A Son’s Most Powerful Woman
“Imagine the most powerful woman in the Spiral, Alonzo.”
Alonzo nodded his head. He could. He sees her perfectly.
“Her hair,”
Her hair was black, the curls bouncy and reflected the light around them, crowning her head like its own crown. It was long, draping past her waist to the back of her thighs, swishing like a cat’s tail whenever she moved. Her two “horns”, as Uncle Able called them, curled at the top of her head, announcing her presence whenever she walked through a crowd.
“The color of her eyes,”
That one wasn’t hard. Her eyes were her most notable feature. A shade of bright blue that almost looked as if they were glowing. Clear and shining whenever she smiled down at him, twinkling with delight. Stormy and burning with the fire of rage whenever someone dared to challenge her. Cold and sharp as ice whenever she faced her enemies, in battle or otherwise. He sort of inherited, the mixing of those blues and the gray of his father giving him the harsh steel color of blue gray for him.
“Yes, but the strength of her posture. The poise of her entire being. Do you see her?”
Yes, he could see her as clear as day. He has always seen her. Her spine as straight and unyielding as worked steel as she sat on top her golden throne, matching the steel of her gaze. Her poise radiated “predator” to all who even dared to think of the idea of challenging her. Ready to pounce and tear apart at the drop of a hat. But never toward him. Whenever he appeared, her stature shifted from Queen to Mother. Her stony face cracked apart to reveal the bright smile and the pride in her eyes.
“Yes. I do see.”
“And who is she?”
Just as he was about to answer, the doors opened to reveal the most powerful woman in the Spiral. Mama. Empress Lucette. At her appearance, his face broke into a wide grin.
“Mama.”
