Hippolyta and her girls had entered the hall with their weapons, and Penthesilea had done nothing to stop them.
Byron thought that had been a stupid thing to do. Letting your enemy into your house, with her weapons and sitting with her while you don't have your weapons with you.
He was soon going to learn that he had underestimated Penthesilea and her girls.
Because, when Hippolyta and her girls drew their swords, Penthesilea's girls immediately glanced at her, and when she nodded, they suddenly had weapons in their hands, ready to defend themselves.
Byron would later learn that weapons were fastened under the tables. That New Themyscira was always ready to defend itself.
However, right now, he knew he had to do something.
Hippolyta's girls outnumbered Penthesilea's.
But then again, perhaps Penthesilea's girls were better fighters than Hippolyta's. Perhaps they could win.
