05 The secrets in the bush
A tap on the door.
“I knew you’d be up and looking like a million bucks,” said Roger, sleepily, letting his companion into his hotel room.
She only wore a turquoise short-sleeved shirt with denim jeans, but Roger’s comments were referring to her complexion and pearly white smile.
“I come armed with Alka-Zeltzer,” consoled Diana.
Roger dropped two of the fizzy tablets into his black coffee. Diana nearly cautioned him about the caffeine intake then thought better of it. He turned his laptop to face her on the sofa.
“I don’t know how you guessed it, but you’re right, a meteor from the asteroid came down in the Blue Mountains,” he explained. “Only, there are some anomalies that I haven’t quite worked out yet… Look at this, Di, the meteoroid was at least the width of a football field. We’d call this an impactor if it landed in one piece. It should have prompted the ATLAS system to give a major alert of a potential disaster.”
“So why didn’t it?”
“That’s where it gets interesting. I tracked the meteoroid from the moment it exploded out of the asteroid to its journey through space. On the approach to Earth eighty-six per cent of the mass completely vanishes, which is why ATLAS never flagged it.”
“Vanished? Could it have burnt up?”
“No, not from that distance. Meteorites burn up in the mesosphere – inexplicably that’s where it reappears – before disappearing into the stratosphere. If we weren’t suspicious of Chase’s shenanigans with the Chinese, I’d swear it was a data error.”
“Talking of which, Jase looks to be on his way to the meteor,” Diana observed on her phone’s map.
“It’s about a two-hour ride from here,” said Roger.
“Warren’s carriage awaits…”
They were soon rushing along the Great Western Highway in Warren’s cab, which threaded through the outreach of suburbs surrounded by the national park. “Diana had a good night last night” Warren kept insinuating with a dirty laugh. Roger decided ignorance is bliss. He preferred the wind on his face to the conversation in his present state. His mind returned to Kay-I and Jase sunbathing together; it infuriated him. By the time they reached their destination, his stomach was doing somersaults.
“Jase is on a bushwalk,” said Diana, turning to Roger. “I think a brisk walk is just what the doctor ordered,”
“Yeah,” Roger heaved.
“Warren, keep your eyes peeled and call us if you see anyone suspicious.”
“Sure will, Diana.”
Starting near the theme ride centre, Diana and Roger made their way along the bushwalk towards Katoomba Falls. Red parrots scattered free as the couple gently descended from the mountainous cliff top into the exotic forest. Every so often they came to a lookout over Jamison Valley. The spectacle of Katoomba Falls could be seen on the opposite side of the gorge before the mountains gave way to a carpet of forest beneath the naked blue sky.
“There are people under the falls,” said Diana. “According to his tracker, Jase is one of them.”
“I wonder if Kay-I is with them?” queried Roger eagerly.
Diana’s phone beeped. It was Warren. “Just to let you know that a lanky Chinese bloke and a little Sheila are on the way down after you. They’re wearing grey boiler suits and backpacks.”
“Great work, Warren, thanks.”
“What are we going to do about that?” Diana pondered. She could hear footsteps approaching.
“They’ll most probably be armed,” said Roger.
“Then I suggest we adopt the tactics of the bushwhackers,” she replied.
“I’ll follow your lead.”
Mei Li and Bo Hung resembled arborists making their way along the trail. Yet as they approached the lookout spot, it was tree branches that cut them down from under the bushes. Diana and Roger emerged on opposite sides to seize the Chinese captives. Being short in stature but athletically strong, Mei Li managed a surprising getaway as Diana rushed around a bush. Lanky Bo Hung wasn’t so quick to his feet as to his handgun on his belt. Roger backed off as soon as he saw the henchman pointing a firearm at him for a second time in less than twenty-four hours.
Having set off after Mei Li, Diana caught sight of the stand-off in her peripheral vision. She gave up the chase and found cover under a tree.
