King Bradley had been present during Ed’s subsequent exam to become a State Alchemist and was impressed by Ed’s ability to transmute without a circle. Ed thought that Al could do this as well, but Al couldn’t and hadn’t experienced the same thing as his brother during the failed human transmutation. He also found himself able to perform transmutations without using a transmutation circle, just like their teacher had been able to. Mustang meanwhile was successful in convincing Ed to work towards becoming a State Alchemist, and Ed had sped up his rehabilitation after getting an Automail arm and leg to replace the ones he lost. Having not shaken Riza’s hand when Riza introduced herself, Winry shakes her hand before Riza and Mustang leave. When Winry then asked why Riza became a soldier, Riza explained that there’s someone she has to protect. She didn’t want them to take away Ed and Al either, but Riza felt that it was the brothers’ own decision to make. Riza had confirmed that she had, so Winry revealed that she hated soldiers because of how her parents were killed. While Mustang had been talking to Ed, Al, and Winry’s grandmother, Winry had asked Riza if she had shot people before.
Despite the taboo that had been committed, Mustang noted that Ed’s skills were enough to become a State Alchemist, and he presented it as a chance for the brothers to return to their original bodies. Mustang had located Ed and Al at Winry’s grandmother’s place, and when he confronted Ed about what happened, Al had apologized. Sometime afterward, four years before present time, Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye had come to look for the brothers and had found the blood stains from the failed transmutation. Realizing that he has to save his brother, Ed managed to affix Al’s soul to a suit of armor, and he had willingly given up his right arm to do the transmutation. That toll was Ed’s left leg, and the white figure reminded Ed of the rule of equivalent exchange.Įd was then brought back to the room where the human transmutation took place, and in front of him now was a monstrosity that breathed briefly before dying. Realizing that his human transmutation theory wasn’t incorrect and was simply not enough, Ed wanted another chance to reach the truth of human transmutation that had just been in front of him, but the white figure was unable to let him with the toll that Ed paid. Before he could reach the silhouette of his mother though, he was brought back in front of the white figure. On the other side of the door, Ed entered a space where his head was filled with information to the point where he thought that it was going to break, but he also was suddenly able to understand the truth. The white figure in front of him introduced itself as the world, god, or the truth, and as Ed got dragged through the door, the white figure promised to show him the truth. When Ed regained his senses, he found himself alone in a white world with a large engraved door behind him. Things started to go terribly wrong however shortly after they started: Ed lost his left leg and Al’s entire body was taken away. The two brothers had thus studied human transmutation secretly and had trained their alchemy skills under a teacher until it finally came time to do it.
Back then, their mother had praised their alchemical abilities, and when she died, Ed had been determined to use alchemy to bring her back. The reason they are after the Philosopher’s Stone is so that Al can get his original body back, and this all goes back to ten years ago. They’re going to check it out in case it’s not just some simple sleight of hand trick and is actually the Philosopher’s Stone at work. On the train ride to Lior, Ed and Al are talking about the religious leader who’s supposedly been performing miracles such as transmuting flowers from nothing.
