ATBASH CIPHER
everything's just come together at last !
//Retro Caesar's attack
Merlin was... more than a friend, if Atbash was honest. She hadn't felt this way towards another woman ever since Cry had disappeared, but it was a welcome feeling. One that the Shaderunner had missed, even if it made her awkward and stumbling over her own words. It was a flighty feeling, as if she was on clouds; it was a feeling that was much better than just being happy and was a major contrast from the sadness she had felt lately, with Aurum passing and her contemplating the whole reason she had joined Tanglewood. With Merlin here, the savannah now had another reason to stay - not that she wasn't friends with or didn't like anyone else, just that Merlin gave her hope that everything was going to be okay.
That was one of the reasons Atbash was looking for Merlin. She was just wanted to spend time with the calico she-cat, to have a couple of laughs or maybe she could take Merlin to where Snowbound used to be. When Atbash came to Merlin's house though, she noticed that she wasn't home - which, knowing Merlin, wasn't exactly a big deal. She was often out-and-about, doing her own thing. It wasn't that much of a surprise. So for a while, the Shaderunner didn't really think much of the situation until it slowly became hours before anyone had seen the pretty butterfly-winged she-cat. With worry piercing through her, Atbash decided to follow Merlin's alcohol-sprinkled scent trail, the breath catching in her throat as she noticed the blood on the ground and getting stronger as she followed the trail.
What was also heavily in the air was the scent of the Coalition and it made Atbash's heart stop for a moment. "Merlin!" The savannah cried out, panic slowly starting to set in. She pushed through, still following the scent trail as it got worse with bits of blood, until it went past the border. "Shit, shit, Merlin!" She couldn't go after Merlin on her own, she couldn't go to the Coalition by herself. Atbash collapsed where she stood, her body shaking as she tried to fight off her worries of Merlin being killed by the group that caused so much terror.
