“This? This is the reason you deserted your training?”
Athena stared down at the severed haunch of the giant warhound, which rested at the foot of her throne. Armored guards flanked the throne, while additional Amazons stood watch over Holly and Harley as they faced Athena’s judgment. Holly couldn’t help noticing how much grander and more opulent the beautiful temple was compared to the miserable barracks she and the other newbies had been stowed in. Marble friezes, depicting
... the founding of Themyscira, ran along the tops of the walls. Towering caryatids, sculpted in the likenesses of great Amazon heroines of the past, supported the high ceiling. An exquisite Persian carpet surrounded the throne. Incense perfumed the air.
Rank has its privileges, Holly thought, and something here is really rank.
She did her best to conceal her resentment as she defended herself before the scowling goddess and her armed attendants. “If we’d deserted, we wouldn’t have come back.”
