Flash! All I could see were stars for a moment, before my eyes cleared. Then things started to clear up. I saw Cassie, who suddenly burst into tears. Jake, eyes red from crying. Ax, looking the same as ever... and Tobias running towards me in his human form, one tear rolling down his cheek. As he reached me, he embraced me so tight I could hardly breathe, and before I could say a word kissed me.
"Well, Xena's back..." whispered Marco behind my back, as we broke apart. Everyone crowds around me, as I started to remember where I was supposed to be... THE BLADE SHIP! Only, this couldn't be the blade ship. The other strange thing was that everyone looked so much older, except that this place was so odd, I didn't take notice to that.
"Where are we?" I asked, getting annoyed. This was so odd, I thought that I was suppose to be on the blade ship, about to be killed by a polar bear. I needed some answers, and I needed them NOW!
"Well, I guess we have some explaining to do." Said Cassie, as she wiped away her tears. "You see, this is three years after you... well, died."
"Wait, if I'm dead, then are all of you...." I started, but Jake shook his head.
"At least not yet," Jake continued. "but you see, the Ellimist has given us a second chance. Crayak took over Ax's body, and broke some rule in their game, so the Ellimist could break the rules once. He's given us a second chance."
At this, Ax and I were completely at a loss, so they went over the whole thing again. Basically, we won the war, but I died. They were all living happily, until Ax dissapeared, and so the Ellimist saw his chance to save us, and has struck a deal. We need to capture the Ellimist's Orb, and Crayak's staff, or kill all of our "twins." Me personally, I'd go for killing our twins, but that's just me.
As we look around, we see that this world is divided in half. On one side, there's blue skys, with sun, beautiful waterfalls, and plants and animals all over the place. On the other side, there's dark stormy skies, with a reddish bronze color instead of the usual blue. There are odd looking animals out there, with large theeth, and poisonous looking plants.
"Didn't the Ellimist say something about his side's animals helping us, and Crayak's animals harming us, and misleading?" asked Marco.
"Something like that..." replied Jake.
"Well," I said, knowing what we had to do... "LET'S DO IT!"
