breaking waves of change

She was still here. Quiet, thinking, planning, but still here. She had be denied by two women, but she was not here to ruin them. She was here to make a change. No man slaves, but men living with them, men who respect women and who even once lived in the Jungle once. The male children of the jungle. Not some sex driven nimrods that had no respect for females. No. Naga hated men like that, but it was men like Simeon, a jungle child, son of Scorch, that gave her the idea of giving the men their own caste and title in this kingdom. Yes, so a few were active lately more so than she, she was proud of them. But to be denied because of new ideas or a slow start? That was just not fair. But, it was expected of the stubborn jungle women that clung to their old ways and pride as much as they could in this new world.

She was too very much still mourning the loss of the jungle, but it was not spared like the rest of the lands for a reason. There HAD to be a change, and Naga knew the change would have to be that they become a little more open minded to new ideas. The Jungle was gone. The sisterhood still remained....they just had brothers now. The women still run the kingdom, have higher titles and history rich with strong female warrior women. It was not like Naga was asking much of them to allow kind hearted men live among them. What if they had colts? Would they want her to kick them out once they turned three? Or give them the choice to leave on their own, or stay in Nerine with their families and be treated fairly and not as a man slave like the old days.

Our dark seemingly failed queen sighed long and deep. She had failed them. Just as she was destined to do, so many of the women shot her down and disliked her from the start. Her lifelong dream, crushed. Smashed. She was smashed down into a pulp. She figured she would patrol the border to keep her mind away from spiraling down into somewhere dark. She padded along, still showing a elegant and strong exterior, despite her saddened mind. Though her eyes could give her feelings away. She was not angry or bitter, just saddened.

The cliffs stood strong and tall, waves crashing up onto them in a steady rhythm. She felt her heart begin to beat in sync. Her saddened green eyes flickered toward the borders of the kingdom, surveying, looking for signs of life. Though so far she was coming up dry.

High and Dry.

If only Draconis had found her way to Nerine, if only Naga could have found Rhy's children and bring them and whomever took them under their care to this beautiful salty black beach. She would have had her little family back. In her mind she could see twin children playing with Draconis, and she would be counting like the old days while they all played hide and go seek like she and Draconis used to play back in the jungle. She saw the sisters basking happily and contently in the sun warmed sands, sunlight falling down onto their briny coats. A land of contentment, peace, and loyalty. But, now...all she could see were a few remaining loyal sisters and men, and a seemingly barren kingdom....

Maybe she still had a chance, maybe she could make something work....but how? Was there even a way she could still redeem herself, redeem the kingdom. She needed this to somehow work out...
