Sitting down upon the leather sofa Elfi tried to hold in her curiosity over what the Colonel was going to tell them. The sun was just starting to set and all three Elric siblings, one Winry Rockbell, and Thalia were waiting inside the main office of Colonel Mustange. Reaching her hand down she clung onto Winry’s free hand while slowly running her foot down Thalia’s back to give her a slight petting.
Said Wolf was lazing in content as said foot ran down her spine. In all her years as a wolf she had to say that these last ones had been a big eye opener for her. Without any questions of a doubt Thalia had opened up a lot since she became the creature that she now was. Not just because she didn’t mind having sex with a dog but with people. Before she had always felt like she was being forced in so many different direction and no matter what she did she would piss someone off. But ever since she became Elfi’s eternal companion she didn’t feel that need any longer. Maybe it’s because she no longer was in the Mythological world but she doubted that was all of it.
Don’t even get her started one what being pregnant with a little of pups was like. Then she had to be stupid and do it again! Yeah, she could be stupid at times no doubt about it. But she would never trade the experience if given then opportunity. She had come to love her kids and even though they had moved out and into the homes of other families in Resembool, she was always glad that they were there. Although the little shits sure liked to bite when they were nursing and it only got worse as they aged. Even now she still got phantom pains in her nipples from the little mongrels.
At the sound of a door slamming everyone was drawn out of their individual thoughts and focused upon the Colonel as he sat down in the chair across from them. He wasn’t smiling but he didn’t have that hard look in his eyes like earlier in the day.
“Well I have to say, you three have definitely earned your place amongst the State Alchemists today.” Taking a moment, he handed each of the Elric siblings a manila folder. Flipping it open Elfi saw that it was her file. There were all sorts of medical records and other such thing inside it but her eye was focused on one select form.
Name: Elfriede Elric
Age: 14
Codename: Silent Shadow
Work station: East City
Not caring who saw her, Elfi pumped her fist in the air before smiling at the Colonel which he returned. Peaking over her little sisters shoulder she noticed she was staring at the same form as she had been.
Name: Allie Elric
Age: 12
Codename: Red Angel Alchemist
Work Station: East City
Figuring she might as well take a look she snuck a look at her twin’s form when he was distracted.
Name: Edward Elric
Age: 14
Codename: Fullmetal Alchemist
Work Station: East City
“I hope the code names are alright with you. We don’t really get to pick them but it is possible to request for a new one up to a week after you join the service. Trust me on this, they could have been much worse.” The colonel shuddered at a distant memory and Elfi wondered just what kind of name would make him react like that.
I’m fine with mine. Although Allie’s kind of makes here sound like a crazy person I think. Then again, she does have her moments.
“Hey!” Said girl pouted at her before crossing her arms under her bigger bust just to point out she was bigger. Internally Elfi was planning revenge for that slight at her lack of much development. Curse little sisters!
The colonel coughed lightly to get our attention once more, although they could see the amusement in his eyes. He handed out another folder toward the three girls, completely ignoring the fact that Ed was right there. Said boy was starting to get tick marks on his forehead.
“These are a few of the places that we have managed find that fit your requirements for lodging. Sadly, there were only two of them but I think that you’ll like either one of them.”
Instantly the three blonde girls flipped open the folder to look over the first one. It was a two-story building right downtown with a basement. The ground floor was the shop area and had a bedroom down there for clients. The basement was a partially done up and really it would act as something of a storage unit if anything. Upstairs was what really interest the three of them. There were only four bedrooms and a small office and two bathrooms.
Frowning a little Allie thought it over. It had some of what she was looking for but it was missing a lot as well. She guessed it would work if they absolutely needed to but she honestly would prefer something else. It didn’t help that there weren’t all that many windows so they had to rely on electricity to light the place up, which would raise the monthly bill by a lot.
Handing that form over to the others she moved onto the next one. The second her eyes landed on the photo she fell in love. For starters, it was on the edge of the city, so there weren’t cars driving by all hours of the day. It was a little bizarre in shape but hey, they were the Elrics of Resembool. It looked something like a regular house but the room was a dome shape. To make it even better said dome was actually a giant sky light made of super sturdy glass, so it won’t break easily. Inside was even cooler.
For starters, every room had its own window, unless it was one of the bathrooms. There were even enough bedrooms for Herself and Winry in one, Allie in another, Ed in the furthest from them, one for Hohenheim, Thalia if she wants one, and a final one as a guest room for patients. To make it better there were three full bathrooms in the entire house, so she highly doubted it would be hard to find an open one. There was even a big office that was big enough for the girls to use as they pleased. Ed would have to use his room if he wanted one. The kitchen was run off gas but that was okay. And all to end all, the property came with around 4 acres of pure yard that they could play in. Elfi could already picture all the sunny days where she would be laying out under the sun just soaking up the sun without a care in the world.
Rather reluctantly she handed the form over to the others and almost instantly they fell in love with it like she did.
I think we’ll take this one. Although I thought you said the military would only look into an apartment? This is a full-blown house! How will we pay for it?
The colonel smirked at them but she could tell her was a little embarrassed.
