Prompt # 198 –
If you could have any mutant/super power which one would it be and what would you do with it? (If you already have a mutant power, what one would you trade it in for?)
What is a ‘mutant’? What is a ‘super power’? Are they powerful Princes? I do not understand the question. How can I trade for something if I have no idea what this thing is?
I am a Queen, and against all odds I have come to rule. However, be that as it may, that power, which is superb. I cannot trade. I must not. For it is for the good of England and Her People that I must continue as their Queen. Is it mental clarity and diplomacy that give one a super power? I would like to think that as my father’s daughter I have at least some of his – and my mother’s intelligence. I regret to say, that if I do not understand the question, then I cannot be expected to answer it.
Would that Walsingham were here. Perhaps he could explain what a mutant is or what a super power might be.

Super Power
Prompt: If you could have any mutant/super power, which one would it be, and what would you do with it? (If you already have a mutant or super power, what one would you trade it in for?)
Don’t be absurd. I am half-Fae. I am already a “mutant” by some people’s standards. (I prefer the traditional term of ‘Halfling’, thank you very much.) I am what I am and I make neither apology nor excuse for it. Whatever ‘super’ powers that I have, I gone out and gotten them for myself. I don’t have wings, I cannot fly. I don’t have mental telepathy nor pregognative or telekenetic abilities. I am just simply slightly stronger than many who are fully human and considerably older. To some of my Fae kin I am neither strong nor too terribly old. I can fight with a sword, I can heal people using plant knowledge and I am a survivor.
Big deal.
Some people play the piano, whereas others couldn’t carry a tune in a basket slung over their forearm. Some people can write interesting and compelling prompts while others, well……

7. I think that there are those of my Fae kin who are pretentious bastards with a chip on their shoulder that is entirely too large and egos that are far from justified.

Congratulations! You’ve been granted one wish. What is it?
‘Wishes’ are for those who lack the sufficient Will and ambition to make things happen for themselves. What good does it do to ‘wish’ if something in our lives were different, or that an event had not happened or had happened? As the saying goes: ‘ If wishes were horses, then beggars (and cowards) would ride.’ I assure you, I am neither. Anything I have ever wanted in life, I have gone out and gotten it for myself, without the need to pine nor to wish for it. And without any remorse for having done so.
I do know that I quite often have a desire for better questions from the querent. And there are times when that “wish” is sometimes granted. But more oft times than not, I am accosted with the redundant re-phrasings of questions that have been asked many a time before. No doubt they are posed in the hopes that somewhere along the way our answers might change if the words were but arranged differently.

villain vs. hero
Who is the hero and who is the villain depends greatly upon your point of view and where you find yourself standing in this grand scheme of life. Who is a patriot and who is a traitor? Who is a defender or conqueror and who the usurper- all of these answers within the mind and hearts of those who recount what came to pass.
Who was the hero and who was the villain when my mother lost her life when I was so small? Was England wrong to lay ruin to the Scottish village of Dunnlauden and slay my Uncle who would bend neither neck nor knee to them in acknowledgement of their so-called ‘authority’? Who was avenged and who was aggrieved when I took the life of Morgienne with my own hands in vengeance for her complicity in my mother’s murder? Who was wrong when I decided to remain true to my word and marry the wrong man, thus breaking the heart of the one whom I loved and who loved me? Who was the reviled one when the Comte de Rochefort’s men stabbed my fiance’ in the back and Sebastien slew them all himself in payment for their treachery against his one-time brother? Who was the wronged party when later both Athos and Sebastien met upon the field, costing my husband his very life?
A wise man once told me, well after I had grown to womanhood, and when I once had a doubt about which category I fell under, he allayed my fears. He took my small hands into his much larger ones that were like great gnarled bear paws, “Listen t’meh words of prayer, child,” Nevan said stroking across the backs of my hands with his thumbs, ” Listen t’ them carefully and ye’ll find the answer t’yer own questions: ‘ When I whet my flashing sword and my hand takes hold in judgement, I shall take vengeance upon mine enemies and I will repay those who haze me…’ .” The rest I knew, even though I was no practising Catholic. In those days, in those moments, came the reassurances of a father to a daughter. And there also came the same sort of reassurances from a husband to his wife; whether villain or hero, one does what one must. It should be of little concern how the rest of the world views you – as long as you can end up living with yourself.
