Paths of Friendship
Part 1
Dawn sat on my lap as I rode my new horse, Midnight. Dawn was two years old, and Xena's twins, Gabriel and Ivy were a year old now. They had very short, dark black hair and ice blue eyes.
Dawn's hair was growing longer and it was still as red as ever, and her eyes were a beautiful emerald green. She wore a pretty little white dress, much like what she used to wear after she was born, but this was, of course, bigger. She wore a lacy bonnet that tied under her chin. It was pure white, and it kept the sun out of her eyes.
Gabriel wore a little blue shirt and blue trousers that he was comfortable in. He wore a blue hat to shield him from the sun as well.
Ivy wore a cute little green dress with a bonnet that tied under the chin as well. Xena liked to dress her up in that.
Xena and I, over the past year, had traveled to Chin to retrieve a sacred emerald, traveled to the Land of Indus to rescue a kidnapped princess, headed to the Norselands to pay a visit to the Norse god Oden to return the golden apples to him, which our very own Autolycus had taken.
We did all of this with the children in tow. We would occasionally leave them with my mother and father and sister or with Xena's mother. We also visited Solan in Athens. He was thriving as a bard and he even had a story published in the Athens Times, the daily scroll.
Xena and I had focused on our children more than our friendship, but we were still the best of friends. We would try to take time out of our busy day, after the children were asleep, to just sit and talk, but it really never worked out because one of the three sleepy babies would start crying and we wouldn't get to finish a conversation.
My blonde hair was still kept short, I liked it much better that way. Xena still wore her dark hair long, it hung down her back. She kept it trimmed once a month, just to make sure that it didn't get completely ridiculous to manage.
I looked over at Xena who was riding Argo and holding Ivy on her lap as Gabriel was asleep in the carrier that Xena wore on her back. We were heading towards Britania. We heard of an evil, an evil that was named Dahak, who was trying to rule. Xena and I were ready to jump into action, to kick ass, and to save the world, like usual.
