A beautiful, shorthaired, blond
sat leaning against a boulder gazing at the evening stars. She
drew one knee up, circling it with her arms, and rested her chin on
the knee. “You know Xena, even if we did miss Sappho,
this was still my best birthday ever.” She grinned at
her friend, “Especially flying with you. That was
unbelievable!”

“It’s ok,
really. We can see her another time,” said
Gabrielle. “You don’t need to keep
apologizing. It was a great birthday…” Anything
else the warrior-bard might have said was lost as she suddenly felt
a tingling on her skin. She looked up to see Xena also stiffen
in reaction. “Ares?” Gabrielle queried, a
surprised look on her face.

Just then the pair heard the sound
of clapping. They turned in the direction of the sound and
there, leaning casually against a tree was Ares, God of
War. “Very good ladies. I’m impressed
Gabrielle. Until now, Xena’s been the only one to sense
me when I don’t want to be noticed.”

“Well, Xena’s taught

Ares looked at her, with what

“A few days ago, and

“Now Xena,” pleaded
Ares patting his hands in the air between them and taking a step
backwards. “It’s not what you think. As soon
as she broke free, she created a time vortex, and it took me a

trapped her and Callisto in the lava.”

“Weellll…”
drawled Ares, “I may be able to help there.” He
saw Xena arch her eyebrow and went on, “I could make you both

before she can kill your younger selves.”
