The Rebirth of Life

Where is Naga Thaw? What was it anyway...

I was only 8 years old when the incedent happened. I first drempt of this world 7 years ago. Where did it go and why can I suddenly not sleep at night?

"Edward?! Alphonse?! Where are you?" I shout in my sleep.

Why was I _still_ looking for my non-existant brothers? What happened to Naga Thaw? Was it only a dream? Yeah, that's what it was...a dream. Every one of my experiances, are they only a part of a dream?

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!" I shouted in my dream.

"Who's yelling?" A voice that sounded like Edward's asked.

"Edward? Are you still here and alive?" I asked.
"Alphonse...he..." Edward paused.
"No, he didn't...did he?" I asked.
"Yes." Edward said.
"He died?" I asked.
"Died? No, of _course_ not." He said.
"Then what happened?" I asked.
"WE MADE KIDDIES!!" He shouted.

And...that just made me stare blankly at him.

"Just kidding, he just went back to Shamballa for a bit." Edward said.
"Shamballa?" I asked.
"You know...the other side of the gate? Oh right...you _don't_ know cause I never toldjou about it." He said.
"Tell me about this...gate...and about this 'Shamballa...'" I said.

"Well...it's kinda like this..." Edward started.

"Along time ago, before you were born Katharine, there existed two worlds, these two worlds were: Amestris, AKA Shamballa, and London, where I went when I died." Edward continued.
"So, the Gate isn't just a legend after all?" I asked.
"Nope, well...anyway, I was trying to get back to Amestris, where my brother is now, but I couldn't figure out how. So, I met some guy, he looked a _lot_ like Alphonse, hell, I think his name _was_ Alphonse. He was studying air crafts, commonly now known as airplanes, and while that was going on and all that stuff..." Edward paused.

We both looked up to see someone falling out of the sky from some kind of purplish blue light that looked like a gigantic transmutation circle.

"OW!!!" It was Alphonse.
"Dammit Al, could you watch where you make your gates?" Edward said getting up.
"Seriously..." I said agreeing with Edward.
"So Al, how was Shamballa?" Edward asked.
"Stupid Gate Babies tried to take my body..._again_...on the way there and on the way back..." He said.
"Ugh...I'm hungry." I said.
"Yeah, lets go to Animenia again, they should have your 'Naga Thawnian Special' for you, while Alphonse and I should have our mother's absolutely delicious pancakes back in Risembool." Edward said.
"I'll come too. I want to try these things called 'pancakes' you are talking about." I said.
"Cool." Edward said.
"So...do you have a state title now Alphonse?" I asked.
"Yup. I like it too. Alphonse Elric the Gate Creator Alchemist!" Alphonse said. "WOW!!! Awesome!" I said.

The Fullmetal _and_ Gate Creator Alchemists? I thought that was pretty neat.

The scene then faded slowly behind us to a dark world and then white lines made up the outlines of the world and then color faded in, inside the white lines on the black background. The world now looked like this: there was a purple ocean, the beach where we were was brownish orange (Burnt Seina or something like that) the moon was a pale pinkish purple lit up circle, no craters, just a smoothe circle; this served as a portal to Animenia. It came closer, like that one time before.
"Come on Katharine, just like last time." Edward said pulling us through the portal once again.
The world behind us faded and we were bouncing around in it, once again. The exit to the portal was like a mirror still, and we fell through it again. Once we got through it, we had angelic wings to let us hover above the ground, unlike last time. But we used them to make a slow desent into Animenia. We landed and put the wings away, for whenever we would need to use them again.

"There's Risembool now, and our house is right there. Remember? The one you fell off the wall of the first time we crashlanded here?" Edward asked.
"When was this?" I asked.
"Oh yes, set 6 years in the past...forgot that. That means, I don't need a state Alchemist Title here!!!" Edward said.
"And speaking of State Alchemist Titles, I forgot to tell you guys mine." I started.

"Katharine Elric, The Water Alchemist, Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist, and Alphonse Elric, The Gate Creator Alchemist." I finished.
"Water Alchemist eh? Roy better watch his ass when he talks to you..." Edward said sarcastically with a little laugh.
"Hah...yeah. Water beats Flame. So, where's your house?" I asked.
"The one with the light blinking on and off in the window." Edward said.

Indeed it was. Trisha was alive and well, and who was right next to her? Hohenheim of Light, AKA Mr. Elric.