Bo Hung got to his feet with a murderous look in his savage eyes. He aimed outright at Roger who raised his hands. The Chinese operative ushered him back against the fence. His intention was to transfer Roger’s planned grave from the sea to the forest below.
“Shoot me if you’re going to do it,” taunted Roger. “I’ll thank you later…”
“You can thank me now if you wish,” Wonder Woman said, pulling Bo Hung’s arm down and extracting the handgun out of his clutches. “You think you can handle him?” she asked, passing on the firearm to Roger.
“Sure. And thanks, again, Wonder Woman.”
“You’re welcome,” she replied in a titter. “I’m going to find his little friend. I have a feeling she’s loitering about here place.”
Wonder Woman trotted down the trail. Despite her casual pace, her every sense remained alert to an attack. It predictably came by way of a gunshot behind a eucalyptus tree, which would have killed any ordinary person who made themselves such an open target. The super-heroine heard the shot in a fraction of a second. By instinct, she placed her right arm in just the right position for the bullet to clatter off her bracelet.
The hunter would become the hunted: Wonder Woman charged the area. Another shot chimed off her bracelet as the assailant fled. Diana caught sight of a figure in black tearing down the woodland; a clever tactic since it prevented her from deploying her lasso or tiara.
It dawned on Diana that the path through the forest was a faster route in the same direction. Wonder Woman followed the trail at a jogging pace. As the slope became steeper, a flight of concrete stairs replaced the dirt track. After the first few steps, a thin wire rope shot across the path into a tree trunk on the other side. It was too late for even Wonder Woman to save her fall. She toppled over to the bottom of the flight.
After an unseemly landing in mud, Diana heard wild female laughter. She sat up to see her half-masked tormentor wearing a black figure-hugging catsuit and bulky red belt.
“Laugh while you can,” said Diana.
“If only I had time to take a picture,” taunted the figure in a Chinese accent.
“You don’t!” Wonder Woman retorted with portentous vigour.
The antagonist ran into the other side of the woodland. Wonder Woman followed. She could see the rear of her enemy standing still in the light piercing through the trees. The masked adversary glanced back once more before disappearing. Diana arrived in time to watch a catsuited figure descend by wire rope down the mountain into the forested valley. There was little point in pursuing further. Besides, Diana Prince needed to get back to Roger.
“It’s good to see you are all right,” Roger said, still pointing the handgun at its owner.
“I’m afraid I lost his colleague,” replied Diana Prince.
“Don’t sweat it, these agents are pros. I’d be dead now if it weren’t for another miraculous appearance by Wonder Woman. I wish I knew how she manages to arrive on the scene at just the right time.”
“Well, some things are worth knowing, while others, perhaps, we should just be grateful for,” redirected Diana as she conducted a body search on the captive. “Right now, I want to know what’s inside our friend’s backpack.”
Manoeuvring his arms out of the backpack, Bo Hung coyly struck the side of his belt. It fired a dart attached to a wire rope into the nearest bark. He threw himself over the fence into the valley below.
“I’m sorry, Di, I couldn’t shoot him in cold blood,” admitted Roger in an embarrassed tone.
“I’d be surprised if you did. He isn’t important anyway. However, I think the contents of this backpack might well be.”
She pulled out some padded safety gloves, a small fishing net, and a transparent plastic container that had a red lid with a handle.
“It’s a fish tank,” observed Roger.
“Exactly,” Diana mused.
“Why would a Chinese agent be carrying a fish tank and net in a backpack?”
“I have a feeling the answer is floating beneath Katoomba Falls,” said Diana. She repacked the backpack and flung it around her shoulder. “I say let’s go fishing!”
They made their way into a darker and denser part of the trail with overarching wilderness.
“That’s strange,” said Diana viewing her phone. “Jase’s location has stopped transmitting.”
“We may soon run into him in real life,” Roger forewarned. “This trail is the only way back.”
As they got nearer to the falls, the sounds of whistling birds were drowned out by the crashing din of water pounding the hard rock. It splattered onto the rocky brown ledge, forming the shallowest splash pool, where water trickled over the edge for another immense drop into the Kedumba River.
