Delphi was so much like her father, as well as all of her uncles and aunts. The brilliant koi like colors she flashed reminded her far more of the first litter she had raised. As well as her first husband. Venom had let go of her grudge against the man, though she still wasn’t sure a friendship was in order. He had given her such a lovely set of children, and now she was enjoying those grandchildren even more. Watching the girl play and explore without a hint of caution truly made Venom’s heart soar. Of course the little princess was in no real danger, Venom would make certain of that.

Venom chuckled as the child proclaimed her desire to stay. "You can stay as long as you want, but I think your mom and dad might need to have some say so.” All of her grandchildren were more than welcome within the Klein lands. The Empress would be overjoyed to have her stay.

She timidly asked where it was they were going. "I think some swimming could be arranged.” Venom chuckled softly as she encouraged the girl with a nudge to her hip. "Follow the sound of the water.” Venom gave her a clue. After only a little bit of walking, and some twisting down a couple of tunnels, they would eventually find themselves at a pool and waterfall. The water fell from high up, but even higher still were ancient water carved holes in the ceiling that let in enough light so it trickled down in many beautiful beams.
