New Travels

She tried to give her paws more free reign, Venom felt a need to see the lands around her home. For so long she lived where Ashen now stood and never went anywhere, but she was given a taste of travel and she knew she wanted more. It was good for her troubled soul and she didn’t have to dwell on the thoughts that weighed so heavily on her heart.

She made her way through the sea and over to the unknown island. Another place she had not been to before. There were more places that she hadn’t seen than she had seen, which was pitiful considering her age and status. So slowly the Empress would rectify that failure.

White gloved paws brought her to the shore of a silvery white beach and she pulled her thin frame from the salty water. She shook herself, ridding her coat of most of the water as a chill wind blew through. Venom needed to get into the forest and out of the wind until she was dried. She pressed on into the forest and it didn’t take long for her to realize she was not alone. Part of her was sure it would be Duchess, here to meet her on yet another island, but the scent of her was wrong.

"Who’s there?” She asked softly into the trees around her.

"Venom"