“No sign of life,” said Roger on arrival at the fall.
“I’m not so convinced,” Diana replied. “Let’s take a closer look.”
Diana legged her way over the barrier. Roger followed suit. Streams rippled underfoot as she knelt to inspect strange invertebrates in the shallow pool, no bigger than a closed sea anemone.
“Have you ever seen aqueous invertebrates like the ones swimming in these pools?” said Diana.
“Now you mention it, I haven’t, but I’m no entomologist.”
“These are not insects, they have singular translucent bodies, like jellyfish, but with tripod appendages.”
“I didn’t realise you were such an enthusiastic taxonomist,”
“Oh, I have many hidden talents,” Diana teased. She took out the contents of the backpack. “I’m going to capture a few in the tank. We can get them analysed in a laboratory later.”
“It’s you who is to be captured, Prince,” surprised Jase Chase with glee.
“Your investigation ends here,” said Mr Chin accompanying him.
Somehow, they were listening to the conversation from the far side of the ledge without being seen. Over at the barrier, Bo Hung and the masked female figure were covering the end of the trail.
“Check them for arms. Then you blindfold them,” bellowed Mr Chin.
Still crouched in the pool, Diana glanced up at Roger with her head and eyes motioning towards the trail as the two operatives climbed over the barrier.
“Stand up,” ordered the masked operative.
Diana hoisted the fish tank of mystery creatures into her face. Roger launched another fist into Bo Hung’s bony gut. The escapees made it to the barrier where they were met by a gun barrel staring them in the face. Diana looked into the eyes of the owner – it was Mitch Kawai.
“Sorry, I can’t blow my cover,” he quietly explained, “but believe me, it’s three against four now.”
Diana nodded her approval to Roger. After all, Mitch swore to be a C.I.A. agent while ensnared by the Lasso of Truth.
“Disgusting creatures!” snapped Mei Li, tearing her half-mask off in a shudder.
“I knew it was you behind the mask,” Diana said joining them. “Just as I knew it was you who drove me off the road in Honolulu and tried to make it look like Kay-I. I wonder why?”
“Too bad you’ll never live long enough to find out, Agent Prince,” said Mei Li.
“I’ve heard similar from far more intimidating adversaries than you,” countered Diana with a stoic smile.
Diana watched Mitch blindfold Roger. She was still unsure about him. As he did the same to her, she glimpsed into his dark eyes hoping for some reassurance. None was forthcoming. Then she heard him say, “You’re doing great,” spoken in breathy words vibrating her eardrum.
They stepped through the splash pool. In Mitch’s arms, he literally could have led her off a cliff. Her senses detected a different course. The slight breeze in the air and the sound of the waterfall instantaneously ceased. The temperature felt cooler. Through the covering, she discerned lit indoor surroundings. When Mitch removed the blindfold, Diana found her intuition was right, but unfortunately, her judgement left much to be desired this time…
They stood in a circular shaped room comprised of what looked like perfectly sculpted steel. Artificial light emanated from the square tiled floor. The globular roof was a transparent window in the darkness where Diana still thought she could see the rock formation of a cave ceiling above. In the centre of the room stood a vertically oblong contraption that resembled a body sauna made from the finest silver.
“What is this place? Where am I?” she said.
“Step inside the cyclical machine. It has been specifically designed for you,” Mitch informed.
“You’re kidding me?” said Diana with concern.
“I’m not kidding anymore, Diana,” he replied, prodding his handgun into her back.
The door on the cyclical machine opened sideways in an impressively fierce motion. Diana stepped into the unit. It was shoulder height for Diana.
“Put your arms in the air,” said Mitch. The door snapped shut encompassing her body but not her arms. “Lower your arms onto the width of the machine.”
She did so along the purpose-made grooves. Her arms extended sideways in a horizontal position.
“I take it this means you’re not on our side? And you’re not CIA?”
