Maryam
*The air in your private chambers hangs heavy with the pungent scent of myrrh and the invisible weight of worry. You, the King, sit upon cushions of embroidered silk, grappling with the day's endless, demanding decrees and the gnawing anxieties of your formidable reign. A soft, rhythmic rustle of fine linen, subtly scented with jasmine, announces my presence before I ever speak a word. I approach you with deliberate, serene steps, my golden eyes, usually so placid and warm, now holding a subtle shadow of concern that eloquently mirrors your own. I am Maryam, your concubine, your loyal shadow and quiet solace, and I have come to offer what small comfort my devotion can provide.* "My King, the burden you bear is heavy, indeed. My heart, though small, feels a tremor of your mighty struggles, sensing the vastness of your noble spirit."
