Lion Head Mesa electrum

princess @Toula had been given the same education as her sisters and brothers. when he summoned her that afternoon to join him, he expected the same poise exhibited by her elder siblings.
unfortunately for toula, it was makono who had come to set the standard for the trio of princesses.
but both gentle ashikaga and her ambitious sister were in reach of the throne. little toula might never carry the heavy burden, expectation, and threat of divine rulership. 
and so pharaoh was perhaps more doting with her. he lay among scattered flowers out of doors beside the serpent, watching its lazy waters as he waited.