"Welcome back." Hohenheim said.
"William is in his room reading up on something about the Philosopher's Stone. I think he wants to create one without a human sacrifice, he hates killing people uselessly ever since his 'Envy the Homunculus' thing." Trisha said to us.
"'Envy the Homunculus,' hmm?" Alphonse asked.
"You remember that, right mom?" Edward asked.
"Yes. But I don't remember _why_ I was a Homunculus in the first place." Trisha said.
"Heh heh...that was kind of our fault..." Edward said.
"Katharine had nothing to do with it, she wasn't here at the time, but she probably knew though." Alphonse said.
"_That's_ the story I heard when I was at my house in Icenfiel?! The one about two boys transmuting their mother and getting in trouble with the gate? And the younger brother being robbed of his body, and the older being robbed of his left leg? And the older brother transmuting his brother's soul into a suit of armor? And then the two brothers going on a quest to find some Philosopher's Stone?" I asked.
"Yup, that was us." Edward said.

So, I just stood there and pointed at them jawdropped for about two or three seconds.

"Pancakes anyone?" Trisha asked.
"Yes please." I said.
"Sure mom! Those things are so good I could just sit there eating them for hours!" Edward said.
"But you have to drink your milk with them." Trisha said.
"Fine...I'll do it...at least once, but if I get sick, I'm not doing it again." Edward said hesitantly.
"There we go Ed." I said.

So, we sat down at the table, and oddly enough, Edward drank the _whole_ glass of milk that was in front of him. What a sight that was.

"Done!" Edward said, chugging down the rest of his milk.
"Wow Ed! You _really_ drank that _whole_ thing?" Alphonse asked.
"I tried." Edward said.
"Good job Edward!" I said patting him on the back.

Later, we went and had a picnic out in the field next to the Rockbells' house.

"So, you bring everything?" I asked.
"Yup, the napkins, the food and the blanket to sit on." Edward said, still a little shocked that he managed to gulp a whole unbelievebly tall glass of milk at breakfast, all in one sitting.

So, we had our picnic, which consisted of:

Bread
Cheese
Assorted Fruit (Grapes, Strawberries, Apples, Oranges, Pears, Watermellon Slices and Bananas)
Battery Powered Juice Maker
Cookies with transmutation circles made out of frosting on them.

So we finished eatting, and went to visit Winry at her house.

"Hey there Winry!" Edward shouted over the noises of the electronics in her house.
"Oh! Edward! Hi there! Sorry about that, installing some gadgets around the house. Who's this?" Winry asked.
"I'm Katharine, from next door." I said.
"If you need anything fixed, like machanics or anything, just come on over." She said.
"You mean like...this?" I said rolling up my pantlegs.
"AH!!! Automail!!! Wait...this doesn't look like the Automail I make, where'd you get it?!" Winry asked going off on her little Automail thing.
"Naga Thaw." I said.
"Where now?" Winry asked.
"You should go there with Edward, Alphonse and I, it's a very nice place." I said.
"Who made the Automail, anyway?" Winry asked.
"Some guy named Bastion Silver." I said.
"NO WAY!!! YOU KNOW HIM?!?!? THE FAMOUS NAGA AUTOMAILER?!?!!!" Winry said going psycho over the sound of his name.
"Yeah, but too bad he's not in Animenia anymore...you could meet him." I said.
"Mr. Silver? He lives not too far from Risembool." Edward said.
"OH MY GOD!!! LET'S GO!!! IWANNAMEETHIMIWANNAMEETHIM!!!" Winry said going completely crazy.
"Fine, Edward, Alphonse, let's go." I said.
"YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!" Winry said, jumping up and down happily.

We got to Mr. Silver's house and we knocked on the door.

"Who's there?" Mr. Silver asked.
"It's me! Do you remember?" I asked.
"Princess Katrina of Nagonia...how long has it been?" Mr. Silver asked.
"Quite a while." I said.
"This girl wants to meet you, she's an Automail machanic like you." I said, showing Winry in.
"BASTION SILVER!!! YOU SOOOOO HAVE TO TEACH ME HOW YOU MADE AUTOMAIL LIKE THAT!!!" Winry shouted.
"You're Winry, I am guessing, I've heard of Rockbell Automail before." Mr. Silver said.
"You've heard of me?" Winry asked.
"Maybe not you but you're grandmother." Mr. Silver said.
"You're Pinako Rockbell's daughter, I like you." Mr. Silver said.
"Thank you!" Winry said.
"You're welcome." Mr. Silver said.
"So, can you teach me how to make that Automail now?" Winry asked.
"Sure." Mr. Silver said.

