Ave Maria

Besides Venom, who seemed to choose to spend the most time with her, Deathbelle had felt the closest to Toxicity of the children. After bonding over their shared nightmares and sleeping close so they would dissipate, her heart beat alongside her daughter’s. As she touched her now though, she couldn’t miss the stiff feeling of Tox’s body. For a moment she feared again that she was losing her too.

Their eyes met as Tox pulled away to seek her gaze. Her forest green gaze reflected Archon perfectly, whenever she looked deep within it she could feel his hulking presence beside her again. ”Yes,” her voice did not hide her emotions. She was honest and still felt his absence, but not as painfully as she once did. ”I wonder a lot how things would be different, if he had remained with us.” Belle’s godhood was assured with her own power, and though she felt Archon awakened it within her she was the source. She wasn’t sure how to answer Tox before the girl went on to offer the tablet.

Tears welled up in her eyes as her brief but true time with the man flashed through her mind. So much happened since his death, she’d attempted to bury and hide her grief but had only made the wound worse. She could still feel the weak seams where she had only just repaired her broken heart. ”I wish to.” Deathbelle returned softly as she positioned herself at the sigil as instructed. ”I need to see his face again.” The tears streamed down her face now, unshed sorrow returning easily as she embraced the memory of her husband.
