There was a loud, glass shattering scream when Ed fired the canon. After all the action was over there was silence, complete silence. Through the hail of debris, dust and dirt there came blinding red light and the rubble from where Eve's room had been was transmuted into a giant block off to the side.
"EDWARD!" Eve bellowed as she staggerd to her feet and pulled Shara up after her. They were coverd in dust and shrapnel had made several wounds. "What were you thinking!" Eve looked angry. Shara's hand tightened around the Philosopher's Stone in her hand. Shara sank to her knees and then lay down, She might have used the stone to keep from getting crushed alive, but now that the power was gone she was even more exsausted than before.
Amidst the confusion the followed Sorrow limped away, Full Metal had gone too far this time. He didn't want the Philosopher's stone destroyed by the military brat. He'd have to ask the other Homunculi for help next time around. Even knelt down next to Shara and put her fingers against her sister's neck, feeling a slight pulse. She sat there, with tears rolling down her cheeks, to see her sister in this condition was the worst thing she'd ever had happen.

Indeed he had gone to far. In the human mind fighting causes over reaction and this was the end result of it. Edward looked down at his shaking hands. Guilt ran deep in him. What had he done. He tried to speak but no words came out; no matter how much he tried, it was a breathless gasp.
"Ed!" Cried Alphonse. His thunder footsteps came to a halt next to his brother. Ed looked at his younger brother and shook his head. "It's...it's going to be okay brother." The eldest brother's eyes seemed to well up with tears, "Damn it!" he yelled. He took off running away from the scene. Away from the problems he had caused. Alphonse made an attempt to reach out and grabbed his brother but held back.
"You can't run away like we did last time." Said Al silently. He turned to the destruction that lay before him. Had the humunculus survived was the question on mind. No one seemed to notice the creature slipping off. Alphonse rushed to the side of Eve and Shara, "Is she going to be okay?"

Eve waited for a minute or two and whiped the tears off of her cheeks and then got to her feet as a few people showed up and took Shara off to the hosbital. "She'll be fine, where is Ed?" she asked looking about for him. After she couldn't find him she sighed "Al, find your brother. I have a feeling Shara will need him." She said and walked off.
After a few hours visitors were allowed in to visit with Shara. She was wrapped in bandages in several places. She was half-consis the entire time and on pain medication. She looked horrible, the only faces she had yet to see was Ed and Al. She was awake late this night, waiting for one of them to show up.
Eve was asleep on the couch across from Shara's bed. She'd been aloud to stay with her sister untill Temporary lodging could be arranged. Shara looked over at her sister and sighed softly. "A fiddle, What I'd do for a fiddle." She said softly to herself. Shara pet Neara who was curled up on her lap and settled down to wait as long as she had to.

The door opened with a near silent creak. In stepped the figure of Edward Elric. Alphonse had found him in southern Central next to the waterfront. Since then Ed was trying to confront himself and the demons he had created. Not since the day he lost Alphonse had he felt this horrible.
The room was dark. The only light was that of the silhouette of the window that was cast upon the room. Edward looked through the darkness to find Shara awake after the incident he had caused. He tried to speak to her, but words wouldn't come. It was as if it was ripped away from his very being. "I..I'm"

Shara's eyes looked over at the door as Ed opened it and she watched him try to speak. She puleld herself into a sitting position and leaned against the back of the bed and looked at him. Shara staid silent for a few minutes and then spoke softly "Come here Edward." She said and put up a finger and beconed him over.
When he got close enough she wrapped her arms about his neck and whisperd softly to him. "You're sorry. I'm sorry aswell for leading Sorrow here in the first palce." She paused and then picked up something off of the bedside table. She let go of him and clapped her hands together around the object. There was a faint red glow and then shifted the object to one of her hadns and held out the other.
"Let me see your clock." She said and then whistled softly. Eve woke and looked up at Sahra sleepily. "Where'd you put my..." Eve stood up and took some tiny tools out of her pocket and handed them to Shara. Shara nodded and eve went back to the couch and fell asleep again.

Her grasp around him awoke the side that seemed to died. His mind began to ease somewhat because of her words. He looked at her and shook his head when she that she was sorry. It didn't matter now. Just as long as she and the others were all okay.
Curiousity seemed to jump to the occasion as Shara took the tools that her sister had given her. He tilted his head and watched, "What are you planning to do with that?"

She sighed softly and opened her right hand to show him the flat red circle, it was transparent. "I'm going to give you a present and since I'm too weak to do much I'll have to take your watch apart." She paused and then laughed softly. "That reminds me of a nice girl I had the chance to meet on my travels. She fixed my arm, what a great mechanic." Shara said with a smile.
She eyed his watch "Don't make me take it from you Ed." She said twitching her fingers and then looked up at him. It was a good thing it was dark, otherwise she knew that he'd see her blushing. He was so cute and around her age too! No wonder why Lt. Hughs thought they were boyfirend and girlfriend. She had a flash back of something her sister had said to her a long time ago and spoke it out loud. "Ni ana-i undume nánmal ten aule ni stile rye."
Her eyes sparkled when she said this and Eve's head snapped up when she heard the words. "But Shara I thought you didn't..." Shara silenced her sister with another few words "Lóre sí oselle" Eve's eyes opened wide and her mouth dropped open. Then she shook her head and rubbed her eyes and then sighed. "Fine I'll go back to sleep." Eve said grudgingly and la y back down with her back facing them.
"I wish I had a fiddle but..." Shara sighed and cleared her throat and her words rang out trough the room.
"Osána nia i melme mí i tulca elwe Osána nia i varna coile mí i mórea Tain tere i baras Lú nóra et Istaing le ava cela ana no túla un coina
Le túla an nin Le polda ar le
Ilqua ná cela no Ilqua ná cela no Ilqua ná cela no No polda

Ilqua ná cela no Ilqua ná cela no Ilqua ná cela no No polda"
When the last word ran out Shara placed her tools aside slid down in the bed and looked up at him. "See you in the morning Ed." She said softly and her eyes closed. With in seconds she was fast asleep.
((That took me sooooooooo looooonnnnnggggg.... to translate....))

