 A cold air breezed by in the cool summer heat of a late afternoon. Bees were buzzing around, humming their songs of untold secrets to their comrades as they worked to find the sweetest of flowers to pollinate. It seemed like it was still summer, spring even if one wished it hard enough. But illusions lasted for only so long as the days began to cool.
Atalanta sighed as she gazed into the tops of an old, wise tree. Its leaves hadn't begun to turn the golden brown or reds of the cool seasons yet, but they were a lighter green than the rest, so it was inevitable that the Autumn Lord would cast his spell on the lively flora and turn it to the colors of the Fall. Though she preferred the bright, wondrous colors of the Spring and Summer, Atalanta was a little excited about the Fall season as it approached. With it, the Fall brought the smells of a night drizzled in rain on occasion and the sounds of the nocturnal creatures as they were allowed to play out underneath the stars longer than was allowed in the summer. Pumpkins would begin to grow on green vines filled with life and the Fall harvest would begin.
With that in mind, she smiled and bowed her head to the ancient tree in respect, "Oh what secrets you could tell me if only you could speak," Atalanta whispered. Taking one, long last gaze into the tree tops, she turned and headed for the nearest stream. Today was a day where she planned on letting fate take its own course if it wanted to. She had no intentions of leading it safely along when she knew nothing bad would happen.

 Floki watches Atalanta with soft smile on his face. He wondered what she was thinking about.
He still couldn't believe that he belonged to her. Still he hoped if his is a dream he would never wake up from it. Looking around he could see first signs of fall. soon everything will first turn in golden colors and after that to colors of earth. Such beautiful change while everything prepares for sleep during the winter.
He stepped closer to Atalanta just so he could feel her sweet scent. He loved smell of her pink roses that couldn't compete with her beauty.
'' My sweet lady. Looks like autumn is at the door. ''
Soon the best apples will be ripe. He promised him self he will take her for a walk and a snack when right time comes.

She had dipped her head down to take a sweet sip from the stream, when a familiar voice sounded from behind her. Atalanta looked up and met Floki's gaze with a warm smile as she nodded, "It seems it is. Once spring comes back around, there will be plenty of new life, don't you think?" She took a few steps closer to him and nuzzled him in a loving greeting. Atalanta hoped that some of the new life brought upon the earth come spring, would be their own younglings too. She was beyond happy that Floki was hers; there couldn't have been anyone else more perfect. Atalanta found her heart still quickened whenever he was near, and to her that meant she would always love him.
"But I can't help but to feel there is some unrest this year. Shadows dance and move around, as though someone is keeping watch on us. Have you noticed anything unusual my love?"

Floki returned gentle nuzzle. These days he could think only about his beloved. Perhaps not the best thing but he couldn't help him self.
'' Ah. Perhaps trees are spying on us for my mother. ''
He couldn't help him self but to tease her a little. But when he thought about it he couldn't remember any occasion that anything strange happened in his near. Intoxicating him self with sweet smell of her roses he replied more serious this time.
'' Sorry my love. I haven't noticed anything unusual. But perhaps that is due to my lack of talent. Might be that you are seance some ones uneasiness manifested in their dreams. ''

Atalanta gave him a knowing smile and swished her tail playfully in response to his teasing. She never found herself bored with him; actually she found herself lost in his amazing green eyes quite often. Sometimes it was all she could do to stay focused when he was close.
"Maybe I'm overreacting then," Atalanta spoke as his words sunk in, "It could very well be nothing more than that." As she looked beyond him toward the rolling hills, she noticed how native he appeared.
It hit her that her mate reminded her almost of the ancients she had rarely seen in troubled dreams. They stood guard over their chosen to make sure the Star wouldn't get lost within their dream for eternity. She merely helped to heal the troubled Star.
"Let's hope she doesn't try to capture me up in the vines then," Atalanta teased as she mentally shook herself of the reverie. "I couldn't stand to be away from you. So have you had any contact with any outsiders?" It was an odd question, but so many unfamiliar Stars had decided to take refuge just on the outer rims of the territory, that she couldn't help but to be curious.

'' Maybe you are nostalgic for summer. Fall can seem like sad time of the year sometimes. ''
Floki got what he asked for. Being kept away from Atalanta was not a pleasant thought but he knew his mother and he knew she would never do such thing. On the contrary she would be pleased to see some healthy grandchildren.
'' Don't you worry my lady. There is nothing in this world that could keep us apart. ''
Floki thought about all encounters he had with stars that did not belong to his herd. And one most unpleasant was with the shadow herd and Moloch. But when he tried to count exact number he found out to his surprise that it wasn't that high number.
'' Yes I have. But not that much. And most of them were only passing by. ''
Which reminded him of an unusual mare he once meet. He wondered what has happened to her.

"With the frigid air, yes, but with all of the rain and snowfall that will take place soon, I know that spring will be overflowing with new life," Atalanta smiled warmly and took a step closer to him so that they were mere inches apart. She then rested her head in between his neck and shoulder.
"I know there isn't. No force is strong enough," Atalanta breathed in his scent and closed her eyes, feeling safe and comfort just being close to Floki.
At his next words she felt no worries anymore and decided to try and muster up the courage to talk about what had been playing on her mind ever since the fields in the outerlands had been filled with joyful laughter. "You know. . ." how to start, she thought to herself. "How would you- Or, would you . . ." Sighing, Atalanta took a deep breath and let the words race from her mouth in a jumbled rush, "How would you feel about being a father?"
