1 01 The Never-Ending Journey

Atlas is dying.

Not from wounds of a glorious battle but of something so trivial and pathetic that it makes him fume with anger, "I can't die like this. Everything I have done and gone through to get myself away from that blasted island and to die of dehydration… WHY CAN'T IT FUCKING RAIN" he screamed letting out a little of his magical power.

As his voice reached the heavens, they responded unleashing a down fall of rain so amazing it tasted like candy!

Or at least that is what happened in his head.

Mouth open and eyes closed if there was anyone nearby, they would have thought he was loony.

Realizing his eyes were closed he opened them and all that greeted him was the ever-expanding heavens that mocked him.

And with another intake of breath Atlas was on the cusp of cussing out the heavens for what felt like the hundredth time, however passed out before a single word was uttered.

Do not get him wrong though, Atlas is smart.

Maybe not as smart as your above average human, but smart in his own way.

Maybe if he planned for his trip a bit more, he would have remembered that the journey across the sea is in salt water not fresh water.

And maybe he would have brought more things than just some food, robs and katana (imagine the robs and katana to be like Giyu from Demon Slayer), but unfortunately his situation at home gave him no choice but to leave without a moments notice.

And so, our hero, who one day will clash with the strongest of beasts, humans and demons, floats on towards that horizon he so adored continuing on the never-ending journey.
