When you said we are going to open Wakanda for the rest of the world, this is not what I imagined.
What did you imagine?
The Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks.

What is more beautiful, my love? Love lost or love found? Don’t laugh at me, my love. I know it, I’m awkward and naïve, when it comes to love and I ask questions straight out of a pop song. This doubt overwhelms me and undermines me, my love. To find or to lose? All around me, people don’t stop yearning. Did they lose or did they find? I can’t say. An orphan has no way of knowing. An orphan lacks a first love. The love for his mama and papa. That’s the source of his awkwardness, his naïveté. You said to me, on that deserted beach in California: “You can touch my legs”. But I didn’t do it. There, my love, is love lost. That’s why I never stop wondering since: where you’ve been? And where you are now? And you, shining gleam of my misspent youth, did you lose or did you find? I don’t know. And I will never know. I can’t even remember your name, my love. And I don’t have the answer. But this is how I like to imagine it, the answer. In the end, my love, we have no choice. We have to find.

Amunet was the consort of Amun-Ra, one of the great gods. He was the first ‘Hidden One.’ The original serpent prince. So named not for any particular reptilian qualities, but for the power of rebirth; like a snake shedding it’s skin. Everlasting, perpetual life… sustained by feeding on the souls of others. Amunet and Amun-Ra never appeared in the same incantation. It is inconceivable in Pharaonic Religion to conjoin them, their narratives are kept completely separate. Because if they ever came together, Amunet would become the mother of evil. All light would end, the world would live in darkness. The hidden ones would emerge and rule. Amunet-Amun-Ra conjoined. This is a spell foretelling the annihilation of man and the coming of the beast. I would not tell Miss Ives this. After all, who wants to know they’re being hunted by the Devil?
