After our conversation with the coronel, we took the train to Briggs. It was a long and difficult trip, we actually missed the north people. Mustang had something in mind... and I was trying to figure what it was:

- So, Ed...what do you think Coronel wrote to General Armstrong? And why does he want us to deliver that information?

- I don't know... but I'm certain it was to do with the promise day, since it's classified information. Maybe he thought that it would be saver if we were the ones to deliver it...I guess?

- That makes sense.... Look brother! We have arrived!

When the train stopped by the station we froze to death but not because of the cold. Looking strait at us with a terrifying face was the military officer Buccaneer. Me and Al even tried to hid being the seats but... it was too late

He went on the train, picked us in both of this hands, and while we were screaming, he has laughing and walking us in the fort direction, like we were some kind of merchandise

- YOU BRATS ARE HERE AGAIN!? You really wanna kill yourself HÃ ? Or have you take a like in this cold environment? 

- Any of those reasons...we just came because we were asked t-

- HEI EDWARD! Did you bring your mechanic with y-

- YOU GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF WINRY YOU PERV! She's my personal automail mechanic and she only works for me, all right? 

- You see officer, Ed's totally in love with her, so she's more like his girlfriend...

- THE HECK NO STUP UP ALPHONSE! - Buccaneer and Al couldn't stop laughing even tough it was not funny at all, but still, with all that casual conversation, when I looked up I could already see the top of Briggs Fort. 

Built in the border between Dragma and Amestrias, the Briggs fort had a rough life style but a powerful commander, Olivier Armstrong knows as well as "Ice Queen". Her amazing leadership is undeniable but still... She scares me to the core of my bones 

And so, there she was, drinking her tea so peacefully that almost seemed like everything as all right, and we weren't planing a coup d'etat that could get all of us killed very son 

- So, we meet again Edward Elric... let me guess...that brat Mustang is planing something dirty that those lazy central city butts can't do so he's calling out to us...Am I right?

-Yeah... We got a letter for you... We just came here for that - She looked at me attentively and drunk another sip as she smiled for herself and looked curiously at me

- Is that so Edward Elric? Your face and your speech don't match at all...Please, if you want to lie learn it properly... 

I looked at her and I smiled as well. Somehow I remembered something Winry said to me a long time ago ... I closed my eyes for a second and I could see the green hills of Resembool

 * Don't even try to fool me Edward Elric... Your eyes don't hide anything you try to close in your heart...give it up*

- You're right general! We were missing these man! right Alphonse? Can we drink some tea too?

- You're a strong man, Edward Elric ... You've proven yourself but still...Let yourself rest and for god's sake get your butt out of here and go home...

And so, we left just like that, silently without a word. There was no need for that: We would meet again... we would survive and encounter once more: There's no need to say "Farewell"

Have I lived this before?... I have this strange feeling everything is repeating in from of my eyes and I still don't know the answer nor can I foresee the future. It's painful but... I'm just glad I can see you each single time like it was the very first one... You, my will, my love

Edward Elric, You my constant truth 

Note: Argon is a colorless, odorless gas that is totally inert to other substances. It makes up 0.94% of the Earth's atmosphere and is the third most abundant atmospheric gas and levels have gradually increased since the Earth was formed. Argon is also obtained commercially by the distillation of liquid air.
