Okay, ya'll, here is my entry for our pal DestroXXIV and his little 'forced' contest. This one seemed to be far longer than ones I've written up in the past (had almost twenty written pages before I knew it!), and comes out as four parts, but it was well worth it. Comments and reviews, welcome!

The Amazon Curia is used and mentioned here with permission from her owner, our lovely lady

Circe and Hippolyta (at least the versions here), as well as the Amazons themselves mentioned here - Harbinger, Artemis, General Phillippus - and Themyscira, as well as Rao, Krypton, and the Kryptonian race are all intellectual property of DC Comics, and are used here as plot elements.

My OCs (all new, too!): Lord Halcyon / Aurum Arcana / Bennu Helios / Blitz Vixen / Corona / Ebonflare / Shock Valkyrie / Void Emerald are all intellectual property of yours truly.

Yggdrasil and the All-Father (Odin): part of known Norse mythology (since Marvel uses it more than DC, I'm firmly thinking pure mythology on them).

Cookies to you smart ones who can figure out who each one of the Ladies are modeled after in this story; note if you want to guess. No prizes, but serious applause if you can figure it out.

Some of the plot elements used here are not entirely mine; if you want to know more, drop me a note and I will glad respond with where I saw them, and chose to use them here.