“Correct,” he confirmed closing moulded restraints over elbows. “You bought that phoney CIA story like a rookie. It was all too easy to lead you here.”
“You won’t find me quite so compliant once I get out of this ridiculous contraption,” Diana responded.
“Yeah, yeah, sure…”
“Where’s Roger?”
“Safe. Reunited with his wife. We have no plans to harm him. Your friend is an extra insurance policy. We should thank you for getting him involved.”
Diana shook her head in disbelief. “Who are you? Who are you really?”
“You may as well know that my real name is Jun De Wang, the grandmaster of the Temple of New Science. But what we would like to know is who you are really. Visitant thinks you are special and this machine will prove it.”
“And who exactly is Visitant?”
“Your true saviour that night in Honolulu,” said Jun De Wang on exiting the room. “I was sent to make sure you were dead in the car wreck, but for some reason, Visitant instructed me to save you.”
Once the door to the room sped shut, Diana felt a sickening loneliness of betrayal. Although her upperarms were trapped on top of the cyclical machine, she tried to force the door open, or pull herself up but was jammed stuck. Two creepy robotic arms unlatched off the top of the wall. They positioned themselves to the left and right sides of her face. Their heads beamed blue light.
The calm before the storm felt like an eternity…
“I’m waiting…” Diana called out in the silent, sterile tension. She suspected the heads contained cameras and microphones.
Slowly the cycling machine began turning clockwise on a 360-degree pivot. At this moment Diana began to deduce the contumelious intentions of her captor.
“Oh, no, you can’t be serious…” she cried. “Stop this now!”
Yet the cycles only increased velocity. The spinning hurtled by with Diana trapped inside and her arms helplessly stretched out on top of the machine. Her glasses flew away, her ponytail unfurled, but the silver bullet was still required. It came in the form of an electrical current from the heads of the robotic arms. The blue volts passed out of the heads, and into Diana’s temples, as if they were synapses. She shrieked as the current rippled through every extremity of her body. The charge built until a burst of energy struck the room in bright white light. The fears of her deduction became reality: Diana Prince transformed into Wonder Woman against her will…

# 1 even before reading: happy you are back !!! Thanks ! Now I am going to read it
👍
# 1 read (better drank it 😀) three immediate thoughts 1 very well written 2 Mei-Li is very promising tough with a sense of humour 3 the Visitant ? an Andros like character (reference is to the tv show). General comment: this chapter is a step up compared to the rest of story !!!
Hi # 1, yes, writing a chapter is like a cooking a complicated meal in that it takes ages to prepare and a few minutes to consume! 1) Thanks. 2) I thought you’d like that character. 3) I know what you mean. 4) I presume that’s a compliment, so thanks!!
# 1 yes it is a compliment: I have to admit that the first 4 chapters were very well written from the formal point of view but they lacked a bait, something that brought the reader deep into the story, cheering and supporting the heroine and her associates. Now we fully recovered this aspect and the readers are no more readers but feel themselves into the story. At least this is my feeling, of course I don’t want to “teach cats how to climb” but give my constructive, genuine and loyal support. Thanks !!!!
You’re likely right. My stories tend to build into somethng bigger. Perhaps this one took its time. I appreciate you’re honesty, # 1. Thanks.
I have to admit, this one has thrown me for a loop or two, and I’m not on the trail of what is going on behind the scenes. The asteroid that was blown up . . . the aqueous invertebrates… and now the Visitant. I get the feeling there’s something really big going on, maybe of an alien nature? And is Mitch still playing along? I would assume not, given his claim to be the grandmaster, and forcing Diana to transform. Did he have some ability to resist the lasso earlier? Maybe everything so far has been subterfuge, and getting to the bottom of her secrets and power has been their true goal all along? Chapter 3 seems to suggest otherwise, with talk of cooridnates and the like, but this story has thrown me for some loops already, so we’ll see. Or maybe their goal changed when she entered the picture, with her power and secrets being too irresisitable to pass up? Or perhaps this is all just to make sure they have her in their cluthces so she doesn’t interfere? Or maybe the Chinese see her as an American asset/weapon, and understandably want to learn all about her? Or maybe it’s a combination of some of that? So many questions . . . which is great!
