Hello and welcome back for chapter 4 of The Life of Atlas Storm.

I updated my profile quite a lot because I saw the embarrassing amount of spelling errors and just over all poor layout. The profile now is updated and will have a status update on writing progress of TLOAS.

I am quite sorry for the long gap between this and last update. I had college mid terms to deal with.

I will try my best to increase the chapter lengths and frequency of the updates.

~AU Update of FT/DxD Universe~

1} Prometheus the Titan from Greek Mythology is now the Titan of Flames and is the same league as God in DxD.

2} I will be bringing in several Titans from the Greek Mythos.

3} All devils dislike Gods and Angels in DxD, So I'm adding Titans to the list of disliked things.

As always, feel free to leave a review or PM me. I'm always available for a friendly chat via PM.

Chapter 4: Recollections of the Past

~Previously on TLOAS~

Mira cleared away the dishes and Wendy came out of the infirmary with a yawn.

"Good morning little one. How did you sleep?" Atlas asked.

"Good" Wendy said while waking up to Atlas and standing in front of him. She looked at him shyly with a slight blush tinting her cheeks.

"Could I... s-sit in your lap? You remind me of my mom." the little sky maiden said shyly.

"Any time you want, little one." Atlas replied with a warm smile on his face.

~Chapter 4~

Atlas lifted Wendy into his lap and she snuggled up to him enjoying his warmth. Mira came out from the kitchen and almost fainted at the sight of how adorable the sight of Wendy smiling and talking with Atlas. Mira then filled a glass with apple juice and set it in front of Wendy.

"Thank you Mira!" Wendy said with a big smile. (A/N: In my story, Wendy loves apple juice.)

"No Problem" Mira responded with a smile.

All four of them made small talk for a little while. The subjects ranged from the weather to drink preference. After about an hour, Atlas picked Wendy up, stood up, and placed her back on the chair.

"I'm in the mood for some training practice and seeing as the master isn't in yet I have some time. If anyone wants to watch be my guest." Atlas said as he went to retrieve his sword from the infirmary. The then walked towards the guild doors with Wendy as she had decided to follow him. "I'll be on the hill across the way that overlooks town if anyone needs me. I should be back in around 2 hours."

"Alright, have fun you two." Mira called after them.

Atlas turned to Wendy while grinning with excitement "Do you want to get there really fast?"

Wendy nodded enthusiastically.

"Alrighty then." Atlas said as he picked Wendy up and placed her on his left shoulder. "Hold on tight."

With a burst of speed, they flew off towards the hill at blurring speed. Wendy was giggling all the way to the hill.

"For having just met each other, they seem quite close." Mira said to Erza "Wendy might finally open up."

"I hope she does." Erza responded.

~Time skip an hour~

An epic training montage had ensued. During the montage, Wendy had fallen asleep wrapped in Atlas's jacket. He had just finished training which included body, sword, and hand to hand combat training. Atlas felt a weird feeling in his body, he extended his hand palm upwards to about mid chest height. A pitch black flame appeared floating above his palm. It slowly faded away, as it dissipated there was a bright flash. The three seal on his body flashed and appeared in front of him. These seals sparked a memory from a long time ago with his father.

~Flashback~

A six year old Atlas is sitting in a clearing pondering the question his father had posed to him earlier that day.

"Son, today's training will be to meditation on a question and until you have discovered the answer. The question is: when one had a power that they are physically unable to use but have the required knowledge to wield the power. What would you do? Return here when you feel that you have a satisfactory answer." his father instructed.

That was around five hours ago.

"If I had too much power, I would seal it away along with the knowledge of how to use it until the time came that I was able to use it." Atlas thought to himself.

He returned to his father and told him of what he had thought of.

"That would be perfect if such a way existed." his father said.

"Oh but there is father." Atlas said gleefully "I haven't tested it out but I should work. It's the only solution we have, but I should be able to fix the little problem and it should work perfectly."

"What is this "Little problem" you speak of?" the man asked.

"My body will slowly break down and I will die in about 11 years because my soul merged with Storm's my body was recreated and started over. But I'm working on a solution that should fix the problem." Atlas said.

~Flashback end~

Atlas's eyes widened and he realized "Now that I remember how I did it, I guess it's time to undo the seals. It's too bad that I don't have too much time left."

He bent down and gently woke Wendy. "We have an hour till we are expected back at the guild. Is there anything you want to do?"

"PLAY AT THE PARK!" Wendy shouted excitedly.

Magnolia had the typical children's playground that is full of: slides, monkey bars, a sandbox, those awesome horse things that are attached to a spring in the ground that allow the children to flail back and forth and the most important thing of all, SWINGS! The two went and played at the park for the remainder of the time. They went on the swings, slides and all other types of playground equipment. They played tag (Wendy won most of the games) and "The ground is lava" (A/N: The game where you can't touch the ground or you "burn" up). After they were done frolicking around the park Atlas picked Wendy up and put her on his shoulder again and headed towards the guild.

As they headed towards the guild, Wendy asked "Atlas, why do smell like Grandeeney?"

"I don't actually." Atlas responded "When you were around a year and a half old, Grandeeney saved my life. As I was healing under her care, I met you and witnessed your first steps. I assume since you were quite young, my smell was combined slightly with hers."

"Then does that make you my daddy then?" Wendy asked with hope filled eyes. "I have always wanted a dad."

"I never thought about it that way before, but if you look at it that way then yes it does." Atlas replied while looking at her with a grin.

"Yay, I have a daddy!" Wendy shouted with excitement.

