Edward grew up as any normal boy... well as normal as a mage's son who was being raised in a demention of alchemists would. He took a keen intrest in Alchemy and soon it consumed his thoughts. He and his new brother Al would study it as if it was a religon. It helped that this thing called alchemy seemed to make his foster mom proud. HE thrived on his moms approval. As he grew up his former life became nothing more than a distant dream. A dream that plagued him. Every night he would have strange dreams of an icy world and a wonderful castle. Dreams of a silly loving blonde man a strange woman with big ears. He tried telling them To his brother Alphonse but Al would just laugh and say he had an overactive immagination.

One day Whe edward was 7 he was playing with Alphonse and their friend Winry were playing dress up and Ed dug and brought out a long white rob and drapped it on him and brought out a stick and held it out proudly. "who are you suposed to be Ed?" WInry asked curiously as she placed a paper crown on her head. "My Name is Fai and I am a powerful Mage! Protector of the pure and lover of all women." Ed said puffying out his chest. both Al and Winry groaned. "Oh Ed... how do you make up these people?" winry asked curiously. "Mage? ha your weird." Edward started to glare at her but decided against it and smiled. "Yea.. I guess i am weird." Edward said as he scratched his head. "BUt wouldnt it be cool if such a person existed?" He asked wistfully.

tragidy struck him again and he lost his mother to an illness. Him and Alphonse tried in vain to bring her back to life with alchemy but that too failed. It cost Ed his right leg and Al his body. Using a combination of alchemy and unbeknowest to him magic he was able to sacrafice his left arm to seal Als soul to a body of armor and at the age of 12 Ed became a state alchemist to try and find a way to get his brothers body back.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Fai smiled wistfully as he watched Syaoran and Sakura laugh over something. They were taking a break from their search for the feathers. So far it looked like they were doing well in recovering them. He hoped that all went well and they were able to find them in time beofre the poor girl died. He didnt think he could stand it if he had to see another kid die like his son. no.. Ed isnt dead. We don't know that for sure. Fai silently remided himself. He is still out there somewhere.. I am sure of it."

"Hey Mage what are you thinking about?" Kurogane asked knoking on Fai's head to wake him up from his thoughts. "OH nothing of importance just brooding." Fai said off handedly.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chi sat against a nearbye wall starring out at the sea contemplatingly. "I wonder how Fai is." she thought outloud. It had now been a year her time since He had left and their son had disapeared. One long gurling,depressing year. "Chi is lonely. Chi misses Fai and Ed." She said mournfully. Her cat like ears went back in sorrow. After much thought she got up and glared at the sea where Ashura was burried. "This is your fault!" She yelled accusingly. "Ashura took my family from me!" in a state of heat she left the place without even a glance back. A year was too long. She needed to see her family again.

SHe was in the end able to find a willing Mage to send her to Yƫko the time witch. Yuko smiled down at her knowingly. "I was wondering if you would ever show up Chi. ALthough starting to feel rather Timid Chi locked eyes with the witch. "I have come to find my Husband." she said resolutely. "Take whatever it is you wish I have no possion worth keeping. All i care about is my family." She said defiantly. "I sense a strong reslove to seek out and help your husband. " Yuko murmered. "And even stronger desire for your son." Chi averted her eyes at this but nodded. "If I grant your wish you will never be able to return back to your beloved home You like the rest of your family will be in exile..Are you ok with this?" Yuko inquiered. "A plcace with out a family is never a home. May it be as you say." Chi said agreeing to her terms. Yuko nodded as she raised her arms out. "Than go forth Chi and find Your family. May you be blessed." and with that in a flashing light Chi found herself falling through a portal.

Fai was busy teasing Kurogane when suddently he heard a strangely familure screech. Fai and his group turned and watched as Chi fell to the ground. "Oww Chi's but hurts.
Chi whined as she gingerly rubbed her butt. "WHo the hell is that?" Kurogane asked eyes raised but to his surprise Fai ran happily to her mtaking her hands in his. "Chi the love of my life. MY wife what twist of fate has brought you once more to my heart?" he asked hyperly casuing Chi to giggle. "Chi missed Fai and nice Yuko sended Chi to her mate!" She informed Fai who nodded. "I see so you are an exile now like I?" he more stated than asked. Chi nodded. Kurogane and the others stared in aww as they watched the couple laugh over some secret joke. "Wait... Your married!" Kurogane asked astounded. "Yes i am this is My wife Chi." Fai anounced as he grabbed Chi by her ears tweaking them playfully. "Stop that tickles." Chi giggled. "Well they are most certainly cute togeather.." Sakura commented to Syaoran who nodded feeling the sweat droplets fall down his face. "Geeze next thing yu know you are going to tell me is that you have little minature Fai's running arround somewhere right?" Kurogane asked idsgustedly. At that comment both Fai and Chi's smiles droped and they shred a look. Fai sliped into his carefree mode and laughed. "OH Kurgy you would just love that wouldn't you?" Fai said laughing. Kurogane however saw through that laughter and knew that they were both hiding something.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ed glared at Roy from the other side of the desk. "TIme off for a whole month!?!" Edward roared. "BUt why?" he whined. "Why? well first off you are overworking and it isnt healthy second your 13ths birthday is comming up and I am sure you don't want to spend it working do you?" ROy smirked. "Screw birthdays and rest." Edward huffed. "I am going to the library." He growled. ROy watched him go and sighed. "That boy needs to light up. Hopefully this break will do him some good."