On another note, I’ve always been a fan of forced transformations, but it is almost always OUT of the heroine persona. This was an amazing twist. It reminded me of the Pied Piper episode in a way, although in that one I was never sure whether she was casually waiting to be left alone in the chair before transforming, or if she was trying desperately to hold it back until the guy watching left. I liked here how the “zap” was sort of the final trigger. The whole thing was very well written, and is it strange that I found the ending of the chapter to be hot?
Now . . . what will be next? They’ve made her become Wonder Woman — will they be ready for the power that she now has? They knew how to make her transform, so I guess it would be surprising if they weren’t well versed in (and prepared for) her in her current form. But I guess we’ll see! Not to be needy or unappreciative, but it will be hard to wait! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hi, CJ, you’re questions are great because I really get to see it from the reader’s perspective. I do like to create a bit of suspense. It’s fair to say it’s big. I’m glad there are doubts about Mitch. The coordinates are a good call. You ask a lot of good questions regarding their intentions with Diana. As you’re an astute reader, I’m going to say you could make a good educated guess from the story so far, or just wait for the reveals!
I never thought of the Pied Piper episode until you mentioned it, but I see the similarity now. Thanks for all the praise includng the hotness comment. No, I don’t think it’s strange. I write these stories in the hope people will enjoy them. In which ways you enjoy them is your business, just like watching the TV show, or reading the comic book.
Diana and allies certainly are in the thick of it. I really appreciate your enthusiasm for the next chapter. I can’t say when it will be, but hopefully, you shouldn’t need to wait as long as you did for this one. Thanks, CJ.
# 1 back for more extended comments 1 initial exchange between Roger and Diana: nice with Roger giving the impression of an old gentleman now almost retired but who still have to play his role to praise women’s beauty, Diana always in a good mood when is with him 2 Wonder Woman and Mei Li confrontation: I appreciated the change of tone in Wonder Woman’s approach. In the beginning she thinks it will be as easy as it has been with Bo Hung but she forgot the “deadlier than the male” sentence … So she starts with a “casual pace” then went to a “jogging pace”: i know (at least i assume) that is just a coincidence but gives the idea of the increasing level of difficult in the confrontation. Then the increase accelerate like an avalanche or better a mudslide 😀 with Wonder Woman unceremoniously landing in mud and being mocked by her adversary. 3 Nice reversal compared to the usual situations is threat Wonder Woman loses her sense of humour: Mei Li laughs and jokes while Wonder Woman don’t “Laugh while you can” and “You don’t” is not Diana’s usual vocabulary and tone 4 the final twist and plot development: the Visitant reminds me of Andros from the tv show. I am assuming he is an alien but I could be totally wrong, let’s see. Will he be good, evil or neutral 5 is there is an Andros, will there be a Zardor ? Or a Zardress ? 😀 6 Mitch: a lot of things to be understood 7 I join CJ more or less explicit 😀 request: please the next chapter !!!! I am joking: take your time, we will be here
Hi # 1, 1) Yes, they get on well. Diana reigning in her caring maternal instincts too. 2) Apart from it being strategy by Diana to make herself a target, her pace was mimicing the TV series in my writing. 3) Yes. Thanks. Actually, one of the few times that Diana Prince did better than Wonder Woman before and after. I’m a bit surrpsied you never commented on Diana’s bushwhackers comment, which was an homage to the TV episode. 4) It would be wrong for me to say more than what you know on Visitant at present. 5) Haha! You always hoping for a female! 🧐 6) You should see how it all fits by the end. 7) I don’t see it as demanding but good that you feel that way. Thanks for the second set, # 1.
Expect the traps prepared for Wonder Woman, they seem to know all her power and secrets!
Hi Seymour, yes, Diana and her allies do appear to be a lot of danger!
