Chapter 1
The Tale of Atlas Dreamer 
Every day is much like the last. Children use their wings as they play little games. The flight teachers keep a keen eye on their students. Atlas was happy when he saw the little children in their school. He was reminded of his youth when he was 5-6 years old. By the time he was 15 he was an expert flyer and was already recruited to be in many jobs. He of course chose the explorer route, being the curious one of his bunches. They lived in a secluded area and only expert flyers, like Atlas, were allowed access to the outside. 
Many people feared the outside due to everything hunting them. If it were not for the importance of knowledge of the outside, and the other tribes that wanted them to go explorers would not exist. The day was June 20th; that meant it was sorting day. Sorting day determined your symbol of what class you will be, the magic you will possess, and the weapon of choice. Due to Atlas being only seventeen he was with twelve other people about his age. He arrived at the place where the sorting was held and was led to a room with the others. They were a mix of male and female with the female ratio dominating the male. Atlas never really cared too much for people but loved to examine them around himself. 
           “Thank you, so many skilled ones, for joining us on the day of sorting. Now when we call your name step on the sorting machine, and we will put you in the correct barracks. That is until you for your team.” The Loud voice informed them as they opened the metal doors. His voice came on again as it was more serious this time. “Atlas Dreamer Number 1672 please come to the sorter” 
           Atlas was shocked that he was first. He really did not know what to expect. He walked slowly to the sorter as he looked to the left of him. There were 5 symbols. An archer bows only the most diligent were put here. Next the warrior’s sword the bravest were placed here. Then the wendigo skull is most magical placed here. The moon was meant for the fastest people. Lastly the star, the star was for people with the most diligence, the bravest, the most magical, and speediest people. They are called the ultimate life form. 
Atlas finally walked on the sorter as it began scanning his body. The sorter started to light up all the symbols telling everyone that it was choosing. The anticipation of atlas’s body was building. 
           “It looks like we may have another one this year.” One of the instructors whispered to the main explorer. He nodded as he put his hand in a box waiting for the sorter to stop.
           Once the sorter stopped, all that was shining was the star. Atlas could not believe what he had seen. He was a star symbol. He was immediately taken to the captain of the star side and congratulated on his rank. 
                 Atlas was excited about seeing the people in his class. He thought they would be accepting and caring, and they were for the most part. He soon found himself in the lounging area with 20 others greeting him. One group of what seemed like outsiders stood in the back around a table. They did not look different from the others. 
The wings on their backs were much like his. Atlas’s wings were worn and had a bright white and black pattern. The other wings looked the same just in unusual colors. It looked as if they had constellations in their wings. 
           “Hey, it’s the newcomer I’m so excited to see him preform,” one person from the crowd exclaimed. Others cheered and lifted atlas in the air. Now he could see the 3 others at the table clearly. They were planning for their expedition. They finally put atlas down as they went back to their task before he got there. Now he felt alone. He had a sudden enjoyment of people then a sudden abandonment. 
           Atlas seemed a bit disappointed as he went to find his dorm in this metal cage-like house. “Room…109…Ah room 110.” He said as he walked into a clean room with a bed made. He walked to his bed and flopped onto it. The bed drifted him to sleep. The dreams of new sights and new experiences were placed into his head. He felt as if he were there flying above the trees and discovering the planet on which they reside. 
           “Knock.” A feminine voice was heard from his door as it creaked open. The voice sounded like a tiny kitten’s fur rubbing against a blanket. A lady with pink hair walked in, but atlas Could not move. He made a groaning noise to signal he was aware she was in his room. The girl giggled as she squatted at atlas’s head and started to blow slightly in his face to awaken him. Atlas reluctantly opened his eyes to see a beautiful girl in front of his face. She looked about his age and she was slightly muscular just like him. 
“There we are up and at em’ “She joked. Atlas was still a bit confused why she was there but did not want to move. He felt too comfortable to lift a finger. “So, you’re the newcomer that was lifted in the lounge, huh?” She crossed her arms and looked at him. She scrutinized him for a bit as he started to raise up. “I’m Alisha.” She was growing a bit tired of not getting a response. She huffed and headed to the door as Atlas as just waking up from his nap. “Nice to mee- “he was cut off by the sound of the door closing. “...you.” 
He got up and looked in his closet to see the same outfit that he customized. He made it before he sent in the entry for the selecting process to be sorted. It was a black tank shirt with combat trousers in jungle camouflage. He then pressed a button to see his explorer suit which consisted of the same shirt and pants, but it had a jacket with a star on its back. The outfits made Atlas smile knowing that he himself was an explorer now. Atlas soon grew bored and changed into the lounge outfit of the tank shirt and pants. He walked out of his room and into the lounge and almost no one noticed him. He felt as if he were the odd one. This feeling continued for two weeks as no one really knew this kid. In the span of the two weeks atlas had only been outside once. The policy was he could not be outside unless he had a team. He groaned at the rule and started for his room. He looked at them defeated. Not looking at where he was headed, he bumped into a girl.
