The sun was especially hot today, I had been walking for three days with my brother to this town in the middle of nowhere called "Liore". I seriously hope we find it soon because our water supply is running low.

-" Ugh! how much longer 'till we get there?" I complained.

-" Meg do you see that black dot that is getting bigger and bigger?" Russell asked as he pointed toward the horizon.

-"Yeah I saw it before but i thought it was one those tricks that the desert pulls on you when your going to get a heat stroke or something" I responded.

-"Well that dot over there is Liore." he assured me by patting me on the back.

-"Remind me again why we're going to the town that is IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE." I exclaimed while sticking my tongue out.

-" Hahaha because the Elric brothers are going there and we need to ask them a favor." Russell said with a smile then started sprinting toward the black dot in the distance called Liore.

I couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the place. The town was breath taking, you would think that a town in the middle of the desert would be abandoned with the buildings falling apart. But it was the complete opposite! The place was filled with life everywhere, children running,hundreds of open shops, people socializing and a huge water fountain.

-" Look brother, that water fountain is full of grape juice!' I exclaimed as I ran and grabbed a cup and started to pour in some 'grape juice'.

-"Um.. Meg I don't think tha-

-"Haha I wouldn't drink that if I were you!" I heard a guy say behind me. I dropped the cup and quickly turned around surprised to see a blonde guy as tall as me, wearing a red coat. Standin next to him was a huge metal armored man...? Why would anyone wear an armor in this heat?

-"My! don't we have the best of luck, Meg these are the Elric brothers." Russell exclaimed proudly as he walked towards them.

-"How do you know us? haha are we THAT famous already?" the small blonde one asked.

-" Oh! Where are my manners?! My name is Russell and this is my little sister Megan." Russell said pointing towards me.

-"But you can call me 'Meg'. " I corrected.

-" Edward, at your service" the blonde said as he bowed with a warm smile.

-"And I am Alphonse! please to meet you." The metal man said with a childish voice... that caught me off guard because I thought he was a grown man since he was soo tall.

-" So why are you guys here? Tourism?" Edward inquired.

-"We came here in search for you." My brother responded. 'Great sound like a creeper' I thought.

-" We want to help with the search of the philosopher's stone." He continued.

-"And why would you want to that? What happens when we find it? How do we know you won't try to take it for yourselves!" Edward said defensively

-" Brother!" Alphonse exclaimed but Edward raised his hand to hush him.

-" Guess that you'll have to wait and see, but to assure that we won't steal it. Here." He walked towards me and took the necklace I was wearing then he gave it to Edward. I was about to complain but Russell's glare hushed me.

-" And why do I want a old, ugly necklace?" Edward said bluntly inspecting the necklace.

-"Because according to the doctor that cured me three years ago, he gave this necklace and told me that the day I open the necklace is the day I'll have some clues about the making a philosopher's stone" I explained with a bit of anger on my tone because he wasn't being careful with the necklace. Edward and Alphonse looked at each other, nodded, then looked back at us.

-"Welcome aboard!" Edward exclaimed as he hugged us both and started walking towards the entrance of the town called Liore.
