This was a request from karenjade, which I originally posted on deviantart at http://hand-made-city.deviantart.com/

The request was a scene from her fanfic http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3992723/1/The_Gate

I illustrated the scene where Alfons ends up at the gate and meets Al briefly. I recommend the story, it's very interesting! I've never read a story with that scenario before...
