[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

is someone else in me,
waiting to break free?

Honestly, it was the same for Atbash; everything happened so fast. First, she was trying to make amends with The Pitt, the next she was captured under Stryker and the next, Snowbound was taken over by him and his clan. Snowbound tried to stop him but he promptly took our her eye and... that's all Atbash remembered, really. The days following that event had been a blur until she became strong enough to remain conscious. Eventually, she got with Nui and was able to plot a rebellion with the Icestriker and Snowbound was freed.

That being said, Atbash still felt guilty about everything and she didn't want to be seen as weak. So the Hailcaller was often outside of her cabin, practicing getting used to her surroundings once more. It was awful and sometimes the she-cat got phantom pains, causing her to have to retreat back to her cabin and take poppy seeds to ease her into sleep. Atbash wished there was a way to get rid of those false pains but unfortunately there wasn't any way to get rid of them. She... just had to get used to them.

"Yuuri?" Atbash called out to the pup as she approached the sleeping bundle of fur, her ears pricked and her eye glittering with concern. She frowned down at the young girl, worry going through her as she realized the possibility of Yuuri being sick. After all, she was just a child and Snowbound's terrain was new for her. She wouldn't have had time to get used to the territory just yet so of course there was a possibility of her getting sick. Izuku isn't here... At least, she hadn't seen the Frosthealer for a while.

Atbash tried to curl around Yuuri, trying to provide heat to the blind pup. "It's Atbash," The Hailcaller tried to soothe her. "Are you okay?" The shivering is what worried her the most. Why wasn't she inside her cabin? That was something she could ask later once she's calmed the girl down.
