not the future i expected

Her paws were restless, so as night fell the Empress made her way from Ashen lands. Her natural direction was westward, possibly because of her once home that direction. The West was where she had been born, but needing a change of scenery Venom followed the coast east. Through the Armada lands and then towards the Eastern pack Abaven. She had no intention of making it so far, and found her pace slowing as white gloved paws carried her over the sand.

As much as her paws resisted rest her mind did as well. She often returned to her memories of the night she'd spent with Hattori in the blue caverns. They’d cemented their relationship, there was nothing official but they’d both pledged their hearts to one another. Two hearts had become one. A small smile played on her lips at the thought as the moon broke through the cloud cover to bathe the beach in its blue light.

Venom sighed softly and sat back onto her haunches. Much had happened in the last year, but the future was bright and promising now that she had Hattori beside her. There was no looming deadline for their contract, the two of them were partners for life. Dual toned tail wrapped around her hips as Venom looked out over the ocean with sunset gaze, yes the future looked bright and she was eager to take on its challenges with her husband to be.
