An adventure of Wonder Woman: the snake in the Caduceus

**Chapter 7 ** ________________________________

Diana was put through a full medical exam, apparently to check if the Ritual had caused some damage to her body. She knew that it was of no use; her physical being had suffered no harm from the ordeal, unlike her soul, still weak and suffering after the brutal torture. She felt as if she was still under the effect of the foul yellowish light: devoid of any will, desire, passion. It would take time for her spiritual wounds to heal... and she was sure that this horrible experience would hunt her dreams for years to come.
The exams were finally over, and the Amazon was escorted to her room. Once there, she let herself fall on the bed, grateful for this opportunity to rest; though she was not tired physically, her heart felt like it was about to fall in pieces. She longed for Themyscira, for her mother's embrace... she wanted to lay her face over her tender breasts and cry all of her pain. But these were not the thoughts of a warrior, she said to herself. She had to hold on to her courage, even now, when she was alone and robbed of her divine powers. The Gods would help her. She prayed to them, asking for a bit of comfort, feeling terribly sad...
Diana slowly slid into a dream. She was laying on a marble floor, stretching endlessly in every direction; she saw big marble columns and cariatids, and a beautiful altar, radiating a warm light which seemed to penetrate into her heart, washing away her inner pain, mending her wounds and filling her with hope and courage. She kneeled in front of the altar, bathing in its light with gratitude. Then she knew she was not alone. A vision formed in front of her, a bright aura which she recognized as the multicolor glow...
the visible appearance of her divine gifts. She looked more carefully... there was someone in the glow, or maybe the mystical aura was shaping into a human form: as she approached, the figure's looks became more clear... she was almost hypnotized as she walked towards the image... or was it walking towards her? In the blink of an eye, she was in front of it, and she found herself staring at her own mirror image!
Diana woke up, a bit shocked. What was the meaning of this dream? Did the Gods send a vision to help her? Indeed, now she felt much better, the pain in her soul had vanished, leaving a peaceful calm. She reconsidered her situation: without her powers, she could count on her warrior prowess and Amazon strength only, and, while still more powerful than any man, this was probably not enough to fight a group of cyborgs and the hideous alien; so, a frontal attack was to be ruled out. Maybe, she could escape from this room without being noticed: then, her choices were to find an aircraft and escape, or to retrieve her magic ornaments and use them to open a gate to Themyscira. This was probably the best solution, provided that the relics were still in the same room and there was no surveillance.
She inspected her room. The force field was no more there, probably because her enemies considered it superfluous now that she was powerless. But they didn't take in appropriate consideration her Amazonian strength. After she was sure that the corridor was empty, she leaned her left shoulder against the door and started pushing with all her might. Her bare feet solidly set on the floor, her ample chest growing and deflating regularly with her breath, Diana pushed the sliding door until the metal started bending, and finally, with a groan, it yielded to her steel-like muscles. Still breathing hard for the effort, she bolted along the corridor. Hoping her luck would last enough, she reached the laboratory where - she remembered - her precious tiara and earrings were being held. But as the door opened and she raced into the room, her eyes met with a pair of black, hollow pools of darkness, behind which only evil and lust dwelled... the Sh'morill! It was there, alone, trying once again to discover the secret of her divine relics! Rage coursed through the Amazon's veins as she saw the unholy monster and remembered what she had been through, the pain she had to endure, the insult to her soul and body, and to her Gods... all because of the obscene being now in front of her. She ran towards it, determined to stop its plans once for all, and to take her sweet revenge over it. She would give the creature a painful lesson, then she would toss it back into the darkness which had vomited it... not before she had forced his obnoxious psionic voice to reveal her how to regain her powers!
But the alien was not defenceless. Raising arms made of tentacles, it summoned a force wall which stopped the enraged warrior female. Then started a trial of strength: one part tried to penetrate and smash the wall, pushing with both body and soul; the other desperately tried to keep it up, tapping all the resources of its black mind, earned through an eternity of dark secrets and corruption. But, as time passed, the wall slowly began to bend, crumbling under the pressure coming from the bewildered beauty.
