800 years pass but for Diana, it feels like 30. Time works differently in Themyscira than it does in the outside world. To pass the time, Diana trains with Artemis and other Amazons and proves to be the strongest on the island. With the power of the goddesses running through her veins, she becomes a sight of wonder. Her beauty is memorisable as is her personality, combat skills and charisma. She and Mala meet on the fields, both on kangaroos

Mala: "I remember when we first met the kangaroos Diana. Being the childhood friend of a princess is one thing, racing her across the fields is another

Diana smiles "You've never beaten me Mala, I don't know why you keep challenging me. My girl Jumpa has never let me down"

They then race with Diana winning as per usual. They dismount and stroke on another's kangaroo. Mala and Diana then lean onto one another and laugh, another blonde woman looks from the distance. Mala spots her and the blonde woman walks to them. Diana then spots her and smiles. Mala leaves the pair alone, Diana is met with a kiss

Diana "Morning Kasia my beloved:

Kasia wraps her arm around Diana and they walk. Kasia stays silent and Diana prompts her to talk. Kasia grunts but they sit on the edge of a cliff. They lean their heads towards each other

Diana "Kasia, I know our relationship is in a bit of a rough patch but I want to work this out"

Kasia nods, "I do too Diana, I question myself everyday. The princess of Themyscira has chosen me. You and Mala seemed the closest but your relationship didn't work. When we started seeing each other, I overheard our sisters question whether you're with Meghara or Evrayle but it quickly become the common news that you settled with me. Yet, we both question the longevity of our love. At the same time, we accept we are in love so why does the shadow of doubt remain?"

Diana leans closer to Kasia "It's true. I've tried to find my love of my life on this island. Me and Mala tried it out but we agreed to be friends. I tried getting close to other Amazons but again, the spark of love wasn't there. But I feel happiest when I'm with you"

Kasia has a face of disagreement "Do you really?"

Diana concedes "Ok Kasia, I admit, I feel we have a long way to go but I want this to last. It is not your fault, rather it is mine. Dating a princess and the daughter of an overprotective mother is not easy. But I do love you Kasia, even though I feel there is something else to it. I cannot find the right words but I feel my destiny is about to shape into something I cannot expect or prepare for. I want you to be in it though"

Kasia then closes the conversation "See, this is the honesty I love from you. I also want to work this out, so let us work on this together"

At that point, outside the invisible walls of Themyscira, aerial combat is occurring. Fighter planes are currently fighting flying demons. One of the pilots is leading the charge 

Pilot: "Only 3 of us remain in this battle, we need to form a triad. Stay in position and blast these demons"

The pilots form in a triangular position and aim fire at the demons. They get some but some evade. One of the demons sacrifices itself to explode a plane leaving two remaining. Another demon attacks the wings of another plane, making it lose control. The plane then flies into another one, damaging its engine. The pilot who got collided by the other plane is struggling to keep control and drifts off course. The pilot looks down at her window and travels through the invisible walls. An island suddenly appears and she tries to land it on the beach. The plane's engine gives way and she crashes into the ocean

Diana and Kasia look at this from afar. Diana then jumps from the cliff edge down into the water, and swims towards the plane. She then drags the whole plane to the beach and breaks the glass. She pulls the pilot out and takes off her helmet. A young woman with ginger hair in a messy bun is in Diana's arms. Diana awakes the woman who opens her eyes

Diana: Open your eyes Amazon, it's okay, I got you"

The pilot then regains consciousness and sees Diana in the sunlight

Pilot: "Are you an angel? Where am I"

Diana is puzzled "Sister, it's me Diana, Princess of Themyscira. What are you wearing? What was that device you flew".... "wait, you're no Amazon. You're from the outside world!"

At that point Hippolyta, Artemis and other Amazons surround the pilot. Diana looks up at Hippolyta

Diana: "Mother, she's from the outside world"

Hippolyta nods in agreement but at that point the same demons hover over the beach and sweep down. The Amazons, who are mostly unarmed, used their fists to defend themselves whilst others call for backup. Diana clears most of the demons. Mala helps but she sustains an injury. Another demon aims for Hippolyta at high speed, Diana calls out her mother's name. But before Hippolyta can turn around, the demon is shot dead by the pilot. The pilot then faints and Diana catches her, resting her head on her lap. 

Hippolyta: "Take her into the medical bay. Mala get your wound attended to"

Diana then carries the pilot to the medical bay whilst an Amazon wipes Mala's blood from her arm. Kasia watches from a distance
