Deathbelle walked slowly over the beaches that lined the mountainous island that held the palace. The moon washed over the tropical island as the Empress made her way around the perimeter. She tried to keep her mind quiet as the night, with the colder temperatures the sounds of the crickets and sights of the lightning bugs were long gone. The woman sighed softly into the night, her dainty paws carrying her forward and leaving perfect paw prints in the sand.

For a moment she thought about the future, finding it painful once more. She had to give more thought to the succession of the throne. When was the appropriate time to step down> Did she want to step down? Should she keep her title for life? There were many questions and just as many possibilities. Did she want to relax and retire from the pressures of her responsibilities? The Empress shook her head as she tried to rid the thoughts from her mind.

words "Speech" The day was ending and the Samurai was up to give the last patrols of the night,with eyes of pink focused on the now dark place.The moon accompanied her task as the stars above shoved their faint light over the Klein's black coat.The woman felt pleased with how things were hanging so far,her position was her love, nothing else matched apart from her family of course.And with one of those fake smiles she always had she walked through not hoping to find anyone in specific. Calmly she walked and there at the distance she saw her sister walking through the sand. Smiling she approached with confidence hoping to reach the Empress' side. "Belle, good to see you," She said with her honey-like voice, seductive as it always was. "Mind if i join you?" She asked looking away. ooc:Mind if i join?

Deathbelle always preferred the night, and as her svelte form moved over the sand her mind was cleared by the clarity of the darkness. She shook away her thoughts on the future for now, but soon she would need to call together those she was closest to, and see where their opinion might lie. As she shook off her thoughts her sister happened upon her. Lilac gaze shifted to Hela’s dark form as she approached in the darkness.

The Empress offered back a classic Klein smirk as the woman paced beside her. ”Greetings, sister.” She replied lightly, trying to lift herself from the dark places her emotions resided within. ”Please, join me.” She invited her with a nod of her head. ”Finishing a patrol?” She asked curiously, wondering if there might be any news her sibling might share with her.

words "Speech" As she got to her sister's side that smile of hers became real not the fake one she always gave others,her true self only came around when she was with those she did regard. Her padding became slower, hoping to match the Empress's own rhythm.  ”Greetings, sister.” Upon placing her pink eyes upon her sister's she noticed some difference and her voice didnt sound as it always did. Hela had a big eye for changes on others, her observant nature made of her someone who took details of those around her, always to pick on any weakness she could later own explode but she never did with relatives. "Is anything bothering you?" She asked keeping her serene expression, she never held back in her words, whatever she wanted t know of you'll expect her to just ask away without remorse. ”Finishing a patrol?” "Indeed,and you? How are my nieces and nephews doing? I has been a bit clumsy about anyone's affairs at all, you know busy days." She indeed felt she should share more with her family, someday she would try to catch up.

Hela settled into herself when she was around the rest of the Klein family. Deathbelle felt herself smile at her sister’s bright grin as they walked slowly down the beach. The warmth of the ocean warded off a lot of the winter’s chill but the wind was still cold. Her sister, always being the observant one, asked her bluntly if all was well.

”Just thinking, wondering if I’ll know the right time to pass on the crown.” She spoke lightly of the heavy topic as Hela affirmed she was on the end of her patrol. ”Walking, I’ll be heading out for the next one soon.” She patrolled frequently throughout the night. ”They are growing, the elder ones are fledging much too quickly for my liking. The younger ones have been quiet. I’m not certain where I’ll see them in the future.” Deathbelle was full of uncertainty these days, and it was wearing on the Empress.

”Just thinking, wondering if I’ll know the right time to pass on the crown.” "I see,i guess you may have a lot of pressure with that.But i am sure all will be sweet soon," She said in one of the few times in which one could see her doing sincere compliments and good wishes. She often did but to give false hopes to others,to make them suffer with a lie. But around her relatives she spoke with complete faith on her predictions. Seeing her sister now,she felt lucky she didnt have the burden of worrying about kids and their whereabouts.she only had to worry about hers. Kids were for her obstacles for her power-seeking,she wanted to be the best of the bests and children seemed to slow her down. "I am not in the right to speak as I don't have kids,but i cant tell having them is a burden,not that i am saying you did wrong, everyone haves their life and how to live it. But in my own point of view i don't see much advantages." But she didnt negate their were those who could carry their genes and their ideals. But well only time will tell if she was to have or not. "Speak"

Deathbelle was heartened by her sister’s words. The she wolf wasn’t often one to offer up words of encouragement and the Empress would savor them when she was gifted them. Maybe she would really know when the right time was, maybe Venom would make the decision for her. The thoughts were pushed away, she couldn’t know the future but she’d know when the moment came.

”They are a lot of work.” Belle would agree there, but she did not hold Hela’s views. ”I would never call them a burden. I know I won’t live on forever, I must raise someone to carry on the Empire and our name.” It was a duty of love and loyalty. ”A few hurdles are more than worth it.”
