“I’ve made countless legends throughout the history of time, but none seems to be able to stay with me.”

Deep in the catacombs of a forgotten kingdom, on a deep cliff the scream of a young boy echos against the crumbling walls.

“AHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.” Breathing out heavily as Alphonse felt the world pushing the air out of his long, he descends down to what seem like an endless abyss. Feeling despair with each passing second, tormented by the countdown to his death. Alphonse life flashes before his eyes as his mind tries to deny reality. Remembering when he first found an iron sword in his fathers closet; the time his sword class began in the summers. The last summer where he return to his home; only to see nothing but ashes and burnt corpses. The tears he shed and revenge he swore to the end of the world.

“I CAN’T DIE LIKE THIS, NOT UNTIL I GET MY REVENGE!” Screaming out of rage he grabs his sword by his side, twisting his body to search for the closest wall.

“CLANK!” Alphonse attempted to stab at the wall to try to slow his descent.

“CLANK CLANK CLANK” Tears and eyes bloodshot vein he thrust his sword to the rock wall.

“CLANK CLANK CLANK swish swish” Swinging his sword many times that his arm felt like it was going to break off, until he notice that he was hitting nothing but air.

“SPLASH” Alphonse slammed into the water, dropping the sword to the dark water. Unsure whether all any of his bone are still intact after the impact, immeasurable pain spread over his body and limbs. Struggling hard to push himself back to the surface for air. Yet what should have been an easy distance for him to cross, felt like eternity of coldness and pain. Thinking yet about his unresolved goals and resentments, he found strength to persist on to the surface of the dark water. Bursting out of the water Alphonse gasp for sweet air, while puking out the waters that almost drowned him. Staring out at his surrounding, he figured that he fell into a cavern lake with light moss growing against some walls. But with all of his strength drained from swimming to the water surface, the cold water seeps its claws inside his body. Slowly losing consciousness the last thing he heard was a splash of water just some distance away.

“Boy, it seems I have taking an interest to you now. Whether that is your good fortune or bad luck is to be seen. Well, first I have to deal with some business first before I can play with my new toy.”
