Asha has lived in the tiny nation of wakanda for as long as she can remember. She trains to become a Dora Milaje warrior. Fate has other plans for Asha as she finds truth about her true identity. In the attempt to discover her truth she is captured...
Namor whispers to me in my ear as he caress my hair. We stand by the river embracing each other, and I lean back to see his face and his eyes connect with mines.
" Is Wakanda really safe for me now?" I ask and take his hand in mine and squeeze it.
Namor sighs taking my hand back to his mouth to slowly kiss it.
" We have no other choice, but I will go speak to the Queen myself and try to stop her."
"And what if she doesn't listen to you?" I ask.
"She will have to, I am their ruler, she is just a secondary one. She takes commands from me." He says sternly.
I smile slowly as I see the fierceness in his eyes as he spoke those words. He smiles back at me and I nod my head.
"Ok, whatever you say KuKulkan." I playfully say and he leans back in to place a kiss on my lips.
"I will see you soon." He says as he looks me in the eyes and turns to jump back into the river waters. I watch as he disappears underneath the waters returning to the sea.
I take a breath as I listen to the sounds of nature all around me. It is early morning, and their is a heavy mist that covered the river waters, that makes it look like I am in the clouds.
Their is a crack of sunlight from the sunrise that started to emerge from the mountains that shines directly onto me.
I decide to sit down on the ground, cross legged and take this moment to meditate to bring in this day. I close my eyes and start to pray to my ancestors.
Thank you ancestors for this day
I ask for peace of mind
Not just for me, but for my country and the people I love
I ask for protection over myself, and to do thy will you have for me
And this is so
Today, would be the day I spoke to Queen Shuri again. I had to be strong and just get straight to the point about the heart shape herb.
As the elevator doors open, Shuri is revealed in her lab and when she sees me she smiles lightly.
"Oh, I'm so glad you were able to come again. Come in." She says and I walk into the lab looking around at how huge it is.
"I know the last time we spoke, it didn't go so well, and I revealed some things to you." Shuir says as she clears off a lab table.
"Yes, it was alot." I say and Shuri tunrs to look at me.
" I was hoping we could try again and-leave the less important things out."
Agreed. I'm actually relieved to hear that.
"Sounds great, so where should we start."
We began to speak about our experience in Wakanda and Talokan. I explained some things to Shuri about my identity and how I am half blood of the Talokan people. She didn't seem surprised at that, but more interested.
We spoke mostly about everything without bringing namor into the conversation. It was best that it wasn't spoken about again between us. Shuri has had her own experience with him, and I have had my own.
"So they have a shaman? And they apparently have a similar heart shaped herb much like our own?" Shuri asks
"Yes, I took it and I had a very spiritual experience with it."
Shuris eyes widen.
"What did you see?" She asks curiously.
"Well, its hard to explain. It was like I was back home, but I had never seen this place before. But something so familiar about it. And, I saw my mother."
Shuri continues to listen.
" Its crazy to say that especially since ,I've never actually have had any memories with her, because she died in child birth."
"Im so sorry." Shuri says sadly.
I shake my head. "No, its okay. It was really special though. Its like I knew it was her. and she came before me and reminded me."
"That's so very special, Asha."
"She said the power I hold is good, and that power being Love always wins." I say and Shuri looks at me astounded.
"Wow, that is beautiful. I can agree the heart shaped herb is a gift from above. A quick way to visit the ancestral plane. Of course here, it is traditional and only the black panther can consume it."
the black panther?
" Your saying someone of the royal panther bloodline can only take the herb here?" I ask curiously.
"Of course, that is how its always been."
I'm not to sure where I can go from this. Should I just tell her what the Shaman from Talokan told me? I'm not sure if me taking the panther herb would violate their traditions?
"I know this may seem unusual, but is their a way..an outsider could take it?" I ask questionably and Shuri squints her eyes.
"You mean someone outside the royal bloodline? Yeah I am actually not sure."
"Could it possibly kill someone?"
" I don't think so? Why do you ask?" Shuri asks curiously.
I take a breath and think of something to introduce my idea of taking the herb. I suddenly lift my hands and emerge my light source lighting up the whole room.
Shuri suddenly is startled and stumbles back covering her face. "What is that?!"
"Its Okay Shuri, its just me. Well, my powers."
"Powers?" She says as she continues to cover her face.
"When I ate that plant it somehow transformed my dna to talokan, but also gave me this ability which is different because no other talokan has it."
Shuri slowly stands to her feet observing me. "It is incredible it shines just as bright as-"
"Vibranium."We both say at the same time.
I focus on the ball of light and control it with my mind , lifting it from my hands higher into the air.
"I don't understand, why are you telling me this?" Shuri suddenly asks.
"Because, my powers have been warning me, and I was told I must take the heart shaped herb here."