So after that, Edward, Alphonse and I had to go home to Risembool, Trisha was flashing her light in the window.

"Welcome home!" She said to all of us.
"Hey mom!" Edward said to her.
"Hi mom!" I said to her.
"Hey there mom!" Alphonse said.

We were good and tired, it was about 8:00 PM, and I just flopped down on one of the beds. I slowly shut my eyes, but then I thought I didn't, because I suddenly saw a vision from reality's eyes. My eyes suddenly flashed open, I was glad I was still dreaming.

Fading away...why was I fading away...The darkness...it consumed my mind...I am in some kind of trance...I don't know what reality is or why dreams seem so real...

I could swear...it was something complicated...like two worlds uniting...

Was it possible...

I am just maybe living in my dream being's life when I am in "Reality" and when I am here, my "Reality Self" is living my life...I doubt it...

It's interesting though...yet confusing...I see my brothers, yet I know that I have a sister, a mother and a father...superbly confusing. Seriously, do you ever have a feeling you're living someone else's life? I did...Does Katharine Elric exist? Or is it just immagination? Can I still use some form of Alchemy? Is there someone named Edward Elric in this world? The closest I've heard is Edward (Edvard is what it actually sounds like) Ehrlich. No Alphonse Elric? Truely amazing what the mind can produce...

"Christine! Are you there?" I heard a person on the answering machine ask.

At that moment, I thought I could actually hear Edward's voice on the machine, but it was just my boyfriend, who hides away the fact he is a 16 year old CIA agent. CIA agent? Come on...that's just FCU...hey...maybe in some strange way...he is some kind of reincarnation of Edward...just maybe...

"Edward?!" I said as I picked up the phone.
"No, it's John." He said.
"You sound like Edward...so much..." I said.
"If Vic Mignogna was calling you, then you could say that." He said.
"Are you some kind of Reincarnation of Edward Elric?" I asked.
"John Markel...Not Edward Elric..." He said.
"Okay..." I said hanging up the phone.

I went to my room, and noticed my Edward figure on my dresser.

"_There_ you are..." I said picking him up off the dresser.

Now the _figure_..._that_ was _most deffinately_ a reincarnation...

I then laid down to go to sleep. My eyes slowly shut. They then slammed open. I felt as if I couldn't breathe. My breath came in panting gasps. It was the shock of waking up, I suppose.

"Edward?" I said looking around.
"Katharine...relax." He said to me rubbing me on the back.
"wha...what was that..." I asked.
"I don't know, but you dissapeared again." Edward said.
"I did?" I asked.
"Yeah, but you're here now." Edward said.
"Alphonse...Where'd he go?" I asked.
"Um...Shamballa again." Edward said.
"He better not land his feet on either of our heads like last time..." I said.

[Flashback]

We both looked up to see someone falling out of the sky from some kind of purplish blue light that looked like a gigantic transmutation circle.

"OW!!!" It was Alphonse.
"Dammit Al, could you watch where you make your gates?" Edward said getting up.
"Seriously...but what the hell did you land on us with?" I said aggreeing with Edward.
"Feet, they cushion everything...'cept for a 50 foot drop like that one." He said.

[End Flashback]

"Yeah...it's been a good three years since we met for the first time. Its amazing what happens in this world. There's so much more we can do here than anywhere else. If we want to fly, we can do it! I'm glad we met. I betchya mom would like all the stories I told her about our adventures, and she would in return share her stories about dad and her friends, and enemies." I said.
"You're right, Katharine. Just think about how it would've been if we hadn't've met." Edward said.
"Its true, since we met, my life feels like there's nothing wrong with it. I'm sure brother feels the same." Alphonse said.
"I do feel the same." Edward said.
"We're true family! We're going to stay like this until we die..." I said.

It was true, just as I had said, we were together and were going to spend the rest of our days together. Eternal...forever...

