Chapter 216
.
Hope helped transport some refugees to Antarctica as a show of good faith. She also gave the heroes a possible location for where Phoebe's son might be located. Hope was suppossed to be the daughter of darkness itself, Phoebe's son was suppossed to have a similar role, thus they were able to sense each other at times. Hope also got to briefly meet Andrew, the planned antichrist of his own world. It was an interesting meeting.
.
Hope: How were you able to resist Evil?
Andrew: I had a good mother, some true friends, and free will.
Hope: I didn't have any of that. If there was ever the chance for me to do good, Xena forced Gabrielle to abandon me. Thus I was raised by Dahak's followers, turned Evil.
Andrew: Do you feel any love?
Hope: Yes, for my mother, and my son.
Andrew: Where is your son now?
Hope: He fights in Caesar's army, helps expand his territory. Should he fall I have the power to get him out of the Lake of fire.
Andrew: So you all just keep fighting for all eternity? Definitely sounds like Hell to me.
Hope: Like I said, we don't have free will.
Andrew: I don't believe that. If it were true I would have inherited my father's evil, not just his eyes. If I can resist Evil so can you.
Hope: What if it's too late for me.
Andrew: If this whole thing has taught me just one thing, it's that it's never too late. You, Caesar, even Ares can redeem yourselves, you just have to fight for it. Maybe you won't make the cut to get into Heaven this time, but if Good wins the final battle you'll all be in a spiritual coma. You'll be reborn and have a chance at doing better. Isn't that better than an eternity of fighting and scheming. Don't you want a better life for your child?
Hope: Yes, I do.
Andrew: Than help fight to make this universe a better place, for everyone.
