HEY GUYS. HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER. IT IS A SHORT ONE BUT A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT IN DIANA'S LIFE. ENJOY THE UPDATE.


CHAPTER 5: TASK OF GODS

MOUNT OLYMPUS: HAVEN FOR THE GREEK GODS

All the Olympians were involved in a heated debate on a very important matter i.e. DIANA. Each and every god who was patrons to both Themyscira and to Diana was involved in a heated battle of wills. They watched each and everything that happened on Themyscira and in the man's world. Everyone was relieved that Diana was in safe hands. They were convinced that she could lead a happy life without any disturbances.

But it also raised many questions. One of them was that she was actually created for improving the welfare of both Themyscira and the man's world. Earlier, when they created her, they planned to give her some extra powers when she reached the age of 18 so that she would be safe against the cruelties of the outside world and thus help her to achieve world peace.

But alas! The fates always had a way for twisting people' lives. Amazons were dead, which means it would further complicate Diana's own destiny. Now that was the main problem, how should we uncomplicate it so that Diana would reach her destiny? She was not born in her mother's womb. She was an excellent creation of life by the Olympians. So, there's got to be something that the Olympians could do without interfering into her life deeply since she was now in man's world. And here lays the biggest problem, what should they do to help her?

As they silently observed the loving couple who was holding their future champion, their minds were conflicted. Since Diana's fates were intertwined with a mortal, there was maximum probability that it would be fulfilled as she was now in man's world. But their main and foremost problem was that how could she defend herself against the cruelties of mankind?

As the angry debate between the Gods gradually turned into mutual silence, Zeus was clearly thinking about the problem. The pin drop silence in the whole court room was suddenly interrupted by Zeus himself.

"All of you are adjourned out of this court room except Athena and Artemis" Zeus ordered in a very commanding voice. All the gods were taken aback due to this order since it was very important and a sensitive matter to deal with. But nonetheless everyone silently made their way out of the court room.

After a few moments of silence,

"Athena, Artemis, I think I have a solution for this problem. It requires absolute effort from both of you" Zeus said in a contemplative manner. Both the sisters frowned on hearing this.

"Father, we will always give our absolute best in any task. Whatever solution you may have come up with, we will always accept and respect your wishes. Please reveal your thoughts about this." Artemis encouraged her father.

"I know Artemis. I know" he replied with a sigh.

"If my instincts are correct Father, I am thinking that you are going to involve us into Diana's life on the mortal plane" Athena finally expressed her guess in a tactical manner.

"HA…HA…HA…You instincts are always right Athena. You must never doubt that" Zeus replied with an amused chuckle.

"How are we going to involve into Diana's life? We are Gods. We can't involve ourselves into the perils of the mortal world. You know that it is against the rules that bound us all" Artemis replied in an alarmed voice clearly reminding the other two gods about the rules.

"Of course, I know that Artemis. The rule says – Ancient Gods of Olympian origins must not involve themselves into the affairs of mortals. Actually, Diana is the biological daughter of Hippolyta during the time when Hercules invaded Themyscira and enslaved the amazons by raping them. It was one of the most brutal eras in the history of mankind. Hippolyta didn't know that she was pregnant. So, she blindly went into the battle without this knowledge. After the war, she learned that she was pregnant and greatly grieved about the child that she would never raise as her daughter. Centuries passed but Hippolyta's pain remained the same. When she wished for a child, we can't help but to grant her wish. I made a little deal with Hades to give me the soul of Hippolyta's child. We changed her dead soul into a living one and infused it into the body of a baby girl especially created by Aphrodite herself. So, we can practically imply that Diana is kind of an artificial life force that made her into a living being. So, she is not actually a mortal but an artificial life force. So, we can involve into her life for a minimum extent just for her safety and look after her until she can defend herself" Zeus explained to Artemis clearly showing a glimpse of his intelligence in bending the rules.

"That is a brilliant understanding of the rule, Father. So, you expect us to keep an eye on her in case of any danger" Artemis said clearly impressed by his wit.

"Yes and more importantly I am hoping that you could teach her the ways of combat and weapons. Since you two are excellent in warfare, I am ordering both of you to be mentors for her until she reached her peaks in warfare, combat and weaponry. You must accomplish this mission in disguise which means you have to live the life a mortal without using your powers. Now, you may both take your leave. Prepare yourselves for this task. You are leaving tonight. " Zeus ordered both of them in a very commanding voice.

With nothing left to say, both Artemis and Athena bowed to their father and left the court room. After they both reached their own living chambers, they started to prepare themselves for the bumpy ride that was going to happen soon whether they like it or not. But both of them are glad that they have been entrusted with such an important mission and they are not going to disappoint their father.

Later that night, two mysterious figures appeared near the Trevor's house.
