| Alone. How did I end up alone? I want to be angry with you Xena, no, I am angry. You left me. So many promises broken when you decided to let yourself be killed. You even let me think that I could bring you back. Just to stop me as I begin to place you ashes into the fountain. Why? What a cruel joke. You have done so much looking for redemption, why must you find it this way? With no other choice I accept your decision, and you left me, your spirit crossing over with the sun. As the sun set, the darkness took over my soul as well. I could only feel so much pain before everything went numb. Now, like you I have an evil side. The only difference is that there is no-one to save me. A life without love is not worth living? Love will be the true guide to redemption? What kind of crap was I thinking? I know now what brought you to this place so long ago. It even feels good to hate now. Who is the sap now? Never again me. My victory awaits me. Headed by my lover, Ares. Huh, I bet you would be turning in your grave, well if I you hadn't cremated you. This is what you wanted, this is what you get. I prove something different to you now. That I am just like you used to be. Why not, look where you ended up after all the good deeds. Dead. What a waste. Yes Xena we will meet again, but it will be in a fight against good and evil. I will take the heavens from you and hurt you as you have me. It is I who seeks vengence, against your soul. Today Ares is going to send me over to your side. He can't come with me, but we have a plan. Once I take over the other side, I will be in control of who comes and goes. Then he will join me. He wants to repay you just as much as I do. You used him many times as well. Perhaps you should have thought about that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archangel Michael and Xena are approached by Eli. "Xena, there is something I need to tell you. Eve has sent prayer to us that there is a great evil coming to take over Heaven." "Dont worry, they won't have a chance against Xena now that she is an Archangel. She is our greatest force in the fight against evil." Michael said proudly. "Has this entity started anything yet. Everything seems to be still." "No, she hasn't passed yet. Xena, I am afraid that this will be difficult for you. The entity will be Gabrielle." Xena was horrified. "What? She is too kind of a soul too do something like that. Are you sure it is the same Gabrielle?" Sadly Eli continues: "Yes. She has vowed vengence against your soul." "Ares is working with her, but the decision is her own. She has succombed to evil after your loss. Now she wants to get even with you for hurting her. Ares will be sacrificing her today. We can't intervene until she gets here. Do you know what you will have to do?" "Yes, destroy Gabrielle's soul. I will if I have to. But I can't believe that she is truely evil. Can I do this my own way and try to save her? We are meant to be, soulmates for eternity. I have to try and make her understand." "Alright, but be forewarned, if you don't get through to her within three moons, her soul must be destroyed. Anything more than that will jeapordise the souls in all of heaven. Our God will have to permanently intervene. Go now and prepare for her arrival." Xena goes to the cavern of souls to await Gabrielle's arrival. All souls entered the cavern before they were appointed to heaven or hell. Maybe she could talk some sense into her there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the candle lit temple of the god of war, Ares takes Gabrielle and gently lifts her onto the altar. He didn't wan't to kill her, but she made it very clear that this was the only way. With or without his help she was going to cross over. He was very fond of Gabrielle, almost as much as he was of Xena. He would greatly miss her if this didn't work, but no matter what was said, he couldn't talk her out of it. Reluctantly Ares withdrew his sword. " You will return to me?" "Yes Ares, as soon as I have control of heaven, I will call you to join me. Now do it quickly, right through the heart." Ares passionately kisses Gabrielle, and stabs her through the chest, clutching onto her as she fell back lifeless. I will not loose you too Gabrielle, this had better work. Go now my queen, I will see you again. To be continued.... |
