Now On with the story:
Chapter 1
Xena and Gabrielle were walking along the road on the way to the Amazon village. It had been a while since they visited their tribe.
" I wonder how the tribes' doing.", said Gabrielle
" I'm sure they're fine, love.", said Xena, " With Ephiny as Regent, you know they would send for us if they were having trouble."
" I know ", Gabrielle sighed, " I just worry sometimes."
" We'll you'll know for sure in less than a quarter candlema-", Xena stopped.
Gabrielle tensed as she looked at Xena
" Showyourself Ares ", said Xena crossly.
And show himself he did, as a flash of blue light brought the God of War a few feet ahead of our heroic pair.
" I still don't know how you do that ", said Ares with a smirk, " But I'm not here to interview you on one of your many skills.
" Then what are you here for? " asked the bored warrior. She had had enough of this God to last a few lifetimes.
" Well ", the War God began, " I found a rather intresting spell. It's supposed to bring a person's more natural instincts to the surface, and the person will act on their true desires. "
" What does that have to do with us? ", questioned the bard warily. She had a bad felling about this.
The God of War laughed at the bard's question and then spoke.
" Well blondie, I'm gonna cast this spell on Xena ", he turned to the mentioned warrior and directed the rest of his sentence to her, " and watch the Destroyer of Nations go on a rampage in my name! "
" If this spell brings the true person out, it won't be the Destroyer of Nations. Xena is a good person at heart, she's proved that more times than I can count. "
" We'll see, blondie "
The God of War formed a ball of green light in his hand and aimed at the Warrior Princess.
" Come find me when your ready for your army Xena, I'll be waiting ", said Ares
And with that the God of War threw the ball at the warrior and disappeared in a flash of blue light. The force of the spell-ball knocked the warrior back. Xena was enveloped by a white light, and Gabrielle ran to her sreaming, " Xena! ".
The lighted faded when Gabrielle reached her beloveded, and revealed..
A large, black dog. With blue eyes.
Xena's eyes!
" Gabrielle ! ", said the dog.
And Xena's voice.
