"Scaring you? Well, my intentions are my own," the wolf growled as she circled the panther. "you're in my territory, wolf," panther hissed. He was a human, yes, but he still didn't know if this canine would do significant or do wrong, so he wanted to be on the safe side. "afraid for a mere animal, are we your highness?" the wolf taunted while her white teeth displayed. Yes, T'challa had a suit working like a panther and claws of vibranium, but what was that again, raw nature, raw power? He could only hope the wolf would not wolf down on him at the moment. "look, human. I am here only cause you would need me sooner or later," Auroa snarled as she bounced back into the darkness of the forest, leaving t'challa utterly confused.

What did she mean by 'you would need me sooner or later? He thought while he walked back to the palace. "queen mother, I need to talk to you," the man called out to his mother, who sat on her throne. The queen beckoned her son over. "what do you need, child?" she said. T'challa took a deep breath before telling her about the mysterious wolf he met. Ramonda listened and didn't interrupt her son. When he was done, she placed a hand on his, looking him deep into his eyes. "what was her name?" she asked with such seriousness that the young king was surprised for a moment. "auroa," he answered, and the queen's face shifted even more serious. "get yourself ready, but be careful. She is not a simple wolf," she warned. T'challa nodded and went to suit up.
