Once again, sorry for the delay. O_x

After settling into Anathema with his long lost elder sister Naniko, his blood sister with who appeared to be more of a stranger than actual family provided him the means to be settled in Anathema's underground system. For siblings who had never held opportunity to meet one another nor have any significant trust, Naniko was willing to build a relationship with her younger brother she never knew. Strangely enough, while Helios was greatly cautioned by taking an offer of refuge to a place he didn't believe he was suited to be, at the same time he let destiny do what it wanted to him. The D'Angelo finally dawned upon the fate of his litter sibling, which perished in the underground of Anathema months before. It was the reason of his travels, and since his journey came to a close with the discovery, figured this would be his time to settle and make a name for himself somewhere.

Naniko gave him a shoddy map of Halifax, apparently a ruined human metropolis not far from Anathema's borders. With promise of useful tools and objects to haul back into his new den site underground, Helios took to the city of Halifax to scavenge what he could find as useful. Naniko ushered him off into the early morning to depart, for she noted it was easier in the daylight to navigate about the city and find tools easier in the light. Once arriving, Helios spent several hours wandering in and out of deceased establishments of residents, shops, gas stations, and even a public library. Gathering some books and writing tools into the leather bound pack that was slung on his shoulder, there was a particular shop at the end of a ruined street that had half a roof to it. The sunlight beamed down harshly upon what contents were still inside and exposed to the skies, mainly composed of rusted instruments of clarinets, flutes, and saxophones that didn't have use to them anymore.

A music shop. Much of the materials that were unprotected by what roofing was left was either rusted, tarnished, torn, or suffered extreme amount of water damage. There was a shelf, however, on the opposite side of the shop that housed several books that were still yellow and worn, but in somewhat better condition than the damaged ones on the other side. Acoustic guitar lessons, tab sheets to ancient ballads, and even a very acoustic guitar nearly broke in the corner, the strings frayed and the fretboard nearly snapped. Rummaging through what could be deemed useful to bring back, Helios was tinkering with the broken guitar. While it was in no shape to be played here and then, Helios hummed gently to himself as he inspected it more. Definitely something that could use some fixing, and could actually be played again with enough fine tuning and maintenance.
