Introduction

This is the introduction page. It will provide you with some basic background information necessary for reading this piece of fiction. It is highly recommended that you read through this page before you proceed. The next chapter is the first chapter of the fiction. A more detailed summary can be found below. I would like to thank everyone who reads this, and I sincerely hope that you enjoy it.

i) This fiction is a prequel to my other FMA fan fiction, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Gate of Shambala (TGoS). Vengence of the Ouroboro (VotO) starts 1 year after the movie, Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala (CoS) and goes up to about when GoS begins. VotO will consist of 13 chapters plus an epilogue, please note that this may be subject to change.

ii) VotO will answer several nagging questions left by TGoS, primarily what took place in the 4 years between my fic and the movie. One of the most common questions asked was how Edward and Alphonse ended up in the situation they were in at the start of TGoS. This plot point was only very briefly and vaguely explained, and was the point of contention in most of the critisms I recieved. VotO will serve to address this.

iii) VotO is a direct sequel to CoS, therefore there will be spoilers to the movie. You will need to have seen the full anime series and the movie to know what is going on in VotO. However, you don't need to read TGoS before VotO or vice versa, this fic will be written such that they can be read in any order.

iv) VotO will focus on Ed, Al and Noah. Other FMA characters such as Roy, Riza, Winry, etc. will not be in this story other then being mentioned because I consider their stories to be finished in TGoS.

v) Every chapter title is taken from the name of a song, where the song title and its lyrics have a certain relevence to that particular chapter. The name of the song, it's artist and where the song is featured in (album or anime series) will be listed below each chapter title. English and Japanese songs will both be utilized.

vi) I welcome feedback! Please, if you read this, write a review. If you see an error or something to pick at, knock yourself out. I want to make this a great piece of fiction, and I can only do it with everyone's help.

Okay, well I guess I'm back. I actually started working on this thing around last April I think. I went ahead and formulated an overall plot outline and even wrote most of the first chapter... then I just let it sit and collect dust for 8 months. I tried working again on it several times but I couldn't muster up the motivation or drive for some reason. Anyway, over this past Christmas break I stumbled upon it again, and I gave it another go. I read over the plot outline I had written out initially and found that I wasn't too satisfied with it so I changed it considerably to something I liked more and then finished the first chapter. So here it is at last, the start of the much-delayed Vengence of the Ouroboro. Although keep in mind that classes just started again, and I have a lot of other things that will keep me busy. I will do my best to work on this and release chapters on a consistent basis. If you want to check out my previous work, The Gate of Shambala, just go to my profile page and follow the link there. Anyways, enjoy.


Summary

The Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse embark on an epic journey to recover the sinister uranium bomb that was transported to The Other World. But their task will not be an easy one, as the Elrics have many enemies and few allies such as their friend Noa, who is trying to help them adapt to their new home. Both Ed and Al will take the first step towards their ultimate destiny, while being hounded by an old enemy who will stop at nothing to hunt them down.
