Note: set before habari challenge.

Voodoo had agreed she wouldnt let her kids be like her. She hadnt left habaris lands until halfway through her first year of life. Maybe because attaching yourself to a pack and land was easier? Req stuck close to her his white fur fluffed up as they walked along the side of the falls. She made sure all four of them were within her sight.

"Jay, Tomie, Phantom make sure you stick close to each other and mom okay." she stated as she looked around. She was close to habari lands since she knew the herbs best. Not a part of her wondering if a ex pack mate she knew wouldnt show up though.

Deathbelle was wandering the border alone, unable to leave Habari despite how useless she felt. Still, she was taking her patrols, she saw to the pack’s herbs stores, and went through her days mainly on autopilot. Iolaire was the only one to really bring any life into her recently. Especially after her great-niece’s death. The news had rocked all of Habari. Deathbelle couldn’t bring herself to leave Recluse though, she couldn’t leave the volcano. There were many regrets and mistakes under her belt and they continued to accumulate and expand as her life went on. As many times as she wished everything had ended that day with Sirius, she felt hopeful when she looked up Habari’s youth. Recluse’s newest litter, and as she slowly walked the border, her own daughter with a litter of puppies.

Emotion didn’t often cross Deathbelle’s features anymore, but looking upon those beautiful puppies a smile hinted at her features, pulling up the corner of her lip. She was still here to meet them. ”Voodoo.” She greeted affectionately, if not incredibly softly. She had fallen far from the powerful woman she had once been. Belle looked much smaller these days as the weight of her life pulled heavily at her shoulders. ”What beautiful children.” She commented as her violet stare shifted from Voo to the young ones gathered at her feet.
