Envy - fma 【6】

The Promised Day had arrived. That tense moment when the fate of the entire country would be decided.

Your breathing was ragged. You were running while dodging strange creatures. They weren't chimeras, nor were they human… What were they?

But during one of the attacks, you realized they couldn't die — just like the Homunculi.

"Damn it. I followed like an idiot, got caught up in emotions, and now I'm stuck in some godforsaken place."

— You liar! — you accused Envy, who was now spinning inside a jar that kept flipping up and down.

He had said something about everything he'd told you before being the truth — just hidden deeper in the tunnel.

You were clutching the jar in your hands, trying not to drop it, when suddenly one of those creatures — completely white, eyeless, with a wide mouth — knocked it out of your grip.

A second later, its strong teeth clamped down on the fragile glass. It cracked, and then came the unmistakable sound of shattering glass.

— Damn it… — you hissed, freezing in place.

You watched as that monster, which had just broken the jar, now consumed another. Then it devoured all the remaining creatures, one after another.

You tensed up even more. Everything inside you screamed that something terrible was about to happen.

And it did.

The white skin began to twist unnaturally, the creature's body growing into something else. The massive green creature, having consumed the last of the white ones, began to shrink until it took on a human form.

And that form slowly took on a familiar shape: a handsome young man with pale skin, a defiant gaze of purple eyes, a smirk on his lips, and dark hair.

He stretched, cracking his neck, clearly enjoying the return to his original form. His lips curled into that familiar mocking smile.

— Thanks for the help, pipsqueak, he said, a note of satisfaction in his voice.