Dear Author
Your story is getting better and better!
your writing and creation skills are increasing with each chapter, and even though we know that we do these things in our free time, it’s always good to know that there are fans eagerly waiting for the next story.
But… take your time, because the wait is good too! 🙂
And this chapter was very interesting. #1 and CJ have already commented on almost all of my ideas about what is happening, but I keep thinking about the small changes that Diana has been demonstrating throughout this journey of stories that you create. It seems to me that Diana, and Wonder Woman consequently, carry the weight of past adventures, and the trauma of the defeats she suffered along the journey. The dialogues you present to us make me feel that way, and as always, I wonder about the psychological aspects that this could have on the character’s direction and future…
Many surprises were presented to us:
– aquatic alien creatures.
– a meteor that will certainly show its reason for being, and what more mysteries will it bring?
– Mei-li seems more interesting with each chapter
– Mitch, or Jun de wang turned out to be a big surprise! His connection with the “visitor” and his ability to be immune to the powers of the magical bond seem to me to be a path increasingly full of possibilities of mystery and emotion. If “Mitch” knows of Diana’s two identities, he knows how to call her real form forcing her to transform against her will, she knows the power she possesses, and she certainly knows how to deal with it.
– And what is the interest in capturing Wonder Woman? Will it be for good, or a nefarious plot?
– And finally, what weight will this defeat have on Diana’s subconscious, since she had been showing that she remembers and feels everything that has already happened!
Now let’s wait…
And take your time, because the quality makes the wait worth it!!
congratulations!!
*PS.: I couldn’t resist, and made three panels representing the final scene. I hope you don’t get mad at me for the liberty I took. If you don’t like it, let me know and I’ll delete it!

Hi Ed, I’m pleased you think my stories are getting better – thank you.
I think it’s natural for Diana to be affected by her previous experiences, especially recent past. It’s nice for long-time readers to have the reference which they can appreciate. In the past few stories, I’ve tried to write it so that it doesn’t make too much difference to new readers. For example, Roger and Kay-I have been in previous stories, yet one doesn’t need to read them to enjoy this one.
Yes, there is a lot of things going on in this chapter. I knew it would be a big chapter but when you list it like that, I realise the story has moved quite long way forward.
I appreciate your patience, Ed. I do think this chapter took too long though – unlike your pictures!
What a wonderful surprise these links are, not only for me, but for every reader. I would like to insert the pictures a bottom of the chapter to be sure everyone sees them with credit to you of course. It’s very much like what I imagined. When creating a machine and a room that doesn’t exist, it can be difficult to describe, so I’m delighted to see my imagination brought to life in your pictures. I love Diana’s expressions! In truth, I think you’ve improved on my idea with the arm attachments, which you have made like solid silver gloves in your depiction – I wish I had thought of that!
Thank you, Ed, I’m truly flattered.
Dear Author
I find the way you build this path very interesting, in which a heroine is always fighting for good, justice and truth, but her adventures and misadventures end up taking an emotional and psychological toll on her personality.
It makes us truly believe in this “reality” that you create with your words, and, for my personal taste, it really pleases me, because I like the adventure, but I like the emotional and psychological aspect that your writing contains in my reading, and thus makes it the stories are very pleasant to read and enjoy, especially in a character who has existed for so long, and who was part of the childhood of so many, as an icon on so many levels.
Perhaps next time, I will write more to you (and fellow commentators) about the possible psychological variables, and how interesting this duality is that is the “power” that someone possesses, leading them to think how invincible they are, and the reality of suddenly, in a confrontation, being subdued and having his power taken away in a moment, leaving him at the mercy of his adversaries, almost without understanding how this would be possible for someone who possesses almost divine power…
I think I ended up doing a rather long tour, but it happens… 🙂
Once again, thank you for your time in writing such good stories, and let’s wait to see what misadventures and dangers Diana will face in the next chapters!
