everything the light touches

Venom couldn’t see her daughter as she sat up properly, but she could hear the way her tail thumped against the sand. As mother spoke to child, the girl’s silence would prove a tell at how enthralled the youngest Klein Princess was to the information that she was being given. When a child, especially Venom’s children, was quiet she knew there was either trouble, or their attention was fully wrapped up. Rebel was listening quite intently as her mother spoke. Venom’s intention was not to scare the young girl, only give her a healthy respect for the dangers that the ocean could cause.

Rebel’s curiosity was obviously ignited with her mother’s words, as her imagination went wild she asked about what kind of life forms could live within the ocean. Venom lived much of her life on the archipelago, she had seen many strange and wondrous creatures throughout her life. "Creatures beyond your imagination.” She began, thinking on everything she had seen. "From colorful, small fish to incredible beasts of impossible size. Gentle whales and fearsome sharks, rays and skates that seem to fly instead of swim in the water…” Venom offered wistfully, hoping she helped to satiate some of Rebel’s curiosity. Even if she had already warned her she wouldn’t ever know the full extent of the ocean’s mysteries.
