October 3, 1911
Ed POV
We watched as our house went up in flames.
Al and I did this all so we would have nothing to come back to once we finally set out on our journey to get our full bodies back.
With all the power I was now given as a state alchemist, I now had the funds and the materials to begin researching a way to reverse the consequences given to us for our stupidity.
I looked on without crying as I watched the dancing flames leap high into the sky. Winry was a reck, but I couldn't place why.
I just kept watching as the place I loved, turned to ash on the ground before me. Unflinching, unfeeling.
Once the flames died down, Al and I would leave and begin our research. We would need to see Mustang for a way to start.
For now, we would watch the flames, "Winry quit crying." This only made the tears running down her face worse.
Finally, it came time when the flames died away and left a scorched skeleton of wood beams in its place. The home we once had was gone.
There was no turning back now. We had nothing to come back to. No photos, no memories. No turning back from our chosen path. Nothing will stop us from getting our bodies back.
I looked to Al, even though he couldn't show his emotions, I knew this hurt his as much as it hurt me.
"There's no turning back now," I said and he nodded. "Come on, we should be heading to Eastern Command, Mustang is waiting for us."
And so we left to go to the train station. I wouldn't admit the pain I felt from the smouldering ashes.
While at the train station, I looked at the watch and carved into it, Don't forget 3. oct. 11 and sealed it shut with my alchemy.

Hey, I know this chapter is short, but don't worry, they will be getting longer soon. I just thought it was important to add this into the story.
Love you all,