Now she could sense fear into the monster's thoughts... she grinned her teeth and prepared for the final effort. The creature, aware of this, took its last chance: it ran towards its naked enemy, and with a thrust of its fake arms, making a breach in the wall, it grabbed the Amazon's huge breasts, coiling its tentacles around the mounds of flesh, latching the thin appendages around her nipples, slightly erect from the cold and the effort. Then it started sucking, extracting from them every bit of energy it could, trying to drain the powerful mounds and thus weaken its enemy. Diana cried from the pain, feeling a bolt of searing power being drawn from her warm breasts, coursing through her sensitive nipples. She was staggered for a moment, and the abomination took advantage of this. It dissolved the psionic wall, then left its grip over the beautiful mammaries and latched its tentacles around the woman's head: in a moment, her world was shattered in a shower of blinding lights and a cacophony of unbearable noises.
"No!" she shouted, trying to regain control of her senses. But it was too late: some scientists entered the laboratory, hearing the call of their Master, and pushed the naked warrior against a chair-shaped machine, whose shackles closed automatically over her forearms , neck and and ankles. When she recovered from the mental attack, she found herself strapped to the same device which held her tiara and earrings, while some doctors were connecting electrodes to her forehead and temples.
"Unnnhhh... what is this? What are you trying to do to me?" she asked to the Sh'morill, still shaken and weak.
"You arrogant female! Now you will reveal the secret of travelling to your world, willing or not! Turn the machine on!"
Diana was hit by a small convulsion as the machine connected itself to her brain, its energy probes like soft, long, thin fingers starting to delve into her memory, extracting and storing her mental schemes.
"Stop! No! Stop this at once!" she cried, feeling once again violated into her most inner being. She instinctively tensed all her muscles, pushing against her restraints, trying to break them without success. "No! I don't want! Stoooop!!!" She felt her whole memory being scanned and catalogued, her most intimate secrets, her whole life in Themyscira, her fights, victories, losses, love games... memories of her mother, her sisters and friends, herself: everything was unmercifully laid bare, recorded and stored into the machine's memory. She tried to resist with every bit of will and strength, but without her divine powers, those valiant efforts were in vain; finally, the device found out her most valued treasure: the way of activating the sacred relics, creating a gate to her homeworld.
A circuit was switched and a connection was made between Diana's brain and her tiara and earrings. The objects activated and a small glowing circle of light formed in the air. Then the circle grew in size, until it reached the size of a human being: through it could be seen beautiful forests and rivers, beaches of golden sand and crystal water, and a big palace, similar to a Greek temple.
Themyscira.
"Nooooooooo!!" cried its Princess in despair. Nine cyborgs entered the room, armed with ray guns. They marched towards the gate and crossed it, beginning the invasion of the Amazons' sacred island. Then, while the prisoner warrior could still see them, they started flying, in a way Diana found horribly familiar.
"How do you like the use we made of your powers, my dear?" echoed in her mind the mocking psionic voice, feeling like it came from another universe.
Diana was petrified. She couldn't believe anything she had just seen; for a moment she thought she was still dreaming. "What... what... have you... done...?"
"It's very simple. We couldn't transfer your powers to our cyborgs, and even if we could, only one of them would become powerful enough to win against an Amazon. Your sisters could easily overpower a single unit, even if it was as strong and fast as you formerly were. Instead, we chose to use the living energy extracted from your body to strengthen our soldiers."
The monster was amused at the Princess' confused stare. "These humans I control were searching a way to replicate your powers in laboratory, to enhance their artificial beings. Thanks to my Arts, their research produced a device called the Energizer. Your divine gifts have been stored into it, and when they are brought to life with your powerful energy, they can energize a living being, granting to it your former abilities for a limited time, provided that it has enough similarity to you. That's because all our cyborgs are females."
Now Diana understood completely the evil creature's plan. Those nine monstrosities, endowed with her lost powers, could really subdue her sisters, provided they took them by surprise; and, once they had all the Amazons to draw energy from, they could produce more and more artificial beings, fuel them with her divine abilities and... she was shaken. In this moment, conquering the whole world didn't seem such madness to her.
After a while, there was some movement in the circle of light, and two cyborgs emerged, carrying a captured Amazon. Her head was hanging, probably bacause of the stunning rays, but under the beautiful straws of golden blonde hair Diana immediately recognized her friend. "Eutherpe!"
The prisoner was dressed with a light, delicate robe, like the one she herself wore in her free time, walking along a river, writing poems or songs... a blind rage took her, and she strived against her bonds.
