Welcome to the Circus

Deathbelle could add another shortcoming to her lifelong list of regrets that would haunt her until the cold earth finally swallowed her up. Not being there when Kali fell would be the most painful of her mistakes, and the wound was fresh on her heart. She made her way slowly now, towards the call of the challenge. She wouldn’t fail Recluse yet again, when she finally arrived to watch the end of the mass of commotion.

Had she retained some of her vibrancy from her youth a plethora of emotions would have crossed her features then as violet eyes caught sight of so many familiar faces in one place. She pointedly tried to ignore the sight of Sirius as she found his silhouette a pain that masked any other shot through her chest as she quickly averted her gaze into the rest of the crowd. Chimera and Venom came into focus.

She stood on Habari’s side, but remained far enough away she wouldn’t get caught up in any immediate conversation or conflict. This fight would determine far more than she cared to admit as she was internally returned to a time similar to this, but so long ago. So much had changed during her course of years, and the memories returning brought both joy and sorrow as every regret flashed through her mind and the mistakes weighed heavy on her shoulders.
