Let them see our Fire

She had to step away from Sirius, she couldn’t try and make him fill the hole Archon had filled for her. The warlord was the reason for the first hole, and a reason the Empress had so easily allowed the Abraxas into her heart. She hadn’t spent enough time with him recently, but she was avoiding the pain it would cause her if she allowed him too close. She sighed heavily at the sound of claws on stone behind her.

A desert hare raced towards her, its eyes crazy as it dashed mouth open in rage towards her. Surprised, the Empress jumped out of the way of the hare’s teeth. She growled deeply and turned on the creature, teeth snapping as she aimed at the neck. With a little aim Deathbelle’s jaws fell around the hare’s neck and with little more effort the made hare was dead. She let it fall to her paws as the sound of Sirius’s voice reached her.

She looked up to see the Warlord, he was keeping busy, and likely hadn’t noticed the lack of her presence with all the time he spent with the children. She felt her lips pull back into a small smile as she saw him, though the hole that lingered inside of her throbbed at the same time. ”Of course, Sirius.” She said quietly as she reclined back onto his haunches.
