Hippolyta is still about Damian while looking at the ragged cloth and chains, she cried for months knowing that mistake and finally decided to meet him for an apology, she asked Antiope for this which Antiope yelled she is out of her mind to visit the outside world leaving Amazon's off guard.
Antiope suggested she'll go to the man's world and send a message called letter to Diana as she learned this from her in Diana's past visit and also her address, I nodded and asked Antiope again," will he forgive me Antiope? will he hate and don't accept me as her mother?", I asked while tears welled in my eyes unconsciously.
this is a mistake I made for years, not understanding he is just a child and he doesn't have anything to do with the deed done by the man, just because he looked like him I tortured him while chaining him in a dark place and enjoyed a sadistic fun through something that no mother will ever do.
I hugged the cloth while imagining his face, the first I saw him when he is only 6 years old in that same dark place, all he gave me is genuine smile and that caused everything, a child giving his mother a heartful smile and love while that same mother which gave him hellish experience for years while he begged me stop.
even Antiope tortured him like me but compared to be she is much less except the food, she didn't gave him food for days and even tortured him with me in that state, that smile that is the last time he smiled at me, all those years all I can remember is his cries and begs for food and killing him, not even once from then on have I seen his smile, except when Diana took him out this island, I saw a relived smile on his face.
forgive me Damian, I couldn't get that last time but I'll do anything to earn that this time, please give your mother a chance. Antiope who saw the pale Hippolyta that has dark circles around her eyes and her red bloodshot eyes due to crying didn't know what to say, she also knows what they've done isn't something to be forgiven that easily, they made an innocent child lose his hope to live, and even declined the chance he gave them to earn his forgiveness, and they failed, all he asked is a motherly gaze even for a moment or that's what Diana said, but we failed to give him that or Hippolyta failed.
Antiope looked at her and said to Console her," I don't know but maybe Diana can convince him again after this reached her, let's hope he will give us a chance", Hippolyta nodded while gazing at the ocean like always and I sighed at her, during these few months it's what she does gazing at the ocean and is hoping Damian or Diana to return to this island.
Diana pov :
I received a letter addressed to me from Africa, and the sender is Antiope?, I frowned and opened the letter, it says the my mother is thinking about Damian everyday and is crying while looking at Ocean hoping they'll return one day and she can ask for his forgiveness, I laughed at this and thought what a big joke? , but something tells me this is maybe true, well let's try and convince Damian just this once and if they couldn't get his forgiveness and did something like last time, then I'll cutoff all my ties with themyscira.
pov ends
Diana sighed at the letter while Damian who is cooking breakfast as fried eggs for them frowned when he saw Diana conflicting feelings felt something is wrong and arrived beside her to see the letter from Antiope, he read and laughed out loud while Diana looked at him and Damian said," nice prank from them Diana, I'll go back and cook for both of us".
Diana also considered this to be a prank but her heart is telling her this is genuine and looked Damian who knew the meaning and his expression darkened and replied," I know what you're going to ask me Diana, but if this is a trick like they did in those years to break my hope, I don't know what to do? I'm scared you'll leave me because of them, I don't want to go back to the island or to the cell, I don't want to be disappointed or grew a false hope".
Diana is silent for few seconds and asked," Damian, even I don't want to ask you but I felt strange feeling from this letter and something's telling me to believe them just for this once, please Damian do this for me just this once, let's go to themyscira".
Damian fell down on the sofa and is in deep thoughts while nodding his head and said," okay Diana, but just this once, but if they just planned this all to capture and get you to return to themyscira, I won't ever consider that island as I birth place or give that woman the respect of a mother", Diana nodded and kissed him on cheek while he smiled and cooked the break fast, he is in deep thoughts.
