Everything was perfect and ready to go. She had the transmutation circle all done. Everything was ready and nothing was gonna stop her. She was ready to bring back that happy face. Her name is Elicia Hughes and she was ready to bring her father Maes back from the dead. Elicia was nineteen years old and had been studying human transmutation for three was never told why Ed and Al had strange bodies when she was younger or how her father died. She also never knew how Ed and Al got their bodies back. She was to little during the Promised Day to understand anything that was going on. Elicia did understand that her father that she remembered from when she was very young was dead. She didn't know the horrors of human transmutation. It had been hidden from her for her entire life. No One wanted to tell her the horrible truth. Ed and Al never told her, Mustang who she had gotten close to never told her, and not even her mother Gracia did. She learned about it in a book when she was sixteen. She studied it for three years. It said there was risk but she took it for granted. She thought the worst thing that could happen would be that it just didn't work. Elicia had no idea what would happen would be much, much worse. She was in a forest about and hour away from Central. The clouds where dark and it looked as if it was about to storm.

"After three long years it's all ready to go" said Elicia. Lighting struck the sky at that very moment.

"Better make this quick. Get ready dad, I'm coming to get you." Said Elicia. She pricked her finger and let her blood drip on the circle. She then clapped her hands and slapped them on the circle. A big glow of light appeared from the circle.

"Yes oh yes it's working here we go dad" thought Elicia. She was excited and ready to see her amazing dad again. All of a sudden many shadow like arms popped out of the circle. The hands grabbed her and started pulling her into the light.

"What is this?! Asked Elicia. She was very afraid. Something was very wrong.

"This wasn't soppussed to happen!" Yelled Elicia. The hands pulled her into the light. All of a sudden the arms where pulling her through a strange place. All of alchemy's secrets right before her eyes. Not just that but all of the whole words secrets where flashing right before her. Memeries where there too. She saw so many things flashing before her eyes.

"This is it I'm gonna die here" thought Elicia. After all of the visions ended she was put in front of her Gate of Truth. In front of her was a very strange and powerful being. She was face to face with Truth himself. Truth smiled as he saw the girl in front of her. Elicia pointed to Truth.

"Who are you?" Asked Elicia. Elicia was very scared at that moment. She was more scared then she had ever been in her life. Truth smiled even louder at this question. He was ready to say his famous line.

"Who am I?" One name you might have for me is the world, or you might call me the universe, or perhaps God, or perhaps the Truth. I am all and I am one. So of course this also means that I am you." Said truth. Elicia backed away. She looked at the Truth and his smiling face.

"So now you know who I am girl or should I say Elica" said The Truth. Elica's eyes widened more to frightened to speak.

"Oh yes Elicia I know who you are Elica. Your one of the many people to come knocking on my door to find one you've lost. It was your father right? Oh yes it was Maes Hughes." Said The Truth. Elicia looked at his face.

"What are you going to do to me know? Is this the risk in Human Transmutation?" Asked Elicia.

"Oh yes didn't you know of the risk? Your punishment will be huge!" Yelled the Truth.

The dark arms came back now next to the Truth. They went and grabbed Elica's right leg.

"You chased after you father but now you've failed. I guess you won't be needing this anymore." Said The Truth. Elicia screamed a very loud scream. Her leg faded away. She starred at where her right leg just was in complete horror. The shadow arms then touched her face.

"The person you tried to bring back was part of your family. But you do have an alive family member, your mother. The one that makes the great food. Food is something you can taste and smell." Exclaimed The Truth. He then took away Elicia's taste and smell.

"This oh yes is why Ed and Al had body parts missing" thought Elicia.

"Okay it's time for you to go back. I've already took enough things away from you." Said the Truth. The gate behind her opened. The dark shadow arms came and started pulling her back in. Elicia didn't struggle. She wanted to go back more than anything. She didn't think he was lying about where she was going. He did say he was truth after all.

"For well one who has knocked on my door. Maybe one day you can become stronger and be able to get back what you lost. I wish you good luck Elicia Hughes." Said The Truth. Elicia was pulled back into the gate. She then appeared just where she was before she met The Truth. She was back in the forest in the middle of the circle. In front of her she saw a mangled corpse. She let out a loud scream.

"Why did this have to happen?! Why did this have to go wrong?! All I wanted was to spend more time with my dad! Is that so wrong?!" Yelled Elicia. Lighting struck the skies again. She was bleeding from where her right leg was.

"Elicia" Screamed ah boy from the distance. It was a boy that was three years younger than her. A boy that she had been friends with her for a long time. It was the new Selim Bradley.
