Laura walked into the goddesses' quarters and looked around. Everyone was there just waiting for her. They all started talking to her at once as she walked towards the middle of the room. She stopped when she saw the Olympian goddesses standing there smiling at her.
"What's going on?" Laura asked looking at everyone.
Hera stepped forward and presented Laura with a large wooden box.
"We wanted to give you this before the fight." She said as Laura opened the box.
"Oh my goddess." Laura clutched her chest.
In side the box was a complete suit of armor. Chest and back plates, and arm and leg guards, all meant for her. The armor was silver with gold swirling designs on her arms, legs and torso.
"Wow I don't know what to say." She looked up at the goddesses
"Do you like it?" Hera asked.
"Of course, it's amazing. But how?" She looked back to the armor.
"We're goddesses, gold is like candy to us." Aphrodite said.
"We all gave up a little bit of our savings, got your measurements from Cornelia, and then we sent the order into the your blacksmith." Athena smiled.
"We had to say that it was for a high officer." Demeter said snickering a little.
"Thank you. This is truly unbelievable." Laura said still memorized by the armor.
"Well go try it on, we'll see you at the arena." Hera said the one by one the goddesses disappeared.
Laura closed the box and carried it out to her entrance. This wouldn't be easy. She gently let go of the box and let it fall into the water. Then she jumped in and floated back to the top. She looked around then took a deep breath and dove down. She spotted the box on the bottom and grabbed a hold of it. Then she heaved it under the rock wall and followed suit. She again grabbed a hold of it and swam for the top in desperate need for air.
Her head popped up in the lake that the waterfall let out into. She walked to the shore carrying the box with her.Laura walked back to her home and then opened the box again to check the armor. Luckily it was unharmed and she transferred it from its decorated box to her usual bag. She tied the rope of the bag and started to the arena.
Diana took her seat next to her mother in the VIP section. Shayera sat next to her and flashed her a friendly smile. Then Diana turned when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Cornelia.
"What are you doing up here?" she asked the young girl.
"More like how did you get here?" Shayera looked at Cornelia curiously.
"Same way I got into the palace. And I wanted to invite you to the VPP section." She smiled.
"The what?" Diana asked.
"The Very PowerfulPersons section. It's like a party down there I just wanted to know if you wanted to come." She looked to Diana and then Shayera.
"Kara's already down there, and they're the best seats in the arena." She smiled.
Shayera sighed.
"Ok let's go." She got up and looked to Diana.
"You coming?"
"Oh I just remembered, my sister wanted to talk to you before the fight." Cornelia said to Diana.
"What about?" Diana asked standing up.
"What am I, a mind reader? How should I know?" She took a hold of Shayera's hand and started walking to the stairs.
Diana followed until they reached the hallway that led to the changing rooms.
"She's down there to the left." Cornelia said then continued on her way with Shayera.
Diana smiled at the sight and then went down the hall. She found Laura sitting on a bench with a bag in her hands.
"Hi." Diana greeted.
"Hi, could you help me with my armor?" She asked as she started to untie the knot holding the bag closed.
"You don't know how to attach armor?" Diana asked on the verge of laughter.
"I'm used to string, not latches and hooks." She said as she took out one of the leg guards.
"Whoa, that's amazing. Where did you find it? "She looked to Laura.
The goddesses got it for me, a whole suit of armor made just for me." Laura sort of zoned out for a moment before she spoke again.
"Anyway could you help me?" She asked turning to look at Diana.
"Sure." Diana smiled and picked up the leg guard.
Diana new she had found the right section when she saw that it was full of young girls. She spotted a set of white wings and started going down the steps towards them.
"Hey Diana." Kara shouted as she spotted her.
Diana waved back and sat down next to her.
"What took you so long?" Shayera asked.
"Laura needed help with something." She smiled as she began to look around.
She spottedCornelia sitting between a girl with long blond hair pulled up into a ponytail and a girl with brown hair pulled up into a bun.
"Hi Princess." Cornelia waved.
Diana waved back and looked at the three of them strangely. They started to giggle and Diana became puzzled.
"I believe you already know Athena and Artemis." Laura said pointing to the girls that surrounded her.
They both waved and Diana looked shocked.
"What are you doing here?" Diana asked.
"We came to see how well we've trained her." Athena said.
"Yeah this whole section is just for us." Artemis said leaning back a bit.
Diana was about to ask what she meant byus when the crowd erupted in cheers. She turned around and saw that Laura and her opponent had entered the arena.
"Whoa it that my sister?" Diana heard Cornelia exclaim, "You guys did a great job on the armor."
"She does look amazing, almost like a…" Shayera paused
"A goddess." Answered a girl (Hera) sitting next to Kara.
"Yeah." Shayera looked at the girl strangely
"That was the point." Hera said then sat back in her seat.
Diana just smirked and looked at the to fighters. Laura against General Phillipus, the one who had taught her how to fight and use her powers. This would be a very good fight indeed.
Laura entered the arena and looked at the crowd. She saw her sister and the goddesses in the forms of young girls. Then she saw Kara, Shayera, and Diana sitting in the first row. She smiled and walked to the center, and then the queen began her speech.
"Everyone in this tournament has fought long and hard, and I congratulate these two for making it this far. So now for the moment we've all be waiting for. Shake hands then let the battle commence." Hippolyta said then sat back down in her throne.
Laura looked to General Phillipus and stuck her hand out. The General took her hand and smiled.
"Good luck kid." She said.
"I'm not a kid." Laura said as they broke hands and got into their fighting stances.
