Chapter 2: Light of Hope
''Fuhrer.. These papers needs your approval...'' said Liutenant Jean Havoc who is now First Lieutenant.
''Thanks Havoc. Please leave them here.'' replied Fuhrer Mustang while pointing in the front part of his desk and continuing reading and signing documents.
''By the way Havoc. It's good to see you back here again.'' said Mustang out of the blue, still not looking at Havoc.
''Thanks sir. If it wasn't for Doctor Marcoh.'' replied Jean.
Then someone knocked the door, and Havoc opened the door. It was Major Alex Louis Armstrong and her sister General Olivia Armstrong. Both saluted towards Mustang.
''Fuhrer Sir. We are here to deliver a message.'' started the Major.
''From?'' asked Mustang, going back to his papers.
''Message first Mustang.'' said General Olivia. ''Go Alex.''
''It's regarding the search of Lieutenant Riza Hawk---.''
''She's found?!'' Roy suddenly stood up.
''No Sir sorry... '' with those words Roy sat back again and stared at his papers.
''You can leave now if there's nothing else.'' Roy said.
''There's more Mustang. So listen.'' said the General who was sitting on the couch who was sitting, arms crossed. Irritated.
''Sir.. Some people are worried... You might be getting your hopes up and at the very end..'' Major said while looking down and having a hard time saying the message. While the Major was speaking the General and Havoc were listening.. With sad faces looking at other directions.. Just not Mustang's.
''at the very end.. You might just get more frustrated.. There's no... No actual proof she's ali---.''
''She's alive Major. Don't worry.'' said Mustang with a sad smile.
''But Fuhrer-''
''She's alive. I know it. I feel she's somewhere.''
The General can't stand it anymore.
''WILL YOU JUST CUT THE CRAP MUSTANG!'' shouted the General and banged the tea table near her. ''Look at yourself! Forcing yourself to be normal when everybody knows you are not! It's obvious! Just because one woman is missing, not even knowing if she's alive, the whole state will go down!!!''
''She's not just one woman! Riza Hawkeye worked hard for this peace!'' Roy stood up and shouted back. ''And are you trying to say you are not satisfied with my work?! Let me tell you that I have been working--
''That's not what she meant sir..'' Havoc spoke up.Avoiding his eyes.
''You have been working sir. Magnificently. Finished everythingon time, even earlier. But sir... We are just worried about you.''
''Besides, Mustang.You can't use the Mps this way anymore, you'll be framed for power abusal.'' the general said.
''I won't stop the search.''said Mustang
''GET REAL MUSTANG! THERE IS NO ACTUAL PROOF! WAKE UP!''
''RIZA IS ALIVE!"
''MUSTANG YOU BETTER WAKE-''
''ENOUGH!''
Everybody in the roon stared at the door. It was General Grumman.
Everybody but Roy who was staring down saluted.
''Would you mind leaving us for the moment being?'' said Grumman.
The two Armstrongs and Havoc saluted and left the room silently.

''Oh, good you're awake!'' said a voice to a lady with blonde hair and amber eyes that just slowly opened up.
The woman who just opened her eyes was none other that the missing Riza Hawkeye. She tried to get up but the pain from her bandaged wounds was still fresh.
''Don't force yourself yet. Your body is still recovering.'' said the man.
''Where am I? Who am I.... '' Riza said.
'' You don't remember? Anything?" blurted the man. Shocked....
Riza just stared at her hands. Trying to remember. All she can remember were flames.
''You must have Amnesia then... Well... You're here at Accalia Village. We're near the country boundary, still, this village is inside the country of Amestris.''
Riza said nothing. She just stared at him.
''Oh sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Cliff Limone. It's nice to meet you..'' said Cliff.
'' I don't know who I am. I can't remember.'' Riza said.
''Well.. Maybe these will help.'' Cliff got some things on the side table. He gave her a red earing, a gun holster, and a white glove with a red marking.
''The earing was on your left ear. I just took it so we can clean it. But the one on your right was missing. The holster was on your leg. Maybe you know how to use guns, but we didn't find any. As for the glove. The mark looks like a transmutation circle but it doesn't react when I try. Oh.. When I found you by the river, you were hollding it. Tightly. '' explained Cliff.
Riza examined the items one by one carefully. She put back the earing on her left ear. The holster by the sidetable. While the glove was still on her hand. And then she placed it on her mouth and closed her eyes. She can only remember flames and more flames.
''Oh. You're awake dear.''said an old lady who just enter the room.
''Grandma. She doesn't remember anything.'' Cliff said.
''Oh. Well, I'm Ariane Limone. Cliff's grandmother and the elder of this village. By the way Cliff, someone needs you. One of the kids got sick and needs medication. Oh, and you're more than welcome to stay at this village... You know we should give her a name Cliff. Even for the meantime.'' said the elder.
''What about Michelle?'' Cliff sugested. ''That okay with you?"
Riza noded.
''Michelle? Cliff, are you sure?" asked elder.
''Yeah. I'm going now.'' Cliff said.

''Mustang...'' said General Grumman.
''I know it's hard. But if she saw you like this she won't be happy. I appriciate what you've done for my Granddaughter but-''
''Riza's your granddaughter?!''Mustang blurted out.
''Yup. Didn't I mention it? That's why I told you to marry hr. Knowing you're a good man.'' Grumman said.
''Anyway. I pulled out the search.''
''What?!"
"You have to understand. Olivia Armstrong is right. My granddaughter wouldn't be happy if she saw you again being throwed out of your position.She wouldn't be even happy if he saw you now. In that state.''
"I understand. But I'll search for her in my own.''
''Suit yourself. I want to help you but I got to go for a trip back at the east and fix things up. I'll be there for a long time. But Mustang.. Don't get your hopes up. It's for your own good.'' Grumman said. Then he tapped Mustang in the back and left..
''Riza.. Where are you...'' Roy said. Staring at the window. It was raining.
Riza was also staring at the rain. Holding the glove tightly by her heart.
They were both looking at the same rain. But slowly the rain stopped and the clouds started to reveal light.
