I stood up. "Yeah that's right. I'M the one that left. Not you or Alphonse." I walked back to Winery's. I was in the front yard when something wrapped around me feet. Stone hooks held me in place. "You know Gwen, it's been a while since we sparred don't you think?" I stopped struggling against my restraints. "Sure has Elric." He knew I only called them that when I was furious. Before I could even clap, I saw smoke coming from the distance. "That's where the old house is but who would be back there..?"

*Third Person POV*

Envy stood outside of the now burning house. Lust sighed, very board. "Envy? Why are we doing this again?" Envy shrugged, "Wrath seems to think this Gwen girl could be a valuable Human Sacrifice." Lust looked off, "Does he know?" Gluttony snapped his head up, "Smell Romani. Can I eat her?" Envy groaned, "Gluttony! This is another Sacrifice! So no! Let's go before she gets here. We'll see her at Lab % soon anyway…" The three dashed off just as Gwen ran up. Her breath caught in her throat. She watched the place she and her brothers grew up, learned alchemy, even done The Transmutation, burn to the ground. She dropped to her knees. Everything she needed was in there, the one thing that would explain her past. She didn't know now, but she would soon. One sneaky Hummunglius decided to use it as bait. Gwen clapped and paused. This was beyond repair and she knew it. Edward and Alphonse came up about 10 feet away from the house. They saw their old friend, knees on the ground hunched, slamming her fists into the soft earth. "Brother. This wasn't an ascendant was it?" Ed stayed quiet. Never had they seen Gwen so, helpless. She looked at the one sheet of paper, chard and smoking. Gwen snatched it up; she threw it into the fire. She clapped, then aimed at the house and snapped. The inferno grew bigger and much brighter. A gust of heat swept over them. "Damage is done." She said shaking. Al ran past Edward to Gwen. Ed watched them have a long conversation. Gwen nodded. As they walked back to the house, Gwen hopped up into a low tree branch. She started to sing:

I will pursue this dream, because I know it's expected that I be serene

Upon this winding road are the faces of the crowd the bustle all around

Although it seems I am chasing after the past

What I want is were a place is alive and

Like home to me

Please try to under stand the truth that this is no choice and

I wish you'd stop with that Look of Despair

You're giving me

. . .

As she did, Ed leaned up against the base of the tree, felling that the lyrics had another specific meaning. Al stood under her perch, listen closely as well. A strong wind came blowing Ed, Al's "hair" and Gwen. She took a deep breath. "We're going to fight. I'm going to get the Philosopher's Stone get your bodies back. I swear on my dying breath…" They shared a glance knowing they had to return to Central.
