Edward and Alphonse Elric have violated the fundamental law of alchemy, leading to unforeseeable consequences. In order to correct their mistake, the brothers embark on an epic adventure through Amestris – a militaristic state where alchemy is a part of everyday life. Their only hope lies in the legend of the Philosopher's Stone, but the path to it is fraught with dangers and secrets from the past.

The Secret of the Past – The Truth About Van Hohenheim and Xerxes

The mystery surrounding Van Hohenheim is finally beginning to unravel. His extraordinary power and unusual longevity are no coincidence but the result of events that took place hundreds of years ago, during the golden age of the Xerxes Empire. But how did he acquire such abilities? What is his connection to the Father of the Homunculi, the sinister mastermind pulling the strings from the shadows?
The answers to these questions lead far into the past, to a time when Xerxes' alchemists were searching for ultimate knowledge. At the heart of this ancient civilization, a single experiment changed the fate of an entire empire—and shaped the future of alchemy itself. Hohenheim was there, both a witness and a participant in the event that wiped Xerxes off the face of the earth, leaving only a barren desert as a silent reminder of its existence.
As the secrets of the past come to light, the truth about Van Hohenheim becomes the key to understanding the battle that now unfolds. His story is not just one of survival but also of guilt, loss, and a power beyond human comprehension. What price did he pay to become what he is today? And will that knowledge help him in the fight that lies ahead?
