AN: Well, here it is: another story.

To nobody in particular: This story will contain a lemon at some point in the future (unlike most of my work thus far), it's a first for me but I'm looking forward to it. That's it.

To the guest who goes by the name of Deflow: Sorry for making you wait so long. Next time, if I'm taking to long, feel free to let me know, it works as extra motivation. I'm still not sure how to work all of it out story wise, but I'll manage. You'll notice I've taken some liberties when it comes to writing the story combined with your ideas and things. I hope you're not mad or anything, if you are, just let me know, and if you have any other ideas, just let me know too. I hope you like it and again sorry for being late...

The things written in the desert sand

"Have you heard? The wolf queen will be leaving Tellius soon. She has decided to return to Hatari."

"Hatari? The land of the golden roads and crystal palaces? Such a wonderful place that must be. I can't imagine why anyone would ever leave such a paradise…"

In the very beginning, there was only Tellius. The lands stretched further, but the only place that had a name was the continent Tellius, the cradle of life. This was where the Zunanma lived, the race that was both human and animal. The goddess of Dawn lived amongst her children and everything was at peace.

Unfortunately, peace could not remain forever. The Zunanma changed, both in form and in mindset. They evolved into two different races, Beorc, humans blessed with wisdom, and the Laguz, humans with the ability to change into a beast, amongst who were various tribes. And both races fought each other.

During the large war, there were three tribes of Laguz, who saw that there was no place for them left on Tellius and chose to travel beyond the border of Tellius. The first tribe to leave the continent of Tellius was the tribe of the Kitsune, a mysterious tribe from which still is little known today. They crossed the Grann Desert and finally settled in the desert sand in a land they called Hatari.

The second and third tribe fled across the desert later on during the war, when their numbers had dwindled too much to survive on Tellius. These were the wolf tribe and the eagle tribe. When they reached Hatari, the Kitsunes welcomed them in their lands and the country was ultimately founded on cooperation and trust.

During the rest of the war, many more fled across the desert, although these fugitives only came in small groups, since no other tribes desired to leave Tellius. Where the whole continent remained at war, the habitants of Hatart, although their lives were not easy in the desert, were happy and all people of all races lived happily and equally, under the reign of the wisest of Kitsunes.

Even so, the goddess Ashunera, the creator of life, could no longer see her children stand against each other and she flooded the world. Only the continent of Tellius remained dry. This act brought the Beorc and Laguz to stop the war and they established borders in order to try and keep the peace.

In Hatari, this flooding came suddenly and most of the land became sea. Most of the people of Hatari were saved by the Kitsunes, who strengthened the highest mountains of sand with their natural knowledge of fire. They placed all people on these high mountains, but while saving their people, most of the Kitsunes drowned and only a small fraction of them remained.

When the goddess had seen what she had done by flooding the world, she rid herself of her emotions and became too separate beings; Ashera, the goddess of order, and Yune, the goddess of chaos, who both fell in a long deep sleep. And unless war would not be fought upon the whole continent of Tellius for a thousand years, Ashera would awake and destroy all life that was left.

Although the flooding itself was not undone, the water level decreased to some degree and the whole land of Hatari was once again left dry. Although they had suffered a great loss, the people of Hatari went on living. The flood had left behind a river that crossed their lands, which would provide them with fertile soil every year after the seasonal flooding. The remaining Kitsunes gave up their remaining power to the nobelest of wolves and under their reign Hatari became prosperous, becoming known as the land of golden sand. They were said to live in houses that shone like crystal.

These were the last tales of Hatari to reach Tellius, after which Hatari became a legend and after that a fairy tale after which it ultimately became completely forgotten. The people of Hatari had not heard anything from the continent of Tellius since the flooding of the world and they started to believe that they were the only survivors of the flooding. Tellius became something studied by scholars through ancient manuscripts.

Although it may believe otherwise, this isolation did Hatari good. Where people on Tellius were almost always at conflict, although war did not ravage the whole continent, the people in Hatari did not fight amongst each other. Race was unimportant. Although most royalty still consisted of the most full-blooded of them, powerful positions were distributed on the basis of ability and everyone was happy with this way of doing things.

Only a rough eight hundred years after Hatari had forgotten Tellius did someone dare to go out in search of land beyond the desert. Although there have been and will be hundreds of people who attempted to cross the desert, some successful, some not, but none of them documented, the first attempt after the passing of eight centuries was that of Nailah, Queen of Hatari, with only her loyal servant and the Heron prince, whom she had once rescued from death at the hands of the desert, at her side. She went, despite everyone warning her that there was no such thing as a land after the desert, in search of such a land, hoping to find prosperous and peaceful countries and their people.

And she rediscovered not just some land, but the whole continent of Tellius. Unfortunately, she found it in anything but a peaceful state. The tales of Ike Greil tell of how she and her loyal servant Volug too fought to restore peace, but this tale is not the telling of those tales. But after the long battles she fought, the wolf queen planned to her homeland and one can only wonder about the things that happened after that…
