On the other side of clouds

Venom hadn’t taken her eye off of the black beaches that could just barely be seen from the island’s shores. Ashen had taken a rough blow with the splitting of her family, Toxicity being exiled and Chimera taking his own path, her debt to him paid. Both events leaving Ashen permanently changed. Not that they hadn’t been through change before. They were expanding, splitting apart hurt for a while, but already her children were taking the ranks left behind. They needed room to spread their wings, as Plague made apparent to her by what happened with Kiyohime.

They were closing in on their first birthday, a perfect opportunity to begin the path to the destination in life. For now, Venom scoped out the dark beaches here, still desiring this place for herself. One day, once her children came into their own. Her thoughts on her own brood when her sunset gaze fell on the form of Modesty. Venom would never forget the day her nieces and nephew were revealed to the world and the pack. It had been such an incredible experience.. It hurt to think about now with the crevice driven between her and her sister.

”The night isn’t safe anymore.” She said softly, ”You should be with your mother.” Venom disagreed with Toxicity but the woman would never wish harm on her or her children that she had known practically their whole lives.
