Epilouge

So that's pretty much it. Now we all live happily in Resembool. The repairs have fully been made, and it doesn't even look like Envy had passed through.

 

I (eventually) had to tell Winry about the kiss, and she freaked. "So what's next? Marriage?" she asked. I blushed, not even denying it anymore. "Maybe. I dunno."

 

Al and I work hard on my alchemy training everyday, and I think I'm getting pretty good at it. Soon, I want to register to Colonel Hawkeye and see if I can become a State Alchemist. If I can, I'm sure that I'll gain some more courage. But until then, it's back to hitting the books for me!

 

Not a day goes by here in Resembool that I don't think about everything Ed and I had been through. A slave of love, I had thrown myself through fire to keep him safe. A slave of guilt, Ed had let the flames eat him alive then spit him back out time and time again just so he could live another day. He's strong, and I think that's why he's made it as far as he has.

 

I visit Trisha's grave more often. I wonder what she would do now, now that her sons are both grown up. Maybe she would be proud. Maybe she'd be worried. I guess we'll never know.

 

Ed and I's roles were reversed for the last time. Ed was now the one protecting, and I was the one to look after. Being a new girlfriend is a first for me, so don't judge! Anyways, I realized truly why people in Germany believed that Resembool was Shamballa. It is a paradise. I live in the ultimate paradise, with swaying trees and crystal waters and friendly neighbors. If I lived in Germany, I would want to go to the better place too. I can't imagine being anywhere else. Everything makes sense now.

 

X really does mark the spot.

 

Resembool.

Shamballa.

 

 

Resembool X Shamballa.