~Fairy Tail guild hall~

In the two hours the pair was away, most of the main members had come to the guild. These included the typical: Elfman, Gray, Cana, Macao, Wakaba, Levi, Nab, Vijeeter, Natsu, Alzack, Bisca ... and many others. They were all going about the normal Fairy Tail activities with gusto. The doors opened and Atlas entered with a giggling Wendy sitting on his left shoulder while holding onto his head. They approached Erza who was sitting at the bar while chatting with Mira like usual. He sat down with Wendy again in his lap.

"How did training go?" Erza asked Atlas.

"It went well." Atlas responded "I stopped off at the mayor's office before hand and talked to him about letting me use the forge in the blacksmith shop. He said I could stay there for as long as I want. So, we need to discuss what weapon you want. I already have the armor..." He paused to block a bottle from hitting Erza, he set it on the counter as he continued "all planned out. It will be a fun surprise."

"I can't decide, I pretty much have every weapon available in stores. But I don't have many Atlas Storm weapons." Erza said while pondering. "What about a bastard sword?" (A/N: A bastard sword is a sword type less commonly referred to as a hand and a half sword. Basically the blade of the sword is the same length as the conventional one handed longsword, but the tang and grip of the sword can be wielded with one or two hands giving it superior leverage and adds more power to the swing.)

"Sure, sounds good. How much do you want to see me?" Atlas asked

"What do you mean by how much?" Erza asked confused.

"I can get your armor repaired, the new armor and sword done in a month if you don't want to see me. I could do it in three months if I come to the guild five to six days out of the week. And if you absolutely can't wait and I don't sleep at all I could do it in three weeks." Atlas said.

"Well, I think Wendy and I want to see you as much as we can. Gray as well, I think. You still haven't met the guild yet either." Erza said, then she blushed as she asked "C-c-c-could I watch you work sometime?"

"Of course! In fact anyone can come and watch me work. Oh, I almost forgot. Is Makarov in?" Atlas asked.

"Yes, He got in just before you did." Erza said.

"Excellent. I need to go talk to him. I suspect that you, Wendy and Gray will be called up later after I discuss things with Makarov. Where would his office be?" Atlas questioned.

Wendy hopped off of his lap and said "I'll show you."

Wendy takes Atlas up a flight of stair and over to a door marked "Masters Office". Atlas knocks on the door.

After a second he hears "Come in".

Atlas enters the office and looks around. It is a fairly small room for an office. The lower half of the walls are made up of wood and the upper part is painted a nice peach color. It has a window on the opposite wall with a view of the water. A small desk sat in the back of the room with two chair in front of the desk and one behind. Off to the left was a three person couch against the wall with a small table in front of it. Behind the large stacks of papers sat Makarov. As Atlas closed the door Erza and Gray having followed Wendy all listened at the door.

"Ah, hello young one. Sit, we have much to discuss." Makarov said.

"I agree, Hyperion." Atlas responded with a wide grin.

"I'm sorry, but I think you are mistaken. My name is Makarov Dreyar" Makarov responded smoothly. "How does he know? No one in Earthland should even know me by that name, except the first but I haven't seen him in 100 years. Just who is this person?"

"Don't be like that uncle." Atlas said. "I am Atlas of Flame"

"Impossible, He died over 100 years ago" Makarov stated sharply.

"I would have died if the first hadn't merged Storm's soul with mine" Atlas spoke in the language of the Ancients.

Makarov's eyes widen at hearing the language "YOU'RE ALIVE!" Makarov shouted as he jumped over his desk and titan hugged his nephew.

After a little while Makarov calmed down enough to sit back down in the other chair in front of his desk.

"There are currently three people listening at the door. Do you mind if they know?" Atlas asked.

~The eavesdroppers~

"Master is a Titan of Light? Atlas is the manifestation of the Flame? What is Atlas talking about? What language is that?" thought all three.

"So, why are you here? And to answer your question, doesn't matter to me." They heard Makarov ask.

~In the office~

"That is something that I really need to discuss in private, lets go to my house after the guild closes. But for now lets have fun messing with the three listening at the door." Atlas spoke as Makarov laughed. They both turn the chairs around to face the door.

"Have you ever seen Erza's topless photos?" Makarov says with barely restrained laughter.

"I can't say I have." Atlas responded with a gleeful grin.

"They are truly amazing. Here they are." Makarov said while he reached back and handed Atlas a stack of complaints from his desk.

"Wow! There are so many." Atlas exclaimed.

*CRASH* At that point the door slammed open to reveal a enraged Erza, a stunned gray with a slight nose bleed, and a very flustered Wendy.

"GIVE ME THOSE RIGHT NOW" Erza bellowed.

Both Makarov and Atlas fell out of their respective chairs with laughter and began rolling around due to the intensity of their merriment.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! There was never any pictures, these are a bunch of complaints. We were just messing with you because you were being evil little eavesdroppers." Atlas gasped out while recovering from his laughing fit.

Erza's face slowly turned red and she started stammering "I w-w-w-was n-not listening."

"Then why did you suddenly bust in here?" Makarov retorted.

Erza's mouth opened and shut several times.

"I sincerely apologize of my indiscretion, please hit me." Erza said while bowing her head.

"If Atlas doesn't mind, we will forgive you for listening in on a private conversation." Makarov stated as he looked to Atlas.

"Not at all, are you two just going to sit there all day? We have things to discuss. I haven't told anyone about us since Ur." Atlas said with a sad look.

The remaining two snapped out of their shock and came in with Gray closing the door behind him.

"Have a seat you brats." Makarov said.

All three followed Makarov's command and sat on the couch while Makarov and Atlas moved the chairs to face them opposite the couch.

"So, have you all heard the legends of the four ancients and their lieutenants?" asked Atlas.

"Yea, the ones with the Titans Hyperion, Prometheus, Zeref, and Storm. But they are all fake." Gray said as Wendy and Erza nodded their heads.

"Oh, but what if I told you they were real." Atlas grinned.
