It's madness, it's madness - O; Ana's death

[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

tired eyes, barely open ,
crippled by a promise broken !

Ana's absence wasn't hard to notice; Atbash hadn't seen the girl around for a while but with the heatwave going on, she couldn't entirely blame Ana if she decided to stay inside all day. Atbash was trying to get away from the heat by sitting under a shady tree when a bone-chilling screech sounded through the air. It made the fur on her spine rise and the savannah quickly got to her paws - following the scent of Ares that she picked up as she ran. The noise was hard to tell what was going on, mixing rage and grief, but Atbash knew she wasn't in danger. Or at the very least, that's what she hoped.

The mess she came upon was... Something she didn't want to see. Bloody and gorey, a couple of dead wolves laying on the ground and Ares sobbing with her wings covering her head. Cautiously, Atbash approached and softly mewed, "Ares...?" As she got closer, she could see the body that Ares clutched; Atbash stopped where she was, her ears flattening. "No... Ana..." The voice came out as a choked whisper, tears starting to fill her eye.
