Slumped, curled up in a ball, brooding in a corner alone...these were all things Atalanta never done. True the Archer kept her distance but when called out to she would always answer, sooner or later depending on WHERE she was. ...Put since the Huntress had returned a silence had fallen over her. One that over the days had broken the feline Archer little by little, going from awkward evasive behavior to full on withdrawal.
Lancer’s appearance within the holds of the Library came as no surprise. The two were what she could refer to as a Friend - or, she hoped at least. Her current form would put to the test any form of friendship.
Misshapen, vile and beast-like as she currently was...most now withdraw from her in fear. Even Frankstein had recoiled in fear of her...fearing the Archers claws - evading her eyes.
“Lancer...” Came Archer’s withdrawn reply. Her favorite stories strewed around her in vein hopes of distracting herself...effort that had come to naught.
“I am surprised thou can even withstand my visage currently. ...Am I not just a picture of fright?”
Where once sharp tipped gauntlets resided were claws black as pitch - ready to all too easily rend a man asunder. Emerald eyes had dulled to lime vile hues, locks of golden shrub now ashen with corruption creeping to the Huntress’s fringe. Atalanta’s body covered in patches of thick black fur etched with obscure purple corrupt marking in various patterns. With every tiny movement Archer felt her pulse race...the beast within her shaken awake finally.
Her shame, her betrayal laid bare for all to see. C u r s e d.
