The Ishvalan woman was laying on the bed numb. They had moved her into a underground area and chained her to the wall. She was very skinny due to the lack of food and her body was covered in bruises due to their roughness. Her once brown hair was now white due to her age and her red eyes were dull due to the abuse. She didn't react to anything, nothing mattered anymore. She just wanted to die in here home, she was humiliated, bruised and tired. She couldn't take it anymore. One of the men had untied her, knowing she wouldn't do anything, and did the deed. As he was done and put on his clothes, another soldier came in and said. "Come help back up. We're moving out." "Why what's happening?" "The wars over and we're going home. The alchemist did man." "Sweet. What do we do about her?" "After we're done packing up, grab her and well have a much nicer area to do it in with our new doll." Doll, that was her new name. She couldn't remember her name because she forgot it, she didn't even know who she was anymore. The soldiers left leaving the door unlocked. She slowly processed what they said, the war was over. That means they were leaving but what happened to her home? To her people? They said that they'd bring her to Amestris, she was leaving her home. Life came back into her eyes at that realization, she looked at the door and slowly got up. Her legs shook due to the lack of movement but made her way to the door and opened it. She made her way up the stairs and saw the night sky, she was in awe. It had been along time since she saw the starry night sky and now all she had to do was go home. She slowly walked to where her city was, where her home was.

Edward, Alphonse and Winry look at her in disbelief as she just smiled. "And what are your names? I've said mine." The woman, who introduced herself as Sylvia, had just revealed to being in love with an Amestrian and having their baby. Alphonse was the first one to shake off his shock and said. "My names Alphonse Elric, this is my older brother Edward Elric and this is Winry Rockbell. It's nice to meet you miss Sylvia." "It's nice to meet you too. You all have very nice names."

Winry and Edward shook out of their shock and said. "It's nice to meet you too Sylvia." "Yeah same. But could you answer a question for me?" Sylvia looked at them surprised and said. "Oh sure. What is it?" "Can you tell us who the father is? And why you fell in love with him?" Sylvia looked at them surprised and smiled. "Of course. The father is a state alchemist in the military, that's why I was disowned." "Oh. I'm sorry to hear that." "It's fine. I don't mind. Now as for how we met it was near the end of the Ishval Civil war. My husband and family had just been killed and I was the only survivor. As I was hiding, some soldiers found me and took into their camp. They took my clothes, tied me to the bed and gagged me, they brought in a alchemist. From what I remembered, he was the crimson alchemist. He took glee into killing my people and took even more glee to making me scream."

Winry, Ed and Al shutter at that and look at her with pity. They knew the Ishvalan civil war was horrible but they didn't know what they did to the survivors. "One day I escaped so I could die with my brothers and sisters, I went to the ruins of Ishval and collapsed in the middle of the city. When I woke up, I was in a tent and right next to me was man I never seen before. I tried to get out of bed but he stopped me, saying that I'm hurt and weak from hunger and Dehydrated. When I tried to speak, I noticed I couldn't. He had told me that my throat was dry and my vocal cords were messed up, that I couldn't speak until it healed. He told me that he was gonna get me to a nearby town that Ishvalans have settled as a sack of clothes. I didn't really care, I just wanted to get away from any Amestrians. They humiliated me, killed my family and my people. I wanted nothing to do with this man because when those soldiers found me, I discovered that i was pregnant. They killed my baby and got me pregnant more and more, sixteen miscarriages in over a year. It would have been seventeen if I hadn't left and I'm glad I did or else I would've been called doll all my life." "How did the man help you Sylvia?" "Ah, when we made it to Amestris he sought out a doctor they checked me over for anything wrong. He knew that I had tearing but no diseases so that was a relief, I also could have kids. I would just have to wait until my body heals and I had to get healthier. That alchemist stayed by my side through it all, helped me heal and I fell in love."

They smile at her and she continued her story. "Later he took me to a nearby settlement for Ishvalans, then he left. Never saw him again. I tried to get back with my people but I couldn't, they welcomed me back with open arms but I couldn't bring myself to be like I was before. Being with that man, brought something out of me that I left after I got married. I was curious about Amestris for a long time and I left that Curiosity behind so I wouldn't disappoint my family, one day the people told me that I would marry another man but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I told them I couldn't marry a man I didn't love and told them I loved another man, a Amestrisan. They were furious, they told me to forget about him but I refused. Then they disowned me and kicked me out of the settlement. That's when I found this cabin, it's nice and away from the nearby town. I like it here, it's cozy." "How did you two find each other miss Sylvia?"

"I was in town one day and I saw him, he looked better then the last time I saw him. He looked healed, mentally. He asked me why I wasn't in the settlement and I told him that I was kicked out because I refused to marry a man that I didn't love, that I only wanted him. He tried to tell me that He was no good to be around and that I needed to find someone else but I couldn't. Not being with him was horrible, so I kissed him. I was so worried that he wouldn't love me back but he did. He kissed me back and we got into a relationship, we've been together for four years and he got me pregnant two months ago. He was thrilled about and said that when things get better that we'll get married, I can't wait to get married to the love of my life."

Ed, Al and Winry smile at her and Al said. "I Hope you two have a happy future Miss Sylvia." "Thank you Al, I hope so to." Sylvia gets up and says. "I'll see you both in the morning. Night." "Night." Sylvia goes into her room and shuts the door as Winry and Ed lay down in their cots. Alphonse looks at his brother and asked. "Ed?" "Yeah Al?" "Who do you think is the father of Miss Sylvia's baby? She said that he's a state alchemist and is a soldier, your around more state alchemist then me. Who do you it is?" Ed thinks about it and says. "I'm not really sure. I only know two state alchemist that were in the war. Major Armstrong and the colonel, none of them seem like they'd marry an Ishvalan due to their guilt but what strike me as odd was how her people disowned her right then and there when she said she loved him. I can't really imagine what I'd be like to disown their own people for just being in love or someone being curious about another country would make their parents upset." "Me neither Ed, it's weird. Those Ishvalans we met back at that camp seemed to like my parents and they were Amestrian." "Maybe but state alchemist aren't really that liked even by their own people." "You got that right Al. Goodnight guys." "Night brother." "Night Ed."

Unknown to them, Sylvia was listening to them while putting a protective hand on her belly. She went to bed while thinking. 'They wouldn't understand, their just kids and they don't know what it's like to be disowned or seen war. In war, soldiers are supposed to follow orders. It's kill or be killed out there and Winry was lucky. Her parents were killed by a man filled with guilt while mine was killed by a man who took glee in their screams.' Sylvia grabs her necklace and holds the pendant. 'We're waiting for you love, we're waiting for you.'

The Ishvalan woman made it to the ruins of her once beautiful city. Once near some buildings, she got on her knees and said. "Parakaló afíste me na eímai me tin oikogéneiá mou kai na petháno. se iketévo isvála." Then she fell face down into the sand and went unconscious. After an hour, a pair of boots came into view and kneeled down to her. A pair of gloves checked her pulse, they turned her over and picked her up bridal style. They put their lips to her forehead and whispered. "Don't worry, I'm gonna get you help. Even if you don't want it."

'please let me be with my family and die. I beg you of Ishvala' is the translation for the language and the language I used is Greek.
