Breathe (African novel) [GL]

<p>The brunnette orisha stared at herself in the bathroom mirror for a few moments. Her skin was not as shiny as it used to be, she had bags under her eyes and her hair looked like it was thinning out. She always prided herself on her strength and excellence but even a god spawn needed a break sometimes.  </p>

<p>"Nikky? Sœur, you in there?" her brother called out from the room. She leaned forward on the sink and studied her iris. They burnt a blazing amber and then black before a rush of blood went into her brain. She squeezed her eyes shut and massaged her temple before sighing and calling out "gimme a sec!" to her brother. With one more splash of water to her face, she took a shaky breath and composed herself. She needed to be strong for her brother, her King.  </p>
