Howling Winds (Atlas)

[Zack Asiv]

The rock golems would watch Atlas retreat, as the lumbered towards him. Though he would escape them it would seem the only path forward was through the rock golems, though the oasis he stumbled on would have a nice little tree sitting in the middle of the shallow pond filled with very clear water.

[Atlas Steele]

Noticing the oasis, Atlas would take a deep breath while trying to think of a plan as he ran towards the Oasis, as he was panicking, to say the least, still feeling the stinging pain from his arms as he would feel his body pulse with anxiety.
Looking towards the water, he would dip his fingers in to see if it would hurt him or help him, as he would look for options quickly.

There was absolutely no way that he could defeat these lumbering giants on his own...! Right?

[Zack Asiv]

The water felt cool in comparison to the heat rising from the stone and sand, the hair dryer heat coming from the wind, and the beating of the sun high in the sky. Once touched however he would hear a voice.

"Do you wish... To help?"

[Atlas Steele]

"Help... Yes?! Of course, I do!" Atlas proclaimed while looking at the rocks, remembering the people that lived a while back up the canyon and even more people that entered his mind.

"I am willing to sacrifice everything just to be able to help all these people, of course, I wish to help!"

[Zack Asiv]

The small now Egg shaped blue Gem he had earlier would float out of his pocket and hover in front of Atlas.

"This Canyon was once lush and beautiful. Safe for people to travel through. Due to war and powers this field was upheaved and transformed into a violent and unforgiving desert canyon. By joining with me, we can revive this old tree and begin healing this land. Know that the joining is permanent and you will gain access to new powers. If you accept reach out with your hand."

[Atlas Steele]

Atlas would listen to these comments before then simply nodding before the person could even state anything regarding permanency as he would reach out his hand.

"I, Atlas Steele have taught my students to never stop themselves to help anybody they can, there is zero reasons for any of them to abandon any person in need." He would comment before swallowing deeply.

"Even if my life is at risk, I will put my every bit of effort forwards to rescue those that need it." As he was willing beyond belief, with an intense desire to be helpful to not just everybody, but especially his family and those that trusted him.

[Zack Asiv]

As Atlas reached out and put his hand on the gem it would stop speaking as Atlas made his speech. Once he finished for a moment there was silence before the gem shook violently and push Atlas hand away.

"LET ME FINISH DAMNIT!"

The sound of breathing could be heard, but it's a gem so it was probably imaginary.

"My name is Loch, and you overly ambitious and act first think second dumb head... Will be my partner."

A very bright glow would erupt from the Gem and it would flash over to Atlas, no pain, but a nice warm fleeing would overtake Atlas. Once the light was gone and on his arm was a Blue thing that looked kind of like stone.

"Now, try to revive the tree!"

[Atlas Steele]

As Atlas chuckled at the complaint, he would hold his hand outwards as he tried to focus rather hard... Trying to recover the tree strongly before veins would pop up on his forehead, trying to do his absolute best regarding this...!

"Anything for nature, and those that depend on us...! Also, Cute name Loch." He would deliver a final chuckle with a smile.

[Zack Asiv]

As Atlas concentrated the water from the pond would rise swirling like a vortex into the air, covering the tree as it began to grow many times over. Hundreds of branches reaching out like thin fingers sprouting from an arm which grew leaves. Pulsing waves of energy would reach through the canyon causing the very earth to shake and reshape its self as huge walls crumbled, the oasis rose on a plateau hundreds of feet, sand turned to mud, which turned to dirt as the clouds above grew dark and began to rain.

The tree would reach it's full height and size as grass began to sprout, the rock golems froze in place as moss and vines grew over them as if hundreds of years were passing in seconds. When the water settled the entire landscape had changed, no longer a canyon, but a mountain with a waterfall feeding into a valley. From Atlas' position he could even see both the Hunters Village and the City he was heading to in the distance.

[Atlas Steele]

As Atlas watched all of this happen, he would take a moment to deeply breathe in before feeling like something nostalgic had happened, as if this passing, these ideals of saving and helping nature take the world back and help others was something that he had done so once in the past before slowly nodding with tears streaming down his face.

He couldn't help but feel the slightest bit embarrassed about what was happening, trying to stick to his feet as he would swallow deeply and try to talk to the creature that had attached to his arm, before simply mumbling a quiet sentence for it...

"Thank you for giving me this beautiful chance to help..." That was all he would say, as he felt that he was finally on the road to his dreams of making the world a better place as if he could help others...
As if he was finally on the path to being able to make life interesting for everybody.

Choking out a few more tears as he would keep his pace up after having touched the tree dearly once more, he would thank the thing on his arm again...

[Zack Asiv]

The thing on his wrist had shrunk considerably to a bit bigger than a sweat band, but Atlas could feel the warmth from it remains as it seems it had fallen asleep. However with Atlas's path now clear it was a straight shot to the city. There were people acting like guards walking around wearing noble styled clothing in different colors that seemed to have some sort of significance, but all carried swords or weapons openly.

Normal civilians all went about their business walking the main roads to purchase or transport goods and services. No one really gave Atlas much mind.

[Atlas Steele]

Slowly looking around for any information regarding the people that were walking around, Atlas would check the markets and nearby places for any clues on how to get back home, while at the same time gaining a small idea as he tried to channel the energy he felt earlier from the bracelet towards his own abilities, trying to see if he could find a way to improve himself...

Yet, as this was happening, watching the Civilians, he tried to think back on where he was told to go...

He would start to ask around for information regarding this highness called Angelonia

[Zack Asiv]

A large bakery woman would respond to Atlas's inquiries.

"Angelonia? The Queen? You must be new around here pal, she is the ultimate power in this land. Nothing happens without her say so."

He wouldn't find much out about the guards, except that their clothing apparently was significant to what noble house they served. Colors and style of wear seemed to be the signals. They also didn't speak to anyone except to nobility.
