Epilogue

Dear Cali,

I hope this letter finds you alive, because I'm going to be mad as hell if you were caught up in that damned human war.

I'm doing well, my ward and I are down south, way south, with his new wife. Yeah, I know, that bean pole got married. It's pretty crazy, I still can't believe it. He's got a good heart, really, I wish you had stuck around to see that. I've got to say, getting hitched really settled him down. He's completely different from when you met him, hell, from when I met him.

We moved into a nice little house by the sea, and let me tell you, the sea is amazing, it's nothing like the legends we heard growing up. There is this weird stuff called 'sea weed' though, I heard you can eat it but I'm not about to try. Mostly it's slimy and wet and gets caught up around your talons.

The woman, Trisha, she's set up a clinic here. We get stuff like food, and this one time chickens, in exchange for her looking after the people. The chickens are a nice touch, nothing like fresh eggs. Kimblee's taken on a few odd jobs, like things that need demolishing, but he's got a steady contract with the mining town over yonder coming in. He's going to help them dig some tunnels in a month or two. While we're waiting for that to come through he's become the 'local alchemist'. Apparently his kind are hard to come by, for some reason since everyone here is on the rune system. I don't ask, I just try to keep him out of trouble.

He's started to teach me some of this alchemy stuff. I'm trying my hand at making some glass out of sand, and I'm not half bad. Still, I prefer my water magic. Feels more natural. It's hot down here, though, so you won't see much ice from me these days. That's okay though, I think that bastard's starting to melt my heart a bit.

Alright, enough of that sappy crap. I miss you, sis, and I hope when things settle down in Amestris we can see each other again. Until then, know I'm thinking of you, down here in the sun.

And this book is done! The sequel will be up by next year, I just want to get some stuff done first. Like some more chapters of Clockwork Exorcist, Marvelous Adventures of Magpie and the rest of the chapter art for this.

This was a great ride for me, and I hope it was good for you too. Peace out!
