The taste of fog in the air

Venom had taken the last night patrol which was coming to its close as day began to break on Ashen once again. With it came a dense fog off the ocean, not surprising considering the weather they were having. Venom had no trouble, having been walking the paths here for so long she didn’t need the addition of sight to navigate her home. The Empress was carried by her white gloved paws up the beach back towards the palace to check on the pups and see if anyone stopped by.

Guided by the waves as they gently lapped at the shore just beyond sight through the fog. It was a unique experience, almost ethereal and she almost stopped to enjoy it when she scented Kitsune up ahead. Venom loped forward, slowing as she approached her fire marked daughter. She was wordless as her tall frame came to sit beside the small princess. Venom never ceased to feel amazement at what she and Hattori created.

The Empress didn’t hesitate to lean forward and nuzzle Kitsune’s cheek softly. She remained wordless but wore a gentle grin on her features as she settled at her daughter’s side. She didn't want to interrupt the sound of the waves over the sand. This place was beautiful, it was like for a moment mother and daughter were alone in their own world of dreams. Venom couldn't help but wonder what kind of new heights Kitsune or her siblings might bring to Empire to one day.
