The Titan and the Beans

Pestilence strode confidently from the den, head held high and doing her best to give off the best princess vibe she could. Mother and Father said she'd be a strong wolf, a God among mortals. She had to look the part, right? It all started with appearances. The less afraid you looked, the less afraid you'd feel.  

The young pup might as well have been wearing blinders as she pushed her head out past the hide door of the palace. Her path took her directly into the towering giant of Sirius - her mother's sworn guard. In that moment though, silhouetted by the sun and sitting in his massive glory he looked so damn scary. Her head very nearly bumped into the darkness of his pelt and she skittered back, instantly losing her confident posturing and instead high-tailing it back into the safety of the den with an echoing squeal. "VENOM!!" She cried. It sounded so much better then running away and screaming for mommy. There was something fierce and scary outside the den and her sister was going to kill it for her.
