ATBASH CIPHER

i know i should stop believing
i know there's no retrieving

Despite the takeover being practically her fault, Atbash didn't understand why The Pitt had taken over. Or rather, why it wasn't just Stryker. Although then again, she supposed, it would be hard to fight against a whole tribe of people by yourself, even if you were a giant lion with hella mutations. Atbash was lucky Stryker didn't kill her outright, even if she felt like she deserved it.


The Hailcaller's ears pricked as she heard movement coming towards the den and her good eye looked to the door with fear, though she visibly relaxed upon realizing it was only Sicarion. He gave her an update on the situation, but that honestly didn't help with her feelings of guilt. They were still here. Atbash blinked tears away as Sicarion spoke to her and she closed her good eye for a moment before trying to give a small nod to him, though it was possible that it wasn't very noticeable due to her not wanting to move too much. "W-water would be nice, actually," Her throat hurt as she talked, but at least it didn't cause a whole lot of pain, to the point where she had to use telepathy to talk. That actually wouldn't be a bad idea, if only she wouldn't be too distracted by the feeling of an eye being lost and the pain with it.
