"No one holds command over me. No man. No god. No prince. What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal? What is a claim of power for ones who defy death? Call your damnable hunt. We shall see who I drag screaming to hell with me."
Life was inexorably dangerous. That went without saying, but things seemed to be rather calm at the moment. Skies were a pale cobalt blue, slate and a bit overcast with grey smudges dabbled on here and there. Wisps of clouds, barely visible shifted as the bright sunlight brightened the atmosphere. The rays were strong, bright, but there was little warmth in them as a drafty wind blew from the north. Fall was at the doorstep, crouching and watching with piercing eyes, for the right moment to strike in it’s brilliant pristine glory. The breeze brought with it a clean, scent of wheat and dry dirt. There was also the sharp, distinctive and faintly masculine scent of dewy pine. Sunlight bounced off Golden grass, as the wind stirred the dry leaves that were laying around on the floor. Overall, it was peaceful, and relatively quiet save for sound of songbirds. ”Damnit!” the growl was loud and broke the tranquility, causing small birds to fly, alarmed into the air, their small shapes black as they glided off to other areas. The curse was uttered scant seconds before a large splat as mud spewed in all directions. Glaring balefully at the constricting mud, Atlas picked up his paw with a gurgling sucking noise coming from the mud, as if it were reluctant to let it’s victim leave. The black pelted male had set his forepaw down in annnoyance. It was sunny an dry out here so why in the world was there still patches of mudd around?
Grumbling under his breath, he surged onwards. He was intent on joining one of the realms sooner or later, and thus was headed around its boundary. Disconcerted and with a good reason to be, he wondered what had caused the sudden idea of settling down come to mind. Somehow, he felt as if the land had called to him, beckoned for him to stay and live in it as it flourished. Even the damned mud hadn’t dissuaded him, which was unreasonable, due to the fact that he was well-known for being restless and traveling. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother plowing through the mud tirelessly just to join a stupid pack. It was a clear challenge from nature though, daring him to decline. Naturally, he had accepted, always up for a challenge, the harder and more dangerous it was, the better. On days like this, he wished he were back to being the small, emaciated and practically weightless runt. Ironic really, considering he had craved a large, muscled form and a sufficient amount of weight for the majority of his lifespan. Now that he had it, he was often complaining about it. Atlas didn’t mean what he said of course, knowing full well that being large and being small each had their own advantages and disadvantages, but nevertheless, he enjoyed annoying people, and complaining about trifling matters was a sure way to do it. Relentlessly, he surged through the ankle-deep mud, eager to get to his destination. Whenever he lifted his foot, murky water quickly replaced the hole, as mud slowly filled it back up again, hiding any trace that he had gone through here.
Atlas finally had pulled free from the ruthless mud and was now facing what seemed to be a tree in the middle of the large field. Good… he thought, irritation slightly subdued by the fact that he noted the ground was rather firm as he tested it beneath his paw, pushing down. It was still a bit damp, but not as much as that patch of oozing mud had been. He trotted over to the shade of the tree and shook off the mud that clinged to the bottom of his coat. His back rested against the tree and his eyes closed. His pawpads were killing him fromt hat long and...messy walk and he figured a little rest and he would be on his feet again.
Saffire padded further into her lands and sighed to herself. The gloriously blue sky shone above her treds and she started to feel as thougha weight lifted from her.
She scented then, some new scent,a male scent and traveled towards quickly until she came close to the black brute. she saw the watery markings and the bodice of the new comer and stepped forward her famgs only slightly bared she made a welcoming sound and then spoke. " your steps are welcome brute. So clearly you are not shima bred but still spy you may be. Why do you tred upon my lands." she enquired.
[center]The Blackish blue ears of Atlas flicked as the sound of paws kissed the ground. He turned his head to face a female. He backed up a little bit and looked at her and kinda turned his head a little bit. He licked his lips and then lowered his frame to the ground and flattened his ears back agasint his blackish blue skull. The tips of his ears were dipped in a soft blue color. His eyes were soft colors, his eyes went from a soft blue and faded into white. His attention was drawn to her voice as he heard her spoke. She must have been the alpha.
"A spy never, do not have the training to become one m'lady."