General Phillipus pulled out her sword and slid her shield on to her arm. Laura put her spear in her right hand and rest her left hand on the pouch of rocks. Phillipus charged and Laura moved both hands to the spear.It took the blow and Laura slid back a little. Laura pushed against the spear throwing the General back a foot or two. Now it was Laura's turn, she ran at Phillipus and brought the spear down on her right shoulder. But she wasn't a general for nothing, she caught the attack and wrenched the spear from Laura's grasp and tossed it to the side.
Laura quickly unlatched the bag of rocks from her armor and started to swing them around. Gaining momentum she charged at Phillipus and brought her right hand with the rocks only inches behind her down at the generals head. You could imagine her shock when she saw the bag of rocks hadhit the shield then burst. Laura looked around desperately, she had to find her spear. But General Phillipus had uncovered herself by now and was beginning her next attack. She stood up and started swinging away at Laura.
The young girl did her best to defend herself, allowing the blade to hit her arm guards instead of her chest. But this plan was slowly dieing. Laura had to find her spear and fight back, and then she a thought came to her. It didn't have to necessarily be in that order. She began to smile and her eyes to sparkle. General Phillipus began to get nervous, she had spoken to the other competitors about the young Amazon and they all said that right before she started to beat them a spark had came to her eyes. Laura then just started to throw punches, it didn't matter where they landed as long as they landed on the General it was good.
The General had to get the young girl away from her, some how get the spark out of her eyes. She held her shield up and brought her sword down hard to the young girls leg. Laura screamed as she leg gave out under her. She was on the ground and her leg felt like a thousand horses had run over it. The she felt something behind her. It felt like a stick but it was much too smooth, she hopedit was her spear as she spotted General Phillipus running towards her. General Phillipus saw that Laura had found her weapon and knew she had to do something. So she charged at her with her sword held high ready to pin her to the ground.
Now it was the General's turn to be shocked as Laura clapped her hands together and caught the sword. The young girl sighed in relief and then used her right leg, the one that didn't hurt, to flip the General over her. Laura heard a thud and assuming it was the General began to finger her spear. When she had both hands on her spear she brought both her legs up and did a back flip, landing on onefoot and sticking out her arms for balance. She turned and limped back as the General stood. She had landed roughly on her back and got the wind knocked out of her. She turned and the two began to circle each other.
Then they charged each other, Laura going slower because she was limping. Then they made contact, Laura's spear was the only thing stopping General Phillipus's sword from going into her chest. Laura's hands and arms hurt and her leg had actually gone numb. Both her and the General had numerous dents and scratches in their armor. And finally all the wear and tear put on Laura's spear took its toll. The spear snapped in half and the sword hit Laura square in the chest. She fell back with the broken spear still in her hands. She could hear the crowd gasp when she didn't immediately get up, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the goddesses, Shayera, Kara, Diana, and her sister.
They had all stood up trying to see if she was ok. Slowly she sat up and discovered that the armor was squeezing her so tightly she couldn't breathe. She took in as much air as she could and stood up. She could hold her breath for a long time under water, so why not here. She thought as she ran full speed at General Phillipus. She ignored all the pain she was feeling and jumped into the air. She kicked away the general's sword and shield and then landed on her good foot. Then she started to hit the general with the halves of her spear. Aiming roughly around the area she knew the latches would be.
Phillipus once again saw the spark in her eye, but now it was multiplied a thousand fold perhaps. As the young girl hit her she subconsciously started backing up. Before long she found herself backed up into a wall. Laura kept hitting away but then all of a sudden stopped. She had the General pinned up against the wall, the halves of her spear we crossed across the General's neck. Trapping her. Slowly Laura started to raise the General until she was a foot in the air. Phillipus put her hands on to the broken spear and tried to loosen the pieces but it was to no avail. Then Hippolyta stood from her seat and looked down at the two.
"That is enough, the young warrior is the winner." She shouted.
Laura dropped General Phillipus and then offered her a hand.
"I told you I wasn't a kid. "She said panting.
Phillipus took her hand and stood up.
"I guess I didn't need to wish you luck then." She said and took a look at the young girl.
"No hard feelings then?" Laura asked as she stuck her hand out again.
"None at all." Phillipus said taking her hand, and then the crowd erupted in cheers.
The General and Laura parted and started to the exits that would lead them to their changing rooms. Laura had just entered the shadow of the tunnel when she collapsed. She heard people calling out her name and many footsteps, she could barely make out the shapes of people and faces in the shadows. She reached out to touch one of the faces but then unconsciousness claimed her.
Laura opened her eyes to face Iaso. She was back at the goddess's hid away laying on one of the couches. (Yes they had couches, just very old fashioned ones) Her armor had been taken off and now lay in a pile in the corner. Laura tried to sit up but Diana pushed her down.
"Lay back, you're hurt pretty bad." Diana said.
Then Laura noticed that Kara, Shayera, and Cornelia were in the room too.
"And I will be gad to heal you if you could stay still." Iaso said.
"So what's the damage?" Laura asked.
"Your left leg is shattered, you fractured a rib, the bones in your forearms are bruised, your fingers are cracked and broken and from the lack of oxygen to your brain you passed out." Iaso said arms crossed over her chest.
"What does that mean." Laura looked at Iaso questioningly
"Sorry, I tried medical school for a while, it must not have worn off yet. And it means that you are lucky to be alive." Iaso said uncrossing her arms and looking down at Laura with worried eyes.
"But I feel fine." Laura sat up.
"Itook away the pain for the moment, now lay back down and I'll heal you." Iaso said relaxing a bit.
"Thank you." Laura saidlaying back down on the couch.
