Charles was reading his research notes, thinking about them and about alchemy formulas and equations. He always did that if he wanted to keep his mind of something, like this mission at the moment. Perhaps he could get one of the other alchemists for some scientific discussion later? It might be interesting. He looked out of the window, did he see something? Charles looked back at his notes, not giving it any more thought.

He did not mind the long trip, as it gave him time to think. He just put his notes back in his pockets as he heard a deafening noise. Charles was thrown against the wall of the train, feeling a hard pain in his arm, perhaps he was broken. He could not hear a thing and when he opened his eyes he saw that William was suddenly in his booth performing a transmutation. Charles jumped away as the ground around William transformed into quicksand.
