distract my sadness

Venom’s white gloved paws propelled her over the red of the rock path beneath her. The evening was young but she could still see by what light from the sun filtered through the ash and smoke. She sighed heavily as she walked, head lowered and nowhere near the position a princess should hold herself. She didn’t feel like being a princess today. The dreary and doom like nature of the eruption had seeped into her whole being. She felt like a shadow of the pup that she had been back in the old territory.

The girl walked along quietly, her thoughts focused on the few memories she held tightly to the palace and of when their family was whole. She huffed again as she crested a rise, rose and lilac gaze looking out to where the sun should have been setting. White marked tail hung limply at her hips as she looked out over the horizon and missed her father and his strong presence. With him gone… she had to be the strong one. She had to step up and train harder and be like Archon. Ears fell to her skull as she lifted her head to the wind, she had to be strong but it was so hard.
