Journey to the Diamond City

For someone like William Cadmus Helios struggle and difficulty were not just normal but expected. Surviving in an arid hellhole desert while fighting off bandits and raiders were just another part of his childhood. But things had changed for the fledgling Quincy. While in the past even during times of difficulty he could manage to still wake up every day knowing if he put his mind to things his body would be enough this was no longer true for him. By losing an arm in battle William was now facing a grim reality without access to his full capabilities. He could survive sure, but thriving would be near impossible for him.

The gentle sea breeze blew across glinting streets as William's nostrils were filled with the scent of salt. His golden hair and pink scarf gesticulated frantically as the wind sped up momentarily leading him to head into the massive sparkling city before him. Wanting to avoid further conflict while recovering William chose the Stadt des Lichts as a good location for respite. It was especially convenient because it was the current capitol city for his ancestral people the Quincy. If there was anywhere in the world he could both fit in and be safe it was the City of Light.

Having not replaced his signature jacket William's left sleeve flapped to and fro as he walked down a busy street littered with people going about their busy day. Once again he was in a city far bigger than any he'd been in before and struggled to grow accustomed to the hustle and bustle and so William sought out a small triangular park with much more space to relax away from it all. Plopping down on a bench William grimaced from pain forgetting just how badly he had been beaten. Every wince and groan was a reminder of just how much he would need to improve to survive in this ridiculous world outside his homeland. Whether he found a new home here or would once again take to the road William was unsure, for now he would simply enjoy the nice day and familiar smell of the sea. With a sigh he sunk down into the bench seat and relaxed, ignoring the fact he now qualified to receive disability benefits from the government.

A ripple of emotion came at him, something dark and on the border of depression, something of a person who had lost part of themselves and was trying to find their place in the world now. Carter blinked twice to clear his head and put down his data pad, The Unification will need to take a few minutes off of study while I investigate this. He thought while looking around. To his golden eyes nothing was amiss except for the one armed quincy sitting with his back to him on the bench near by.Before the next wave of emotions even hit he knew this was the individual that was struggling with their situation. The way he held himself was one that was unsure, his shoulders were lop sided as his body was trying to subconsciously adapt to the loss of the limb.

He could hear a slight groan as the man moved, a groan of pain. The wound was still new, very new. With nothing more than a nod he finished his coffee and placed the payment on the table he had been sitting at before collecting his data pad and walking toward the man. To the untrained eye Carter would appear as nothing more than a young teenager, almost on the cusp of manhood but still with child like features and he wouldn't give off a single hint of power, his angelic half hiding his true power from the world. For all purposes he was just a kid, and with that he smiled and turned to face the man while making himself sound out of breath, " Sorry to bug ya man but care if I sit here too? Long jog, took the wind out of me. need to rest." He said before placing himself next to the man without waiting for his response.

Once he was settled in he looked at the man's jacket with his sleeve flapping a bit in the breeze, "Name's Carter, what's yours? How did you lose your arm? were you born without one? Sorry that was rude, mom told me to watch what I ask people" He said, acting embarrassed for his questioning but in reality trying to get a fix on the character of the person next to him before he decided how to proceed.
