time will tell

Venom’s ivory gloved paws carried her easily on the path around her patrol. So much was happening within Ashen’s borders recently. There were two marriages to soon celebrate, Plague was going to slowly bid his farewells, and hopefully there would soon be new blood within. That was another conversation she wanted to have with her brother before he fully retired. Venom couldn’t see what the pack would look like a year from now, but by all measures, Ashen was thriving and growing. Her little ones were not so little anymore, growing bigger every day.

They would soon have more responsibility in the pack, and she expected all four of them would soon exceed even her expectations of them. Only time would tell the future, and Venom knew it was oh so bright for her youths. A small grin plays on her lips as the thoughts play through her mind and she scales the redwater rocks. Deft paws bring her up the paths so she is above the incredible formations and she is given a bird’s eye view of Ashen’s territories. Bathed in moonlight the Empress lowers herself to her haunches. Sunset eyes scanning the horizon with contentment.
