when I was very, very young, my father felt the need to go away from my brother, and I and we lost out on, never really knowing him after the defeat of the homunculus and the fascist military government while I was recovering from severe nutrition, deficiency and fatigue I was also grieving the death of my father he passed away, kneeling in front of the grave of my mother, smiling, but after losing so much, unlike my brother, I couldn’t feel satisfied with his death. I felt the need to explore, and while my brother and I saw it to research and established new our chemical principles I also searched for traces of my father in the world what you seek will find you and find me he did while spending time in Jane. I found myself unraveling the mystery of my father‘s ghosts and legends the deeper I unraveled the more pieces of him I found hidden include locations all around Zheng journals of all sizes and types hidden with alchemy from the years I had discovered literal pieces of my father. I began transcribing them and sending copies to my brother Ed not only did we learn about our strange, dead father, but we gained invaluable knowledge and history of the world of history and alchemy and of our wonderful mother along my journey through the eastern part of our world. I got to know May deep deeply, and we became vowed to one another, and then married as we traveled I began to compile the saga, combining my own journal entries from travels my brothers entries his wife’s entries, as well as my wife’s entries my research on the history of a master and account of the reparations and restoration of Iqbal by Roy Mustang and Louisa Hawkeye history, visual teachings of Vila by the Israel, monk the word of Vila from the profits new mystery military rollings contributed by fear Grumman with various authors, my brother and tales of the restoration of Xerxes and most importantly, the thing that inspired the saga my father‘s journals, I felt we couldn’t keep all of that knowledge to ourselves. Our father was meticulous in his writing and recording of the world as if he felt it was the one thing he can contribute of value that knowledge should belong to the entire world, and in an awful act of hubris I made the decision that my family‘s perspective was worth laying down for history next to my father‘s, and the compiled his histories I was able to find the following is a shameless self preserving act over explaining my reasons for inclusion of each part of this saga, I include my entries out of chronology preservation of all the various pieces of information. I juggle here I include my wife’s entries because she is a brilliant stress and adds helpful expansion on the history of her country and all its practices and I love her I include my brother‘s entry is primarily because he is my father son, and my father‘s journal injuries are the backbone of his collection. He is also a brilliant alchemist that saved our country and then taught himself architecture and started a design company while traveling in the west my sister-in-law is the foremost, auto male engineer in the world. Her entries are her records of earning that title, as well as history of auto engineering and auto knowledge recorded nowhere else. My country has a violent history of colonization and genocide, I believe it’s my responsibility as an Istrian to do everything in my power to write those wrongs so I also consider Ival an important part of the world to Chrono as did my father in his own journals. IOL can’t be properly recorded without recording its history and cultural, religious beliefs, and the foremost teacher of both these things agreed to be recorded in written in text. I also wanted to include the efforts of the peoples of new am to repair these evils so there is a record of the reparations and restorations programs and projects as well as the military rollings to change the nature of our country itself. Finally, I included the restoration of zel because this is after all my father‘s world, and that was the place he joined it a final note concerning chronology I chose not to honor a straightforward chronology because my father was a storyteller and I think he might appreciate my artistic license to rearrange things for content and drama. bye dad thanks for all the gifts.
