ATBASH CIPHER
i should've said what i hear
i should have let myself fear
i should have let myself fear
Wow. Atbash couldn't help but be in awe at how many people were showing up and how everyone was getting along. It was like something she had always dreamed if she was honest; a peaceful gathering, and it seemed to actually be working. With the amount of people gathered, the Hailcaller figured it was a better time than never to go ahead and continue on with the rest of her plan. "Ah, attention everyone!" Atbash called, standing up briefly on her hind legs before she stumbled awkwardly backwards before sitting down again. Hopefully that got peoples' attention. "It's time to kickstart the main reason I've called everyone together: to share scary stories!" A smile formed on her face as she announced this.
Atbash let that news settle in before she went ahead and continued on, "I'll start. In these woods, I've heard rumors of a creature known as the Misigniebig." Man, that was... a mouthful, if she was honest. This wasn't so much as a scary story as a rumor she heard from passing and visiting NPCs, but hey, it was still scary to her nonetheless. "This creature is a huge horned serpent that lives in a lake, much like the one right next to us." She looked over at the icy lake, as if trying to look for this aforementioned creature. "This creature is believed to eat animals just like us. I heard that it is especially busy on nights such as these, and sometimes you can hear the ice crack as it searches for an unsuspecting traveler." Unfortunately, luck was not on the Hailcaller's side tonight and she couldn't exactly make the ice crack herself, but hey, she was trying!
