“Left-hand alchemist your mission will be to un-noticeably follow one of our solders. Your duty is to watch and report anything you see to me. You must not interfere at all! Your are only there to observe!” Mustang ordered.

“But Sir, Why me?”

“Because you can quickly trace imaginary transmutations circle with your finger and perform alchemy wherever you want. It’s perfect just in case something dangerous and unexpected comes up.”

I didn’t make that noise! Did Roy also assign another solider on this mission? Dammit Roy, If you’re going to do that you should tell me.

Oops wrong guess.

I thought as I quickly traced a transmutation circle on the wall with my finger, clapped my hands together and hit them on the wall. A pillar shot out of the ground and hit the shadowy man. I ran over to the solider.

“Are you ok!?” I worried.

I could barely see the man but I could tell he was in the fetal position, so I kneeled down to see if he was wounded.

I saw that he had no head and there was blood everywhere. I felt my heart jump, my stomach churned out of disgust, and I looked away. I felt frozen in that spot with that image stuck in my head.

“Ramen Miso the newest state alchemist... It looks like I’ll get two birds with one stone!” the man murmured.

I turned around and saw his hand quickly reaching for my face. I threw myself out of the way and landed on the left side of my body on a puddle of blood.
