Disclaimer: I don't own Xena or any of the Xena characters. This is my first XENA fic. So give me a break. I'm the newbie.


Her hand reached up and grabbed the edge of the floor and hoisted herself from the endless cavern. She stood……..covered in dust. Her brown eyes scanned the all to familiar sight before her. But something was missing.

She felt no presence of her kind. She no longer sensed her family.

Her eyes scanned Mount Olympus. The once godly home that shown with power and beauty…………..now cold and empty.

She walked into the great hall and turned to stare at the thrown. The one Zeus had ruled from.

She scanned the area. Blood stained the stone floors. A dead corpse lined the hall. She would recognize the armor anywhere. Her eyes became cold like the great halls that were Olympus. Her head turned and her eyes shown with the anger…….rage………hate that boiled with in.

"Someone will pay." She whispered with no emotion in her voice. The sound was terrifying.


Gabrielle walked among the Egyptian people as the sun shined high in the sky. Her senses were alert. Someone was was watching her. She could tell.

'Gabrielle there's three to your right and five to...' Xena tried to warn her. But before Xena could even spit out the warning Gabrielle was already fighting against two thugs that had come from the front. She quickly disarmed and had them flat on their backs before theten from her rear came within five feet of her.

She turned and threw the chackram at the men cutting their swords, leaving them with less than half a blade. The chackram returned to her and she quickly hooked it into her belt. She did a back flip and spun so her sais came in contact with the neck of one of the men retreating.

The scared man looked at her with scared brown eyes.

Her blue green eyes flashed with something dangerous in them as she held her deadly weapon to his neck.

"Who sent you?" She asked as she let her sai dig into his neck just a little.

The man shook his head.

"Don't know. Bounty on you. 500 dinars for your head." The man said as fast as he could.

Gabrielle considered a moment and then let him go, taking away the pressure that held her sai's tip into the man's neck.

As soon as the sai was retreating the man swiftly moved away and began to run for his life.

Xena stood behind Gabrielle, as they both took in the information.

"He was a Greek bounty hunter Gabrielle. And if he was from Greece, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to Egypt for you...somethings wrong Gabrielle I can feel it. Why would he risk his life for only 500 dinars?" Xena said to Gabrielle.

Gabrielle considered Xena's question.

She had been traveling in Africa for over 5 years now. Her traveling had led her back to Egypt after all this time.

She turned her head to look at Xena.

Xena just smiled and stared right back at her. Someone walked right through her and Gabrielle had the urge to laugh and scream at the same time.

It had not been easy to come to terms with Xena's death. Her spirit was always with Gabrielle no matter where she went. When she would talk to Xena out loud people would stare at her as if she were crazy.

Sometimes she felt she was.

"It's time to go back home." Gabrielle said out loud.

After all of this time traveling it was time it was time to return to the place of her heritage.

Turning to watch the sun set, she knew in some way, that whatever awaited for her back in Greece...fate would be on her side.

Unfortunately...she could never imagine what fate had in store for her.
