left the nest

Sirius had done so much for the Princess that she was grateful for, along with everything he did that she couldn’t even begin to know. Like giving up his own life so that her mother escaped with her own. Returning to the ruling Empress side when he had healed enough to find her. The Warlord hadn’t hesitated to take Venom under his wing and trained her from a tender young age. He stepped up into the role of father figure when her own perished. She had so much to thank him for and yet here he was swearing his fealty to her.

She grit her teeth so that her emotions wouldn’t turn to tears in her eyes as he stepped back to look at her more fully. Venom held her head high despite the tears that threatened to spill as Sirius lowered himself to the ground, and reminded her again of his true place in her life. ”And you will be my sword, Warlord of the Empress.” She wasn’t exactly sure when Deathbelle would step down, but she felt much more comfortable with the idea after speaking with Sirius.

Venom couldn’t help it as her tears overflowed and she lost control. She closed the distance between them again and hugged tightly to her mentor’s neck.
