Edward had died.
He decided he wanted to climb the tree in front of his house; he wanted to prove to his dad he was brave, or at least tell his dad that he climbed the tall tree (Ed is actually short) when his father came back. Being a 7yr old he wasn't bright on the idea of alchemy, he didn't think it seemed like his type of study. Edward wanted to make his father proud. Unfortunately the young boy may have seemed short and small but that didn't stop the thick old branch from snapping from his undersized weigh. The branch cracked and snapped, the Elric boy fell to the ground with a thud hitting his head on a big rock that was planted on the ground.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alfonse who was tired had woken to find that his brother wasn't in his bed sleeping. 'Maybe brother had decided to learn alchemy after all!' Alphonse thought excitedly, he would only learn something if his brother was the one to make sure it was safe. He went to his father's room to see if his brother was there, he wasn't. Alphonse went into the kitchen to see that his mother was in cooking a late breakfast, but no Edward. "Mom! Have you seen Ed?" he asked. "I'm sorry Alphonse but he went out awhile ago. But you do need more sleep than him!" Trisha Elric, his mother, replied with a look of motherly concern "maybe we should go out to see where he went before breakfast turns cold." She finish the cooking and that table was ready. Holding young Alfonse's hand, she left the house to find that their search for the older boy had ended before it had began, Edward was lying on the ground. "EDWARD!" his mother screamed running towards the unconscious boy. "Mommy…is Ed sleeping…?" Alphonse asked dumbstruck still by the house door. "No! Alphonse he isn't sleeping! Go into the house and call the doctor! The phone number is on the fridge! THE BLUE PAPER!" Trisha yelled to Alphonse holding Edward in her arms, she was as pale as paper. Alphonse's brain had realized that this was an emergency, he ran to the phone and called.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmmm…this is a serious concussion to the head! I'm sorry to say this but…he may not survive long…" the doctor said gravely at Edward's bed staring at the pale form of a boy. Tears broke out of the mother's eyes "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE MIGHT NOT LIVE LONG? YOU'RE A DOCTOR HERE TO HELP MY SON AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WILL DO!" she screeched at the top of her lungs, Alphonse was as scared as he could be, he had never seen his mother this vicious before, he decided he wasn't going to speak. His mother never broke into anger when his father had never returned, even after a year, it was confusing. His mother gave an unearthly screech, she grabbed the vase of flowers that was on the bedside table and smashed it against the wall. "HOW CAN YOU JUST PRANCE IN HERE ALL JOLLY AND ATTEMPT TO PRANCE OUT WHILE IN FULL CONSCIENCE KNOWING VERYWELL THAT YOU LET A YOUNG BOY DIE!" she screamed right into the doctor's face. The doctor still remained calm, he defended himself calmly as well "I've seen many people die of painful diseases and I know that no one had yelled at me this much before! I've done surgery on an unlucky patient with a concussion to the head, I still have her blood on my hands so deal with…she was my wife." With his final statement he left the house. Trisha could only watch as her son slowly died.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Spoiler: Trisha loved her son too much to let him go, her son who died a tragic death. Defy the laws of alchemy? And attempt to revive the dead…