After our deaths, we had spent the rest of our days together, our days were to be spent in the happiest ways. Since Edward and I weren't EXACTLY brother and sister, but considered friends, we got married, had two children, a third was on the way, and named them after ourselves to continue on the line of generation. We  were still in Animenia at the time, so even though Animenia was set six years in the past, we were still getting older, I was about thirty-five, Edward was thirty-six, and just like me, Alphonse was also thirty-five. Our parents, Trisha, Hohenhiem, Katrina and John, had passed away, leaving Edward, Alphonse and I to Edward Jr, Alphonse Jr, and Katharine Jr. I still passed down Katrina's story, and now my story to our 4,4, and 5 year old sons and daughter. I was soon getting to be old, much like my friends, now which one of is my husband, and the other, now a full fledged family member, as opposed to just friend. I hoped, while in my old age, of 79, I could have a few more moments with my children. Of course, by the time I was 79, they were teenagers, and already getting married, going off into the world. I could remember one last detail...Edward, Alphonse and I...we died the same night, same time, in the same room...

We didn't exactly go to heaven, but this was my first time seeing the Shamballa that Alphonse was talking about. We plunged through the gate, the gate babies returned Edward's arm and leg, Alphonse's body, and the two legs of my own.

"Hey Katharine!!! Slap your palms together!!! Once you see what was in the gate---ALPHONSE...YOU DON'T NEED THOSE SILLY THINGS ANYMORE..." Edward paused, and then started again.
"As I was saying, once you see what's inside the gate, your hands are the runes for the Transmutation circle. Katharine, lets start with...mmm...that!" Edward said pointing to a broken car tire with the rubber coming off.
"I'm just going to rip the rest of the rubber off?" I asked.
"You'll see what happens." Edward said pulling the rest of the rubber off and putting it next to the hubcap.
"There. All done." Edward stopped, and then started again.
"Clap your hands together and touch the hubcap and the rubber, keep it there until you see blue sparks coming out of your hands." He finished.

I did, but by doing so, made me go unconsious...for good. I then felt a falling sensation, I looked below me to find myself breaking through the dream barrier and landing in a field. It was the Linwood Park field...

"Whoa...where am I?" I asked myself.
"Christine? Are you alright? You've been missing for about an hour!" My mom asked.
"Hour?! I thought it was about two or three DAYS!!!" I shouted.
"Well, let's go home, get your bike, we don't have much time before your father goes to work." Mom said.
"Okay." I said getting on my bike and peddling into the distance.

Was the dream really eternal? No, mom said it was two hours...seems reasonable. Well...this story comes to a close. It seems I died in my dream, but then woke up in reality. I love Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric more than ever...it seems they still go everywhere with me, even though my relationships with them have ended. It seems that my life with Edward and Alphonse is over. I am just a normal everyday girl now. I see them everywhere, and I'm glad that our memories hadn't have faded away. Why? Because our memories are...Eternal...Forever...

The End
Eternal Dream Chapter 5: Eternal Forever (Work in Process) [link]

I need to list the copyrights on some of this stuff...so sit tight and be patient and wait for the story.

I used Edward and Alphonse from Fullmetal Alchemist, which in deed is most definitely not mine, in any way shape or form.

Places that I made up:

Cloudland: Cloud City from Star Wars (Whatever movie it was in) with an intense twist to it. And no, I do not own Star Wars either...
Oxigene: If you've heard of Pure Moods, then you should know where I got it from. Oxigene Prt 4...And I don't own the Oxigene song either.
Naga Thaw: I made this planet up in my dreams, and I litterally woke up saying "I'll come back to Naga Thaw tonight, I promise." Oh and I DO own Naga Thaw, so don't go stealing it, nor the name. And I made the name mean, Snake Flame.
Cloudland, Oxigene and Naga Thaw are planets.

Other Places:

Curcuitia: While playing KH2 I came up with this place. Take a guess what it was taken from, did you guess Space Paranoids? Well...I of course don't own Tron, Disney owns that.
Animenia: I was being lazy with the name, so please excuse me...well anyway, this plays a big part in parts 2, 3, and 4, and that's all I'm telling you. I own Circuitia and Animenia, but not Tron.

People:

Jin: My character Princess Katrina of Nagonia, Cloudland's father, a Naga.
Lita: My character's mother, an elfin warrior I own her and Jin.
Princess Katrina of Nagonia/Katharine Elric: I own her...she's like one of my only four characters I own.
Edward: I changed his story around and Hiromu Arakawa owns him not me.
Alphonse: "" (Ditto above)
Envy (Appears briefly in parts 2 and 4): I do not own Envy either...Hiromu owns..."It" In my opinion: Envy is neither a He nor a She, so I classify Envy as an "It"...yes...an "It"...

Oh and Three other Characters That I don't Own:

Mithos Yggdrasil: I don't own him, I can't remember who owns Tales of Symphonia...
Kratos Aurion: Same as above.
Krugen The Unmercifull:
