Atlas scanned his surroundings, realizing he was momentarily safe. Relief washed over him as he sank to the ground, gasping for breath. Slowly, his wounds began to knit themselves back together, the healing process taking hold as he rested.

Atlas shook his head before sitting up and admiring the peaceful water as the dark clouds above covered the world in darkness. While sitting there, he started stroking the Blood Bat, who started chirping in happiness as it nudged against his body.
