| : On his return to the Adders' Nest, he was reunited with an old friend, Brandon. William hasn't seen him since his family moved back to Ishgard since the calamity. He returned to Gridania to start his adventuring life outside of the walls of the Holy See. He has joined with Tyler and Alex in a recently form free company known as <i>The SSL Knights</i>, mentioning it has several benefits to newcoming adventurers. William thought of it as a good idea to join with, seeing that he would be with his friends when adventuring. Returning to the Adders Officer who assigned him the task, he handed over the magicked blade. The officer told him that there has been an outbreak of disturbed elementals near Spirithold, southeast of Bentbranch that needed quelling while the officer investigates the status of the blade. William asked for Brandon to tag along with this excursion and they traveled to the location. William zoned out for a moment upon approaching Spirithold and had a short vision of robed mage wielding the magicked sword. William snapped back to reality with Brandon trying to get my attention. They proceeded forth to find a ginormous golem form within the stronghold.Brandon and William struck at it with all their might, but the Golem knocked Brandon up against the wall, pinning him. William swiftly took the golem's rear and unleashed several arrows into its back weakening the golem's grasp both on Brandon and it's life force. It soon crumbled to pieces. As William retrieved the core from inside the Golem while Brandon went outside, William briefly noticed the robed mage muttering to himself before disappearing within a fraction of a second. | | : On his return to the Adders' Nest, he was reunited with an old friend, Brandon.

| : He initially took up archery in his first weeks as an adventurer to execute his plans swiftly and agilely. One day they were tasked to clear out the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, yet it was no picnic. Tyler had also taken up learning arcanima, yet the magic did not suit him well enough to sustain the party easily. Once William learned all he could with archery for the time while his mentor was out of town, he ran into the head of the conjurer’s guild. William discussed his issues of late as how his party lacked a proper healer and E-Sumi-Yan proposed a life changing decision: efficiently learning conjury. E-Sumi presented William a weathered conjurer’s wand and felt the aetheric Magic pulsing. He thought back to his mother's own wand he had held onto when he started adventurering. He showed E-Sumi the wand already in his possession and he had a blank look on his face. He recognized the wand immediately as William's mother's wand and warned William that the wand was already bound to his mother's spirit and won't work well for him. William heeded his warning and placed his mother's wand back into its case. | | : He initially took up archery in his first weeks as an adventurer to execute his plans swiftly and agilely.