His voice was soft and very clear. His ears were still flat agasint his head. Where his paws were water began to form under him. He looked at her once more and still just knelt there. She seemed like she was troubled. He rose some and looked at her and then heard her ask why he was here. He turned his head nad looked back to where he had come from. He took a deep breath and then lowered his head down.
"A pack that turned their backs on me and a mate that killed my friends. I wish to join a pack that will accept me for who i am. My name is Atlas"[center]
Saffire's auds listened, they flattened as she could see the pain flicker through his mind and she sat. all thoughts of spies soon passed. " my name is Saffire Flmaeknight. I am alphes of these lands. It is a pleasure to meet you Atlas." she said softly and nodded her maw to him.
Atlas' ears flicked forward and then back as he sat there and heard her voice. He then stood up and bowed to her repectfully. He then looked around and folded his ears back. He was hopin that his friend Avalance would have been here by now. He then turned to the female and sat down and laid his tail down next to him and just looked at her. He was curious about this wolf. He then looked at the water and began to pull the water from the ground and make it swirl around him.
He laughed and then shook his head and the water fell the ground splashing Atlas. he shook his face and then looked at Safire and kinda smirked some as he sat there just looking at her. He then turned his head and looked towards the pack lands. He was sure that he was going to be welcomed into the pack lands but how sure was he. He looked over Saffire and knew that she was of fire blood, he was of water blood.
" so indeed" saffire answered. She stood a little and smirked as the earth below her paws whisped with tiny flames, none of which scorched the ground.
She spoke then after her watching and smiled at Atlas. " what is it you seek here, Shelter, company? a pack perhaps?" She gave a little smile " or maybe you are just passing" she stood and flicked her tail with little flames fluttering out and dying in the air.
She liked htis male, there was not a threat, or so she was sure, from this brute. He was definately not of shima blood, the water in him was testement to that but would he be anyhting more than just a pack member?
Atlas looked at saffire and smirked some as he sat there and watched her play with the fire that she had. He turned his head some at the sight of fire and shuddered some. He then heard her voice run threw his ears and he turned to face her and took in a deep breath and spoke once more
"Shelter, freinds, company, a pack, some place to protect"
He said as he sat there. He wanted to prove himself to others that he was not weak, that he could do everything that everyone else could. He looked towards where the water was and walked over to it and steped in and watched as the water creeped up his leg and swirled around his body. He looked back at Saffire and smirked
Saffire smiled. " well then. I welcome you. I have several friends who are also of your kin, Water Wolves,"she smiled and joined him at the edge of the water, tapping the water with her paws slight steam came of of it. " welcome atlas" she stated with a slight glint in her orbs.
Atlas closed his eyes as he stood in the water. He missed his freind Avalance. He could see his friends body just layin on the rock from the flal off the cliff from his mate. He snarled a little bit as the memories flashed threw his head. He then threw his head up into the sky and let out a sad howl. He slowly ended the call and then looked at Saffire once more and smiled some.
"I am glad"
He said as he was rather glad that he wouldnt be the only water wolf in the pack. He would hope that he would make a new friend. He then sat down and watched as the water washed agasint his black coat and made his blue markings look like they were swirling in the water. He watched his fur carefully and begant to focus on it.
Saffire could feel the pin in Atlas' song and dropped her maw when he sang. Once he'd finished she lifted it again and listened to his words. A little confused at his words of glad feelings she looked on. " i feel you wish some time on your own," she stepped back. " should you wish to talk i shall be over here." she turned and padded back to where she'd lain before. If he needed to talk then she would be there for an alphess always listened to her pack.
Weather
Autumn has come to the lands of TFO, bringing with it all the changes of the season. One thing that hasn't changed is the hot, dry weather.

Average temperatures of 18 to 20 Celsius
Game Condition
Poor. The hot, dry weather is wringing the life from the lands.
Breeding No Birthing Yes
Plot
Water and blood form a loose alliance in hopes of over throwing shadow, because of this..Fire and Shadow form a tight elite team to invade and over throw blood and water from the inside out. This causes a large explosive amount of chaos thus creating an all out kill all war where everyone is against each other and no one is safe. So everyone is supisious of each other, no one knows if they are from their own clan or are a spy
