Wondergirl

Prologue

My name is Cassandra Sandsmark.

You may not know who I am but you probably know my aunt. I am Wonder Woman's niece and Zeus's granddaughter. What a super family tree, huh? My dad was being a British super-soldier named Lennox Sandsmark who is Wonder Woman's half-brother and himself a son of Zeus. My mom, Helena, is an archaeologist who works with my Aunt.

My dad died a long time ago in a war. My mom is consumed with work all the time that she has no time for me. My aunt, Wonder Woman, or as I know her, Aunt Diana, took me under her care, and sent me to the island of Themyscira, where she was born.

I was brought here at 7 years old, two years after my father passed away. Here, I was trained in the way of the Amazons. Because I am half-Themysciran, training came easy but because I'm half-man, as in a regular human, it came hard. I'm practically a demi-god. Through the years, I developed superhuman strength, speed, agility, and durability. So basically, I can hold my own in a fight.

Aunt Diana has wanted me to join her in the fight to protect mankind, like my father, but it's been so long since I've been a part of the outside world. It feels like all I know is Themyscira. My home is here but a part of me longs for the world out there. I want to learn of the world my Aunt protects and make myself worthy of protecting it.

All I have to do now, is convince her to let me go out on my own.

"Today's the day." I tell myself in the mirror.

I brush my blonde locks as I stare at my mirror. I pause thinking of what I'm about to do.

"Ugh." I groan, laying down my brush and getting up from in front of my dresser.

I take off my robes and put on a simple white and gold dress to begin to make my way around the island before I get caught for princess duties.

I run off to the stables so I can attend to the horses. I have yet to ride one yet but hopefully soon.

"Hey guys." I call out as the horses neigh in response.

"Yeah I know. Today should be the day I ask. But what if she says no? It's not like I can swim my way out.

The horses neigh and I laugh. I walk down a path rehearsing my speech in my head. When I hear a group of people further on the path.

I walk slower as I see my Aunt, Queen Diana, walking with some of the Congress discussing some politics that I never get into. I watch from a distance when my Aunt sees me out of the corner of her eye and winks.