"Good... our first prey" whispered the alien horror, approaching the young woman. "Strip her naked."
The cyborgs brutally tore the robe away from the Amazon, which raised her head a bit, still confused. Her naked body, though not as outstanding as Diana's, was incredibly beautiful, feminine but toned, with ample breasts, thin waist, full hips and a wonderful behind, overlooked by two pretty, small pits; her legs were long and proportioned, yet muscular; her womanly belly was decorated with a delicious navel, and went down to a beautiful pubic mound, crowned by a proud clitoris which nearly reached the size of her Princess'.
The abomination cupped a breast with its obscene tentacles, examinating the warm globe, almost weighing it; then it caressed the prisoner's pink clitoris, pulling back its hood, stroking its head back and forth. Eutherpe groaned, slightly closing her legs, still semi-unconscious.
"I sense your friend has such delicious energy in her body" said the voice in Diana's head. "I am eager to put her in the Enervator. How many cells do you think will we obtain from this specimen, Princess?"
"Stop! Don't do that to her! Take me instead!" shouted Diana, writhing in the machine. The thought of her dear friend and lover strapped to that abhorrent device made her face become red with anger.
"Of course" laughed the Sh'morill. "I will take your strength, too. But not now. Sadly, it will take some time for your being to get used to your new... 'condition'. In this time, it would be wise not to extract your energy, as this could harm you permanently... so I think I'll just have to settle with your sisters."
"Noooooooo!!" cried the warrior Princess while her fellow Amazon was brought to the Enervator.
"Don't worry, my dear" mocked the vile alien. "You will be allowed to see. To be correct, you will be forced to see everything; I would never waste such fun as your despair will offer me."
Diana was then drugged with a small dose of relaxant, and taken away along with Eutherpe. When they arrived to the laboratory, she was tied to a steel ring which sported shackles to keep her arms and legs spread. She stood there, helpless, watching her sister in arms being tied to the dark metal table, and prepared for the horrible process. The young woman was regaining consciousness, and she recognized her. "Princess! Where... where are we? Who are these men? What are they going to do to me??" She started to struggle against her bonds, but even her Amazon strength couldn't set her free.
"Eutherpe... I... I'm sorry... it's all my fault" said Diana, in despair. She started to writhe, though she knew she had no chance of escaping from her restraints.
"Ahh! Stop! Don't touch me there! What do you think you are doing?!" was the naked maiden's indignated reaction to her clitoris being unhooded, massaged, caressed. "No! This is... wrong! I don't want! Stop touching you... you..."
At the end, her sex was aroused, though it was more difficult than with Diana. The swollen pleasure organ was sucked into the glass tube, and the suction cups were attached to her breasts and navel, while the rest of her body was covered with the smaller electrodes. Finally, on her head were placed the metal plates. Everything was now ready for the enervation.
"Princess! What are they going to... Yaaaaaarrgh!!!" Eutherpe's body arched as the machine sent its powerful energy into her body, penetrating her flesh, tendons and bones with one hundred thousand needles. Then the energy suction began, and the beautiful Amazon stood petrified, her green eyes wide open, her stunning face contracted in an expression of pure suffering, while she felt her every strength, of mind, body and soul, being forcibly extracted from her.
"Nooooooo!!!!" Diana was feeling even more pain than if she had been enervated instead of her friend. Tears came to her eyes, surging from the bottom of her heart, but she held them back: the perverted monster beside her was not having this satisfaction, she swore.
Now the tortured blonde maiden was squirming without control, feeling all the pain of the process as the device reached its full power. Intense flows of white glowing energy were erupting from her breasts, her navel and her still swollen clitoris; all the electrodes on her body were shining with her warm living essence. Her cries of pain and anger grew louder, while she strained to resist the machine and retain her energies. Of course, all her efforts were in vain, and Diana knew it. She herself could barely oppose any resistance thanks to her divine gifts: her sister had no chance at all.
Some time passed, maybe four, five minutes which nonetheless looked like an eternity to the two Amazons. Gradually, Eutherpe's cries became moans, as rebellion left place to weakness; her writhing ceased, to be replaced by a faint shaking, and the light coming from her body grew weaker and weaker. Then, the naked warrior woman stood still, while one of the doctors counted "98... 99 percent... enervation completed."
"How much did we get?" asked the alien, with inhuman lust.
