Chapter 1: The Situation

A long time ago there was a kingdom called Themiscyria. It was land-locked except on the west side where the sea was. Themiscyria had a huge wall around the land and guards on every tower, each tower were five yards apart. They were warriors but yet peaceful people and everyone was able to work and provided with the opportunity of work, men and women. Women who had children stayed at home to take care of the home.

The queen now was Hippolyta. She had blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin. She had two daughters, one named Diana, who was eighteen, and the other Donna, she was fifteen. She had a husband but he had died in a sickness that had swept through the kingdom. The other three kingdoms had a steady partnership with Themiscyria especially Keystone. Themiscyria was mostly independent and ahead of its time in terms of women's rights and was modern in that way. The kingdom maintained itself well in every way until one day.

One day when Queen Hippolyta was visiting the mines she learned that the gold had run out. With the gold gone their economy was going to go down. She needed to find a way to get the money back into the kingdom so that she could provide for her people. After some thinking, she realized that there was only one way to do it without going through the loss and chaos of war. She also knew that Diana was not going to like this idea too much. She went into her daughter's bedroom with a sigh. This was going to be difficult.

"I know you're not thrilled at this, but it's the only way to provide for our people," Hippolyta said.

"I know, but WHY?" Diana asked. "Why marry? Isn't there another way?"

"Not one that's fast enough," Hippolyta responded. "I'm sorry, Diana." Diana sighed.

"I will do this, but only for the purposes of duty and our people," Diana stated.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Hippolyta responded.

Diana hated the idea of having to marry, especially if it was with a stranger. But she was a princess so she would do what a princess was supposed to do. She would sacrifice her happiness for the sake of the people.

Hippolyta sent letters addressed to the castles of their two neighboring kingdoms, Gotham and Keystone. She knew the king of Metropolis was a horrid and despicable man. So there was no need to send him a letter. The letter was an invitation to their castle where they would meet Princess Diana and if they saw her fit to be their wife. Hippolyta hated the idea of someone marrying her daughter since she was so young and had barely become an adult. But she also knew it would be for the sake of the kingdom that she would do this, no more, no less.

Little did either of them know that things were about to change. And that things would change for Diana and for all three of the kingdoms.
