Edward and Alphonse stood watching their house bruning down, the orange flames licked up toward the evening sky, making it look as if the world around them was set on fire. Edwards blonde tail was swishing in the wind, along with his red duster with the Flamel symblo in black in the middle of his jacket. His younger brother was now in prisoned in a seven foot suit of armor.

Edward in his grief as a young boy of only eleven, wanting to bring his mother back after she passed away from heart break and depression. Due to the fact his stupid father left all three of them alone. Now Ed and Alphonse were the only two left of the small family. Edward used the taboo method of life returning transmutation, which is a forbidden alchemy. Though Edward ignored this and study everything he thought he needed to. He brought his little brother along with him and well everything that could go wrong did. The transmutation worked but not in a good way, in a horrific nightmare. Both Ed and Al painfully lost, Al losing his body, Edward lost his leg, then only could Ed get Al's soul if he gave up his right arm. So that is what he did, then he had to find somewhere to attach his brothers soul. In the mind numbing pain he was in when they returned to the basement. From the missing limbs blood was gushing out and making It almost impossible for Edward to think right, he managed some how to drag himself to that suit of armor and put in the blood seal.

Now it was three years later, Edward has more then learned his lesson about dealing with such things. He now bore the reminders in cold metal limbs on his left leg and his right arm. Even more so his little brother in that huge hunk of armor.

"Well Al, no turning back now," Edward said looking up at his brother with his big golden eyes, his cat ears were down on his head, he didn't know if he'd ever be happy again. As he looked at Al all he could see was two little white pins of light coming through the holes of the armor.

"Right brother," Al nodded, Edward bent down he picked up his brown suitcase which was the only things he brought along the rest was burned. He turned away from the house and headed down the pathway toward the train station. Al followed Ed the sound of his feet hitting the ground would always at least alert Edward to where Alphonse was.

Edward had gotten the spark of wanting to leave Resembool and go to Central Ever Since, that black haired Panther Colonel, had visited him when he was 11 without limbs or anything. Edward had been laying in bed, when the Colonel had grabbed him up and was yelling at him. Which annoyed Ed he growled a bit thinking about that. He was going to Central to show that bastard he wasn't some push over stupid kid. Well also he was hoping he'd be able to help him find the philosopher's stone. So He could get Al's body back try to make this all right again. This was the only hope the young panther demon had to go on. Also he swore he'd always protect Alphonse so another reason he couldn't give up.

As the brother's walked down the road, dark clouds had rolled in, small little tinkling could be heard hitting Al's armor as it began to sprinkle. It was soft at first then it started to get harder. "Gah!" Edward hissed he quickly put his hood up. If one thing all panther demons hate is rain in their pretty hair. "Damn my tail is going to be all fuzzy." He pouted. "Why did it have to rain!?"

"I don't know brother... but maybe we should run or something? You think we'd get there faster?" Alphonse wondered not enjoying the rain starting to fill up his armor.

"Yeah lets do that!" So the brothers started to run down the dirt path, Demon Panther's can run pretty fast. So they made good time and got under the roof of the porch in good time. Edward pulled his hood back and shook of the water from his lovely golden tail. Then he rang it out there was a puddle now on the deck of the waiting bored. He turned and went to the ticket counter and got two for him and Al.

Roy was leaning on his hand, with his elbow propped up on the desk, he had stacks of paper work on either side of him. He was starting to fall to sleep it was like the paper work never ended ever. Luckily Hawkeye went to lunch so he could try and catch a few winks, Was what his brain said, though his body had been meaning to keep signing things. He was then startled by a knock at the door he snorted awake and knocked over the sky scraper of papers to his left. "Oh Shit." He muttered. "Just a Second!" he called feeling pissed he would roast who ever woke him aside for Hawkeye of course. He picked up the papers quickly and stacked them back on his desk. Then he leaned on the front of his it crossing his arms. "Ok Enter," he had his tail on the desk which was thumbing.

Edward opened the door and peeked his little golden head into the office, man he sounded mean he wondered if all Colonels were. Roy looked up when he heard the door slowly creek open. He was more then surprised to see who it was, "Um Sorry to bother you Colonel, but I really need to talk to you." Edward said sliding into the office.

Roy was stunned really to see this once limbless cub, now standing before him, his hair had gotten longer and it was pulled back into a very pretty braid, along with his entire hair which shone was like golden soft strains amazing Roy couldn't believe he thought this but facts are facts. The young cubs eyes shone with a fiery light. Roy couldn't help but feel a bit impressed with this little cub... "Well then please do come in Edward and sit down," Roy said gesturing to the black sofa in the room with a coffee table in front of it.

"Thank you so much Sir." Edward walked over and sat down on the end of the sofa nearest Roy's desk. Why did it seem Roy was getting to him. As a kid Ed really didn't understand these feelings washing around inside of him. He had never thought of anyone so strongly before this was different from his brother and mother.

"So what have you come all this way to talk to me about?" Roy wondered very interested indeed he sat down at his desk with his finger tips pressed together.

"Well... as you know what I did three years ago, the forbidden thing... Well I need your help. I have no one else to help me with this. Seeing as you know a lot about Alchemy yourself. So I am just wondering can you help... And help me find the philosopher stone?" Edward ended Roy stood up and walked over to Edward who felt a bit nervous as the elder came toward hi. He relaxed when Roy sat down across from him.

"Well, I must say I am rather impressed with how you managed to go from the little stumpy cub to you standing up and being all bright eyed and bushy tailed." Roy said leaning back on the sofa comfortably then put his hand on the arm rest.

"Don't call me Small!" Edward hissed and his tail really did puff up. Roy thought it was cute how he got defensive about being called small.

"Calm down Edward, anyways I'll think up some ideas of how I can help you do this. you'll have to listen to me. Alright?" Roy wondered looking into Edward's eyes with his nearly black shinny pools.

"Of course that is why I went through everything I had for the last three years so I could prove to you I am not some weakling! Also I believe your the only one who can help me. I mean you inspired me so far to get up off my ass. So I know you can help me and my brother the rest of the way?" Edward said looking at Roy hopefully.

"Alright I'll help you," Roy nodded he was impressed he knew Edward was strong. "Let me come up with a really good idea, I'll summon you back here. What is your address?" Roy wondered, "Or somewhere I can send a message to you?"

"Um Alright I am staying at the South Motel, Room 10," Edward told him, Roy hid his reaction but he wasn't sure he liked the sound of Edward being in South Motel it was really dangerous there. For now he didn't say anything he was sure Edward could not a ford anything else. Though he couldn't help but worry in the pit of his gut...

"Alright well I'll get a message sent to you right away," Roy stood up and Edward did as well he walked over and offered his hand to Edward to shake.

Edward slid his hand into Roy's. "Thank you so much!" Ed shook his hand he had a nice warm firm grip even through both their gloves. Edward then let go and turned on his heels. "I can't wait to tell Alphonse!" He said more to himself then anyone. Roy watched those red coat tails fly up like flags the red and gold wonder that had brightened his day for a few split seconds was gone again. Some how Roy couldn't help but feel a bit gloomy now. He went back to his seat and sat down with a signing. Then glared at his mound of paper work standing over top of him.
