Behind the Sun [Coliseum/Open]
The Coliseum seemed like the exact opposite of Traverse Town, bright hot sun instead of cool twilight. That warmth was good to feel, especially after so long in Traverse. He'd begun to think that the sun only existed in his imagination. It was good to feel it on his skin, warming the automail which leached so much heat from his body.
Of course it didn't take him long to start cursing it.
Ed had taken off his coat and jacket about a minute after leaving the gummi ship and he was still too warm. His automail was almost too hot to touch, making it more than a little uncomfortable to move. Couldn't they find a planet where it didn't seem to be at one extreme of the spectrum?
He hated deserts.
It was with relief that Ed ducked into the shade of one of the huge statues which guarded a huge gateway. It didn't lower the heat considerably, but it was enough to make him sigh with relief.
And then he felt it.
Ed's eyes went wide in shock and horror and he stared blindly up at the sky, hands raising to clutch at his chest. He felt as though his heart were being ripped out, and absolute terror consumed him as he dropped to his knees. He'd never felt anything like it. Not even the Gate had inspired such fear.
He squeezed his eyes shut and clamped his hands over his ears in a futile attempt to make it stop hurting.
