Part 1: Back to the Past
Alex's Pov
"No, you will not follow my footstep by becoming the state alchemist. You know it's dangerous," Ed moved hear to his son, "You are forbidden to ever bring this up again. Now go back to your room!"
"Bu-but you can't do that," said a short golden haired young man while clenching his fist. "Dad, you know that I've been dreaming to become the state alchemist. Why can't you just listen to me for once!"
"I said it is-
"Dad, just listen to me for-
"Alex, go back to your room now!"
"But dad-
"Now"
Dad's voice was cold. Then the room's temperature seemed to just dropped below 0 degree. The tension became so thick that a knife could cut through it.
"Dad, I hate you" said Alex while running back to his room. The door was slammed shut. Tears seems to fall out of his eyes. Heavy footsteps could be heard from the outside of the house.
The sky was getting darker as heavy cloud started to surround the sun. Rain drops heavily outside the house. Although it was raining, No sound can be heard coming from inside the house. The silent was deafening.
As the sun started to hide itself behind the clouds, the moon became visible as stars beginning to peek through the dark sky.
In the middle of the night, the was a sound of someone climbing down through the window. The wind night was grazing his exposed neck. Wearing only thin clothing didn't helped it. With only one letter on his desk saying "don't search for me", he finally braced himself.
Although his decision are not without risk, he braved himself and walked out into the chilly night. Leaving his family, his home behind. Only bringing his alchemy books and his bottle drink.
After walking for several hours through the forest, he found himself in front of an old house. Big enough to shelter lots of peoples. Without any money to rent a room, he decided to just stay there for several days. A bit crept out, but seeing he had no other choice, he finally dared himself to step in. As he took one step at a time, the floor seemingly creak with the force he put in.
After a few minutes exploring the place, he decided to just sleep and continue his exploration tomorrow. Then he walked into a bedroom with a single bed and a photo, a father and a son. They looked so happy together, like the sun itself was shining down on them. Then he laid down the old bed, thinking about the fight with his father.
"why can't he just understand. It's always been my dream to become the greatest alchemist, just like him," tears started to wet his face as he trailed of. "I always though he would understand."
Then as black spots started to filled his vision. He closed his eyes and then fell asleep.
Tick-tock tick-tock
the sound of clock echoed through the hall outside his bedroom. Alex was woken up by a blinding light peeking through the window of his room. Slipping through the curtain. Alex touched his damp forehead and decided to check out the source of the light.
After a short walk, he found himself in front of a strings of light, seemingly wrapping his whole body, swallowing him. He musters all his strength to cut the strings, but his struggles was futile.
Remembering his fight with his father, tears beginning to slip out of his eyes.
The the light began to swallowed his vision
"I'm sorry dad,"
then everything turned black.
