Birth of The Prince
[Wakanda : 02/07/1966]
In the north-east of the African continent there was a small country, with a long cultural tradition and stories that would fill a library, in the center of that country there was a city that could only be discreet as a piece of an ecologically correct future, with a mixture of African culture, that was the golden city Birnin Zana.
In the palace that was in Birnin Zana the screams of a woman filled a hall, they were the rooms of the King and Queen, and outside of it was King T'Chaka, wearing his Black Panther costume, the protective mantle that was passed down from generation to generation among the kings of Wakanda, worshiping the main Goddess of the country, the Goddess Bast.
T'Chaka was nervous, it was the woman he loved all his life, and his first child, he could hear every contraction and every breath, and that only made it worse, hours passed and his face then lightened when the cries baby showers filled the hall, but soon faded when he no longer heard his wife's heartbeat.
He entered the hall, it was a huge room with a glamorous double bed, but none of that mattered, he saw his trusted friend, Zuri carrying his son towards him, and then turning his head he saw the lifeless body of his wife.
"The queen resisted until the end, but unfortunately it took a lot out of her body, but before she left she left a name." Zuri said as she handed the young Prince to her father, who caught him in a daze.
"She named him T'Challa, after you, and asked that the boy be loved doubly by you." Zuri said holding back tears for the loss of her queen.
T'Chaka lifted his son, the boy stopped crying and then let out an innocent laughing sound, bringing a little joy to the face of the old king, who opened a smile.
"So...T'Challa!!. Zuri, announce that the mantle of the Black Panther has an heir!!, and we will make a feast fit for the Great Goddess!!" T'Chaka announced with as much will as he could muster.
That night the city was celebrating, in honor of the birth of the crown prince, as they mourned and honored their beloved queen, soon the news spread across the country and in the end none of them could notice that baby T'Challa had something special, the soul of a young man from another world.
But that would be for another time.
[Birnin Zana : 02/07/1976]
POV : T'Challa
It's been ten years since I came to this life, living as an African prince was quite interesting, it wasn't as shown by the Prince of New York, I had to train and study a lot, but thanks to my more experienced mind and intellectual capacity than Previous T'Challa himself was well above average in both.
One interesting thing was that my father had remarried, and to a foreigner after all, her name was Ramonda who had escaped Apartheid, and taken on Wakandan nationality, and now she was pregnant with my sister.
The last few years I spent gaining as much skills and knowledge as possible , unfortunately I had no gift for magic but I understood it well enough to fight back , other than that the rest came like a sponge and I had a lot of ideas to put this knowledge into practice.
Now as it was my birthday I could order something and I already had something in mind.
"Baba!!" I say running to him.
"Yes my son?" My dad asked as he put some files away.
"Can I have my lab?" I went straight to the point.
"Why do you need a laboratory? , despite being very smart you are still only a child my son." My dad said slightly confused.
"Because despite my age, I believe I can bring relevant advancements to our nation, not to mention the rest of the world is developing very quickly, with these so-called superheroes." I say remembering the news of superheroes from that time period, like Wildcat or original Black Canary.
"I'm still not convinced, but since you rarely ask for anything, I believe I can grant your wish, as long as you have supervision." My dad said leaving no room for argument I just hugged him and thanked him for it.
"Thank you Baba, I won't forget this!!" I say as I run out to see my friends, I haven't made many since my identity usually makes things awkward but there were two that still befriended me.
I ran through the palace corridors until I reached the gardens, where I saw my two friends, a boy a little older than me , only two years older than me, wearing traditional Wakanda clothing, including that face accessory, while the other was my age and wore more modern clothes like pants and loose shirt.
"W'Kabi!!, Taku!!, I'm here!!" I say with a smile, the two were in yet another one of their discussions about the traditional versus the modern, they were usually a lot of fun.
"My prince, please tell this fool that his manners are simply too vulgar." W'kabi said as he pointed at Taku.
"I can say the same for all those useless props, they are simply a means to immobilize you." Taku responded in kind.
"For your information, these are props passed down through generations in my family, we wear them with honor and respect, however you choose to go with these garments without soul or personality." W'kabi replied, the two faced each other and it looked like sparks could come out of there.
"Okay, enough you two, weren't we going to investigate some animals in the forest?" I say while taking a deep breath, I don't know how the three of us ended up becoming friends, but I guess I had no choice now.
"Ah yes I just remembered seeing a huge fish near the river!" Taku said forgetting the previous quarrel.
"Really!?, what color and size was it?!" And then a long discussion about the species of fish seeped into the conversation, as we walked into the forest to explore, I honestly think I could live my life like this, no more worries.
The beginning of young T'Challa's journey, so as not to get messed up the universe used will be that of the DCAU, to differentiate the stories a little, and also to use the classic Black Panther styles designed by the legendary Jack Kirby.
