Epilogue: A Finding

"Al!" Edward yelled over his shoulder. He looked around but there wasn't a living large shiny armor behind him. "Hey, Alphonse!" Better not be picking up a stray cat again.

"Nii-san!" Al reappeared from behind a nearby fence. "Nii-san I found something!"

"Is it a cat?" Edward said, sighing and walking over to his little brother.

"No!" Al said, slightly offended. "Look!" Al bent down and picked something up. A girl lay limp in his arms. Blood ran down from a cut on her left cheek and a cut somewhere under the mess of blondish brown bangs. Her right arm looked broken. A few bruises were scattered on her arms and legs. She looked pretty beaten up.

"WAAAH!" Ed said, hurrying over. "What the hell is this?"

"It's a girl, Ed," Al replied. "Look at her. We can't leave her like this."

"Alright, alright," Ed said. "We'll need to get her to a hospital."

"But the next one isn't for a few miles," Al protested.

"I don't know much healing alchemy," Ed protested back. He glanced around him, thinking. He took of his red jacket and transmuted a sheet. He tore two pieces off and bandaged her face and forehead. The rest he used for a splint for her arm along with two sticks.

"Should I just carry her?" Al offered.

"I guess," Ed replied, shrugging. "Let's keep going. The next town is just a bit ahead."

"Ok," Al agreed.

As they continued to walk, it started to drizzle. Al tried to shelter her cuts. He didn't realize that one of her hands was beginning to fall. Ed noticed and moved to place it back but then noticed something else. "Al, what's on her hand?"

Al picked up her hand. "It's a transmutation circle! She can do alchemy?"

"Apparently, but wouldn't that just transmute her hand?" Ed said, confused.

"Yeah, wouldn't it? Is she able to do that?"

"I don't know," Ed said, starring at the wounded figure he was carrying. Who is this girl?…