Edward looked at Shara for a moment. He wasn't sure what has just transpired before him. She spoke in a language unknown to him. It was so odd. Ed turned away from her and said goodbye befor leaving her and Eve alone. Alphonse waited outside the room. He was sitting in a chair that was rather to small for him.
Al jumped up in respone to the door opening, "How is she?" Ed closed the door behind him, "She seems fine. But I think the blast might of done something to her head. She spoke in to what I think is another language or just plain gibberish." A sigh was heaved from his chest, "I messed up big time Al." The thought still weighed heavy on his conscious, even with Shara saying that it was all right.

It was about ten in the morning when Shara woke. She streched as best she could without hurting herself and got to her feet. She looked at the bedsite table and noticed the vase of flowers and a picture of Lt.Hughs daughter there. "I had visitors last night." She said softly. She changed into the clothes that had been left for her.
She walked across the floor and opened up the door and made her way out of the hosbital, ignoring the orders to go back to her room. When she finaly got to the barracks she looked at the scene and shook her head. "There you are!" Eve said running up to her sister. "You're to report to Roy Mustang.... now..." Eve said, almsot uot of breath. Shara nodded and they walked off.
Shara knocked on the door and waited untill Roy said she could come in. She crossed over to his desk and he handed her a latter. She opened the letter and nodded. When Roy said she coudl leave she strided out of the room and closed the door behidn her and then grinned. "We gotta find Ed!" Shara said and stared off to look for him.

"Edward, your actions nearly cost people their lives." Scolded Lt. Hughes, "I know that you meant well. But the fact still remains. You went overboard with your battle and nearly brought the barracks down!" Hughes stood up from his desk and sauntered over to Edward. Clapping his hands down on his shoulders he looked into Ed's eyes, "Don't let it happen again! And use your head next time."
Lt. Hughes let go of Edward and walked over to the window with his hands clamped behind him. His eyes gazed over to the barracks. Visible from Central Headquaters, "On another note: Sorrow hasn't been seen since then. He's either dead or severly injured from the fight." Edward shuffled unconfortably in his seat as Lt. Hughes finished speaking.
"I'm sorry for all that I've done. It's just..." Lt. Hughes turned back to Edward, "You're just a kid. You make mistakes just like us all. I understand. But lives to matter. Now, you're dismissed." Edward looked at Hughes and understood. He'd have to be more careful when dealing with the Humunculi. With a small grunt Edward got up and left the room. His mind still blazing with all that he had been told.

Shara watched as Ed left Lt.Hughs office and quietly followed after him. She studied the watch she'd been given and then smiled softly. She stuck it in her pants pocket along with the letter and took a few extra stepes so that she was walking right next to Ed.
"I made it" She said softly, knowing by the look on his face that he was thinking of other things. "I rather like the second name they gave me." She said and then patted her pocket. "It'll probalby never be as famous as Full Metal, but I'm sure being The Dragon Alchemist, will eventualy be knaown by someone." She said and looked ovar at him.

"The Dragon Alchemist eh?" Ed smirked, "It seems that they were rather impressed with the dragon sclupture you pulled together." He paused for a moment, "Either that or the fierce way you faught against Sorrow." All her moves followed each other with the fierce attacks like the dragons in the lost lore.
"As for you becoming famous. I don't think it will take long with the way you handled yourself out there." As they walked down the hall Ed's thoughts turned to last night. He looked out of the corner of his eye with curiousity at Shara, "Um Shara....what was with the way you talked last night? It was something I never heard before."

Shara nodded "I think the language I speak has something to do with hwere I come from. I'm not Eve's real sister, I was addopted when I was little. I guess they found me all by myself on the side of the road speaking some kind of gibberish. They reserched it and thought it was some odd version of Latin. My sister understands because she tried to help me learn to be understandable." She said with a smile.
"What I said last night was a song that I remember someone singing to me." She said and then began to strech and stop half way when her mind started screaming bloody murder. "Anyway, I came up with the idea last night that it's possible I can do alchemy without a transmutation circle as long as I have a catalyst...You do know what a catalyst is right?"

"Anything that accelerates a reaction without itself being consumed or changed." Or at least that's what his teacher had told him when he was in training. Edward has a puzzled look on his face, "What are you going to use then?"
The lessons off the past seemed to ring in his head like brazen bells. 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. What could she us as a catalyst? His gaze gently lay upon her hands. The Philosopher's stone.

"Emotion, Raw Power or the fancy new watch they gave me." She pulled the watch out of her pocked and dangled it infront of his face so he'd stop looking at her hands. She pocketed the watch and then looked over at him and sighed. "So, When are you goign to train me?" She asked openeing the dorr of the building so That Ed could keep on walking without stoping.
She could tell he was paying more attention to her than he was playing attention to where he was going and had to pull him close to her so he avoided hitting the corner of a building as they pased by. "Hey shortie snap out of it!" She said knowing that calling him short would get his attention.
