Disclaimer- I do not own FMA, I only own Syn.

Syn watched from the banister as the old hag was doing a transmutation. Syn had only a vague idea what it was for, but she new it would help her Master live longer.

She watched as the young student of Dante moved into the circle. She was told that it was to help her alchemic powers grow. Dante was a very deceiving woman. Dante moved in as well, placing a ring with a small red stone on her finger. Dante clapped her hands and activated the circle.

Syn watched as she heard screams coming from within the circle. Lyra's soul was being transferred to Dante's current body. Syn understood what was happening.

When the procedure was over, 'Lyra' looked up at Syn. Syn understood it was Dante. She knew that look anywhere. Old or new face.

"Kill her." were the orders given to Syn. Syn nodded once to say she understood.

Syn jumped down from the banister and sliced the old woman in half. It let out her large amount of anger within; although, Syn was left wanting more. She restrained herself from killing Dante herself when she looked up at the witch.

"Good. Now let us leave, my child." Dante said in a sweet tone, leading Syn to the stairway.

They were halfway up the staircase before they heard a door opening. The two turned to see Greed. He glanced from the sliced body, to Dante and Syn on the staircase.

Suddenly there was a bright blue light. It engulfed Greed.

"H-Hey..." Syn watched from the top banister once more as Greed looked around for Dante. She watched as he weakened.

Once the light disappeared, she saw he was on his hands and knees. He was coughing. There were red stones pouring from his mouth.

"No! My life!" he cried just before he spit out more.

The door opened a second time, unexpectedly. A young boy around Syn's appeared age walked in and Greed stood up. He looked weak. He placed his sunglasses back over his eyes as her looked at the boy. Syn supposed, to the boy, that Greed looked fine. The seemed to be preoccupied by something to do with his brother.

Syn felt an unknown feeling toward the boy. He confused her, although she never met him. He looked familiar, and yet, seemed distant. His golden hair and eyes enhanced her.

The boy and Greed has one hell of a fight. The boy Greed dubbed to be "Ed"'s automail was busted like you wouldn't believe. And yet, it still worked. He must have has a good mechanic.

Dante left, knowing how this would end. Syn staied and watched the boy and Greed fight.

The battle closed when the boy stabbed Greed. Greed let out the information the boy needed to destroy homunculi just before he turned into nothing. The boy was a wreak. He obviously never killed before.

It was about an hour later when another woman walked in. His teacher, Dante mentioned. She calmed him down and they took their leave. As he left, Syn noticed him look at her. It was a quick glace and she could see he was about to take another look, so with unbelievable speed, she left.

Who was that boy? And how was she connected to him?

So ends another chapter. I hope you're starting to like it if you didn't before. I'll explain her appearance in the next chapter. Bit of a surprise!
