"One more time to escape from all this madness

One more time to be set free from all this sadness

And one last time to be the one who understands

My soul and my spirit will go on, for all of eternity."-My Spirit Will Go On by Dragonforce

Well this is the last chapter, the story has come to an end. It was a wild ride let me tell you, and it was great to get back into writing again. I'm glad I got to write this story, to tell my own story of recovery through it. I thank you all so much for staying with me through this journey, you've all been great.

Anyway these lyrics are meaningful, story wise and personal life wise. I've been listening to a lot of Dragonforce lately and this song seemed to fit pretty damn well.

Well anyway guess this is goodbye for now. I'll most likely begin to work on Scattered once again and finish that story. I'd like your opinions on what I should do though, so please take the time to answer my poll on my profile. It would be much appreciated.

Thank you all so much for the favs, follows, and reviews. They really mean the world to me.

Thanks for reading and cya all later!

My Spirit Will Go On

Silence stretched on, interrupted by a small cough. The brothers looked up to see the colonel standing in the doorway, eyes focused intently on them both. It was impossible to tell what the man was thinking.

"Edward, I want you to know that you have my help as well. I truly care about the both of you and want you to be safe." Mustang walked the short distance to the end of the couch. Before Ed could say anything Roy had sat down beside him, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Ed spoke sincerely, swallowing what was left of his pride and accepting the colonel's help. Hell without him Edward would be frozen outside.

"You're still so cold." Roy stated, glancing quickly at Al. "Could you make him something warm to drink? Make it sweet as well."

Alphonse nodded and slowly stood up, looking at his brother with calm eyes. Ed watched as his brother crossed the room and into the little kitchen.

"It's really coming down out there." The colonel remarked, head turned towards the window. Ed followed his gaze to see that the outside world had been reduced to a white haze.

"That it is." He said, suddenly very aware of how close Mustang was to him. The man beside him was so warm…

Almost as though he had spoken this out loud the colonel suddenly pulled him closer. Ed let out a small gasp that ended in a sigh. He nervously buried his head into Mustang's chest, wrapping his arms around the man's neck in order to get even closer.

The colonel flinched from the cold presence beside him but didn't push him away. Instead he lowered his gaze until onyx eyes met gold.

"I almost lost you today…" He broke off, taking a deep breath before continuing, "Don't you ever try to pull a stunt like that again."

Ed let a small smile cross his face, listening to Al finishing up in the kitchen. "I promise I won't do anything that dumb again. I've learned my lesson."

"Good." The colonel said, turning his gaze towards the kitchen as Al walked in with a steaming mug. "Though I think I'll stay the rest of the day to see if you mean it. Hawkeye and the others shouldn't mind."

"Okay." Edward sighed, taking the mug Alphonse was handing him. He nodded gratefully and took a sip, recognizing the flavor of hot chocolate on his tongue.

"Oh, and colonel?"

"What is it Edward?" His voice was suddenly tight with worry.

"Thanks for saving me." Ed locked eyes with the man and saw the worry change to something softer.

"No problem, just work on getting better." He nodded and focused on his mug, taking another small sip. For once in his life Ed felt content. He let a small smile part his lips, locking this moment away, tucking the memory deep into his heart.
