Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. If I did, I would already know the ending in the manga (which I don't want to know just yet). XP Keep 'em coming, Arakawa!

Author's Note:

(Sigh) Why must I start everything in a prologue? Must be my own way of doing things, I guess. :P

To tell you the truth, I was going to upload this somewhere around September, but after seeing the lack of EdxWin story updates lately (though I shouldn't be talking, cough-cough), I decided to just throw this out there.

I'm going to have to wing this story like I'm doing for Silver Demise due to the fact that the plot is just loosely pieced together in my head. In other words, I'm telling my brain to have fun with it and GO WILD. :P Okay, maybe not go wild, but I'm sure the people reading this get the point.

This story is motivated by the amount of FMA-Pirates of the Caribbean parodies I constantly see on Youtube (you know the ones in which Ed is Jack Sparrow, Winry is Elizabeth, and Roy/Al is Will Turner? Or the one in which Roy was Jack Sparrow, Winry was still Elizabeth, and Ed was Will Turner? Entertaining, I tell you.), so some random parts of the plot might be loosely realted to any of the three movies. I was also semi-motivated by a story that I sometimes glimpse through called Cutlass by The Lava Alchemist. It is a Parental! EdxRoy story based on Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and when I read some of it I remember thinking, "I wonder if an EdxWin could fit into this type of universe..." While I am not taking any plot ideas or original characters that may be in that story, just the AU background (sorta; mine's kind of different), it's better safe than sorry. [crossing my fingers and hoping that I won't get sued

Prologue: Sea

She moved with a grace and stealth found only in the most cunning of cats. She was smooth, sleek, desirable- the envy of many others of her kind.

Ah yes, every moment that brought The Abyss closer to port jingled the blood in the veins of every man aboard. Grins of avarice and want grew wider as cannons were loaded and cutlasses unsheathed.

"Great night, ain't it cap'n?"

The elated shout was carried towards a staunch figure standing on top of the figurehead with a cutlass held out in his right hand. His long hair, tied back in a golden braid, was buffeted to and fro by the strong wind.

A pair of golden eyes flicked in the direction of the speaker for a brief second before turning towards the starless sky above. His mouth, chained in a firm line, unshackled and burst into a wide grin that sparked his glowing orbs and lit them aflame.

He laughed loudly, a wild free sound, before shining a wicked smirk at the ever-nearing port.

"Of course."

A/N: Yes, I know. Very short. But I hope I can make it up to you once school starts and I rid myself of summer work! (grins)
