I HOPE YOU ALL DIE || Fire!

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

somebody make me alive,
and shatter me !

Atbash knew what the tribe was like. She knew the place she has come to love was small and vulnerable, but she believed things would change. After all, things became better once she became leader after Jacob stepped down, and although she slowly grew tired of leading Snowbound, Atbash could never abandon them. She would lead this tribe until she found somebody else fit to live and step down, just as Jacob did before her.

What Atbash wasn't expecting however, was the place she found home to succumb to the same fate her Home Dimension did. The Hailcaller was awoken by the roaring sound of flames and her throat tightening at the smoke that was surrounding her room. Her body jerked awake, her one eye shooting open in alarm. Slowly, Atbash came to her senses and realized what was happening was real and not a dream. The smell of smoke in the air made her recoil, ears flattening and she pressed her body against the ground. No! The she-cat growled mentally at herself. Your tribemates! Even though she wanted to burn in place of her parents back home, she could save people this time. Unlike back home, where they were all destined to suffer the same, she could change it here. She could save her tribe once more!

Despite wanting to stay rooted to the ground, Atbash forced herself to get to her paws and rush out of her own cabin. Upon doing so, however, she immediately regretted it. The first thing she saw was the Banquet Hall on flames, with it branching out to other cabins along the camp. Her heart pounded in her chest and at this point, Atbash couldn't tell if the reason she found it hard to breathe was because of the smoke or because of the pressure building in her chest. Focus on your tribe! Atbash scolded herself, closing her eye briefly as she took in a breath (although she ended up choking).

"Everyone!" Atbash tried calling telepathically out to her tribe. "We need to evacuate! Quickly, help people if they need it!" It was the very least she could do, could she not? After all, she couldn't be there at everyone's side, unlike her parents, where it was just them two she cared about (other than her siblings, obviously). The leader herself looked around for anybody in trouble and caught sight of Magikatricks. She had no idea that the male was the former leader of this place due to his alias and new body, but that wasn't the point; he was still a Snowbounder and nobody needed to die in flames.

"Magika!" Atbash called out to him as she ran towards him, gently trying to nudge the male towards the exit of camp. "We have to get out of here quickly. No time to look for things, come on!"
