Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something
in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those
days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only,
truth. ¡X Alphonse Elric Edward and Alphonse Elric were children
living in Resenbool. Their father left them when Edward was
young and Alphonse was a baby, so their mother takes the job
of taking care of them. During the time, Ed and Al studied
Alchemy, and it turn out to be success. Years later, their
mother died of a mysterious illness. And so leads them to
the thought of reviving their mother, they find a teacher,
and studied with her, and finally one day, they used their
father's note and try to revive her, but they failed, Ed lost
his leg and Al lost his whole body. Desperate not to lose
his brother, he sacrificed his arm and transmute his brother's
soul into an armor. State Alchemist Roy Mustang arrived and
request Edward to become a State Alchemist, so Ed told his
neighbour Winry Rockbell and her grandmother to make an automail
for him, in order to become a State Alchemist, and to search
for the philosopher's stone to regain what they have lost. |
