the empire (of puppies) strikes back

With Hattori beside her and the call gone out Venom waited for the pups to appear. The first was one of Hari’s. Askell loped up and introduced himself confidently, ”Welcome, Askell.” Venom grinned lightly as one of Sirius’s appeared right after, Venom wasn’t sure she remembered her name, and she didn’t introduce herself but that would be alright. Her cousin Panic was next, Venom’s grin grew a bit brighter at the girl. ”Hello, Panic.” The Empress purred softly as another of the Warlord’s took her place. Malachai after her, his future height already obvious in his long legs and massive paws.

A sweet young boy, another cousin, bounced forward, however he didn’t have the look of a fighter in the least. Small and skinny he was however full of personality. ”Welcome, Jigsaw. Maybe you’ll be able to use your skills later.” She chuckled softly, but didn’t forget his offer. Two more pups mae their way forward and Venom was left to assume the rest had no need for training or didn’t feel like participating. All was well and good, this was a perfect group.

”Welcome to all of you.” She raised her voice and looked around to the young faces. The future of the Ashen Empire. Venom was forced to remember when she had been so bright eyed and innocent. In a time when she’d had a complete family..

”Before we really begin, your teacher Hattori will be giving you a basic lesson on what fighting and battle really are, we will answer any questions, and then you’ll get paired off to practice. If everyone is ready..” She gestured to Hattori to begin.
