Alvin's Journey

"Sigh…. Alvin, I hope you're doing okay wherever you are"

This was the last thought in Elric's mind as he prepared to start off his day. Unfortunately what he didn't know was that Alvin's current situation was more dire than he could ever imagine.

........

A week had passed since separating from Elric, and at this moment it was no exaggeration to describe Alvin with the word haggard.

With dry scabs all over his body, a slight limp whenever he took a step, and a few claw marks on his clothes, Alvin could have been said to have gone through a lot this past week.

However, what was most eye-catching about him was his right arm.

Unlike what he and Elric initially expected, after leaving Hogwarts, the speed of erosion from the abyss increased at an alarming rate.
