growing pains [ASHEN MEETING]

Venom’s white gloved paws carried her into the pale ivory forest that surrounded the ancient shrine. On her way past her sunset gaze settled upon the glowing water, its light about to overtake that of the evening sun. Soon enough the stars would begin to show themselves in the darkening sky above. The day was coming to a close, but the Empress’s night was just getting started. So much had happened in the last year, so much to sway her mind and her path. New life was on the way, and the old traditions were beginning to crumble.

Ashen was about to take a hard turn, but she believed it for the better. For their futures and that of the coming generation. They would reclaim their roots, and reignite their greatness. The Empire slumbered for too long. Her ranks needed filling, and thankfully, she had plenty of apprentices to fill those ranks. Plenty that were ready to take on more responsibility within the pack. There were outside threats that would also need to be addressed.

She continued on past the shrine, to make her way to the meeting place. There was much to discuss, and many plans that needed to be prepared for. It was best not to toil. Venom lifted her head to the sky, calling forth all of Ashen’s wolves.