“Well it was going to be but we couldn’t find any that were within the militaries budget. So, we started looking at houses and these were the ones that we thought that you would like the most. Given that there are a few of you and your Automail shop this just works out easier.” He paused for a moment to collect his thought and went on, “truth be told, many Alchemist use part of their research budget to buy property so they have a place to live. Once you purchase it the deed is in your name and the government can’t take it back, although if you don’t keep up with the taxes the bank might try. Shouldn’t be too hard with your pay let alone all three of you.”
“Oh/Oh” all three girls gave the same stupefied answer and that only seemed to make the Colonel to smirk even more.
“Of course, the military may contract you to build Automail for injured soldiers. So, you’ll most likely have a client base either way but this way you’ll get a little extra.”
In her own mind Elfi couldn’t believe their luck. Money, housing, and all the benefits of being a State Alchemist. She was more than sure that life had just gotten even more exciting.

Standing inside the dome section of her house Elfi slowly put away her books. Call her weird but she was enjoying the slow day without anyone inside the house. Ed was off in some lumber town doing a routine check for the Colonel while Allie was hard at work studying up on the specifics for common disease and other such things to develop new Alchemy circles. Unfortunately, for her, Winry was off talking with the supplier which made it so they couldn’t have any one on one time. Oh well nothing she could do about it. Then Thalia was being her usual self and was lazing outside in the sun.
Humming in her mind she shelved each book where it went. They had been in the house for a few months but it was very rare that she got a chance to just sit back and do what she wanted to. Most days she spent time decorating the house, creating blueprints for requested Automail that one of the Brigs guys wanted commissioned. She was so bored actually that she wished she still had her voice so she could try singing some songs from her life as Persia. Say what you will about that world but it had some really great music.
Emptying one last box of books she headed outside and sat down next to her dozing eternal companion. Looking at her Elfi smiled at the female wolf. She must be around the average size of a wolf by now but it was her appearance that still stunned most people that saw her. Her fur was still the purest of white but the black pattern that had once rested upon just her head was ever so slowly moving a crossed her body. At the moment, it covered her entire head and a part of her shoulders but for the time being that was it. Then there were her eyes. They were still the striking blue as they were as a human but now if one looked much closer they would see brief streaks of white lightning shooting around her blue eyes. It was kind of cool but Elfi had to admit that she still liked her old eyes the most. Then again who wouldn’t like dark green eyes with specks of amber?
“So, have you started making any headway on what you want to do about the Homunculus problem?” Jumping in shock Elfi started down at her friend, she could have sworn she was asleep.
Going back into her thoughts she remembered what had happened just little over a month ago. Whatever the reason a man(?) named Envy had showed up at her home when everyone else was gone. He spoke of the man he called father and his plans for Amestria. A nationwide Alchemy circle to sacrifice its people in order to become a god and open the Earths Internal Gate. She still didn’t know why Envy had told her what he did but she was going to have to trust him, especially when she looked into the baths around the country. It also helped when she found a human transmutation circle in one of her Daddy’s old books that told of the death of Xerxes. It was rather eye opening to say the lease.
I don’t know to be honest. Ed would have us go charging in without a single thought to the people around us but I don’t think that’s a good idea. Maybe I should take my notes to the Colonel? I’m sure he could help me figure something out.
Running her hands through her friends fur she wondered just what she should do and the consequences her actions might cause. There were so many possibilities that she just didn’t know what to do. It didn’t help that it was rather obvious that the higher up in the military knew what was happening but just how far did their ideals stretch? She knew that there was a chance that the Colonel was in with them but she didn’t think so. He may be a bit of a jerk to Ed but he didn’t strike her as someone that would kill an entire country, especially after being a soldier during the Ishvalian Rebellion. Grabbing onto her braid she pulled it in frustration.
Thalia stared at her during all this and wondered just what her best friend was thinking. She knew that the blonde girl could work under pressure but she seemed almost lost in this situation. In all the years of knowing the reincarnated girl she had never been indecisive as she was now. Could it be that fighting against titans were rather simple to her compared to finding a way to save an entire country with just a few people that might not be trustworthy. Actually, that would make some sense to the wolf. In one life, she knew who she could trust because of her actions gaining their undying trust. Here she was just one of the many with no true connections besides to her family.
“Do what you feel is best for everyone, Elfi. We both know that your gut is usually right in these kind of situations, so just go with it. As bad as it might sound, we will always move on so just try your best and hope it’s enough.”
The wolfs words may be true but it hurt to hear them. Elfi didn’t want to leave this life yet. Call it selfish but she wanted to actually be able to see her future kids grow up this time. She still hurt inside that she never got to see her babies in her last life and in order for her to see at least one of them here Amestria simply HAD to survive.
Sighing to herself she nodded to her friend she decided what she was going to do.
Thank you, Thalia, you always know what to say.
Thalia gave her a bark for old times’ sake before licking her face. Elfi laughed but didn’t fight the other girl off her, it was what she needed to get out of her funk. Picking up her notepad she summoned up her shadows before disappearing like she had never been there.

