Nigredo The Dark Night

Nigredo is the first step in alchemy, drawing from primordial forms. As beings who live in this world, we must find our own meaning.Gold. When some people thought about it, they would dream of mountains of Mora; their wild fantasies of riches and opulence incited by either a history of destitution, or by yearning of an unfulfilled spirit. Even many normally aloof alchemists would spend a lifetime using their vast talents in search of it.When others would think about gold, they would imagine the finest jewellery in the land, dreaming about adorning their bodies with signs of their status, pursuing social recognition through vain flaunting.When the wise look down upon this inane masquerade, they ought to laugh at the foolishness of it all.But who exactly are they laughing at?Gold holds special meaning to Albedo. As an alchemist, it is the metal that he has spends the most time studying, and as a son, it is the title of his only kin, his mother and his master.Yet, whenever Albedo thought about gold, someone else came to mind.
