The Sunspire [m] sun born

makono had always wedged herself where a man belonged. prince, soldier, pharaoh. now she chased the scent of a woman as if she was equipped to handle this too.

she tried to not think on how she missed the roman's presence in the barren canyon below. how he might have guided her with the pointed direction of a general as she scaled now. he had made her a tactician in these lands and it showed in her expertise climbing, in her slinking prowl against stone walls.

makono could not give this woman children.

still she flexed her strength and even the marring of her features. peacocked for the woman to admire. she was committed to showing she was just as good as any man, if not better.

that did not mean this woman would think so.
