Chapter 177: FAREWELL
3rd Person POV -
Hypolytia was inside her room preparing herself for the departure of her daughter. Last night she told everyone of her decision. When she was thinking of something the door was knocked and opened.
Antiope and Artemis came inside. Seeing her sister distracted Antiope asked,'' Still coming in terms with the fact that your daughter is going to leave the home.''
Hypolytia said,'' I just find it hard to let her go.''
Artemis said, '' What you, even I find it hard to believe that she is leaving.''
Antiope said,'' Don't be so disheartened. We all knew that one day she has to leave. So why so much reluctance. ''
Hypolytia said,'' It's less about reluctance and more about fear. She is naive and trust very easily. What if she was taken advantage of.''
Antiope said, '' She is not as naive as she used to be. Now she has learned a lot of things. Don't you remember Perseus told her a lot of things about the human world. She understand that not everyone have good intentions.''
Artemis looked at Antiope. Seeing her so at ease she couldn't help but ask,''Are you not worried about her. She is leaving for such a big quest. She is going to fight against the God of War himself. What if she lost? What if something happens to her?''
Before she can reply Hypolytia said,'' Nothing will happen to her.''
Artemis frowned and asked,'' How can you be so sure?''
Hypolytia smiled and said,'' Perseus. He will never let anything happen to her.''
Artemis said,'' You know that the Perseus is bound by the old rules. He can not participate in this battle.''
:
Antiope said,'' First of all I believe Perseus has prepared enough help for Diana. And if even that help will be insufficient in dealing with Ares then Do you think any old rules can stop Perseus from protecting the peoples he holds dear. ''
Hypolytia said,'' She is right. I was almost never worried about her safety. It's just I do not want her to go. But I don't think there is any way to stop her if I don't want humanity to end themselves by fighting against each other.''
They all nodded there head and left the room towards the place where Diana is. But they don't have to go very far. They found Diana coming towards there room.
Seeing her Hypolytia said,'' How was your night? Did you sleep well?''
Diana nodded her head and said,'' Yes mother I am quite happy. I feel fine. I was just coming to you to ask what should be done.''
Hypolytia replied, '' We were also comming to you to talk about these things.''
Then she motioned for Diana to follow her. While walking she holds the hands of Diana and said,'' Now that you have decided to go and fight Ares you will need proper Armor and weapons. ''
Diana knows where they are going. She have seen that room since she was child. She was always fascinated by those things. And it did not take them long to reach to there destination.
Hypolytia spoke while looking at the Armor and weapons,'' Gods have always believed that Ares will return and then it will be our responsibility to stop him and to help us in our quest they left us with these powerful artifacts. This Armor, Wrist band and the Sword. The God Killer Sword.
Now that you have taken the mantle to stop him then they should belong to you. I hope that these things will help you in your quest, my daughter. ''
Diana looked at the Artifacts. She knew that they are made for the warriors. She soon changed into the Armor and the Wrist band. She took the sword in her hand and asked them,'' How do I look?''
They look like a perfect greek warrior in the Armor. Her Armor covered her from her beast to her mid thigh. The armor was Gold and Red. And looked quite sharp.
But before they can answer something Astonishing happens. A very bright light covered Diana. And before they can do anything it was gone. But Her Armor has changed.
Previously the Armor that has covered her from her breast and had bare shoulder now ot starts from her shoulder. And instead of Skirt now it has a long red and blue skin tight pants.
Hypolytia, Artemis and Antiope all chuckled after seeing this. They all know who is behind this. But Diana does not know but she have a very big doubt on certain someone with two different colour eyes.
Diana looked at her Aunts and mother. Hypolytia said, '' Both of the Armors looked very beautiful. But in my opinion the real beauty is you.''
Antiope said,'' I can not agree more. You are the most beautiful Amazon after all. ''
Artemis said, '' So wear this Armor and wield this sword with pride. I truly believe you will succeed.''
After that Diana and the others left the hall and moved towards the shore. Hypolytia has already ordered one of the Amazons to call everyone especially the man from the outside world.
When they got there everyone else was waiting there for them. When steve saw Diana in her new Armor he finds herself as insignificant person. Like a human in front of
A Goddess.
Diana smiled at everyone. She went to steve and asked,'' Have you taken everything. Especially your diary. ''
Steve nodded her head and then brought out the dairy to show her. After being reassured Diana went towards her mother and Aunts to bid her farewell. After hugging and taking there well wishes she bid all the Amazons farewell.
Then she stood in front of them all. She said,'' Do not worry. I will be back very soon. I will bring the spoils of war.''
All the Amazons cheered for her. Steve went to the Queen Hypolytia and said,'' Don't worry I will not tell anyone about this place. ''
Hypolytia said,'' Thank you. But even if you want you can not tell anyone about this place. The moment you will leave the boundary you will forgot the location of this place. ''
After some small talk Diana and Steve took the little boat that was prepared and left.
