“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.” Who would have thought that these simple words held so much weight? Edward and Alphonse (Al) Elric didn’t think much about this until one fateful night. Trying to bring their mother back from the dead, they broke the golden rule and paid for this travesty in blood. Edward lost his left leg and right arm to the transmogrification, but Alphonse lost more… his entire body.
To save Al’s soul, Edward seals it to a suit of armour. With help from their childhood friend, Winry, Edward gets new limbs grafted onto his body. Now with his mind set on becoming a State Alchemist, the Elric brothers go on amazing adventures and missions to find clues as to where to find the Philosopher’s Stone. Will they be able to find the elusive stone to restore themselves to their original state? Does it even exist? What would you sacrifice to bring back someone you love? This amazing anime is now available at the Harker Heights Public Library. Come check it out!
