Varia had her hands on her hips and a cross look on her face, "It's not just my decision, we have a Council of Queens-" She trailed off, "I had to dissuade them from from naming you the Queen of all Queens. This is asking a lo-"
Xena shook her head and interrupted Varia, "It means fighting and for a good reason." She continued under her breath, "for once."
Varia glanced over at the two women and the box they had with them. "Keep it here for a bit, then take it back south?"
"That's the plan."
"And you two?"
Xena opened her mouth, but Gabrielle was the one who answered. "We're going to move on, but, we'll be back." She glanced around. "This is our home."
Varia's jaw worked for a while and then she nodded, "I'll take it to the council and- they'll probably agree. Some are getting restless. Will you stay tonight? Our sisters would love it."
Gabrielle nodded, "We're in no rush. As for Hafiz and Shamira, I think you'll be surprised how well they fit in here."
Varia didn't look convinced, "We'll see."
Hafiz watched Gabrielle, Xena and the Amazon talk. Shamira wasn't happy, "We should go now."
Hafiz shook her head, "You know that there are Horus guards still out there just waiting to get their hands on the DHD. We stay here and then-"
"Put it back where we found it?"
Hafiz smiled, "It will be the last place any of the Goa'uld will look for it. And, we, our daughters and," Hafiz looked around at the Amazons in the center of the village, "and the daughters of the Amazon Nation will be there to watch over it."
