I really don't want to start studying! I just want to daydream.. Or better yet, read an envyxoc fanfic.. I want to be able to immerse myself in trying to write the story.. But I can't because I need to study for tomorrow.. What if I studied quickly, then I'd have time to write? Well, see, I'm now thinking that a Fallen Seraph ought to be the antithesis of a seraph, so it ought to be affiliated with ice the way a seraph is affiliated with fire. I was thinking of modifying the plot. Rather than have enfer be the seraph, I'll have her descend from one. Then, because of that curse(you know, the one where she morphs into an avian dragon thingy every new moon) she is on a quest to find the cure. But how do I fit that into the plot of alchemy? Perhaps she thinks the philosopher's stone can help her? Perhaps she thinks dante's knowledge may provide a clue as to what she is? Yeah, that might work, since some of her characteristics are remarkably similar to that of the homunculi. So anyway, probably in the 1600-1700s, there was drachma, a prosperous land with a tendency to flood. Then one day, the skies darkened and a huge ice storm blew through the land for 20 years. During this period, the climate of the land changed, till it is now the cold, frost-covered land it is. Some say that this was caused by the despair of an irridescent winged creature known as the Ice-bringer, or the Zaharen-Yce, which had suddenly appeared one day via a huge bright gate in the sky, which then closed up, leaving the creature trapped in this world. Its despair had unleashed a vast stream of power, which then iced drachma over. Having spent its power, it then disappeared along with the everlasting blizzard, leaving behind the legend of the Zaharen, a non-human people who had descended from this first winged creature. It is said that these people now walk amongst the human people of the various lands. They learnt to conceal their natures and thus coexist peacefully with humans. It is also speculated that the famous 'Man of the East', the one who first taught alchemy to the amestrians, was one of the zaharen.
So enfer is one of these. And she grew up not knowing of her heritage, but when she was a child, her mother used to tell the story of the Zaharen to her(it was a hint as to her true heritage). She never had the problem of the shapeshifting until she hit the age of 15. By then, her parents had already been killed in the Ishvallan war, so she was left without guidance, left to discover the secrets of her family and to survive on her own as the last child of an ancient race. Knowing that her best bet was to become a state alchemist (they had access to more resources etc) she became one. After all, she had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.. In the search, she caught dante's attention and was thus brought to work with her. But then perhaps I'll follow the adventures of fullmetal alchemist, and she'll perish at the end since she'll probably never find a way back, never fit in anywhere, being the lost child of a long-forgotten race.. How, though? What's a glamorous way to die?
Hey, I like this story! It's certainly tragic enough.. I just hope I don't give up halfway..
