some things stay the same

Venom felt los tsince Ashen had fallen through Chimera’s paws. Like a part of her identity was suddenly lost to the winds. Her family was now scattered, and she felt broken and useless. She hadn’t been able to face Avacyn of Elysium so she had not followed her brother to their sister pack. Instead she lingered in the red rocks,uncertain what the next step would be. Of course her husband would be there to prop her up, and if she did not have him Venom was uncertain if she would have had the strength to carry on after such loss.

Another day of laying in the caverns as she moped and mourned for the tragic blow that had befallen her. Uncertainty at its highest point as she closed her eyes and tried to relax to the sound of the underground streams. A heavy sigh from her lips as she thought about the life that continued on in Boreas without her, and she wondered if she had even made a mark or if anyone would remember her name.

News of her granddaughter taking up a pack had reached her, and the thought had lingered in her mind with pride. She wondered if she might do some good if she and her mate were to offer their power to Delphi. She hadn’t brought it up yet, but surely Maverick would feel the hope of his wife looking towards the future again.
