A 5-year old Edward and a 4-year old Alphonse sleepily walked down the hall in the middle of the night hearing their parents' voices.

"H-hey, why are two up so early?" Trisha asks putting a small smile on her face and walking over to her sons.

"Al says he needs to go to the bathroom..." Ed yawned.

"Oh, so you were looking after Al." She says crouching down to their eye level, "Thank you, Ed."

Hohenheim looked at his two sons, his face softening a bit as Edward made eye contact with him.

Myra, hearing her family's voices had woken up and decided to see what was going on. Rubbing her eyes and stopping behind her brothers to look up at her father. Barely managing to suppress his emotions as Trisha moved out of the way a bit revealing his three kids staring at their father with their big golden eyes, unsure of what was going on.

Hohenheim looked away from his beloved children, closing his eyes for a few seconds to suppress his emotions before opening them again. He took one last glance at his family before turning around and walking out the door, without a word, for what would be the last time.

Even after Hohenheim left, his remaining four family members continued to live in peace in their home village of Resembool.

That's when the Elric boys began displaying a remarkable talent for alchemy. Studying from their father's books that were left in his study, just as Myra still does. She helped to teach her younger brothers so they didn't have to learn just from books. They proved to be progressing very well for their young ages. Trisha saw it all and it made her happy, and wanting to make their mother happy, especially after Hohenheim's departure, her children became obsessed in learning alchemy at their young ages. She was proud of all three of her kids and knew that they'd become amazing alchemists someday.

However, one day Trisha fell ill. She had always been the greatest source of comfort for her kids and they had done everything they could to make her smile. But her illness was inevitable and later in the year of 1904, it left the three Elric siblings orphaned. While mourning Trisha's death, Edward vowed to his brother that they'd one day bring their mother back with alchemy.

The funeral was small. People came to pay their respects, including Winry and Granny Pinako. Myra placed a hand on each of her brothers' shoulders, pulling them closer to her when they shivered. Her own silent tears mixed with theirs as it hit the ground. Myra looked around at all the people who had attended Trisha's farewell, disappointed when she realized that her father wasn't even going to come home for his wife's funeral.

The Elric siblings lived on their own from then on. Myra did her best, she did everything she could to support her brothers. She put them in front of herself and even tried to lift their spirits in the slightest after their mother's death. It proved to be a difficult task, especially since Myra was mourning just as much as her brothers were, but even so she never got very far in trying to cheer them up. She loves her brothers more than anything and hated seeing them the way they were.

As the boys began studying to resurrect their mother, they kept it to themselves. Wanting to surprise her and see their sister smile once they did resurrect their mother, Myra was left in the dark about their plans.

She noticed how secretive they were being and tried to find out what they were hiding, but the two boys hid it well. They seemed so sad and broken but whatever it is they were doing seemed to be giving them hope. Myra later decided to leave them alone after seeing the determination in her brothers' eyes, completely unaware as to what they really had in mind.

Time went on and when visiting the Rockbells one afternoon in the year 1908, the siblings learned that Urey and Sarah Rockbell, Winry's parents who were doctors sent to aid in the Ishvalan war, were killed.

Myra was horrified to learn about their deaths. Urey and Sarah were doctors who were healing the innocent on both sides. Both were kind and gentle people who didn't deserve to die so young... like her mother, Trisha.

Myra knew that this world was corrupted. She had a gut feeling that things were going to get worse. She couldn't get far in alchemy on her own. She knew that she'd need help, that she'd need a teacher if she was going to become an alchemist capable of protecting her brothers and helping those in need.

Leaving them was the last thing that she wanted. She didn't want to be separated from Ed or Al. But when she finally found someone who could teach her, Myra realized that she'd have to leave Resembool for at least a year, and she couldn't bring her brothers with her. Myra talked it over with Granny Pinako and Ed and Al. Her brothers, wanting her to become a better alchemist, encouraged her to go, trying their best to hide the sorrow that would fill their hearts once Myra leaves. Granny Pinako promised to look after them and with Ed and Al's approval, Myra left to train under her new teacher and sensei.

It had been almost a year before Myra returned home to Resembool and was now 13 years old.

"My? Myra?!" Ed and Al said at the same time as they saw Myra approach the Rockbells' house. Ed and Al were there to play with Winry. Myra had gotten back not too long ago and when she discovered that they weren't at home she dropped off her bag and had come to see if they were here. They jumped on her causing her to fall back, but the girl smiled and hugged her brothers back just as tight as they each gave her a kiss on her cheek.

A gasp caused Myra to look up. "Myra!" was what she heard before the poor girl was again tackled, but this time by Winry, who also embraced her in a hug.

"Now what's going on out here?" Granny Pinako opened the front door allowing Den to greet Myra as well. When Pinako saw Myra, a warm smile grew on her lips as she said, "Why don't you and the boys stay for dinner?" To which Myra happily agreed.

A few weeks have gone by since and things were starting to go back to the way they were after Trisha's death.

Until, Myra was kidnapped. No one knew why or by who. But both Edward and Alphonse knew that their sister was stronger than she looked and believed that she was still alive. They still wanted more than anything to resurrect their mother to see her smiling face, but they also wanted their sister back. They knew their sister's strengths and trusted that one day she'd come back to them. And maybe their mother would know how to get Myra back. Because there was no way Myra could be dead.

That's when it all happened,

Meeting and training under Izumi Curtis for a year.

Making a human transmutation trying to resurrect their deceased mother.

Ed losing an arm and leg, Al losing his body.

Falling into a depressed state.

And finally, Colonel Roy Mustang delivering news of their now deceased older sister and offering Ed a chance to become a State Alchemist to help restore his and Al's bodies.
