    Author Notes:

    After the RIFT and a hiatus of one and a half years, Xena and Gabrielle find their way back to each other under tragic and dramatic circumstances.

     
    The blonde Amazon once again couldn’t help but re-visualise their parting in her mind’s eye. She still could hear the tall warrior’s emotionless voice. ‘Herc and I will settle down. Mother gave us Grandmother’s farm as a wedding present. Life will be peaceful for a change. What are you going to do?’
     
    She also remembered her answer, and how she had to fight down the urge to burst into tears. ‘Don’t worry about me. I’ll go to Athens. I always wanted to go back to the Academy. I was offered a position as a teacher sometime ago; now, I’ll take them up on it. At least I can’t get into trouble there.’
     
    There was a hint of sadness in the background of Xena’s blue eyes but her voice betrayed no hint of emotion. ‘Take an Amazon escort to Athens, the roads are dangerous.’
     
    ‘I can take care of myself, thank you. I’ll have to, from now on,’ she angrily replied as the sadness in Xena’s eyes grew. ‘Live well, Xena.’ Gabrielle turned around, but it took all her willpower not to look back.
     
    Gabrielle didn’t go to Athens; she returned with Ephiny to the Amazon village and fulfilled her duty as their Queen. Her talents as a negotiator brought peace and prosperity to the Amazon Nation. She was well loved by her subjects, and her rule was unchallenged. She was good at what she was doing, but her heart wasn’t in it.
     
    In the beginning, Ephiny and some other friends had tried to coax her out of her shell by prodding her into telling stories, but she adamantly refused. She even put her scrolls away and had never touched them since.
     
     
    A knock on the door snapped her out of her musings. She turned around, opened the door, and was engulfed in a fierce bear hug. The blonde man was only a couple of inches taller than Gabrielle herself, and when he finally released her, his face signalled relief and a bone-deep weariness.
     
    Glancing over his shoulders towards the wagon, the young Queen made a step towards where Hercules still sat motionlessly, but Iolaus stopped her. "He doesn’t hear or see you, Gabrielle. That’s only a body without a soul."
