Another wonderful day shines over Birnin Zana, the capital city of Wakanda. Even now a year into what scientist called the Convergence event, when people and later locations from other realities started to merge with the Earth. After the panic some stability was achieved, despite the Earth being constantly shifting. Even now however the source of the event remains unknown and everyone is trying cope as best they can.
Even Wakanda wasn’t safe as the outer areas of the land where merged with a world where monstrous lizards roamed the jungles and plains. This was Wakanda however and they managed to deal with it and stability was achieved. Until a few months ago when another breech gave Wakanda a new neighbor.
Pyramids floating in the air just outside the borders of Wakanda. These men and woman had lived thousands of years ago in Egypt where they were saved from slaughter by their pharaoh and leader Anakaris. Powerful in life he had become even more powerful in death and risen to save his country. While there was no open antagonism between their new neighbors and Wakanda it could be described as…strained. There had been rumors circling about a new religion in the lands of Wakanda whose origins could be found among the hallowed halls of the pyramids but nothing in this new world was certain the King of Wakanda did not want to create a diplomatic situation through heresy.
Speaking of, the king, T’Challa, even known as the Black Panther, was in one of the offices of the Wakandan palace looking over paperwork and considering his options. Even if the Convergence event was vast and overreaching, he had done his best to keep chaos at a minimum. The threat of poachers had increased during this time. A hefty price could be fetched from the monsters that were felled. Exclusivity after all ranked up the prices considerably, but the poor hunters who didn’t get caught by the Dora Miaje usually ended up as a meal to the monsters. Even so human tenacity was well known and T’Challa knew that the threat of death would not deter anyone. As he was working he heard a knock on the door and one of his personal guard entered the room.
“My liege, you- you have a visitor.” The hesitation in the guard’s voice made T’Challa cock an eyebrow.
“Yes? That’s not a peculiar thing is it?”
“No my liege but…” He hesitated again. “She says that unless she gets an audience Wakanda as a nation will be engulfed in a sea of flame.”
Now that certainly sounded ominous. T’Challa wasn’t quite sure what to make of the situation. Was this woman sending a threat or a warning? There was only one way to find out then. “Send her in, but do not stray too far away from the door.” The guard nodded his head and headed after the guest. T’Challa decided that it was perhaps best to put his game face on and with a push of a button on his wrist made the Black Panther outfit materialized on him. Now he could only wait to see who this illustrious guest could be.
