Bab 583: 583. A changed Dragon
They came to the village where the Elric brothers now lived, Resembool. The countryside was as nice as always. Still green and natural.
Even though Alexander's reforms brought lots of money into people's pockets, he had also introduced environmental protection laws from the start. So, no forests were being destroyed. All the companies that needed wood were strictly ordered to plant 5 trees for each one they cut. So, even if all of the 5 don't survive, it still gives 1 or 2 new trees.
"Ajax, what did you prepare as a gift?" Alexander asked him.
"It's a secret, Grandpa. But I assure you, it's very big and will help Ed a lot." Ajax replied.
Alexander chuckled and didn't ask further.
Soon, they came to the house of the Elric brothers. It was decorated with some white curtains and a nice modest altar was made.
Hohenheim was seen directing the people on where to put flowers and some decorations.
"Haha, it seems you have turned into a full-time mother now." Alexander joked.
Hohenheim turned around and greeted Alexander with a smile. He was really grateful to him for giving him some of the best years of his life.
"Well, I am their mother and father both, however, I do feel like I'm more of a mother when it comes to handling them," Hohenheim replied.
"Good good, I'll help you," Alexander said, and picked up and a huge white marble pillar made for decoration.
"Where do you want this?" He asked. Instead of using magic or some trick, he was using his own hands because Alexander knew that this had its own charm and felt more memorable.
Hohenheim didn't act reserved and worked with Alexander.
Meanwhile, Ajax ran into the house.
"EDWARD... ALPHONSE... I'M HERE." Ajax shouted.
*BAM*
Suddenly Ajax heard a metal dropping sound behind him. He turned around and saw the old Alphonse's armour.
"Hey, Ajax." Alphonse's voice came from it.
Ajax was shocked. "What? B-but didn't you get your body back? Don't tell me you did it again..."
"What are you saying? I'm yet to find a way to get my body back. I think you must have dreamt something." Alphonse argued.
Ajax took a few steps back. "No no... I'm 100 per cent sure. You're messing with me right?"
"What do you mean?" Alphonse kept the act going.
Soon, Edward also joined. He had a metallic arm. "Oh, hey Ajax."
Ajax nearly cursed, "What the... I need to find grandpa."
As soon as he ran out of the building, Alphonse and Edward burst into laughter. Alphonse got out of the armour and Edward detached the fake metal arm.
"Brother, are you sure this was the right thing to do? He will surely have his revenge later." Alphonse asked.
"Heh, what can he do? At most call me short? But I have grown taller now." Edward replied confidently.
"Well, you are still not tall enough," Alphonse replied. He was taller than Edward.
...
In the afternoon, the ceremony happened. Winry and Edward sealed the deal with a kiss. Ajax didn't leave the chance to embarrass them by whistling loudly.
After that was the cake cutting. Ajax also brought him a present. Although these 5 years were very bountiful for Edward in terms of his height, he was still a little shorter than Winry.
"Behold my gift. Edward, I know you hate milk so I brought you this. A 100 KILO BOX OF POWDERED MILK." Ajax announced, which made almost everyone laugh there.
"Thank you Ajax, I will cherish this a lot," Edward replied while gritting his teeth.
Ajax laughed loudly, "Hahaha... I was just kidding, Ed. Congratulations on your wedding and I got my dad to make this for you. This is called a magic finder. You need to put the hair of the person you want to find in this compass and it will point you to that person."
Edward was truly interested in this object. He understood that this instrument was not made with Alchemy. By now, the highest-ranking Amestris people and some close friends knew Alexander's identity.
"Amazing, thanks, Ajax. I will cherish this present for the rest of my life." He gave Ajax a hug.
Ajax then went to Winry, "Here, this locket is for you. I got my sister Amy to make it as beautiful as possible."
He moved closer to Winry's ear and whispered, "It will always tell you in which direction Ed is and how far away."
Winry chuckled and looked at Edward, making him shudder.
"What did you give her? I feel cold for some reason." Edward asked.
"Oh, nothing. It's just a locket." Winry said with a smile. In her mind, she knew that with this she can pinpoint where Edward is at any moment.
After that, the dinner was presented. Hats brought some neighbourhood cats to get them some treats as well. In his mind, he was their king and needed to keep them happy. Among the cats, there was also a little potato-sized puppy, Chappy.
In the last five years, Chappy stayed in Phixheim and due to the slow time there, he hadn't grown much. Olivia had told Hats to be a responsible father to him because he was the one who brought Chappy with him.
Alexander stood beside Hohenheim while he looked at Edward and others laughing.
Hohenheim emotionally said. "I never thought I'd be able to see such days. Being able to be a part of their happiness is a big honour for me. I remember that when I had discovered what the dwarf did, I used to pray that if there is a god, then please help me."
Alexander patted his shoulder, "Karma may take its time but it is inevitable. The dwarf got punished for what it did. Now, you should stop being so sad and just enjoy the time you have. Go, talk to your kids. You will probably become a grandpa in a few years time."
Alexander pushed him to go. Iroh came to him with a tea kettle. "Want a cup of tea, my friend?"
"Haha, when did you ever see me say no? Come, let's sit and enjoy this evening." Alexander happily made a table for himself. Soon, Dobby, Ragnarok and Leonidas also joined him.
"So, Ragnarok, how much gold do you have now?" Alexander asked.
"Not much, I used most of the gold I mined here to help poor families in this world. I was surprised at how underdeveloped this planet is." Ragnarok replied and sipped his tea.
But his words had shocked them all. When did the dragon divorce gold?
"Then, let's cheer for our favourite dragon," Alexander picked his cup.
