A/N: I've had to make some modifications and this story doesn't exactly follow the episodes 'Adventures in the Sin Trade' Ep 1&2, but go with it. I'm also going to be introducing the Murthrais insident even though this takes place during the ZEO era, but hey, that's the fun of an AU.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews, both on fanfiction, and via phone and YIM.

Kimberly stared up at the blonde, "M--mom!" She stuttered, forcing herself up, "I... mom..." She stared, her mother looked exactly like she remembered, wavy blonde locks, deep brown eyes, hands that were strong with a sword but caring and gentle when need be.

"Who are you?" Cyane asked and Kimberly felt her heart shatter, her own mother didn't remember her.

-

Cyane watched the brunette's feature's drop at her question and look away, looking crushed; Cyane's brows furrowed and studied the newcomer closely, she didn't look familiar, but she felt extremely familiar. She had red-brown hair that ended at the middle of her back, elegant features, doe brown eyes and a well muscled body. Her attire was confusing, stiff blue pants, a shirt that was held up by two straps on her shoulders and bare feet.

"Why are you calling me mom?" Cyane questioned and the brunette's eyes watered, her bottom lip trembled and Cyane's eyes widened in realization, she had seen that exact look from her daughter centuries ago, "Kimberly?" She breathed, staring at her daughter who had blossomed from a short, confusing girl into a strong, confident, beautiful, young woman.

Kimberly lifted her eyes from the ground and looked her dead in the eye, her bottom lip was still trembling and a few tears had made their way down her cheeks. Cyane moved forward tentatively and pulled her into her arms, holding her close and tight, not wanting to let go of her.

"Mom..." Kimberly sobbed in her arms and Cyane tightened her arms around her eldest daughter, both of them sinking to the ground.

"It's okay..." Cyane smiled tearfully, "It's okay my sweet one." She breathed, kissing the top of Kimberly's head, "Gods I've waited so long to hold you safe in my arms again."

Kimberly pressed her head against Cyane's shoulder, "I'm not dead... Alex is... I came here to see if she's here..." She whispered and Cyane tightened her grip again.

"I haven't seen anyone new here... just our tribe..."

Kimberly shook her head, "She's here... I can feel her... and Alti." Cyane stiffened.

"Alti here?"

"I can feel them." She whispered, "We need to find her... Alti's hurting her..." Kimberly whispered.

-Reality-

"Should we move her?" Trini whispered to Jason who looked at Katherine.

"She said not too..." Katherine mumbled, running her fingers through Kimberly's dark locks, "Under no circumstances she can't be moved."

Katherine wiped the tears away from Kimberly's cheeks and Kimberly's brow furrowed, "Is it possible to wake her up?" Billy asked curiously.

"Only if she let's go of the dagger." She pointed to the dagger clutched in Kimberly's fingers.

Alex struggled with Alti who was attempting to stab her, she managed to throw the Shamaness off of her and leapt into the air, thankful for being a 1st degree Chih for the first time in her life. She narrowed her eyes at the woman who leapt after her, literally flying through the air, Alex focused on attacking the murdering Shaman and kept her on the defensive, she may be dead, but she wasn't going to let Alti continue to hurt her.

"Alexandra... you really shouldn't try to beat your teacher." Alti sneered and Alex narrowed her eyes, attacking with a fury of blows, rage taking over her soul.

"You're the reason I had to spend almost 11 years apart from my sister, loose out on being with my mother and not to mention that little reason of me being dead!" She bellowed the last bit angrily and attacked the Shaman, grumbling when she disappeared, "Cheat..." She growled and stomped off, holding a dead tree branch in one hand in case she came across Alti again.

-

Kimberly listened intently to her mother, "Xena came for her friend and got her... we've been stuck here for centuries because we don't have the word to get into the afterlife... nothing's stronger than love." She breathed and looked at Kimberly looked at her.

Kimberly looked at her mom, "Maybe... no one in the tribe is meant to move on yet... maybe you still have something you need to do?" She suggested as they walked along the main river, she saw a figure in the distance and ran towards it, nearly colliding with Alex who was breathing hard, "Alex!" She pulled her into a hug and Alex hugged her back.

"Alti. Here." Alex panted and Cyane straightened, looking around quickly, "Mom?" She asked, still out of breath.

Cyane smiled and pulled her close to her, hugging her tightly, "Gods... you've grown..."

Alex grinned lopsidedly at her, "Aye... an' you 'aven't." Alex breathed and rested her head against her mom's shoulder.

"Are you..." Cyane struggled with the right words.

"Dead as a door nail." Alex smiled, "Alti slashed me throat." She muttered haughtily.

-Olympus-

"They are my Amazon's father. They didn't deserve to die!" Artemis exclaimed, looking at Zeus, "They deserve a second chance. They're warriors."

Zeus sighed, his daughter had been defending this case to him every year, demanding that the Northern Amazon's be given a second chance at life, and here it was 2006... over 2100 years since the Northern Tribe had been murdered, and she was still arguing with him.

"Please father." She begged, and he reprimanded himself for looking at her, she had to give him the look that said 'please daddy, I'm your favorite daughter'.

A/N: That last bit is mostly a teaser for the next chapter, but I figured... what the heck... it works with it.

A/N 2: Need a beta...

A/N 3: Currently being co-writen with my alter-ego and best friend who wishes to remain unnamed cos' she's not a member of Her reasoning for coming to my aide... I'm having trouble writing Alex... so what the heck... why not have the person she's based on write her?

TBC!
