Dixie
"Well, i guess it's safe to say that love can hurt. I mean it's like a bullet to the brain i guess that's what humans say. I assume so but i'm not human i am a god. I was brought to life by zeus. Not only i am a god but i am also a princess of themyscira and this is my story."
When i was born my mother told me that i am destined for greatness. That i was this miracle that was brought to life by the gods. She told me that i would carry on her legacy and forged a path that was so long ago forgotten. I always admired my mother she was beautiful, heroic, strong, and the greatest warrior on our island; well next to me of course. My mother used to be Wonder Woman-(I know it's pretty awesome!) but retired once she left man's world due to the lost of her first lover steve trevor.
Their love story is both magical and heartbreaking. My mom is very overprotective of me because she doesn't want anything to happen to me-( "Mothers am i right always being so motherly). I always wanted to experience love, but i do not want to run away when things go downhill. In man's world do women get another man when their current one is deceased? I think that's how it goes. Anyway, so one day i was sitting in my room looking at the view of our island. All of a sudden i heard a knock at my door.
I walked across my room to see who it is. I opened the door and saw an amazonian girl with red hair, blue eyes, and fair skin . It was my best friend Tara dressed in her breast plate and under it was a white cloak. I smiled as i greeted my friend tara and gave her a big hug.
"What is it?, I asked while leaving her embrace. Tara's smile was gone and a serious look was in place where her silme used to be.
"Your mother told me to come and get you it's urgent." Tara said with her serious face still intact. I left my room with Tara and headed outside one the way to the throne room. As i walked i have never seen the sun shine so brightly here- ("Then again it's always sunny here."). The skies are crystal clear, it never rains here or any seasonal changes on this island because it is shielded off from the outside world. My mother told me about the snow and told me that it was the most magical thing she has ever seen.
Letting the curiosity get the best of me because i am dying to know what is going on. "So, why does my mother want to see me?" i asked because i couldn't take this silence. Tara looked at me and did not smile. The serious face was making me nervous because Tara never makes a serious face she was always happy , perky, crazy girl. We finally arrive at the throne room everyone was silent as i stood before the queen of the amazons and kneeled with my right arm across my chest.
"Honey you don't have to kneel or bow to me in my presence you're my daughter." The queen said with grace. (I already know that i just don't want to be treated differently because i'm your daughter".)- I stood slowly up from the floor and smiled at my mother. I looked around the room the atmosphere never changed since i walked in. I looked to my mother with concern.
"What is troubling you dear mother? Why was i summoned from my room? Is Ares back again?" I asked in one breath. My mother looked at me with a surprising look on her face.
"Calm yourself my child my word you haven't acted like this since you were 4 years old."
Mom was right i did used to blabber a whole lot when i was a kid. She could never stop me from talking she would let me run my mouth with questions all day. I miss those days when i was a kid we used to play with each other, have story time about life in man's world, and sing me to sleep. Nowadays, i have to train to be better than my mother and take up here mantle as Wonder Woman-( "No pressure here.") I was grabbed out of my thoughts when my mother began to speak.
"Do you remember what i told you that the world would need Wonder Woman." I had to think back for a second and eventually caught up. "Yes i remember you told me that the world needs saving." My mother looked at me with a very proud look because she was happy i remembered. I walked up closer to my mother asking her; "Does the world need our guidance once again mother?" The queen nodded her head to my question and put her arms around my shoulders.
"My dear child it hurts me to send you to the outside world but i have no choice." the queen said with her voice breaking. I hugged my mother for comfort so she wouldn't have to feel the pain of letting me go. "Mom-(I breathed) it's okay i will accept and embrace what ever obstacles or foes i have to face." Once we released from each others embrace she simply walked me to the weapons room. Once we were inside she led me into the middle of the room and showed me her costume. I was totally geeking out of the fact i get to where my mother's suit. As my mother circled around me i straightened up my posture and gave her my undivided attention.
"As you know this armor was worn by me as i went to the human world." the queen said as she was walking around the suit. I looked at the suit in awe remembering when i was a little girl daydreaming wearing my mother's coat of arms. Now that i am here today being offered to carry on her legacy is a really big responsibility. Will i be worthy enough to become the warrior my mother wants me to be. I was dragged out of my thoughts when my mother called my name with concern.
"Dixie what troubles you my child? Mother asked in concern. I looked down at the floor as i answered her question feeling doubt within the pit of my stomach.
"I feel as though i'm not worthy mother. To carry on your legacy that's like asking me to wear the crown of the queen." My mother walked up to me and put her hand under my chin so my face was looking at hers.
"My dear child you believe you are not worthy of my legacy. Dixie i did not ask this of you to be something you were destined to do. I ask this of you because in your heart burns a spark that is starting to grow into something far more greater that you can possibly imagine." I looked at her curious about the spark inside of me that she speaks of.
"What am i starting to grow into mother?" My mother smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
" You are becoming a hero." I smiled at her answer and told my mother that i will carry on her legacy. She pulled me into a big hug and said that she was proud of me but in the back of my mind was that i would have to be the hero that my mom was. Out of nowhere she pulled my mother said; "You don't have to be like me you know just be yourself."
I pulled out of mom's embrace with a confused look on my face. "How did you know i was thinking that? Can you really read my mind? My mother shook her head and laughed at me.
" No my child it's just my superpower of being a mother." I laughed at her response. My mother motioned me to the suit and begged me to try it on. I caved and decided to put on the suit
"Wow! This feels amazing! I can't believe i have this on!"-(I said excitedly) I was so amazed how the suit looked good one me all my doubts and worry of not being worthy disappeared and my mom saw it too.
"Do you accept your challenge now?" Mom said as she smiled at me with pride. I turned around and nod my head. We head towards the weapons vault to pick up my mother's shield, sword, and the lasso of truth-( "My personal favorite weapon because it makes tell people the truth.")
"So, are you going to tell me what my mission is here? If it doesn't involve the God of War then who?"
"It's the work of greater evil my child. It involves someone called the Dark One."
"The Dark One mother who is he?" I asked.
"Legend has it that he used to be a man that is until he messed with the forces of evil. "
"What did he do mother?"
"He sold his soul to the greater evil so ancient that walked the earth."
"What is it mother?"
" He is known by many names; black sky, dark one, but the latin name for him is unum tenebris."
" Let me guess mother that mean dark one right." My mother smiled at my answer with pride.
"So you have been paying attention in class."
"Well you know what they always say knowledge is key. So why is this guy the dark one i know he sold his soul but why?"
"He craved power and once he received it the power was beyond his control. Legend has it that there is a warrior that can shift the balance between life and death."
"Where is this warrior mother?"
"Well the original is dead but she left behind a niece named Felicity. She is the last light that can defeat her father."
" So her father is the dark one and the original warrior was her aunt."
"Yes my daughter that is correct.'
" So my mission is to protect this warrior right?"
"Well that and train her a little teach her our battle careful my child man's world is dangerous."
"Don't worry mother i'll be fine." With that i hugged my mother and ready to leave. I was at the bay side of the island and got inside the boat-(I guess i'm taking the long way to the human word".) I cast off the boat and rowed out towards the sea. As i looked up towards the night sky i knew that my journey is just beginning.
