Prologue
The year was 2011 and Anna Elric stumbled three steps. She clutched her bleeding arm and gasped; it was a stupid mistake for a twelve year old to make, but now she knew, the dead could not return to life.

She fell and cursed she had stupidly ignored the warning in the note book and now she was paying the price. her grandfather was right; human transmutation was not equivalent.
