YAY! finally finished it.ENJOY!
Episode 2:Hyda
day 2,arriving in Hyda
When they left, they'd played a few games of poker(and if I'm right,Al won 90% of the time)but then it wasn't long before they fell asleep.So, they basically slept most of the way.When they woke up, the train was coming to a stop. They got up,stretched, and quickly grabbed their suitcases('cause the train wasn't gonna wait). Ed and Al got off the train and stopped.It was HUGE!! eek Even with half of it in ruins.(imagine almost every building about half/just as tall as the largest building in Central) Ed:"heh heh,Let's hope the hotel is just as nice. sweatdrop " Al:"yeah" They continued to walk through the streets, searching for the hotel. Unfortunately,all they did was go in circles and get themselves lost. Al:" Let's ask someone for directions." Ed:"We're not asking for the directions.I know where I'm going." Al:"How could you know where you're going if you've never been here before? stare " Al had him there. They asked the nearest resident where to find the hotel. They did as she said and headed to the marketplace. Once there, they followed it to the eastern side of town.Like the rest of Hyda, the hotel was amazing and huge.(tall huge,not wide huge) Really, the only thing going throught their minds then were Will we even be able to afford a room here?. They both walked inside and headed to the front desk. Ed:"Excuse me?" The lady at the front desk turned around and smiled."Yes?How may I help you?" Al:"We need a room for a couple days." Lady:"No problem. Now let's see..that's a room for two for 2 nights...That'll be 12000." Ed&Al:"12000?!?!" Lady:"Yep! Here in Hyda, we don't over charge anything.Here's the key to your room and we hope you enjoy your stay here in Hyda." Ed and Al climbed the stairs to their room,completely confused.
The next morning,they left their stuff there and checked out the marketplace.Stores in the buildings, small shops on the street(more like long tables w/ tarps on poles over them for shade); it was amazing.People did crowd this street inparticular, but there was still plenty of room to move around. Ed and Al walked down the street, stopping now and then to look at some shops. When they came to the end of the street(west side of town), they turned around and headed back towards the hotel.
Here we meet 2 other characters, Sara and Kayla
Kayla layed out more pieces on the table;they certainly were busy today. She'd sold over 109 pieces of jewelry in only 2 hours. Kayla was about to turn around and look through another box,when she noticed someone approaching the table wearing a brown cloak. The hood was up, but she recognized them instantly."Hey Sara. A little hot to be wearing a cloak today, don't you think?" Sara joined her in the shade of the tarp and lowered her hood.She had long, dark brown hair with her bangs highlighted in copper.She was 16, going on 17;tomorrow was her 17th birthday.Her eyes were brown,but had a sort of amber or gold sheen to them.Kayla had to admit, her friend was beautiful,even if Sara herself said otherwise. Probably the only thing about her that really stuck out was her height;for her age,she was quite short.And she knew it.(basically,if you put her right next to Edward,she'd be about the same height,or an inch shorter than him.Oh,and Ed grew about inches in 2yrs and 2months.So he's 5'4",which doesn't change much because he's still short,and obviously he still hates being called short.(Ed in the back:"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!" wink (Me:nothing)) Sara:"So,how's business today?" Kayla:"Booming! I've sold 109,hold on...Thank you,have a nice day!...112 pieces in 2 hrs and(checks watch)...5 minutes!" Sara:"Well keep it up, and maybe your mom will get you that radio you want so badly!" "Or, we could buy you some nice clothes.I'm just curious,but when are you going to get a boyfriend?I've already had 5,and in all the years I've known you,you haven't had one!I mean..." That was basically where Sara tuned out. She stopped listening to look in the street. Something, or more like someone, had caught her eye,and he was right across the street.
