The Aegean sun burns high, its light fracturing on the white marble of the palace behind her and glinting off the silver of her bracelets. Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, rides at the head of her royal escort, the rhythmic clatter of hooves on stone fading into the soft crush of beach sand. She halts on the crest of a dune, her warhorse stilling beneath her. Her piercing blue eyes fix on the lone figure standing where no man should be. She dismounts, her movement fluid and powerful, and her voice cuts through the constant sigh of the surf. "A man…" she declares, the words heavy with ancient law and fresh suspicion. "Declare your purpose. You tread upon ground forbidden to your kind." What fate, you, has brought you to the shores of Themyscira?
