-----Chapter 5: Hiegesst…My once home-----

I stared into the bright blue sky that was a blaze that day. I took a deep sigh and rest on the shoulder of Martel.

"I'm sorry." Martel said to me with sadness. I rose up with confusion.

"What?" I asked her.

"I wasn't in time to save Greed."

"The past was the past. It time to move on. I hardly remembered him any way." Martel started to walk away with Al.

Thanks for leaving me.

I stared into the sky. I sighed and stood up. I ran towards them. We seemed to be heading for a town.

We reached the town of Hiegesst. I gasped. I have lived here once a long time again, before my death. I started to run. Everything looked the same. I remember, my home, my town, my life.

I ran into my old home. But then stopped once I got inside. The place looked rotten. Cobwebs where on all the furniture, and little varmints scattered across the squeaky wooden floor boards. I walked up stairs. Then stood in front of the 2nd left door. I sighed then opened it.

There it was; the place where my brother and I did human transmutation. There was a huge transmutation circle on the floor. Old blood was every where. I started to walk towards a desk that was there. There laid an old diary. Written by me. I schemed through it.

Dear Diary,

Today our mother died. At least she died peacefully. In her sleep. My brother and I are discussing. To try human transmutation…

I gasped, but yet I was not afraid to search more into my diary. Then I stopped at the last page. It was a song. It was written in blood, my blood…

How can I repay you brother mine,

How can I expect you to forgive?

Clinging to the past I shed our blood,

And shattered your chance to live.

Though I know the laws I paid no heed.

How can I return you wasted breath?

What I did not know has cost you dear

Since there is no cure for death…

Beautiful Mother, soft and sweet

Once you were gone we were not complete

Back through the year we reached for you,

Alas, was not meant to be!

And how can I make amends

For all that I took from you?

I lead you with hopeless dreams

My brother I was a fool…

Don't cry for the pas now brother mine,

Neither you nor I are free from blame,

Nothing can erase the things we did

Since the pass we took was the same…

Beautiful Mother, soft and sweet

Once you were gone we were not complete,

Back through the years we reached for you,

Alas, twas not meant to be.

My dreams made me blind and mute.

I long to return to that time,

I followed without a word,

My brother the fault is mine…

So where do we go from here?

And how to forget and forgive?

What is gone is forever lost,

Now all we can do is live…

Tears started to flow down my eyes. Then Martel and Al walked into the room.

"A transmutation circle?" Al questioned. I closed the book, but still held it in my hand. I nodded.

"This is where my brother and I did human transmutation." I answered.

"And you lived without getting hurt? That's amazing!"

"No Al…um…I'm…I'm…dead…"
