The day had concluded into late evening as Venom was carried by white gloved paws to the meeting place by the glowing shrine. Her purpose was a bit overdue, this was meant to be done in spring and not now as they were in mid summer. Better late than never right? Perhaps an Empress was like a wizard, never late or early, always just on time. She chuckled at the thought as she drew herself to the dias that framed her during meetings. Venom didn’t mean to make herself seem more intimidating now, but what she had to say was important so the place she decided to call for her wolf was in great consideration.

Venom lowered herself to her haunches before lifting her head to call for Ciannait, she had been in the peasant rank for far too long.

"Venom"

Unbreakable Survivor

It had been some time since she had been allowed to be part of the empire. She felt fairly familiar with the territory and had often done her share of patrols around the border. Though the islands of the archipelago couldn’t easily be reached, she drew from her own stupidity as a yearling and knew there were certain individuals that would take the plunge. Cian smirked at the memory, recalling the whole ordeal with her monochrome Empress.

Then a summons for the young woman rose into the air.

It was her Empress who summoned her. The golden maned woman responded with her own call, head tilting skyward, telling the sunset eyed Empress that she had heard her and was on her way. Mismatched limbs carried the woman away from her patrol and shifted herself towards the Shrine. Ciannait had always thought the glowing pool was a strange thing. Though she was curious of the pool, Cian felt it to be eerie. Slender figure passed by the pool, pace quickening.

Ciannait soon spotted Venom, her Empress, perched on the meeting dias. Turquoise optics met her waiting gaze, wondering if the Empress intended to appear intimidating. However, it didn’t work on the earthen woman, but rather made Venom seem more regal. Cian bowed her head in greeting and sat in front of the dias where her monochrome alpha sat. ”What can I do for you, Empress?” she asked curiously.

”Speaking”
Thinking

Cian made her way towards the Empress, her lithe form appearing before Venom at full attention. The girl bowed her head respectively before asking her curious question. Why was she summoned here today? Venom offered a quick nod in return, "I’m just checking in.” Cian had been a stray, washed up on her shore, she needed to know the girl had found her place. "It’s been some time since you’ve joined, are you still happy with your decision?” Venom asked with a tilt of her head. The young woman never seemed hesitant to take on a patrol or task, but did she feel like she had found her place here in Ashen?
