What was it that fell? Was it one fallen leaf Like the feather that it was? Was it freedom by choice, Or baby, was it love? Was it a thorn in your side, Something that you hide, Something you don't touch Because it hurts too much? ~ Did I force you to remember In the sacred name of love, To be brave, save the stranger, Sable on blond, Dark upon light, Because it hurts too much. Just how deep Do you hold that dream In your hands each night?
Roy Mustang: Formerly Colonel Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist. Resigned commission and turned in his watch after the disappearance of Edward Elric, and enlisted, assigned to the frozen north of the Drachman border.
When Amestris fell under attack from overwhelming and strange forces, Roy dusted off the gloves he'd not worn since the night he killed the homunculus poising as the head of the nation, and went to Central to help drive back the invaders.
It was in the middle of this battle that he and the men who once served loyally under him found themselves in the midst of ruins and strange buildings and sounds, on another world entirely.
Riza Hawkeye: Pulled out of the Academy shortly before graduation to be sent to the Ishbal front because her skill as a sniper was needed, the only reason Riza was passed up on promotion to Captain was due to her involvement in the questionably iffy situation around King Bradley.
Still ranked as First Lieutenant, Riza was stationed in Central when invading forces began to attack. She did not expect to see her former commanding officer appear, but it quickly became almost like old times again, despite the fact they had not spoken with one another in almost two years.
