dolphin safe

White gloved paws carried the Empress over the sand as her nose lifted to the sky. She’d lived on the ocean the majority of her life but this scent wasn’t like anything she’d be held before. The young Empress made her way over the cold beach, though the wind from the south was warm comparatively speaking this was the coldest winter she had seen so far. Despite the weather Ashen was flourishing, more than it had since Venom could remember. Hattori was an invaluable piece of her puzzle, and she didn’t know what she would do if he left come spring. He didn’t make it seem like he would, but nothing in her life was certain.

The Empress tried to shake her thoughts from her mind as she followed her nose. It wasn’t so difficult to find the source when she emerged again onto the beach. Sunset eyes fell on a massive carcass on the sand. She’d seen whales and dolphins from afar, but never one out of the water.

The behemoth was obviously deceased, the smell alone would tell her that. Already the scavengers were having their way, but Venom had a strong feeling byond a quick meal the Empire could make great use of such a gift.
