Howling Winds (Atlas)

[Atlas Steele]

"Respectful work, Kurt, Thank you for your services." Before he would turn towards the elder that came forwards before performing a second bow for the elder, as he would place his hands on his back, as he wanted to represent his little wrestling club as well as he could.

"Atlas! Atlas Steele, Wrestler from Palisade City, and I have ended up lost here!" he proclaimed in a tender tone, as he would then give a smile towards the elder.

[Zack Asiv]

"I dont know what a wrestler is, but it is obvious you are foreign to this place... Kurt... Have the winds calmed in the pass to Zekunft?"

Kurt looked to his father and shook his head.

"No, it would take a wind talisman to calm it during the windy season."

The elder would speak again.

"Atlas, the best option would be for you to head through the Canyon pass to Zekunft. Her highness Angelonia may know of your country and how to return you there."

[Atlas Steele]

Rummaging through his own items, Atlas would sigh in agony knowing that his wallet was Empty after having given away most of his money to the poor person that he met earlier before vanishing into this area as he would look sad...

"Are... Are you certain that I can have this information for free?" Atlas would ask as if he felt responsible to repay his debts before then nodding tenderly. "If I can, I will repay it whenever he can."

And when given permission he would ask for directions, he had a family at home to get back too, and protect.

[Zack Asiv]

The elder would chuckle.

"Outsiders are not a common thing for our village, so it is slightly selfish of us to ask you to leave. So consider it a fair trade. The Hunters can take you to the entrance to the canyon, but from there you are on your own."

[Atlas Steele]

"Well, Truly thank you!" He would proclaim, knowing that the deal has been made and he wasn't in a sour mood before looking around for the hunters that would take him to the entrance of the canyon.

"I'll make sure to get through this without dying so that I will not put my family or anybody that has known me to shame! Truly thank you for all the help!"

[Zack Asiv]

Kurt and the two young ones would step to the side and escort Atlas!

They go to the entrance of the village where they get a few days of rations and give them to Atlas. Then they are on the road first through a deep forest of tree's that are at least twenty to twenty five feet round and hundreds of feet tall. Luckily it goes just fine until they exit and walk a path of sand to the entrance of a large canyon. The wind howls harshly through the canyon and blasting them at the entrance.

[Atlas Steele]

Putting the pieces of rations wherever he could without them being torn away from his body with the howling wind blasting his body, he would grimace for a moment before thanking them for their information and their help.

"Thank you, I will not abandon my goal! I shall march on and find my way through this!" He proclaimed, starting to make his journey to go through this harsh, dangerous canyon however he could...!

[Zack Asiv]

As he began to move into the mouth of the canyon the small crystal he had would glow and vibrate!

[Atlas Steele]

As Atlas noticed the small crystal that was starting to vibrate, he would carefully pull it out not to lose it instantly upon a strong blast of wind striking upon himself.
He would do this in steps while keeping his pace up if he could, if not, He would just take his time to check it!

[Zack Asiv]

As he pulled it out it's glow would brighten and as if commanding the world the winds would die down to a calm breeze, barely noticeable.

[Atlas Steele]

Noticing that the winds had calmed down... Atlas would start moving down the path he was told, with his pace kept to a reasonable standard to not exhaust himself too quickly, as he thanked the gods for giving him this chance as he clutched the stone tightly, going to spend as many days as he had too to get to this location he had to reach...!

For his family.

[Zack Asiv]

It wouldn't take long before what appeared to be a couple of large boulders got up and shook some sand from their bodies, small pointed heads attached to craggy large bodies, with huge arms similar to popeyes hung from smaller rock protrusions. It's legs were nearly solid with a joint of some kind for the knee. One eye sprang to life in each of their heads as a glowing red orb seemingly floating in a hole in it's head.

As they shuffled towards Atlas on the cliff side canyon pass one of their arms would literally fall off leaving broken and crag like stone hanging from the limb. Unperturbed they pressed on.

[Atlas Steele]

Watching the golem their arm crack, Atlas would first intent himself to ignore the people that passed him before swallowing deeply and realizing that he couldn't disappoint his family.

"Uhm, Sir?" Atlas would ask the large figure before looking at the rocks on the ground, hoping they would respond as he would then speak to them. "Do you wish for me to help you by healing you? You seem kind of hurt..." As he would swallow deeply, trying to not be afraid of the large moving mass of rocks that could harm him...

[Zack Asiv]

Atlas would get a response as they continued to approach, the closest to him would heave a large arm upwards in what could only be described as an uppercut with a club shaped boulder. (Atk: 35)

[Atlas Steele]

As Atlas his eyes widened upon asking the creature for recovery, he would cross his arms in a block before feeling the solid impact overwhelm himself and throw himself backward before taking some distance as he tried to get a look at what was happening, feeling the skin being bruised and damaged already...

"Lesson learned... Rock fellows are not the friendliest..." As he would try to let them pass, to move on and then move on himself, or escape if possible as he would smile widely, realizing that this was appealing to his childlike wonder as he never saw creatures like this before...

He was fascinated beyond belief...! His mind racing as he imagined raising magical beasts himself...
