A/N: This is my first story. So we'll see where it goes..
Chapter 1: The Things I've done
Edward Elric wept.
It was something he did a lot after waking up from a dream. A dream that reminded him of the promised day. A day that good people died.
The dream would always be the same. Never different. Never.
He got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom of his tiny run-down apartment. He looked in the mirror for awhile and then proceeded to take a shower. When he was done, he put on some clean clothes and packed the rest of his stuff.
It was time to move on.
It had been years since that fateful day and Edward was a grown man. He was now the same height as an average man. Perhaps getting his body back had something to do with it.
Central was still recovering from the damage that had been caused six years ago. For some reason, no one could get anything back to normal. Father and the Humuncli seemed to leave a permanent scar over the entire country. In a way, maybe they did succeed, Ed wondered.
When he got to the train station it wasn't very crowded. It never was. Not like it used to be. People also stopped travelling so much after the ordeal. Things cost a lot of money and money was something they just didn't have.
The military was left in ruins after the Promised Day. Remnents of Bradley's people still lurked around. In fact, they had made it completely impossible for anybody to fully take charge as the new leader. It was their fault nothing was getting done. It was their fault people were suffering and it made Ed sick to the core.
The train ride was over at about noon. Ed got off the train, grabbed his luggage and moved on.
It was Spring time in Resembul. The pastures were green, flowers bloomed on the trees. Everything was nice. It was soothing for Edward and he couldn't wait to see his little brother and Winry. But thinking about them made him feel so guilty.
After the promised day, he had to leave. He just had to get away for a little while. A little while lasted about 6 years. He had come to visit them every once in a while but now he thought maybe he could finally settle down. He was twenty-two and he was very tired. It would be good for him. He just hoped they wouldn't be so mad. He knew Alphonse wouldn't be but…Winry. Well, Winry was another story. She resented him and he couldn't blame her.
Soon after the Promised day, she had confessed her love for him. He didn't say anything about it. He was still so overwhelmed and it wasn't to long afterwards that he took off. He lefted her confused and hurt. He was an idiot. Whenever he would come for a visit, he would half-expect her to have found someone else but there never was. That single thought that she would wait for him was comforting.
He approached the yellow house slowly. When he finally got to the front door he stoof there for a moment. He consider running away again but he knocked.
No answer.
He knocked again.
Still no answer.
He turned the knob slowly and walked in. No one was home. He set his things down and searched the house but still found no one. No Alphonse, Winry, Pinako or Den. He walked to the room where he normally slept and laid on the bed. He closed his eyes and he fell asleep.
