Cast Iron Alchemist

Epilogue

Anthony Elric

Upon returning home, Anthony returned to school, carrying the secrets of Amestris with him. He decided it was too dangerous to reveal the truth of another world to the people of this world. Finishing his education, he became an architect like he always planned, using the knowledge he drew from Amestrian architecture to create beautiful buildings in his own world. After spending years together with Alicia, he finally married her. They had two children, a girl and a boy. Out of respect for those that brought the two together, they named them Edward and Winry.

Anthony missed Amestris a lot, and always wished he could return. His wish was granted a couple of years after his return home, when a messenger in a Fullmetal Brigade jacket came to him with a letter from President Fuhrer King Trevor Mustang. It told him about how Amestris had changed, and the discovery of a vault full of philosopher's stones left over from the rule of Fuhrer Simon. With the help of the stones, Anthony and Alicia were able to make yearly visits back to Amestris.

Alicia Rivers/Elric

For a while, Alicia had trouble getting used to not using her alchemy, but was soon able to learn how to work with her hands in a more patient way. As she grew older, and built a family around herself, she never got over her love of plants. She loved plants almost as much as she loved her family, which led her to open her own business. In the small town they lived in, she found a location up for lease. With some work and a little help from Anthony, she was able to create a lovely flower shop, the most popular one in town. In a burst of nostalgia, she named the store "Botanic Alchemist" and has never regretted it. She always looks forward to their summer trips to Amestris, when she could show her children their roots.

Trevor Mustang

Trevor was a welcomed change to the previous regime. His welcome into the office of Fuhrer was the first sign of a change of pace, the start of a new Amestris. His first decree as Fuhrer was to change the Military's symbol. By now, the dragon in the triangles had become less a sign of freedom, and more a sign of fear. He tore apart the symbols of the old military, burning the banners of fear, and replacing them with the liberating snake around the cross.

The next thing he did was make sure to give credit where it was due, assigning military positions to the previous brigade members. Samantha became general of the West, a kind general whose only order to her soldiers was live life to the fullest. Edward, the devoted son he was, accepted the position of South general, with his only goal to make alchemists truly "for the people." Zeke and Fang took dual roles as North generals, happy to be a family again. Trevor's final offer of credit where it's due was to erect a statue in the center of Central, made to look like Anthony, with a caption "Hero of Amestris." when Anthony saw it, however, he shook his head, pressing his gloved palm to the stone and transmuting it into his own view of the hero, his grandfather.

Finally, Trevor fulfilled his promises. As promised, he had his father's gravestone revised, and was also able to have his mother moved and reburied next to him. He also made Rockbell Automail into a national landmark, and it also became the Elric's summer home when they visited. Trevor's dogs, Roy and Riza, also had puppies. As a thank you for rescuing him from a void of hatred, Trevor gave one of the pups to Anthony, for showing him the true heroism of his father's life.

Jennifer Meadows

Jennifer happily accepted the task of head medic, teaching new alchemists anatomy and medical alchemy. There she met a nice young man, who she fell in love with. Her medical skills and resolve to learn more and more led her to the cures for many diseases that ailed the people, as well as ways to make surgery safer. As she went through life, she never forgot her life as the Prison Medic Alchemist, and she always kept her mask hanging in her bedroom, to remind her of the past she took part in, in order to create this future.

Zeke and Thomas/Fang

being the famous swordsmen that they were, Zeke and Fang were welcomed additions to the Amestrian army. Though Zeke was accepted immediately, it took a bit longer for Fang, with his prior military background. The two once again became known as Claw and Fang, the famous swordsman duo. In the wars to come they were assets to combat, able to watch each other's back and slice up their enemies. Deep down, Zeke was just happy to have his brother back, and so was Fang. A family broken apart by military alliance was brought back together through rebellion.

Kain Fuery

With the rebellion over and the new government in place, General Fuery finally had the freedom to leave. His whereabouts are unknown, and his retirement unannounced. When Trevor went to greet and thank him, all he found was a note. The note told Trevor about his father, and told everyone that he was going to travel the world. Kain Fuery still sends unmarked letters to Trevor, describing his travels and keeping in touch, though it's unsure where he currently is.

Edward Elric

Edward's grave stood as it did when Anthony left. He made sure that the first thing he did when he returned was to visit his grandfather. Anthony stood in front of the gravestone for a long time, just staring at the words etched into it. Finally, he reached into his back pocket and crouched down, setting something down in front of the grave. Standing up, he smiled and quietly said "Thank you" to the stone. Wiping his eyes, he turned and began to leave.

Edward Elric's grave stood there, reading "Here Lies Edward Elric. Devoted father, Proud Grandfather." And sitting there, at the base of the gravestone, was an old family photo, and a rusted pocket watch with the lid open. On the inside of the lid it read, "Don't Forget, 3 Oct. 11."
