Gabrielle: Warrior Princess
Chapter 3
"What?" Gabrielle asked. Xena smiled again, her wings folded behind her back.
"You're the new warrior princess." Xena replied. Before me, there had to have been warrior princesses. You take my place now. Only if you want to."
"Xena, I want to make you proud." Gabrielle declared.
"I've been proud of you for years." Xena said. "I'm sorry I didn't show it much."
"Xena, you will always be remembered. I will honor your name, your title, your legacy." Gabrielle declared. In an instant, Xena was gone, and Gabrielle sat alone in the field, her horse grazing nearby.
"I sing of Xena, brave warrior princess. Her mighty slaughters gave her the name, destroyer of nations, her courage, bravery, friendship, and compassion gave her the title warrior princess, most of all, friend, mother, soulmate." Gabrielle scribed. She felt weak, sick. Her stomach lurched heavily. She fell to her knees and vomited. She hadn't vomited since she'd seen Xena's headless, naked, corpse strung up, arrows stuck in her.
Gabrielle was remembering the feeling of wrapping Xena up and taking her to the pyre, burning her best friend with the hope she'd come back to her. But things went terribly wrong, and now Xena could never come back.
A few more days passed, and Gabrielle had been by herself for a while. She'd seen no one. Nobody seemed to be around these days. Gabrielle finally spotted a village up a few miles.
"Midnight, yah!" Gabrielle exclaimed. Midnight galloped up to the village, and Gabrielle put her in a stable.
In heaven, Xena faced Eli. She smiled at him, he smiled at her.
"Eli. It's been awhile." She said.
"Yes Xena. Heaven is lucky to have you. Your soul was in terrible danger. But you're here now." Eli said.
"When am I to be reincarnated?" Xena asked.
"When your time comes. Gabrielle . . ." Eli started.
"What about Gabrielle?" Xena asked.
"I've said too much." Eli said. "Now, go Xena, there is much preparation to be done before you are reincarnated. First, you must choose which body you will be born into. You must decide. You will be born to a mother. Your soul will be in that child, now you just have to choose."
"I understand." Xena said. She knew exactly who her mother would be. She knew who she was going to be. The child had not been created yet. Xena knew it'd been done once, she just had to do it this time. She had to wait.
