To deal with his frustration he would often go on walks into the woods often leaving for a long amount of time roughly 8 to 9 hours and at random times of the day. But one night as he walking down his usual path he had noticed something at the corner of his eye so he'd reached into his pocket and grabbed a small flashlight and shined a light on the area he'd seen the figure but nothing so he shrugged it off and kept going.later while walking felt like he was grabbed by a hand shining his light on it reveled what seemed to be to lower arms fused together form the ends each different colors, it had taken him a few moments to frantically shake off the creature and slam it into a tree, Samuel then picked up a large rock and slammed it down onto the creature, laying on the stone to use all his weight in an attempt to kill the creature. A small amount of smoke had came form under the rock, Karter slowly lifted up the rock to find some incredibly cracked gem fragments shattered on the ground So he had taken the fragments and placed them into his pocket. Later he made it home sneaking into his own bedroom and placing the fragments into an old jar, laying there awake in his bed all night. A few weeks later karter was sick of not doing anything in his parents house so he joined the army and preform adequately at basic but excelled at first aid so he had taken advance medic training.
