@whimsikills [yuko + atlas]
atlas is exhausted. being alive again has proven more challenging than she would like to remember. being stuck in the dream card for so long had drained her magic and still she felt a pull. something tugging at the lightning under her skin, weakening her ability to walk through the different realms. so atlas tugs back, her newly formed horns and the wings that she was slowly but surely regrowing lead the way. fluttering of feathers and light sensation on the curved horns eventually lead way to a door that she was all to familiar with.
immediately, atlas realizes that trying to find yuko only makes the most sense. the witch had been more reasonable than clow, and could perhaps better explain what had happened. the time before being put into clow's card is a bit of a blur, sakura is older now than atlas herself had been when her power was first ripped away.
stepping into the clearing in front of the shop, atlas blinks several times. they can see the connections, the way many worlds and places lead to this shop. it gives her goosebumps and as she looks around her eyes eventually land not just on yuko, but on a creature that smells just like her own magic does.
"yuko!" atlas greets. their voice is still soft from disuse and as they approach the black creature seems to run away after a young boy. stopping a foot away from yuko, atlas expands the full length of her wings and horns (which had previously been hidden from sight) and tries her best to be menacing. although rage simmers deep within her, atlas feels sorrow and confusion more than anything else.
"yuko, i apologize for stopping by unannounced but clow trapped me and stole my magic. i would very much like for you to tell me everything you know."
