Chapter 3

Sorry it took so long to update.Thanks for the great reviews,for my first fan fic I am pleased with the great reviews.

Raki Xenas son: Thank you. Gabrielle will be running into a few surprising people.And I can tell you that Ares might have some part in this story.

Gabrielle rode Vetos along the dirt path. She had been traveling towards Amphipolis without her army for a few days now.She didn't care;they chose to disobey her,so they paid the price. Gabrielle had changed her mind and decided to head for Amphipolis.As she made her way,she saw many things that reminded her of the past. After Xena's death Gabrielle had become a monster,and she liked it.She smiled,remembering every detail…

-Saterian village,near Mount Olympus,2 years ago-

Gabrielle rode Vetos,slashing people's chests,throats,eyes,bodies as she rode along the paths of one of the Saterian villages. Satera,the Sorceress who was believed to have taken the powers of a few gods had gathered followers,who formed villages along the base of Mount Olympus. They became Saterians,fighters for the "Great Goddess of All" as she was called. Gabrielle flipped off of Vetos and landed in front of a 6 year old boy. "Oh,lost are you,little one? Don't worry,I'll take you to your mommy and daddy",spoke Gabrielle.

"M-my parents are dead",replied the little boy. Gabrielle smiled evilly as she looked into his eyes,"I know",and with that said she placed the pinch on him."Don't worry,in 30 seconds you will be dead,and you'll be with your mother and father.You Saterians amuse me…especially with your 'Great Goddess of All'.In case you haven't noticed…she isn't saving your ungrateful wastes you call people",Gabrielle spoke every word with disgust and happiness.Happiness of knowing she was killing everyone successfully in her path.She laughed evilly as she watched the little boy fall over,his body now limp.She then made her way into the village and grabbed a running woman.

"So…you must be the great,Satire. I've heard a lot about you.How you took out a Cyclops, annihilated an entire coven of Savores. Well,I think I just completely annihilated the entire race…of Saterians.",Gabrielle let out a laugh of victory as she ran the chakram through the woman's neck.Blood trickled down the young woman's neck,running onto her clothes and weapons.She fell over,a puddle of blood forming around her dying body.

"Don't worry…it's only the body that dies. The spirit soars through the heavens like an eagle,",retorted Gabrielle.Gabrielle then threw her chakram,watching it hit many people and animals.She caught the blood-covered chakram and put it by her hip.She then hid and let out Xena's infamous war cry,laughing silently as people cheered,believing the Warrior Princess was here to save the day. She flipped into the air and landed on the roof of a house that was there,"Sorry,Saterians,but Xena's not gonna save you today".She smirked and flipped down,throwing her chakram and dodging knives and arrows as they came at her.When she landed,she went completely into back flips and landed,grabbing a shield from a dead Saterian and held it up,using it to block the arrows.She then caught her chakram,seeing all of the dead people on the ground,drenched in puddles of blood.

-End flashback-

Gabrielle rode into Amphipolis,her eyes examining every inch that she saw. It was still the same,after all of these years.She jumped off of Vetos and tied him to the post outside of Cyrene's tavern. She walked along and saw a shadow rush in the distance.She quickly pulled out her sword and held it in front of her,watching for any sign of subtle attack or exit. She paused and listened. Foot steps creaked behind her and she heard the sound of a blade scraping. She then swiftly turned around and found herself pointing her sword at a man who looked to be about 29 or so.

"Gabrielle?",the man asked,"It's me,Virgil" Gabrielle's eyes widened as soon as she heard that name.

"Virgil?",she paused and put her sword away. "People are saying you're a warlord now,is it true?",he asked her,concern in his voice.

"You shouldn't believe everything you hear…but yes,I am."

Virgil's eyes grew, he looked at Gabrielle with a dark and painful look.
