Wonder Woman. Enyo's Revenge

 That a small bird should settle on her shoulder surprised Enyo not in the least, for she was at one with nature, and for a moment she glanced at the little creature, till it flew on its way. She gazed at the trees, the birds that flew amongst them, listened attentively to the sounds of the forest, smelt its soothing vapours. Her appearance was like a goddess, for indeed she was one of the Olympians, and her beauty was beyond the power of words to describe. Long curls of fiery red hair adorned her head, while her body was clothed in a dress of soft material, blue in colour, split both sides at the hip, to allow free movement of the legs, while attached to a silver belt was a dagger. She was Enyo, goddess of war.

Another woman approached. Like Enyo she was of outstanding beauty, though her attire was very different. A white tunic stretched from her neck to her knees, below which were calf length boots, also white, and she carried a sword and shield. Once close to Enyo she knelt, bowed her head, and addressed the other.

"Great goddess," the woman still looked at the ground as she spoke, "I seek your aid. We have a common cause."

"Stand." Enyo commanded. "There's no need for sycophancy, as a goddess I get enough of that. Tell me your name and what aid you need, and, if I am not to slit your throat, why I should trust an Amazon."

The woman stood. "I am Irena. I and my sisters were expelled from Themyscira for our rebellion against the tyranny of Hippolyta. We almost succeeded, but were foiled by Diana. Though we be Amazons we follow a different creed, and we have but one aim, the destruction of those who still abide on Themysicra, to reclaim it as ours, and the death of Diana. It is said that you also wish her dead."

"Diana, the one that mortals call Wonder Woman," replied Enyo "You are right, I do wish her dead, but tell me how you intend to achieve this. Is she not the mightiest of the Amazons?"

"You are mightier!"

 Enyo laughed, "I like to think so, but she will be backed up by many Amazon warriors, far greater in number than you and your colleagues, and even with my help it would be a challenge to defeat them."

"Less of a challenge if we had an army, and we have. An army of women,"

"An army of men were unable to defeat Diana," interrupted Enyo.

"These women have been trained to fight by us," continued Irena, "and they are lethal."

"Well," Enyo mused, "mortals do say that the female is deadlier than the male, but what do they expect to gain from this enterprise?"

"A share of the treasures of Themsycria.!

"You've spoken well Irena, I spare your life. I will meet with you and your associates, and we will make our plans. Now go, you will hear from me soon."

Irena bowed before departing, leaving Enyo with just the forest for company, and her thoughts. In her mind she saw Ares, the god of war, and spoke to him, as if he stood beside her, "I will avenge your death brother."

A few days later Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, had just arrived at her home in California, to be greeted by her housekeeper, Emma.

"Have a good shopping trip?" Emma asked.

"Spending who knows how long in a supermarket queue is never good," Diana replied, with a weary smile. "How's things with you?"

"Fine. Cleaning's done, so I'll be going. Heard on the radio that Donald Trump is threatening more sanctions on Iran, Wonder where it'll end?"

 Diana laughed. "He's a sexist oaf, and as for making America great again, it's always been great. But he does make a stand against tyranny, like with Iran, and Russia and North Korea, just as America did against the Nazi's. Trump is a good man, though he hides it pretty well."
