I briefly mentioned this idea, and then decided to thicken it out, and now Olivia's threatening me to write it, so here I am.

I do not own FMA. At all. If I did, then Ed would drink his milk.


A 5 year old Riza Hawkeye yawned tiredly as she watched her two friends, Roy and Maes, draw something on the floor. She rubbed her eye.

"Really? This is the lamest birthday present ever..." Roy looked over at her.

"Don't be silly, Riza. This is just the outline for a present." He turned to Maes. "Do you have it?" He nodded, and they both got a double handful of sand, and dumped it in the center. They both walked to the edge of the circle, kneeled down, smiled at each other, and put their hands on the circle that they had drawn. The circle started to glow, and Riza's eyebrow raised in curiosity. Then, the sand started to rise and twist into different shapes.

Her eye twitching, Riza screamed.

Five Years Later

Roy and Maes were walking down the road that they shared with their adoptive mother. Their real father ran away, and their real mother couldn't support them, so she left them up for adoption when they were 3 and 2. When they opened the door, Roy called out.

"Mom! We're ho-" He gasped at what he saw. Maes looked around him and gasped as well. Their beloved mother was on the ground, with a broken egg near her hand. The two boys rushed to her side, and Roy gently nudged her. "Mom? Mom what are you doing on the ground? Mom get up..."


Roy and Maes went to visit their mom as she lay in bed, looking very pale and weak. She said that there was some money saved up for them. Then, the doctor said they had to go, and that was the last they ever heard from their mother...

Things were very sad and gloomy at her funeral. Soon, only Riza, Roy, and Maes were standing. But eventually, Riza had to go home. Maes wiped his eyes and turned to Roy who was looking at the ground.

"Roy? What are we going to do now? How are we going to live without a mother." Roy looked up, with a fire in his eyes.

"We're not, Maes. We're going to bring her back."


Roy and Maes were busy drawing the circle for human transmutation, when Maes turned to Roy.

"Roy? Are you sure this is a good idea?" Roy looked at him.

"Are you backing out now?" Maes shook his head. Roy sighed. "Do we have all the ingredients?" He nodded.

"Water, 35 liters. Carbon, 20 kilograms. Ammonia, 4 liters. Lime, 1.5 kilograms." Roy joined him in reciting the components of a human body.

"Phosphorous, 800 grams. Salt, 250 grams. Saltpeter, 100 grams. Sulfur, 80 grams. Fluorine, 7.5, iron, 5, silicon, 3 grams, and trace amounts of 15 other elements." Maes continued.

"They're all here." Roy nodded, and kneeled at the edge of the circle. Maes kneeled down next to him and worriedly looked at him. "Are you ready for this?" Roy nodded.

"As ready as I'll ever be." They both took a deep breath, before placing their hands on the circle.

The room was filled with a golden light emanating from the circle. Roy looked around and smiled at it all. However, the smile evaporated as the light turned a blackish purple. Something had gone so terribly wrong. Roy was snapped out of his thoughts with a yell of, "ROY!"

His head snapped over and his eyes widened as he saw Maes getting dragged into something by little black tentacles. He heard the suit of armour from the corner crash on the floor, and one of the tentacles point at him, before it lunged at his right eye. And that's the last thing he saw.


Roy groaned as he opened his eyes, only to see a smaller amount of the room then normal, and with no depth whatsoever. He closed his eyes, and his right eyelid lay flat, while the other closed in a curve, laying against his eye. Opening his eyes again, Roy slowly touched where his right eye should be.

Nothing.

His left eye widened, wondering how he lost his right eye, before the memories of what happened came back to him. He looked around frantically.

"Maes! Maes!"

Nothing.

He looked around, and saw the suit of armour that had fallen earlier. He brokenly made his way over to it, tears dripping down to the floor. He touched the inside of his eye socket, coating his finger with blood, and started drawing a blood seal inside.

"Please... I lost my father... I lost my mother... I lost my adoptive mother... I CAN'T LOSE THE LAST FAMILY I HAVE!" He put his fingers to it, the circle glowed, and he passed out.


Well, this is one of my longer chapters...