Ed and Al continued looking through the shops as they headed back. They'd missed a couple on the way back,and by now Al was interested in finding shops he found interesting.Ed just followed him.Al stopped by one store to look at something on the table that had caught his eye earlier. While Ed waited for him to finish,he decide to just look around(while standin there of course). That's when he saw her. Across the street from him, a girl w/ dark brown hair,copper bangs, and wearing a cloak(hood down) was staring at him. Actually, he wasn't sure who or what exactly she was staring at, but it was in his general direction. She was standing behind the table of one of the shops.The girl next to her was about the same age as her,he guessed,and appeared to be talking to herself.That or the other girl was talking to her and tuned out.(good guess) Ed and Sara didn't know it,but they were the exact same thought at that moment. Ed&Sara:I don't know why,but I can't stop staring at her/him. Al:"Ed...ED...EEED!" "What?!"Ed said,looking at Al. Al:"What were you staring at?" Ed:"Well,this girl was..."he turned to point to her,but she'd disappeared."Huh?"Ed said,confused. Al:"What girl?" Ed:"Hold on..."Ed ran over to the shop,Al right behind him. When they reached it, they first stopped when they saw what the girl's friend was selling.They were very fine,beautiful pieces of jewelry that seemed to be made of polished metal."Hi,I'm Kayla. How can I help you?"she said. Ed:"Um 2 questions:first, what is all this made of?" Al nodded,it seem to confuse him,too."Everything you see here is made of polished and transmuted automail." Al:"Really?I didn't know you could do that with automail!" Ed:"Who made these, exactly? I don't know of any alchemists this talented." Ed picked up an automail necklace and studied it. Kayla:"A friend of mine,actually. She's known as the SilverWolf Alchemist.Ever heard of her?" Ed:"No,I didn't even know she worked for the military!" Al:"She must be new." "She's not. She's been a state alchemist fo about 5yrs now,and she hates the military.She stopped taking assignments 2yrs ago." Ed put the necklace down and Al said,"That's weird. She sounds a lot like you Ed." "Oh!So you're a state alchemist,too?" Kayla asked,looking at Edward. "Yeah.I'm Edward Elric,by the way. Also known as the FullMetal Alchemist. This my little brother Alphonse." Al:"Nice to meet you.So your friend made these using alchemy?" Kayla:"Yeah,she's very talented." Kayla inspected Edward up and down,taking in and memorizing everything she could so she could tell Sara about him later."Are you single?"she asked suddenly."WHA-?!" Ed said,confused. No one had ever really asked him that before."Do you have a girlfriend?"she asked again. Ed:"Uuuuuuhh...no, why?" "No reason." she said going back to the table, smiling an evil smile. Ed and Al stared at her suspiciously. "Oh!umm..who was that girl you were talking to earlier?"Ed asked. Kayla:oh, this couldn't be more perfectshe thought. Kayla:"Why?You want to meet her?" Ed:"Would I be asking otherwise?" stare Kayla:"hee-hee Good point. Just hold on a sec." Kayla sold another 20 pieces before closing up shop for day. She led Ed and Al to her house on the edge of town.She only lived a block away from the hotel they were staying in,making the trip back much easier. "Well, this my stop.If you like, I can take you to her place." Ed:"No we-" Al:"Actually if you don't mind.." Kayla:"No not at all. I'll be right back." Kayla went inside and gave her mother the money. "Ok, let's go." She said when she came back out.
Ed:"She LIVES in a JUNKYARD?!?!" Kayla had led them about half a mile out of town to the junkyard. Kayla:"Yeah.It's where she gets the automail needed to make jewelry." The junkyard fence was made of wood and about 20ft high(barbed wire lining the top).The junkyard itself was about a quarter of an acre in size. The entrance was only 10ft high and the both doors made it 8ft in length. Ed and Al just stared at it. Kayla:"Well,you coming in?" She had already opened the doors and was waiting for them to follow. Ed and Al stopped staring and walked inside. Al:"Why does she live here?Couldn't she take them home with her?" Kayla looked at Al with a sad face and turned away from them. Al:"Brother,did I say something wrong?" Ed:"I'm not sure..." Kayla looked back at them smiling and said,"Well,let's get started!" Ed:"What do you mean?" Kayla closed the doors and explained,"Well, if you want to meet her, we'll have to get through the maze." Ed:"Maze? WHAT MAZE?!" Kayla pointed toward the beginning of the maze. "That maze. Boys,you've just entered the Wolf Labyrinth." Al:"Huh?" Ed:"Why's it called the 'Wolf Labyrinth'?" Suddenly,a wolf howl could be heard from somewhere in the maze,followed by 3 others. Kayla:"That's why."
Sorry if not much is going on right now. Next episode might have a little more action.