"Two full cells. Definitely not Wonder Woman's level, but not bad either."
"Yes, not too bad for such a low level Amazon" replied the tentacled horror, with despise in its psionic voice.
Diana was enraged, her face red. "You beast! You obscene parasite! How do you dare saying this! You took away all her strength!"
"Yes, and it will be good for our goals, though not too abundant. Of course, I will expect much more from stronger females... such as your Mother."
The raven-haired Princess was petrified. Her face, from red, became ash-gray. "You..." She almost couldn't talk in front of such a blasphemy. "You won't touch my mother!!" she shouted.
"I will do much more than touching" replied the monster, patiently. "I will suck her dry, extracting every little bit of energy from her body. Then, I will enter her mind, to absorb all the secrets of the Queen of Themyscira... secrets of centuries, of magic, even of your beloved Gods."
Diana did not reply. In her heart, she felt a cold wind of misery and despair. The being from beyond the universe observed her for a while, then got away, ordering his slaves to put the enervated Amazon and her Princess in their cell.

**Chapter 8 ** _________________________

Time flew, unnoticed, as the white cell hid night and day from view. Diana took care of her sister and lover in any way she could. She slept with her, warming the unconscious warrior's cold body with her own heat, knowing well the icy sensation in one's limbs after the horrible process called enervation. Eutherpe's nipples and clitoris were colder than the rest of her body; she tenderly took them in her mouth one after another, heating them, remembering with pain their hot touch back in Themyscira, in their love games on the golden beaches...
The blonde warrior groaned; her emerald-green eyes opened, and she saw her lover beside her, a sad expression on her beautiful face. "P... Princess? It's... so good... to see... you."
"Don't speak, Eutherpe. You're still very weak." Her eyes seemed to be ready to shed a river of tears. She couldn't forgive herself for allowing all this to happen. Not to mention what still had to come.
"Why are you... so sad? I'm all... right, you know. I'm just a bit... tired."
"Yes, my beloved sister. Sleep a bit more." She caressed the maiden's beautiful face, holding her tears. This was not the moment to be weak. She had to find a way of stopping this madness. The Gods had given her their trust, and as legitimate Princess of Themyscira, she was determined to end the foul creature's plan, even if it would cost her life. She couldn't allow her sisters to be turned into eternal slaves to a race of perverted aberrations. Neither the Earth people were to become their food.

After a while, Eutherpe could stay awake and drink a bit of vitaminic extract. She even ate something. Diana explained the situation, telling her the heinous alien's plans, what it had already done to her and where they were, with abundant details about the rooms and corridors she had seen. The warrior needed to know everything about the place, should they find a way to escape.
"I don't understand." The warrior's emerald eyes stared at her companion with firmness. "Why are you blaming yourself for what happened? You don't have anything at all to be blamed of. They captured you, they put you through the same torture I endured, twice; they stripped you of your divine powers, in a way that would have obliterated anyone without such a strong heart as yours. They explored your mind, stealing your most treasured memories. I will tell you one thing, Diana: you are the one who has suffered the most, and I can understand if you feel weak, in your body and your soul. It's just natural. So, please accept it, without trying to carry the burden of all this situation. Remember, we are all sisters in arms, and we fight our battles. Each one of us."
The raven-haired Amazon looked at her companion, her blue eyes wet, recognising her friend's strong and kind character. She was right; the enervations, the loss of her powers, the mind battles... every one of these ordeals had left its mark on her, and now she was terribly tired. She had tried to deny it, even taking on herself all the fault for what had happened until now; but in her heart, she knew she had done her best, every moment since she had been abducted. Had she led herself so much astray from the road of Truth?
She entered the bed, into her sister's embrace. Now all the weakness she had hid into herself came out, and Diana laid her head over Eutherpe's beautiful breasts, tears now flowing from her eyes, finally free.

After a long sleep, the Amazons woke up; their eyes met and they smiled, finding joy in each other's presence. For Diana, this was the first time she had slept with peace in her heart since she was in that building: she felt much better, and much more confident. Eutherpe had regained most of her strength, and could walk without effort, especially after a good breakfast. They took a shower together, and the blonde warrior was happy to see that her Princess wasn't sad anymore, nor did she care about her lost beauty. The gift of Aphrodite, like any other, had been torn away from her; though she was still very beautiful, she didn't show any more that uncanny allure that made her skin glow, setting the hearts of men and women on fire. Her breasts, once hard and perfect in shape, were now hanging like those of every normal woman, and their size had decreased noticeably. But Diana only cared about her physical and spiritual conditions, focusing her mind on any chance she could get to counterattack their enemy, showing once again her nature: that of a warrior born.