The second her shadows dissipated Elfi found herself standing in the colonel’s office. His team were all hard at work going over various pieces of paper, not one bother looking up when she appeared out of nowhere. Strolling forward she gave three firm knocks on the Colonel’s private office door with her automail arm for good measure. She heard some shuffling and some rather colorful grumbling from beyond the door.
With a sudden yank the door was pulled open to revel a glaring Colonel Roy Mustange. She met his dark eyes with a smirk of her own and wondered if he’d say something embarrassing like he usually did when he saw her outside his door.
Sighing the man pinched the bridge of his nose before stepping back and held the door open a little bit more. Quirking an eyebrow, she moved right past him, and his desk, before plopping herself down into his chair. Giving a little twirl of the chair with the help of her feet and the desk she let a bright smile flash upon her lips.
She was interrupted in her fun by the colonels infernal growling. Coming to a stop she looked at him and smirked at him which only irritated him even more.
In a barely controlled voice he spoke up, “What do you want Elfi? I don’t have any more of Hawkeyes cookies, seeing as you ate them all!”
Letting out a silent giggle Elfi remembered that day as a happy memory. Apparently, the Colonel had been stepping up on doing his work around the office and Hawkeye was rather proud of her longtime friend which ended with him getting a dish full of absolutely delicious Chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately, for him, he left them out in the open and she had been feeling rather deprived of sweets. Long story short she ate them and he was still mad at her for not even saving him one. The rest of the office, including Riza Hawkeye, had a laugh about it.
Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind she quickly explained to him what had happened with Envy. She explained of the shapeshifting man’s desire to see the end of the man named ‘Father’ and his control over all of Amestria. She explained as much as she knew, which wasn’t much, but it was enough to warn the man about the corruption of the Fuhrer and his main command.
The Colonel slumped down into one of his spare chairs with a calculative gleam shining through his eyes. Neither one of them moved for a few minutes but when they did it was minimal.
“I’ll make a few calls with some associates of mine and we will get something happening.” His eyes locked onto her own, “Your job is to keep your siblings out of anything that is about to happen. We don’t need kids fighting these battles for us. And that is an order, understood Silent Shadow!”
Personally, Elfi didn’t not like her orders one bit. Well obviously, she didn’t want them to fight but in keeping them away she had to stay back as well. Pushing her distaste to the back of her mind she nodded in acceptance before disappearing, with the man’s chair, into the shadows once more.
At first Mustange didn’t realize what she did but the moment it clicked he exploded.
“DAMNIT ELFI!! GIVE ME BACK MY FUCKING CHAIR!”
If anyone walked by the office space of Colonel Roy Mustange all they would have heard was the roar of laughter from his team and the grinding of the Colonel’s teeth.
*_*
It took three months of continuous bloodshed and death but eventually Mustange was able to cleave his way through to the Fuhrer. It also helped that once the truth escaped of what the Fuhrer was trying to do a vast majority of his soldiers joined the rebellion.
With the combined efforts of the State Alchemists, minus the Elrics, the rebellion managed to kill off the homunculus known as father. Of course, before they could kill the creature they first had to eliminate Lust, Wrath, Pride, gluttony, and sloth. Envy joined Greed’s little gang of chimera at the Devil’s Den as a full-time Waiter/waitress, he liked to go back and forth every other day.
Hohenheim came by to visit every couple of months, although Ed is still as stubborn as usual. He actually moved back into their old home in Resembool and had given up on Alchemy to work as an amateur inventor. Not many of his ideas work but some did, although Granny Pinako likes to yell at him for such shoddy engineering.
Allie on the other hand eventually became the head doctor at the hospital in East city. She ended up pregnant when she turned 25 when she went out to the bar with some friends and got intimate with one of her coworkers. Fortunately, with some heated glares from Elfi towards the man involved, they got married before the baby was due. They shared an apartment downtown with their child.
Edward…well he lives out in Rush Valley now. The last thing they had heard he was getting married to some girl that had tried to steal his watch. Elfi didn’t even want to try and figure out how that worked out.
Elfi and Winry? Well they still lived in their home just outside of East city with Thalia. Every once in a while, they would get a visitor, mainly Allie or the Curtis family. Elfi eventually settled down and left Alchemy behind like here daddy and focused on Automail along with Winry. Speaking of Winry, the second everyone moved out of their house she become a bit sex crazed. Given how much the girl wanted it, not that Elfi didn’t enjoy it, it wasn’t any surprised that she ended up pregnant long before Elfi. They ended up with two boys and one girl together before they decided to settle down entirely. Most of the time Elfi was stressed beyond recognition with her girlfriend and then wife going back to back pregnant three times in a row. Now wonder everyone at Camp Half-blood were scared of her, cranky pregnant girls are scary!
She was around the age of forty when Elfi passed away. It wasn’t in fun way either. An old member of the Fuhrer Bradley’s party managed to escape getting captured. He attacked her one day when she was out shopping for groceries to take home for the week when he appeared out of nowhere and unloaded two chambers of a rather old Shotgun into the back of her head. Her brain matter ended up splattered all over before her body even touched the ground.
