Black Panther: The Young Prince — page 3 — CHAPTER ONE The young prince fled through the forest his pursuer hot on his heels His heartbeat thundered in his ears He couldn't give up Not this time He ducked a low-hanging branch and splashed through a muddy creek His attacker was gaining on him He could almost hear his breath on his back There Up ahead a fallen tree He jumped and His legs were pulled out from under him

Black Panther: The Young Prince — page 4 — He crashed to the ground Strong hands grabbed his ankles He tried to break free but his foe rolled him over and pinned him to the damp forest floor I got you this time M'Baku hissed Nowhere to run now The young prince gasped for air Okay okay he said You won This time Wanna go again M'Baku rose and extended a hand pulling his friend up with a firm grip If it hadn't been for that log the prince started brushing dirt from his linen trousers M'Baku smirked Excuses excuses I beat you fair and square T'Challa T'Challa looked up and cocked his head Don't you know it's not smart to mock your superiors M'Baku bowed low in fake sincerity Oh mighty prince please forgive me for the error of my ways I am but a lowly servant T'Challa rolled his eyes M'Baku was T'Challa's closest friend They did everything everything together sneaking out when they were supposed to be studying playing practical jokes on unsuspecting victims and sometimes venturing as far as the neighboring city even though T'Challa was supposed to have a personal guard with him at all times Like now for instance One thing he would never forget was the look on his father's face when he came home late once after being gone