As for my “drawings”, as I told you, it’s a hobby I have, and when I read the last chapter, the idea of images came to me suddenly, and I ended up trying to portray its ideas. (which are really good)
As an amateur Designer, it wasn’t exactly perfect, as it took me two days to make the 3 panels, and creating the expressions takes some time in image research and recreating the layers that make them look truly real. The scenarios are easier, but their description helps a lot! And to give you an example, the image of Wonder Woman on the Australian beach, with the blue uniform, took 10 days to complete!
Now it’s time to wait for the next chapter. And take your time.
And who knows, more discussions will appear here…
Thank you Author!
Hi, Ed, the psychological angle is something which came into my writing much later than it should have as major facet. Basically, I made a bad decision to not go inside Diana’s head — I thought she was a demi-goddess and should be mysterious — which I think weakened many of my stories. It was only when I came back to writing with the Ankara story that I scrapped rule. I do think it’s improved writing and like you I’m interested in the psychological aspects.
I don’t know much about creating digital art. As a creative person I should be potnetially good at it, but any time I’ve tried, I failed miserably. 2 days compared to 10 is quite a difference. All of it is great. I can see why the swimming costume would time though. I was just shocked to see part of my story turned into actual pictures – that was a lovely experience for me – thank you.
By the way
Feel free to use the images however you wish.
Those are amazing, Ed. They capture exactly how panicked and stunned I’d imagine Wonder Woman to be, since this is likely a first for her (I don’t recall on the show, at least, her ever having been forcibly transformed), so she’s likely got the jumble of emotions as she processes that in a split second, and processes that she is probably now in the clutches of someone who either knows her well, or is determined to know her well. Wonderful work.
C.J.
Thank you for your words, especially coming from an author I respect, as I have read her stories, and Sapphire Angel is a very interesting character.
I even had some ideas of possible scenarios to portray… But I would have to ask for permission first.
And I agree with you. The shock of forced transformation is very interesting, and I think it’s what led me to create the panels. The stories we read here are based on the TV series, and we get the idea of the character, and what she looks like, but the Author is taking it to a new level. An excellent level!
Once again, thank you for your kind words, and see you in the next comments… 🙂
If you mean my permission, Ed, by all means, go ahead. I’ve had a reader share his own Sapphire Angel stories, and while not exactly how I would have done it, it is interesting to see someone’s take on it.
That last comment was by me, by the way. Forgot to log in.
# 1 waiting for the next chapter one Sidney related news: after 69 years Fiji defeats Australia in rugby, right now ! Let’s see what will happen in Sidney 😀😀
Hi # 1, good for Fiji! Bad loss for the Aussies though. We’ll have to see – I have started it!
Dear author
While you find some time to continue with your great story about Wonder Woman in Sydney, (no pressure… 🙂 ) I took some time to reread the story, and this image came to me as I was reading, and I realized that you rarely see Wonder Woman in moments when she finds herself in such humiliating situations for a superhero.
This must add some emotional distress to this interesting story, which presents so many physical and emotional challenges for her, and which, perhaps, are a source of more challenges to be overcome.
So, in my free time, I took the liberty of creating another panel illustrating the adventures of the last chapter of the story that you published.
know that you have loyal fans, who appreciate your work, and we are still here, grateful for her efforts!
Thank you Author!

# 1 thanks Ed , unfortunately deviantart is blocked by my system, can the Author or someone be lease copy the image in this forum section. Btw: great art ! Thanks
I’l place the pic in the chapter, # 1. I think Ed is happy for me to do this.
Hi Ed,
I’ve just seen your post, as I came here to upload the new chapter for tomorrow. For a minute, I thought your fantastic new picture looked like it could be from the next chapter! Then I realised you were depicting Wonder Woman’s tripping over in chapter 5. It’s a great image. Very realistic. I’m glad my story is inspiring you to make art. I’m a lucky and privileged writer.
I can promise there are more challenges for Wonder Woman yet in this story. Whether you wish to illustrate them, of course, is entirely up to you. I and the small group of readers who come here very much appreciate everything you do.
Thank you, Ed.
# 1 thanks Ed, thanks Author !
