The Sweetest Night Flower of Wakanda Prologue
Millions of years ago a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa. Affecting the plant life around it. And when the time of men came five tribes settled on it and called it Wakanda. The tribes lived in constant war with each other until a warrior shaman received a vision from the Panther Goddess Bast who led him to the heart-shaped herb. A plant that granted him superhuman strength, speed, and instincts. The warrior became King and the first Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Four tribes agreed to live under the Kings rule, but the Jabari Tribe isolated themselves in the mountains.
The Wakandan's used vibranium to develop technology more advanced than any other nation. But as Wakanda thrived the world around it descended further into chaos. To keep vibranium safe the Wakandan's vowed to hide in plain sight, keeping the truth of their power from the outside world.
Years passed and Wakanda fell into a state of peace and tranquility lacking from the rest of the worlds populations. But in the year 1992 an incident threatened to destroy the serenity the Wakandan's had worked so hard to maintain.
In Oakland California the current Black Panther and King of Wakanda, T'Chaka traveled from his home country to visit his brother N'Jobu. N'Jobu had taken an assignment in America as a War Dog, to merely observe on the world around him and report back. What N'Jobu hadn't been aware of was this his brother had sent another War Dog named Zuri out as a spy to report on his brothers comings and goings. It was because of this spy that T'Chaka had learned of his brother's treachery.
N'Jobu did the unthinkable. He told an outsider where to find vibranium inside Wakanda. That outsider was a black market arms dealer, smuggler, and gangster going by the name of Ulysses Klaue a known mercenary in the criminal underworld.
N'Jobu's intentions were pure, but his hopes were naive. Having watched their brothers and sisters in the outside world suffer because they didn't have the tools to fight back he sought to help them. With vibranium weapons the suppressed could've overthrown all the other countries and Wakanda could rule them all in what he considered in his mind the right way.
So N'Jobu aided the very evil he wished to destroy in his desire to fulfill that dream.
Klaue stole a quarter ton of vibranium, triggering a bomb of the border and taking many lives down with him.
This was the very reason why T'Chaka was confronting his brother now at the word of his informant.
In the end T'Chaka was forced to eliminate his own blood to protect Wakanda and its people.
Fearing the state Wakanda would fall into in light of N'Jobu's betrayal T'Chaka made the choice to leave his brothers body behind and order Zuri to never speak of this tragedy to anyone. Lest the truth be known and chaos would ensue. So King T'Chaka and Zuri took the vibranium N'Jobu had concealed in his home and left for Wakanda.
But the vibranium wasn't the only thing King T'Chaka took with him that night. No the precious cargo he took back home was far more valuable than anything else on this earth.
Authors Note:
I'll give you one guess on what that "precious cargo" would be.
Just so you guys are aware I need the movie on ITunes to write this story efficiently and unless a book of the movie is released I won't there another for a long time. So it may be a while before the next chapter comes out.
I promise I will do the best I can.
I'm having a little difficulty thinking of a name for my character. I was thinking like Night from Queen of Katwe or Tamu which is Swahili for sweet. Which one do you guys think sounds better?
Also, what direction do you guys think my story is going to go? ;)
