Chapter III ~ Enferius

8 long years have passed since the death of my twin brother, Edward Judd. I managed to pick myself up with the help of my friends, Alvaro and Winifred. They were like angels, illuminating me with their friendly light, opening my blinded eyes to the world. I began to smile again, though it wasn't as bright as it once was. True, my new freinds took off all the weight, my sorrow, off my heart, but no one will ever be able to make me forget the painful memory of the loss of my dear brother. It's as if its now part of my heart, my being.

I was 14 years old back then. Life kept moving before my eyes, as if nothing happened. Yet, so much has occured during 8 years of my life. Barely a year since my brother's fall, my parents seperated from each other, however, they didn't divorce. I shocked me quite, though it shouldn't have surprised me. I should've seen it coming. They fought more and more oftenly, over the smallest thing. It tore my heart hearing them yell at each other at night, while I was alone, in my room, their voices reaching my ears as tears ran down my face. And what better day to leave the house than shortly after my 8th birthday? Yes, just after I finished opening my last gift, the one my mother gave me, she left the house with her luggage at hand. My father said that she would return soon, a pathethic attempt to confort me. I didn't believe one single word he said. I said to myself that I would never see my mom again. Yet, a few months later, on a saturday, my dad took me to where my mom was living. At least she was still on the island. It was then that they told me their plan: I was to be with my father during the weekdays, and after with my mother on the weekends. And that's how life resumed, going from one place to another. I felt as if I was living two seperate lives.

Painful weights kept sinking in my heart, nevertheless, I could always find confort in Alvaro and Winifred. Over the years, those two became far more than just my childhood friends. They came to be part of my family, they were my brothers. I won't let anyone bring harm to them, I won't let anyone take them away from me, I won't let anyone rob me of my guardian angels. I promised myself that, and yet, one day...

My father and I went to the St-Lawrence river. A gleam caught my attention. A gleam in the river. As I got closer, I discovered a beautiful golden bracelet. It had three crimson gems on it, I couldn't resist the temptation of taking it with me. Of course, I never imagined the eternal torment and suffering that small thing would cause me. A red glow. It was the last thing I remembered before I found myself lying on a lone land, a desert. I was taken to another world, a different one, where the science of Alchemy had triumphed over physics. It will be here that my life would change forever more, to the worst, into a nightmare, which I will never be able to wake up from...