Eutherpe caressed her shoulders, coming closer to her body with an unmistakable light in her eyes. "Princess" she said, her voice low and soft. "Won't you play with me just a little bit?"
Diana looked at her sister in arms, a bit uncertain. "I don't know, Eu. Do you think it's wise in your conditions? You're still recovering your... Oooohhhhh!..." Her lover had unhooded her clitoris, massaging its head with the experience she had gained in years of love games on their homeland. "I'm in the right condition just now" she whispered to Diana's ear. Her thumb and index finger caressed the growing pleasure organ while her middle finger delved deep into the pink lips beneath, looking for a spot it knew very well... "There" she muttered. Her Princess let out a deep, ecstatic moan, her neck arched back, her eyes closed, her legs spread and tensed, standing on the tip of her toes and shivering against the shower wall as warm water flew over her skin. The blonde Amazon was now kneeling, reaching for her friend's aroused femininity with her tongue, gently receiving the swollen clitoris into her mouth while two of her fingers danced into the moist vaginal channel, with such a grace that could seem impossible for a warrior hardened in battle.
Though her abundant sexual charge had been sucked away together with her divine beauty, Diana retained the normal instincts and desires of a well-developed, healthy young woman. Moreover, her love for the blonde Amazon was so refreshing after all the debase her body had to endure to the hands of those men and their Master... her fingers were so gentle, so delicate and thin... she felt them move inside her, tingling her most sensitive spots, while her mouth went slowly back and forward, sucking her swollen clitoris while her tongue expertly caressed its head. Eutherpe felt her Princess' incoming orgasm, recognising her now deeper moans, her light breath, the contractions in her womb. Her face was suddenly hit by a rich flux of vaginal juices as a liberating climax made Diana cry in ecstasy, arching against the wall, every limb tensed. She moaned and cried again, while her sister continued sucking her femininity, keeping her level of pleasure from falling too soon, and receiving another powerful squirt in her face.
Diana kneeled in front of Eutherpe, sweetly exhausted, and hugged her, grateful for the love she had just received. She gave her friend a deep kiss, then started licking her nipples, already hard; she sucked and licked the pink, little mounds, gently biting them every now and then, while her hands massaged the tender breasts. After a while, the blonde warrior arched her back, lifting her hip as she was leaning on her hands and toes: Diana knew the meaning of that, and started going down, kissing the toned abdomen, licking the delicious navel, biting lightly the sensitive skin in her friend's inner thighs. She saw that her majestic clitoris was fully erect, its pink head peeking from under the hood, waiting to be swallowed by her red, full lips. Another cry of ecstasy filled the room, followed by yet another one: Eutherpe's face was now deep red, wonderfully contrasting with her emerald-green eyes, which now seemed to shine. Diana made her friend lay on her back and took her right leg, raising it and giving a kiss under her delicate little foot. She smiled hearing her lover's soft laugh, and started to kiss her toes, tenderly biting them, sucking their sensitive tips. Meanwhile, she brought her pubes towards the other woman's, until they touched: then she started moving back and forth, hugging the perfect leg, feeling her clitoris rubbing Eutherpe's, waves of pleasure radiating from their warm genitals touching. It didn't take too long for the Amazons to reach a powerful orgasm, which left them panting on the shower floor.
"I think... it's enough for now" said Diana, hugging the blonde warrior. "You're still weak."
"But you came twice" protested cheerfully her friend, her green eyes still shining. "It's not fair."
"Well, then I promise that when all this has come to an end, we will set our score even." She winked with a little smile.
"Yes, we have a long backlog. Remember, it's a promise!"
They dried each other, then laid down over the bed. A small noise could be heard, coming from somewhere near.
"What's that?" asked Diana, her sensible ears on alert.
"Seems like it's coming from the shower" replied her fellow Amazon. They stood up, their senses tensed: they were warriors again, ready to react to every danger. In that place nothing could be underestimated.
The sound was like soft thumps coming from somewhere behind the shower. They carefully moved it aside and removed the water drain pipe.
