Wonder Woman has seen her sisters, the Amazons fall victim to their fear. Their failure to accept the change - to accept the lost sons they abandoned - has driven them to find a new champion in Donna Troy. Donna is merely a girl, and Diana assumes she cannot understand that she is just a pawn. Fortunately, Dessa steps between the two, and demands of Derinoe an explanation for the conflict. The old woman explains that Diana brought this fate upon herself - that because she acted only in the interests of herself and the Sons of Themyscira, she has been replaced as Queen. The other Amazons call on Diana to prove her commitment to them, and reluctantly, Diana agrees to prove herself just one last time - and never again. Derinoe warns that the challenge will be met within two days.
