I'm sorry it took me a while to get this story up. And I'm even sorrier it wasn't a proper chapter. But I've only just worked out what I want the storyline to be. So here is a teaser. It was supposed to be the part of the first chapter but as the first chapter is still a work in progress, and maybe for a while, I decided just to make this its own chapter. I'll have the first chapter up as soon as possible.

7 days until the Promise Day

Ellie walked through the desolate town, her black cloak flapping in the wind. The streets were filled with destroyed buildings and decayed bodies, they're not a living soul in sight.

It had been 14 years since that day since all of Amestris was wiped out, only 7 survivors. Ellie had spent the whole time trying to fix everything, using all their combined knowledge on alchemy as well as Ellie's knowledge from the other side. Now they had 1 chance to fix this. They had 1 week until their chance, otherwise, the next time wouldn't be for 100 years.

Ellie rolled up her sleeve, looking at her forearm. Softly stroking the scars on her arm. 168 scars to be exact. some fresher than others. Reaching her hand to her leg, she pulled a knife from her hidden sheath, pulling it infront of her face and watching as the light reflected off of it as she twisted and turned it. Slowly, she brought ut to her arm and made a small cut, just a small straight line, next to all the others. Blood flowed from the cut, welling into a small sploch and slowly moving down her arm. Ellie just ignored it, letting the blood flow until a zap of red light shot from it, Just barely healing it. She did it to remember, to keep her head together. And to keep track of the how long it had been. Today would be exactly 169 months since Father had won.

There was a beeping from Ellie's bag. She took it off her back but stopped as she grabbed the zip. It was a small blue bag with the name ALTESSA written on it. It was a gift for Samantha, but since that day...

Shaking out of those memories, Ellie unzipped the bag and pulled out the device. It was her own design, used to communicate with the others. It looked like a small cuboid made of plastic, it had 26 buttons with letters on each one and a small glass part that showed what was being written. On the display read:

EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE

GET READY TO MEET AT THE RENDEVOUS IN 4 DAYS

Finnaly. All preperations were done, now all they had to do was wait until that day.

The Promise Day...
