its a celebration

A visit from her oldest ally and closest friend among the other alphas of Boreas was certainly a surprise, but very much a welcome one. Even though it wasn't her duty to welcome wolves at the border any longer, she wouldn't deny her desire to see Venom again as the Empress came to pay Elysium a visit in the darkness of the moonlit evening. Slipping away from Alastor's side, she made her way down the mountain path at a brisk trot, arriving just after her lovely daughter. She gave Avacyn a proud smile, glad to see that the new Matriarch was already stepping into her role and greeting their visitor first, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before turning her aqua gaze toward Venom. "It's so lovely to see you again, Venom," she said affectionately, her tail wagging gently behind her as she stood across from her at Avacyn's side. "I'm certain you'll want to see Ikigai while you're here, but I know my new Matriarch would love a chance to speak with you as well," she added with a gesture toward her daughter.
