Everything's Not Lost Chapter.17 – The Setting Sun

~ 5 Years Later

The sun was shining down in Risemboul, lighting up its green fields. Riza was sitting out on the porch, watching the sun begin to start setting down from behind the hills and fields.

"Look, the sun is setting," said a young voice. Riza looked down at the young boy sitting out on the lawn in front of her home, busy playing with a wooden train set. She smiled as she watched him play.

"Yes, It sure is Roy," she said. She then looked up at the sky, which was beginning to turn a dark blue colour. She remembered back to all those years ago when Roy Mustang Senior was by her side, and she was by his. For five years she had been raising his son, who was turning out to be just like his father. He was already beginning to look like him, with short black hair. He had his mothers eyes though, big golden eyes. He'd already discovered his dad's alchemy books, and it was only a matter of time before he'd start transmuting on a small scale. The thought of the future for her son made Riza smile, and she stood up, walking over to her son and stroking his hair before sitting down with him.

"Is Auntie Winry coming over?" Roy Junior asked. Riza smiled as she tried to remember if she was.

"Not sure, but we can go and visit her if you want to," Riza answered.

"Right now?" Roy Junior asked. Riza smiled as she nodded her head. "Yay!" he shouted, grinning his big wide grin. Riza smiled as she stood up, holding out her hand for him to hold as she slowly started walking down the dirt path towards Winry's house, the floods of memories rushing through her head.
