ATBASH CIPHER
everything's just come together at last !
Ever since Elsweyr's announcement that Aurum was missing, there was a strange feeling that pushed at the savannah's chest. It felt like a brick, but at the same time, her chest felt hollow. It hurt, but despite that the Shaderunner forced herself to follow along with Moth and the others. Please be okay, Aurum, She wanted to call out to him telepathically, but couldn't find the energy to do so. You're the only reason I'm here. A selfish thought, but one that was the truth nonetheless. The only reason Atbash had even joined Tanglewood was to see the lion that her brother spoke fondly of, to make things up with him, and maybe finally come to terms with Vigenere's death in the process. Atbash ended up making more friends here than she thought she would have and thus had more ties here than she would realize in this moment, but for now, she almost felt like leaving.
As the party neared the graveyard, Atbash could feel the thickness in the air that almost seemed to haunt the place. The fog was unnerving in of itself, but the tense feeling that hung here was almost choking her. Soon, images started to flash in her head - of Aurum, Siberno, and... were those archangels? It was, and they were going after Aurum and Siborno. Not completely aware that this an illusion of past events, Atbash shot forward - only to be met that an angel screeching in her face. An hallucination caused by fear, anger, denial; angels and demons were on the opposite sides of the spectrum and although powered by rage in seeing them attacking Aurum, she was afraid of them.
The vision faded and Atbash found herself staring in shock at Aurum and Siberno's body in front of her, her mouth agape as she tried to find some sort of way to breathe. Moth flickered out of existence, Ares screeching, Arrow trying to comfort Ares, and Elsweyr trying to control herself. Atbash simply stood where she was, her body shaking. Her nose bled, not profusely, but enough to cause discomfort. It was painful and fortunately for her, she was unaware it was happening - her senses numbed by this point. If she knew what was happening, she would only cause it to get worse; Corruption fed off of your feelings.
