ATBASH CIPHER
everything's just come together at last !
There was only one reason Atbash was even apart of Tanglewood in the first place and she was sure that her clanmates are aware of that. Still, she tried to remain positive and forced herself to believe that she had a place here within Tanglewood, that she was a Shaderunner for a reason, and it wasn't all because of Vigenere. With Merlin joining and Atbash getting feelings for her, the savannah found herself enjoying life in Tanglewood a lot more. That is, until all the troubles started.
Tanglewood was better off now than Snowbound had been at the time of their downfall; at the very least, at least Elsweyr wasn't the only high position and trying to lead the clan on her own. Atbash wasn't sure if Vigenere was the only high position at the time of his capture, but that didn't matter; she still knew how hard it was to lead a group that was dying. Atbash hurt for Vigenere because she knew how family-oriented his was, even if that family was made by friends and groupmates. He was very much a soldier, that's for sure.
By now though, Atbash had accepted the fact that Vigenere likely wasn't coming back, even if she knew he had the ability to. In a way, she couldn't blame her elder brother for wanting to stay away from the living world, especially with everything going on. Speaking of which, Atbash knew she probably shouldn't be going out alone, given the fact that was the reason she had been attacked by Caesar in the first place, but she wanted to be there when Merlin returned. If Merlin returned.
However, the familiar scent of Vigenere in the air made Atbash's heart soar and the coyote picked up the pace until she reached where her brother stood, rushing past Arrow, and immediately grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. She buried her face into his fur, sobbing. She had no words, her only reaction being tears of joy; she couldn't say anything, her throat was too tight from her crying. But she was relieved, she was happy. Her brother was home. Arrow's words were muffled, with Atbash hardly hearing the Vassal's comments of disbelief.
