Selim ran over to Elysia and kneeled down next to her. They had been friends growing up. They met during Ed and Winry's wedding. They were both staying in Resembool and where part if the wedding. They were the only young kids there. Elysia was the flower girl and Selim was the ring bearer. They had been friends ever since. Great friends, they were like brother and sister. But Selim did have feeling for her. He had a crush on her since he was thirteen. But the question is if Elysia likes her back. Elysia wanted to bring someone on her trip. She wanted someone to be shocked right away of what she did. She didn't think her mother would agree on going on a trip with her. So she decided to ask Selim to come. She told Selim it was a trip for a job interview but she wanted to have some fun and some company. She told Selim to stay in the hotel because she was going for the interview. But Selim noticed Elysia was acting suspicious. So he followed her and now he found her with one leg in the woods.
"Elysia what happened?!" Asked Selim. Elysia was crying. She looked at Selim.
"I wanted to bring my dad back" said Elysia. She was still crying while speaking. Selim was very scared. His face showed it to.
"You meen like human transmutation?" Asked Selim. Selim new about human transmutation. He figured out that's what happened to Ed and Al. He was told part of story but never told about human transmutation. He was never told about him being a homunculus either. He was always a smart and clever boy. But he still never figured out what he truly is.
"Yes I do" said Elysia.
"But that's forbidden, horrible things are supposed to happen from that. Like your leg it's gone." Said Selim. He started crying too. He tried picking up Elysia. She was too heavy for him. He kept trying and trying. He was eventually able to pick her up. He ran through the woods in the horrible storm. The boy got her to the nearest doctor. The doctor got her into a bed and started treating her.
"Get Marry" said the doctor.
"Yes sir" said his assistant.
"How did this happen?" Asked the doctor. Elysia started crying more.
"She... She..." Said Selim.
"If she committed human transmutation I won't let out the secret. I know of people who have" said the doctor.
"Yes she did" said Selim.
"That's horrible! I hate when people have to lose things being tricked by that art. Just look at what happened to her leg." Said the doctor.
"It's not just my leg,I can't smell anything and shouldn't be able to taste anything too" said Elysia. The doctor tested for taste and smell.
"It's true" said the doctor. All of a sudden the doctor's assistant came back with a women. The women had many automail parts. It was the Marry person the doctor was talking about. She observed Elysia for about five minutes. For about five hours Marry worked on automail for Elysia and fitted it onto her. They told Selim to go do something while they worked. He went to go get lunch.
"This is horrible" Selim thought while at lunch. He was sitting there looking all depressed.
"What are we going to say to ?" Thought Selim. A woman came to take his order.
"Are you okay sir?" Asked the woman.
"Oh I'm fine" answered Selim. Selim ordered and ate his lunch. He then went back the the doctor's office. Elicia was sitting there with a new automail leg. Elysia looked at Selim.
"Oh Selim I'm sorry I made you come. I really thought I could bring my dad back, I really did. I wanted to amaze you but know you had to go through this. But if you weren't here I would be dead." Said Elysia. Selim started getting a little teary.
"It's okay Elysia" said Selim. Selim then walked. Over and hugged Elysia. Elysia hugged back.
"Marry and the doctor says I'll be fine perfectly soon. I have a plan to get what I've lost, back. I'm pretty sure human transmutation is what happened to the Elrics. I want to talk to them about it. But I don't know what moms gonna think." Said Elysia. This is what Selim was thinking about. This is what was a big problem. How would Gracia react finding out her daughter tried human transmutation?
