Piping-Hot Revenge

OOC: Pre-pack

Toxicity took Calamity to the mountain which was the resting place of their father. The journey was a good ways from their pack and the time alone would be good for them, Toxicity had decided. She told Obi to look after the shrine and Venom and of course he obliged. With the things at the pack dealt with, Toxicity felt free to roam and take her time. It was one of her first real pack outings and she could feel it as a big step in her journey to adulthood.

To top it off, Calamity was joining her for her punishment training on building her own future. Toxicity had never really been in the company of any other wolf for so long and so she didn't know what to fill the time with. Most of the time she just was silent. Every now and then, however, she found a nice plant and would explain its ritualistic uses or place for them to carve their sigils. She wasn't sure how to bond with Cala, and the only thing she could think that they had in common was their religion. Not even the only thing they had in common, but it was really the only thing Toxicity had period. She had always devoted herself to religion. She could say confidently that she didn't really know much about anything else. As much as she poured herself into her studies and training, the more she lost touch with the rest of the world.

Through her dedication, though, she had come to know herself very well. She knew her body's limits and where she hoped to grow. She was becoming a confident fighter, but she still had much to work on in her religious ways. She hoped with Venom as empress that she would be able to host public ceremonies and have actual participants. No longer did she want her religion to be this hush hush Abraxas thing she did in the shadow of her Klein family. She wanted it to be a part of the pack. She was okay with other gods- even Abraxas canon mentioned other gods after all- but she wanted spirituality to be a part of everyone's life in the pack. She wanted celebrations in prayer, offerings before raids, offerings for plentiful seasons and bounties. To form a pack of true believers and worshippers even of all sorts of gods would surely earn them favor and strengthen them under Venom's reign.

The first part of that was this trip. With Calamity at her side, she approached the mountain. Mismatched eyes met her sister's form, "I would like you to scale the volcano's heights reciting prayer until sundown. I will find a place to pray and watch over you while you show your spirit. Work your prayer into physical form to conquer this mountain- the mountain of Abraxas."

Turning now, Toxicity put a little distance before them. She worked her way up the sharp edges until she found a chiseled out area that was flat enough for her to peacefully stand on. There, she would pray for her sister and pray for the purification of the Abraxas through their efforts- to form a more solid image on which to stand.
