[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

everything's just come together at last !

Using elemtals used up a lot of energy, and while telepathy didn't require a lot in of itself, using both was definitely wearing her out. Atbash decided to focus on getting the alligator away though, digging her claws into the semi-wet ground beneath her and whipping up a larger gust of wind in order to get the reptile away. Once it was a couple feet away, the savannah looked up at the cub, still speaking telepathically. "It's an alligator. Come on, I'll lead you to a safer place to rest." She hoped the kid would follow; it wouldn't be long before the gator would try crawling back.  Maybe. Honestly, Atbash didn't know for sure but she definitely didn't want to stay to find out.

Atbash hopped out of the muck she was standing in, shaking her paws to get some of the looser bits out of her fur. She looked back at Baylock, a frown on her face as she waited to see whether he would follow. "My name is Atbash Cipher, I promise I won't hurt you."
