By the fourth month Sabrina was on her way to becoming a toddler. Everything and anything she saw, she would try to grab. Having Sabrina with her Xena was a joy, but it did mean that Sabrina would constantly be in harms way. This became painfully true one afternoon. A ship of sailors had some how angered Poseidon, who then wrecked their ship, sending the sailors floating in the deep blue sea left to die. Until other ship appeared, Xena along with Gabrielle, Eve and Sabrina were on this ship, together with some others. Seeing the sailors struggling in the water, Xena and the others helped them on board, not knowing that Poseidon was after them. Poseidon then appeared before the ship and demanded the sailors from the sunken ship, as usual Xena refused to give up the sailors. So Poseidon created an enormous storm to cause the ship to crash.
However the sailors did have something that they could use against Poseidon. One of the sailors had stolen a ruby from Poseidon which he used to keep his sea creatures at bay. The ruby had the power to destroy any creature from the sea, but when used against Poseidon it would only weaken him. Sabrina had over heard the sailors planning to use the ruby against Poseidon. The sailors had told Xena about their idea, but she refused to use it, so the sailors decided to use it anyway. Sabrina didn't want them to hurt Poseidon, so when one the sailors was about to throw the ruby at Poseidon, she took a small block of wood and rammed it into the sailors foot. Causing him to drop the ruby.
Sabrina then grabbed the ruby, but then all of a sudden the ship was hit with a gigantic wave. The wave knocked Sabrina into the water. With all the commotion, no one had noticed that Sabrina was gone. It wasn't until Eve went looking for Sabrina, that she realized that Sabrina must of fallen into the water. Eve quickly ran to her mother and told what had happened. Xena then jumped into the water trying to find her daughter before it was to late. The storm had wrecked the ship, and the water had washed the people up on the sand. Eve and Gabrielle got up to find no sign of Xena or Sabrina, they began franticly searching for them. Then they saw as Xena submerged from the water with Sabrina's lifeless body in her arms. Xena quickly set Sabrina's body on the sand and began trying to resuscitate her. Tears began filling Xena's eyes as she could feel Sabrina slipping away.
Poseidon then appeared before them.
"What a foolish child" Poseidon said, laughing.
"Foolish? The only foolish thing she ever did was trying to protect your sorry ass" Gabrielle replied, with tears running down her face.
"What are you talking about?" Poseidon asked, with confusion in his voice.
"She fell in the water trying to grab your ruby away from one of the sailors, who were planning on using it against you" Eve answered, with her eyes red with tears.
"Impossible, why would she ever do that?" Poseidon asked, again confused.
"She did it because no matter how much you hated her, she still loved you and didn't want to see you get hurt" Xena answered, with anger boiling inside of her.
"What have I done?" Poseidon asked him self, as he became disgusted with his actions.
Poseidon then called upon Apollo, whom had the power to heal.
"You called for me Poseidon" Apollo said, as he appeared.
"It's Sabrina, she needs your healing power" Poseidon replied.
"What happened?" Apollo asked, shocked to see the motionless body of Sabrina in front of him.
"One of Poseidon's waves knocked her into the water, I wasn't able to reach her in time" Xena answered, still in tears.
"Can you help her?" Poseidon asked, looking concerned.
"I think I'll be able to" Apollo answered.
Apollo then kneeled down beside Sabrina and placed his right hand on her forehead. Then suddenly an orange light began passing through Apollo's hand and onto Sabrina's forehead. After a few seconds the light had faded, Apollo removed his hand as Sabrina started coughing out water. Xena quickly sat her up, and when she had stopped coughing, Xena wrapped her arms around her daughter and held her close. Gabrielle, Eve, and Apollo then also hugged her.
Poseidon was happy to see that Sabrina was okay, but still felt bad about the way he had treated her. So he turned his back and began disappearing into the water, but then he heard someone call out his name. Poseidon then turned around.
"Uncle Poseidy" Sabrina said, as she stared to run towards the water.
"Feeling better?" Poseidon asked.
"Yeah" Sabrina replied.
"I have to go now okay, bye" Poseidon said.
"Can I come visit you sometime" Sabrina asked.
"I'm sorry but you can't, I doubt if you mom likes the idea of you being around me" Poseidon answered.
"Why?" Sabrina asked, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Sabrina I've gone some not so good things to you and your mother, I don't deserve to be in your presence" Poseidon said.
"Well if you ask me that sounds like an apology" Xena said.
"I guess it is" Poseidon replied.
"I think we can give him a chance" Gabrielle said.
"It would be nice for Sabrina to send sometime with her godfather" Xena said.
"Do you really mean that?" Poseidon asked, with a hint of joy in his voice.
"Just as long as you promise to keep her safe" Xena answered.
"I swear to it" Poseidon replied.
"Yes" Sabrina said, with a smile.
Since that day Poseidon has kept his promise. Sabrina frequently visits him, usually coming back with a gift or two.
It seemed that Sabrina was charming the hearts of everyone, well everyone except for Zeus. Who not only despised Sabrina but her parents as well. In Zeus' eyes Ares was making a big mistake being with Xena. From the time when Sabrina was born Ares has been going easy on the wars, now more than ever there was peace, and that didn't settle too well with Zeus. Luckily the Elements were always keeping a watchful eye on Zeus, making sure he didn't try to hurt Xena or her family.
