Summary and Author's Note –

I've always wanted to know why Xena & Gabrielle weren't involved in the Death of Iolaus, and the Dahak storyline in Hercules story arc. This is my version.

Hi Everyone!

For those of you who have read this (my first) story here on thank you so much! For those who are currently reading this story, I am very sorry for taking it down. Unfortunately, as I just deleted this, also I forgot to save all the wonderful reviews! Hopefully I still have some fans out there! As I've said, this was my first story, and I wrote it a number of years ago.

Rereading it recently, I realized it is in desperate need of an upgrade (in more ways than one.) I'd like to thank the wonderful author Mike Taurguss for originally helping me (also years ago) with working to revamp this story. He is a great writer, and I highly recommend his stories. Take a look at his works here on the website.

Anyway, for those of you who are currently reading, or have read this story previously, and did enjoy it for what it was, it is high time for me to rewrite it. So far it is much different (and much better written in my opinion from what it originally was) and what I planned out.

I hope you all enjoy the new version, and I still have the original work, so once the new version is up and complete, I will repost the old version. I will also keep the same title with an upgrade for the new version.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
