Chapter: 14

Callisto and Goku continued on into the Labyrinths.

"You're not living up to my expectations." Callisto said smiling while she fiddled with her hair. "I imagined you'd spend the day trying to convince me that I can change like the beloved Xena."

"Xena changed because she wanted to."

Callisto turned quickly to him. "Did she now? You know she watched me die." She chuckles. "It's ironic, you know I mean, you would've joined me in bringing her down."

"Wrong. Our definitions of justice aren't the same."

"Oh, true. That's very true. I believe she deserves to die a very slow and painful death."

Goku stops to look her dead in the eyes. "Vengeance isn't justice. If you understood that, maybe you'd find peace."

She smiled. "Peace?" She looked at him. "Peace? I dreamed of peace." She closed her eyes, "I imagined it. Let me die so I can find it. Tartarus should've been a welcome change." Then her peaceful expression changed into rage as she opened her eyes. "Instead, I learned the true meaning of torture trapped in my hatred, with nothing to do."

"Lady, immortality won't solve your problem." Goku said as he walks on.

Callisto hissed at his retreating form.
