Hippolyta And the Curse of the Amazons
“Below them, long, empty streets rayed out beyond the crumbling walls. Nothing seemed to be alive down there; nothing was stirring. Not birds or animals or people.
“Is this it?” Tithonus asked. “Is this Arimaspa?”
“Unless there’s another lost city around here,” Hippolyta replied.
They got off the horse and cast around for a way down. Tithonus found a steep slope. “There!” he cried out, pointing.
“We’ll never make it down that in one piece,” Hippolyta said.
They walked the horse along the cliff’s... edge, and farther on, Hippolyta saw an ancient track that descended at a more agreeable angle. But it was badly rutted and looked barely passable. She pointed.
“That?” Tithonus’ voice held pure astonishment.
“That,” she answered, and slowly headed the horse in the direction of the old road.
Now that Arimaspa lay before them, Hippolyta felt in no hurry to discover its secrets, for the darkest secret of all was her own: Tithonus was to be her sacrifice. His life was the price to be paid for the safety of her people.MoreLess
