not so typical annoying little brother

While Plague took charge of the pack for a while Venom couldn’t ignore her duty completely. It wasn’t in her nature to take time away, so even in this it was business as usual. Or as close to usual as she could achieve. She did better everyday, growing and recovering from the massive blow she endured. She just had to remember who she was. She had taken Ashen’s throne by herself and she would maintain it just as well on her own.

Really though, Venom wasn’t ever alone. She still had her brother at her side, her children had all remained and did their best to help her too. She thought of sweet Ikigai when she found herself struggling the hardest. Her daughter’s words repeated over in her mind when her own efforts didn’t seem enough. There was another she could rely on as well, however much distance remained between them, and she found her white gloved paws carrying her to his border.

Their relationship had always been complicated, but Chimera always stood by his word. At the very least she could trust him in that. More so than her own husband. While she was out in the world, allowing the breeze to push her where it would, Venom stopped at Fenmyre’s border. For a moment she stood silently, taking in the sights before her. She watched her younger brother grow from petulant child, to successful King.

She didn’t have a particular reason or goal to accomplish in appearing here, and yet she tipped back her head and asked for Chimera’s presence. As the moon began to rise and the night was really coming to life.
