Chapter Two: Choices
Eve woke up the next morning and put on her mother's outfit instead of her usual one. She quickly left her hut, got on Argo and rode her to the temple. When she got there she noticed Ares waiting for her and standing beside him was a young man.
"You look just like your mother." said Ares when Eve came up to him
"Save the compliments Ares, I'm here on buisness." said Eve
"Ah yes you are here to convince me to give Evander back and to stop attacking the Amazons." said Ares "I want something in return."
"What would that be?"
"You as my queen." said Ares
"You're delusional, I will not go against my teachings and become a goddess for you." said Eve
"Then Evander stays with me and the Amazons die." said Ares
"I won't do it."
"You would have eternity to make up for your past mistakes."
"Past mistakes caused by you."
"Can't put all the blame on me, Xena is the one that put herself in that sleep."
"I can make up for what I have done as a mortal."
"I can bring Joxer and your mother back."
"What?"
"Marry me, become my goddess and together we can bring both Joxer and your mother back from the dead."
"I...I'll do it."
"Good, take Evander back with you and I will come and get you tonight for us to be married in front of the Fates."
"All right, come on Evander."
Eve and Evander rode Argo back to the Amazon village while Eve was wondering if what she had done was right.
"Evander don't tell anyone what happend in the Temple." said Eve
"All right."
"Your mother is in that tent." said Eve as she pointed to Nemises tent
"I see you got Evander back." said Hercules as he came up behind Eve while Evander walked away
"Yes"
"I know Ares Eve, better than you do. What did he ask for in return?" asked Hercules
"Nothing." said Eve as she tried to walk away from Hercules
"Don't lie to me, I can help you." said Hercules
"Me, he asked for me." said Eve before she ran towards the nearby river
"Oh no." said Hercules as he went off in search of Gabrielle
Later that night Eve still hadn't come back and everyone was worried about her, including Virgil. When all most everyone was asleep Aphrodite and Eve appeared before them and sat down. Aphrodite and Eve wore similar pink outfits as they looked at the others.
"Hello little bro." said Aphrodite to Hercules
"Hi." was all Eve said
"So are you a goddess?" asked Gabrielle
"Yes, and Ares' wife." said Eve as she looked at the ground
"You can break up then." said Virgil
"She was married in front of the fates, she can only do it was Ares' permission." said Aphrodite
"Which he won't give." said Hercules
"There is a small chance that he will." said Eve "I have to go Ares will start to wonder where I am. I'll see you soon."
With that said both Eve and Aphrodite dissappeard heading back to Mount Olympus.
