Tsuki Kizuato Senshi
Summary: Xena tosses Gabrielle off the cliff in "Bitter Suite" in a lust for revenge, and this killed the innocent bard that she secretly loved. Years later, she would stare down the harden eyes of a warrior that has immense feelings towards the Warrior Princess.
Chapter 1: The Toss of Consequence
A horse was galloping across the green fields with her rider on top of her making loud war cries. Behind the mare was a female body in now dirty/bloody white robes being hastily dragged across the valley by the horse and rider.
The rider was a dominant Warrior Princess extracting revenge for her son by taking it out on the one person who caused it to happen. She did not care for anything else but sorrow she had for her lost son and the destruction of the bard who was being drag behind the warrior's horse.
After a long journey across the Greek countryside the story teller was feeling pain in every part of her body and was dropping in and out of consciousness. This female was feeling the grip of fear all around her not knowing whether she would survive this torture. She hoped that the warrior's lust for revenge wouldn't mean the end of her life.
The mare neared an edge of a cliff which caught the attention of the vengeful rider. The warrior slowed down and looked over the edge of the cliff. A sadistic grin grew across her face as she turned around and grabbed the bloody person she used to call friend, and used to care for more deeply than she ever admitted, off of the ground. The stronger woman carried the Amazon Queen towards the edge of the cliff and then lifted her up above her shoulders.
The smaller woman was just starting to regain some form of consciousness and felt the pain she had before. With her own eyes she saw the edge of the cliff before her and felt strong but soft hands on her back. Suddenly she realized what she was happening, even though she did not believe it. The queen hoped that her friend and person she had long since been deeply infatuated with would not commit this act, since she was too weak from being dragged to do anything to protect herself.
The Warrior belted out loudly so the whole world could hear her victory, "Vengeance!"
Seconds later, she tossed the smaller woman off the cliff and towards the jagged rocks below. As woman in leather watch the battered body fall, she caught one final glimpse of the innocent and gentle green eyes that she had known to love.
Shock was ripping through her body as decent began, she could not believe that the person she trusted the most would do this. The sovereign felt and instant feeling of betrayal as her plunge continued downward. She had given up everything for the woman above her; her family, her friends, her dreams being a great bard, her blood innocence, and her daughter. For what, to be killed for her relatively small mistake compared to her former companion's many horrible actions against thousands. The bard saw the end nearing quickly as her face turned towards the conclusion of her fall. The woman felt ultimate anger for her former friend as her mind screamed 'I hate you Xena!' Suddenly, the blond haired woman felt massive pain around her right eye and suddenly everything went black.
The warrior turned around before the body hit the rocks, and felt a strong sense of pride in her vengeful actions as heard a large cracking noise from the body hitting the sharp rocks. With a vicious smile, she settled on her trusty mare and started to ride towards anyplace that was away from the cliff.
Not too long after she started to venture away from the sea, she immediately saw an image of the bard in her head. She saw the short queen in all her great beauty with the loving smile on her pure face. The Warrior Princess quickly shook her head to get rid of this thought as she believed at the moment that she had gotten her pleasurable justice. Little did she know that this feeling would soon change.
(XWP)
In a far distant land where sun would normally begin its rise upon the world, an older man sat near a lake with many cherry blossoms around him. The moon was in its crescent form above the lake as the night time wind was softly blowing on the elder's face. This timeworn man was wearing some sort of ceremonial robes and had just completed a ritual for some intent. This man sat quietly, waiting for a positive effect from this ritual.
There was a flash of light in front of him and the man looked up to see what was before him. He instantly saw beaten, bloodied female body floating towards him. The man got up to inspect the person that now was lying on the shore. He quickly noticed total amount of damage before him, and was pleased to see the person still alive. He made note that while small and broken the person had a strong will to survive, and the undeveloped muscles showed that there was an untapped ocean of strength in her body. The man knew that his special abilities would be able to heal a majority of the damage the body had taken.
The elder used forsaken powers to stare into the soul of the person before him and grinned deeply as he felt that the ritual was very successful. What he saw was a woman whose soul was lost and confused between the sides of good and evil. A woman who had feelings of betrayal and hatred towards a single person. A woman who had a warrior's mind that was young and still as raw as a wet piece of clay. Yes, this woman was everything he had hoped.
The only thing that could become a problem was this strong affectionate love for the betrayer he sensed in her heart, but he doubted that would matter since the betrayer was on the other side of the world right now and only need two summers to create the most feared warrior the world had ever seen. He put the body on a board near him to begin healing her broken bones with some dark magic. The elder man had a feeling of great success that his dark ambitions were about to be truly realized with the help from this blond by the name of Gabrielle.
AN (Very Important That You Read):
Hi, my name is Der Schatten and I have written a couple of modest fanfics in my since I started in 2011. However, I am new to Xena stories because I recently got hooked on the show. So please take pity on me, as I am not a professional Xena fan and might miss one or two things from the show that most of you would be able remember without hesitation. Don't judge me too harshly on my writing because I am just a simple amateur writer doing this for fun.
These ANs are normal for me and I usually do this to thank the readers and help fill in anything that needs clearing up.
About this story, I want to for warn you all quickly that because of this moment several things will be changed or be omitted from the main Xena cannon that we all love. If the story does not show you these changes, I will mention these in ANs the story progresses. Two things thing I will quickly mention; one, Xena never went to Jappa in this story; two, Gabrielle's personality and actions will get very dark at points in this story. If this is going to make or break your reading experience I suggest you consider whether to continue reading/following this story now.
I am horrible at consistently updating a mutlichaper story at regular intervals, so you may see this story have two or three updates done within a weeks' span, while at other times it may take me a month to update (more often the latter). Please, bear with me as I also have a life like the rest of you and have to do other things.
Thank you for reading this far.
Keep on reading,
Der Schatten
