Epilogue

::::Falling::::

He was not going to do it. He did not know how, he was a coward and he admitted it, but that didn't stop him from his thoughts. He starred at the mass of water far below him. People off the streets screamed at him, but he only turned to them and smirked. 'They would never understand' he thought. Edward than turned back to looking far down below. He thought how this entire idea had occurred to him.

Winry had died not even a year ago. He had watched it helplessly. Winry had been walking in front of him when it happened. His brother Alphonse had been acting strange at the time before and he had not noticed. Winry had noticed it though, but she kept quite about it. By the time, she was going to tell him, it had been too late. Edward had been too blind to see what really went on until the very end.

In the end, Edward had to endure the pain of killing, or destroying his own brother. The suite of armor had gone to its previous state and he had raced Winry to a nearby hospital as quickly as possible. She died that night.

Edward had only gotten away with a few minor scratches compared to what Winry had endured. His arm still hurt from where it had been crushed and broken. When Winry died he had seen her before they had brought her body to the morgue. The image flashed through his head and he cringed as his soul cried out once more in pain. He tried to rid himself of the image but he failed. He remembered seeing her wide-open and lifeless eyes and her blood stained chest. That image was burned in his soul and always would be for the rest of the days he chose to live.

He had nothing to live for now. The State would only use him, Alphonse was gone in the most brutal way, and so was Winry. Aunt Pinako had been died before the two; he was still trying to recover from her death at the time that Winry died. Edward had refused to talk to anyone since the requiem for Winry and Alphonse.

He sighed looking down towards the deep water. More people where beginning to gather around. Some of them he even recognized as Military officials. Some of those Military officials stood starring at him dumbstruck. He smiled weakly at them and turned away. His red coat fluttered in the wind around him and the cool breeze hit his face softly. He enjoyed that very second of life for the moment opening his eyes to look at the view. The sun was just beginning to set. "Better get this over with," he thought.

He scooted to the very edge of the railing and looked down again. The wind threatened to push him over now, but he was not sure why he resisted. He shook his head. He had decided this. There was no one here for him now; nothing in this world. Anger rose in his heart as he walked off with one swift movement and quickly fell foreword and strait down. The crowd that had gathered around him gasped and screamed hysterically.

Edward could feel the wind hit his face hard as he watched the surface of the water come closer and closer. Before the last moment of impact, he silently closed his eyes. It was all he could do to avoid the pain that came with his decision.

The impact was strong and as hard as concrete. It sent Edward unconscious. That would not have mattered anyway as his body soon began to sink below the waters surface. The last thing he managed to do before he died was looking up at the surface of the water. He watched the sun hit it just right making it shimmer above him. He smiled knowing he would see his loved ones once again and with that closed his eyes and he quietly drowned.

………………

A few days later

……………

The Military officers worked searching on the banks of the great river. It flowed freely under the bridge; the bridge that Edward Elric had fallen off the day before. They where searching for his body.

Roy Mustang was among those officials. He was stunned at the very notion that a 16 year old like Edward would do such a thing, or even think of such a thought such as suicide. He shook his head and walked to a secluded part of the shore of the river where military agents where not searching. He sat on a log that had fallen half in the water and on shore and thought.

He sighed as his thoughts only turned into hurt feelings. Suddenly he noticed something red floating on the shore and stuck between a cove and another fallen tree in the water. He walked towards the red object hesitantly and looked away at what he saw before him at that moment. He than silently grabbed the edge of the red object and pulled on it dragging it out of the water. It was Edwards's jacket. Attached to the jacket was Edward's body. He starred looking over it and slowly lifted the body out completely. The once lively and eager Edward was soaking wet as his hair dripped down Roy's front. Roy could not contain himself as he dropped Edward's body and stumbled backwards his head in his hands. Crying out, other officers heard Roy and ran towards him in alarm. They paused in stunned silence at what they saw. Roy looked away and walked back to the vehicle they had come in. He ordered the men to take care of the boy's body. They did as told although they found the task quite unpleasant and heart breaking, especially to those officers that recognized the boy. Roy sat in the back seat of the car waiting to be driven off as he silently grieved for the loss of another of his friends and one that he had secretly admired.
