Thundering Giants

Venom couldn’t help but lift her head a little higher and feel pride swell in her breast as the harpy praised her. She was no stranger to the feeling of superiority, she had been bred for it. Of course she wasn’t done growing yet, there was a whole world in front of her that she had left to explore and gain knowledge from. Celaeno’s next words brought a thought to the girl that she had been actively avoiding. Pestilence was leaving the pack, what if she did as well? To go out and see the world, to learn.

Venom grew quiet as she looked away, but what about her responsibilities? She couldn’t just drop them and go wander the wild lands. ”I want to,” her words were truthful, almost yearning. ”I have a family to return to though…” Absently her eyes returned northward where Ashen lingered in the shadow of the volcano.
