2(Rewritten)
(13 years and 11 months later)
It had been almost 14 years.
During this time, Antiope and Derion had come to grudgingly respect each others a little bit. Both of them had divided their time in half in order to perform their duties as well as take care of Alex as well. And they both had been getting stronger.
Derion had gained greater mastery over chaos magic. Levitating and controlling the objects around her. She had begun using floating swords.
Antiope had gotten the power to fly and manipulate energy. She could pass it through her own weapons as well. Her weapon and shield would sometimes glow with a golden light during her spars.
Hippolyta had seen her sisters change. At first, she had been worried that they would not treat the child right. Afterall, he had been the first male child born within the amazon. But she was also glad that the trials of her sister were soon going to be over as well.
The boy would be made to leave within a month at the latest. And so she had told her sisters.
"Sisters, the boy will leave after a month. I am sorry for putting you through this trial." She had mentioned during a meeting. She knew that all of her sisters had hated men and it could not have been easy to raise the child by themselves. It also did not help matters that the boy was the son of Heracules as well, one of their greatest tormentors.
Instead all of the advisors and had looked at her with a hardened face.
"My lady, the child is innocent. We cannot let such a precious child be tainted by the world of men." Nubia the ebony goddess had slammed her hand down on the table. The table had cracked as a little bit of electricity and ozone was created. Nubia ebony skin and standing at 6 feet 5 inches had her eyes turned white as electricity was passing through them.
"I agree, my lady. He is the most sweetest boy I have ever met. I would prefer not to have him corrupted." Artemis was glaring at Nubia and the others. Her eyes had turned a little green and her her red hair had flown about. She who was the largest amazon with a height of 7 feet looked as if she would grow even larger.
Hippolyta had looked at all of her advisors and hardened her heart. A decision had been made once and it would be enforced. "No, he would be exiled when he turns 14."
"I still believe that you are making a mistake. He still carries your blood." Derion had said while she had looked at her sisters.
"I agree. If you don't wish to take the burden I can adopt him. He is a kind boy that smiles at the smallest compliment. Just imagine coming home everyday to a home cooked meal that Alex will spoon feed you and then wash your back." Antiope's face had turned a little red as she imagined the scene. The others blushed as they imagined the scene.
"My decision is final." Hippolyta brought her fellow sisters out of their fantasy with her strict voice. "This meeting is dismissed." A part of her hated the fact that Antiope had wanted to take her own child away from her. But did she even have the right to call him her son anymore? She was not sure. She had not even named him anything. And she was not sure if she would even be able to recognize him anymore.
The issue of succession had been weighing down upon her mind. She was afraid that she would hate her son if she saw him. She had long ago lost the feeling of love, she was someone driven by cold hard logic. She could emulate love but she could not ever feel it anymore. It was a necessary sacrifice to bring her entire race back to life. And if she was given a choice, she would make it again and again.
Diana had gone to men's world due to a large war that was happening there. It was during her absence that her child was born. Otherwise, she would not have been able to hide his birth. Diana her daughter would surely have left with the child to the man's world and raised him there away from the amazonians.
While the queen was reminiscing. All the advisers and generals had scattered in order to implement their own plans. If worse comes to worse, they could reveal how they draw their power from him making him a cornerstone of their Island's defense. That would be the last resort as they did want to share him. Each of them had developed some possessive tendencies.
----------------------------------------------
Alex has had a very strange life as far as he was concerned.
He had been reborn, and only some of his memories were intact. He could glimpse them partially. He knew what the amazons were, how they worked and the type of situation he was in. He also remembered how to cook. Maybe, he was a cook in a past life. Who knows.
He had lost alot of his own common sense as well.
It was not as if he was tortured or any thing like that. He confined to a section of the palace as far as he could tell. He went outside but he could only do it under the strict supervision of someone.
*Tap*Tap* Tap*
Someone was knocking on the door. He looked outside the window and realized that it was almost dinner time.
Alex had stretched his entire body and opened the door.
He saw Derion, who he had happily waved at.
"Come here Alex, It's time to eat now." She had called Alex placing the food on the table.
This was something that had always made him blush.
"I think that I am old enough, You don't need to feed me." He had looked down and kicked his feet as he had looked at her.
"Nonsense, if you feel that is embarrassing then you can feed me as well." She held pointed her hand at him.
Alex had felt his body freeze as he had found himself being levitated towards her. As he floated infront of her, she placed him on her lap.
Alex who was 14 year old was small compared to the amazon sitting in front of him. She smiled at him, her red armor and red helmet both combined to make an alluring sight.
She could have used magic to feed Alex instead she had opted to use her own hands. Taking pieces of meat and bread. Dipping them in broth and feeding Alex that sat in her lap.
"It's your turn now." She had said with an expectant look. Alex sighed and broke a piece of bread and fed her as well.
And so this continued on for some time. Soon, they were done and she had floated the utensils to her side with a red glow. She picked him up one final time and kissed him on the head as she had looked at her cute little rabbit. It was funny because he had a a very big package underneath. Something not proportional to his body size at all. She could feel it as he was wearing a toga. A line of missions complete, she was going to exchange the points for power.
-----------------------------------------------
(After some time)
Antiope had shown up. She had just trained a few of her sisters. She was feeling a little dirty. As per her ritual, she had entered the room designated to Alex and found him sitting there.
She had picked him up by the neck.
"Why so sad. Alex." She had noticed his look.
"Mom, it it time to go outside.." Antiope had blushed when she had called him mom, maybe she would have him scream the same when he was under her.
"Let's go now, we need to start your training as well, you little squirt." She had replied with a laugh.
And so she taken him out. There was a deserted training ground. The entire side palace had been made with the intent to house guests. And it had come with its own facilities as well.
And so she had seen him start to punch and kick. Nothing wrong with doing some un armed combat. Soon, she had begun to correct his form and teach him the different holding moves and the like. After some time, she had seen that he had gotten very sweaty as well.
"Come on. It's time to clean you up." She had said as they both began to move towards the bath house.
When the Nazis had invaded their Island. She had managed to defeat them and avoid death only due to the powers she had now. Without the enhanced powers that she and a few of her sisters had access to, there would have been a few casualities. Fortunately, nothing like that had happened.
No Amazonian had died that day and it was due to the power some of them had gotten from Alex. Alex would become instrumental for their survival and she would guard him with her life if it is necessary..
