One of the girls was trying to use brute strength, but the other was clever and used the first's own momentum against her to bring her down. The older amazon laughed, separated the two and had them ready again.

"Oh, that was clever of her!" said Levi.  "So do you all train in that kind of fighting?"

"Yes, it is an important part of being an amazon," Diana said. "Making sure dangerous monsters don't escape into Man's World."

"Oh, do you have a lot of those here?" Levi asked, surprised.  "There are still plenty of them away from the island..."

"There are gateways to several realms here," Diana said. "Occasionally they seem to let out their denizens."

"Well, I can see why that makes you strong," said Levi.  "...the big monsters in the ocean mostly spend their time sleeping, which is just as well.  It wouldn't take long for them to outstrip their food supply if they were active all the time."

"Well, if you or Arthur ever need a hand with them," Diana said. "We'd be ready."

"Thank you," said Levi.  "...so far, I'm trying to discourage them from fighting, figuring out how to keep them asleep longer, that kind of thing.  It's risky, but the potential for collateral damage is much higher than most people realize in a sea battle."

"Understandable, peaceful solutions should always be preferred," Diana said.

"Yes," said Levi.  "Especially with the potential scale of the damage involved."

"I agree," Diana said.

"So what's interesting to see here?" Levi asked.  "I'm certainly going to trust your judgment."

"We do have one of the oldest libraries in existence and the oldest still active," Diana said. "There is our amphitheatre and temples as well."

"Oh!" said Levi.  "It's wonderful!  I want to see it all!  ...Where should we start?"

"It's your choice. You are the guest after all," Diana said.

"Why don't we try a temple?" asked Levi.  "I don't normally deal with that kind of thing, so I'm very curious."

"Very well," Diana said and led you to a large building made out of flawless white marble. Impressive statues of what must be various goddess stood around the building.

Levi looked around, admiring the architecture.  She wasn't really familiar with this kind of religious display, but it was certainly impressive!  She vaguely wondered if the Amazons had some kind of priesthood... it seemed less necessary for them.

"Impressive, isn't it?" Diana asked.

"It really is!" said Levi.  "So, I know that Amazons are close to their goddess... do you see signs from her often?"

She was a bit vague on the exact theology, but it was something like that, wasn't it?

"If one knows where to look," Diana said. "It helps that I have met them."

"...is that 'Them' plural, or gender-neutral?" Levi asked.  It might be either one.  Mythology was not her strong suit.

"Mostly plural, there are a couple who are gender-neutral," Diana said. "I also meant the Greek ones."

"That must be an amazing experience," said Levi.  "I have things that I could compare it to, but they probably aren't the same at all."

"I suppose it's easier to believe in them when you can meet them," Diana said.
