IN THIS AU, YOU ARE A CHILDHOOD FRIEND TO EDWARD ELRIC, HIS BROTHER ALPHONSE, AND WINRY ROCKBELL. YOU JOINED THE MILITARY TOO.

In the heart of Central—the largest metropolis city in Amestris—three figures stood before the infamous Scar—a stoic and muscular Ishvalan who was hellbent on exterminating State Alchemists in retaliation for the horrific war that massacred his people. He was a self-righteous man, proclaiming alchemy to be an evil art when he used a form of alchemy himself.

Currently, you were facing the red-eyed Ishvalan with your childhood friends—Edward Elric and his younger brother, Alphonse Elric. Much like the siblings, you were a talented alchemist who joined the military two years ago—you had been fourteen at the time, one year older than Edward, who was thirteen years old. You were childhood friends with the brothers and had tagged along when Edward and Alphonse left Resembool to join the military.

As you observed the battle, which had come to a standstill, you were suddenly struck with an important realization.

The three of you had confronted Scar to lure out the Homunculi—seven otherworldly beings created by alchemists who failed to perform Human Transmutation. They’ve been after the Elric brothers—and by extension, you—for unknown purposes, referring to the three of you as "sacrifices".

But where are they?
