Crime and Punishment

Toxicity did not inherit the decorum and prestige of their breeding like Venom had been so sure of for so long. While they were younger Venom looked up to her sister, even when she exceeded her station Venom still looked to Toxicity. The Empress had grown past that now. Toxicity’s words were meant to hurt her but Venom felt no sting of truth in them, they were nothing but slander and lies. Toxicity couldn’t know what she was talking about to begin with because she was the one who remained barricaded within the shrine’s shelter. Her duties included working closely with herself, the Empress and Omikuji were supposed to be together everyday and work closely together. Toxicity was never at her side, not when she was to be wed, not when her puppies were born. All of Toxicity’s accusations were projection of her own shortcomings.

Chimera managed to show her more loyalty than her full blood sister did, and it was past time for Venom to accept that tragic fact. Toxicity wasn’t on her side, and she should have realized that when she failed in the Pestilence situation. Toxicity was never her ally, just a snake waiting to take her chance to strike. Just as she struck at Pestilence.

Venom’s expression shifted from annoyance to pity as her sunset gaze took in her scarred sister. Once sister. ”I will never give up my father’s name.” She declared softly. ”Toxicity, your living in the spirit world has left you blind to the physical realm.You have no idea what you speak of. You are the one unworthy to bear Abraxas sacred name.” Venom hadn’t moved since words were exchanged, but she stood taller, she held all the confidence an Empress should boast with the power of an Empire behind her. She only vaguely realized that Hattori had dismissed their children, though she would have had them watch.

Venom was merciful, if nothing else. ”Leave the Empire now, with your pride and name intact, or I will make you regret the fact we were ever family.” Her voice lowered as her head did, her joints bent and she tucked her chin. Her companions had heard the commotion and appeared from the forest. Poison on his branch above her and Anko from the shadows.
