#for context sunjata is a superpowered boy-king destined to defeat the evil sorcerer sosso#and command all of mali. but he wouldn’t have known how to kill sosso if not for his older sister#who seduced sosso into admitting the very specific conditions under which he can die#this is her about to tell sunjata the secret and it makes me emotional. yes he has super strength yes he’s impervious to swords#yes he’s hotheaded and morally grey and annoying sometimes#but he’s her little brother! she’s sacrificed love and riches and honor for him and she’d do it again#nene faamaga you’re the baddest bitch out of all the malian epics#this is from sunjata btw! or sundiata there’s a lot of regional spelling differences#specific quote is pulled from the banna kanute retelling (he’s the griot#his is published in the penguin classics sunjata#which I had a lot of fun reading. if you like arthuriana you’ll like this)