A face could be seen beyond the small hole. It was the young scientist. The two women kneeled and could see that his eyes had will and purpose again.
"You finally noticed my signals! I have been trying for a long while, but I think you were being too... busy to notice."
Diana and Eutherpe looked each other, with a little smile. "You're free from the Sh'morill's control? How did you manage it?"
"Well, the monster set its grip back on my mind back then. But your Lasso of Truth had showed me the lie behind its dark spell, and after a while I managed to regain enough of my will to wear one of our psionic shields. That got rid of the remaining influence the beast had over me."
"How's the battle going on Themyscira? Did you hear something?"
"Many of your sisters have been abducted. The cyborgs are programmed to use ambush tactics, attacking in groups when their target lowers its guard." Diana's face became a bit dark, thinking about her fellow Amazons being attacked so cowardly, far from any aid, without a chance to defend themselves. "Where did they take our companions? We must free them!"
"I'm afraid this isn't possible. Since you were captured, many of my colleagues have been building more Enervators, in preparation for this phase of the project. Now every woman from Themyscira who has been abducted is having her energy drained, and because they are under close surveillance, every effort in this sense would be very dangerous."
The two Amazons shivered at these words. Were so many of their fellow warriors being put through that terrible ordeal? Things were going worse than they thought, because they counted on the fact that, with only one machine, the process would be much longer and their chances of freeing the prisoners higher.
The young man continued, his face now even more serious. "This is not the only bad news I'm carrying to you. I'm sorry, but I heard one of the older scientists say that even your mother, Queen Hyppolita, has been captured."
"What did you say?!?" Diana shouted as her worst fears came true. "My mother??"
"Queen Hyppolita? How could that be? She is always very well guarded in her palace!" Eutherpe was as shocked as her Princess was, but managed to control her emotions.
"I don't know the details. It seems that a group of three units has been sent into her room this night. She and her guard managed to destroy two cyborgs... most impressive, if I can say... but they lost ultimately."
A grin appeared on Diana's face. "Good work, Mother." she thought.
"I won't let them harm the Queen of Themyscira! Let's go, Princess!" Eutherpe stood on her feet, ready to bash the door of their cell although she had not yet regained her strength.
"There are some obstacles" continued plainly the scientist. "First, the force field around your prison has been reactivated since your last walk out, Wonder Woman. Second, I believe that your brave fellow Amazon is definitely not in good shape, as only one day has passed since she was enervated. No offense meant, but I think that she could be of little help to you, if not even of hindrance."
The blonde maiden looked at him with fire in her eyes, but did not reply. "Very well" said Diana. "Then I'd say that we must first find a way to escape from here. After that, I will try to free my mother and stop that heinous beast from the Void. Eu, you will go back to Themyscira and warn all the other Amazons of this danger. Assemble them into the Palace and tell them not to go anywhere alone. If the cyborgs attack, just defend yourselves; don't try anything and don't take hazardous actions."
"Princess! I... I want to help you! Do you really believe that I would slow you down?" The warrior was sincerely surprised.
Diana rose to her feet and gently hugged her friend. "No, Eu. I know you could fight bravely even now, and I would be happy to have you at my side. But without their Queen and her guard, made from our commanders... our sisters won't be able to set up an effective resistance. They don't even know what's happening! I need you to take the risk to reach the Palace alone, find the HIgh Priestess Callyope or any other high rank Amazon and call back every inhabitant of Themyscira to the Palace. Please, Eu!"
The emerald-green eyes looked into hers and saw sincerity and concern. "Yes, Princess. I will do what you order, though I'd rather fight alongside of you."
"About the force field, I think I can take care of it" said the young man. "I have enough permissions on the central mainframe to shut it down. Moreover, I managed to get this for you." Something passed through the small hole. Diana recognized its golden shine at once. "My Lasso of Truth!" She took the sacred weapon with gratitude.
"I'm going now" said the man. "I think your mother is still in the room where the Gate has been opened. Everything is in your hands, Wonder Woman." His face vanished.
"I'm not Wonder Woman anymore" said Diana, a bit sad. "But this doesn't change anything." Her hands closed into fists. "I'm still an Amazon, a warrior of Themyscira. I will end this nightmare and send that monster back into his Void!" Eutherpe nodded, her face serious, the same deep resolve into her heart.
