The four of us rushed in to T'Challa's side. "Impossible." She flung off her blanket and the three of them touched his skin. I could see the ice all over his face. "Is he breathing?" Nakia asked.
"He is in a coma, barely clinging to life." M'Baku answered, I could tell he wasn't happy. You'd think he'd be happy that T'Challa would die so he could take the throne.
I sat more back beside Shuri. This is insane, he got thrown off a cliff without any powers. He should be dead. I rubbed my face from stress. He looked lifeless though, he was so cold.
M'Baku continued. "One of our fishermen found him at the edge of the river border. He brought him to me."
Shuri looked at M'Baku, sat up a bit and pointed at T'Challa "Why do you have him in the snow?"
"It is the only thing keeping him from joining the ancestors." M'Baku answered. So he is basically dead. I felt the snow. Who knew the cold could actually keep someone from death.
Well I don't count. Neither does my dad...and Bucky...and Phillip probably. My expression changed thinking about Phillip. We need to heal T'Challa fast so we can get rid of Killmonger and I can leave to find Masha so I can put Phillip in a supermax ocean prison.
Shuri looked back at us. "We need to get him to my lab! I can heal him there." No way. The trip is too long. "Take him. He'll be dead in seconds." M'Baku read my mind.
Everyone looked to me. "Hazel, you can remove the cold right?" Nakia asked me. I laughed a bit then realized they were being serious. "No! I never messed with people's bodies. I don't know what I'll do. It's a bad idea." I shook my head a bit.
Queen Ramonda then looked at Nakia. "Nakia, the Herb." Bloody brilliant, That will heal him. Nakia handed the Herb to Queen Ramonda and she put it the in mortar beside her and started to crush the herb with the pestle
Once it was crushed up she held the mortar and spoke. "I call upon the ancestors. I call upon Bast. I am here with my son T'Challa. Heal him."
I looked to my side and saw M'Baku turning around and Ross awkwardly following his lead. I was about to stand up but Shuri grabbed my arm for support and leaned on me, her and everyone's expression really had pure desperation.
Queen Ramonda put her hand under T'Challa's head and had him drink the Herb. After it was gone she looked at us all. "We must bury him, cover him." She began scooping the snow and covering his skin. I just followed their lead and piled the snow over his skin.
Once he was covered we all sat back and Queen Ramonda started praying to the ancestors. "Praise the Ancestors." She said in Xhosa. Shuri and Nakia began repeating it with Queen Ramonda but I just shut my eyes and fought my tears.
Please don't take another one from me. Come back T'Challa, your people and loved ones need you.
