Queen Sycorax

Hearing the voice of Prospero wakes me from my sleep. It has come to my attention that he is talking foolishly about me to my son Caliban. I know my boy won’t let Prospero’s devilish thoughts about me into his head. The only reason I have disappeared is from the hatred of Prospero. I could not hold myself up when he bashed on my life. I have had many years to recover and build a new-found strength to see him face to face. I am still alive, and in human form. Many people believe I am only a spirit. I only show myself for reasons like what is happening to Caliban. 

If I left Prospero alone with Caliban, he would twist my son into giving up his abilities to love, admire, and excel. Gathering my courage, I am ready to fly down to Prospero, with a monstrous storm around me. I hear Caliban screaming to Prospero that I am still alive and well, yet that arrogant fool does not believe. I can feel my anger racing through my blood. To show Prospero that there is happiness in life, free Ariel, and send Miranda off on a ship is a duty I must call for. 

Tiredness, anxiousness, and hunger for torture is what I am made of at this time. As Prospero continues to mesmerize my son, I shall begin landfall. *Thunder erupts throughout the air; lightning penetrates the ocean*. I don’t want to scare Prospero...well I do, so presenting my wrath through a tornado will do the trick. Prospero’s face begins to squint. Caliban knows it is me who is coming and braces for my descent. I drop on to the ground; I can already feel Prospero’s nervous energy. “Well if it isn't the Prospero who fills my sons mind with tommyrot” I say. I make sure that he NEVER comes close to my son, or I, again. Prospero’s reign is now over, and I shall protect for what’s to come. Miranda hears the storm and comes by soon after my humiliation of Prospero. I tell her to take a ship (from which I spawn) and veer off into another land, with a pure heart ready for love. Ariel also poses to the scene; I order Prospero at once to let him free. With his command at my wish Ariel is set free. “I will be of servitude whenever you need me mistress” he says. 

I get to hug my boy for the first time in years. I explain to him that this is our land now, and Prospero shall learn from his mistakes, and hope not to make one again. For once...I feel myself as one who is loved, cherished, and seen other than a rag. For once...I am a Queen.
