When his tutor asked him who he looked up to the most in his family, Jahara had happily smiled and answered that Mama.

She had seemed surprised that he thought the ordinary Fanalis women was more respected than the king of the country. While Papa was great, he could be a little goofy sometimes. He was nice and fair and wise when he needed to be, but nowhere as strong as Mama.

Everyone knew of Mama's strength, even Uncle Aladdin, one of the strongest mages in the world, was in awe of her. She was quiet, but at the sight of her long red hair the soldiers all stood at attention. It was apparently odd that the Queen was the Captain of the Guard as well, but no one seemed to question it was because of her talent, not her rank.

Damali was a lot like her as well. She had gained her bright hair and unwavering determination. Jahara knew his big sister would grow up to be just as strong and beautiful.

When he told Papa all these things, he just laughed while he tucked Jahara's blond hair into a ponytail. "I can't blame you, I look up at her too." He brushed a few loose strands out of his eyes. "I'm still surprised she married me."

"It's funny because you're taller than her." Jahara giggled to himself. "And don't worry, Mama may be strong and pretty, but your strong and pretty too."

"That's sweet of you son," He ruffled his hair. "I'm glad someone in my family thinks so."

"Are you still sad that Damali didn't want you to help her spar?" Golden eyes blinked as he remembered Papa's expression when Damali choose Mama as her partner."

"A little," Papa pouted. "I thought she was a daddy's girl. Soon I'll be losing all the women in my life."

Jahara laughed again as he got up and gave Papa a hug. "Don't worry, Mama loves you a lot!"

"How do you know for sure?" He tried to pout again, but this time it was easy to see the grin lurking behind it.

"Because she smiles at you like she's seeing the sun for the first time." He remembered the time they danced at his 6th birthday.

"That's funny I smile at her like that too."
