This blog is under construction. Please bear with me as I put this together and get everything set up just how I like it (Yeah, I'm a perfectionist). Until then please enjoy this small interlude:

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world'sone, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange does not encompass everything that goes on here, but I still chose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price, that there's an end and a way, that the pain we work through did have a reward, and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they're expecting. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a
law of the world any more. I think of it as a promise between my brother and me. A promise that someday we'll see each other again." Alphose Elric
