Pulling the reigns to her horse closer,Xena glanced around the forest path leading to the Spartan lands...As always the Warrior Princess was on edge and in tune with the sounds in her surroundings.The Spartans were a proud race and known for their ridiculous rules and un predictable behavior.The last thing she wanted was to be thrown into jail on her "Vacation".
"I'm not sure about this..."Xena said."We're supposed to be on vacation ,How relaxing is Sparta?"Xena inquired.Glancing side ways her eyes narrowed. If there was one deadly pet peeve she had it was being ambushed.No one ambushed Xena and lived to tell about it. Relaxation was the last thing on her mind right now,but Xena couldn't help but smirk to herself internally.She knew it was only a matter of time before they were back on the battle field once more...
But she wouldn't say anything out loud out of fear of hurting Gabrielle's feeling.Her partner in crime wanted to take a break,so they would do just that.Still..It didn't mean they couldn't stop to have some fun on the way.

Gabrielle walked beside Xena's horse. She smiled at her surroundings, the air was fresh and clean. The trees were all different shades of green. She could hear bird chirping from up high in the branches. Their melodies relaxed her, and put a happy note in her heart. She could always appreciate nature. Xena, Gabrielle said with a smile, You got to step aside from a warrior's point of view, try looking at the world through a Bard's point of view, or someone else. In all reality, Xena was right, they would probably be finding trouble soon, but she hoped to relax for a bit before that. Sparta, who knew what would await them in this city. Gabrielle knew they could handle it, what ever it was. But Gaby wasn't exactally in the mood to fight this fine morning.

"Maybe..."Xena replied to Gabrielle's comment.Even with her reasurrence she couldn't shake the feeling she had.Sighing heavily Xena gently stroked the horses nose--Calming herself in the process."Yeah I guess you're right..."She added shortly after.Rolling her shoulders back she attempted to relax.
As she walked the sound of metal against leather echoed through the forest,a result of her chakram hitting against her thigh with each movement.Carefully stepping over a fallen log,Xena adjusted her gauntlets idly.She was bored--as obvious as it was--And searcing for any little thing to entertain her.

Eve walked on the long road to Sparta. She adn't been here for a very long time, she was a bit nervous about how her talk would go. Her armies had swept across this place many time before. She hoped things would go peacefully now. Eve looked around. SHe had been walking for a while now. And trees were all around. Thecty couldn't be much farther away, could it? She was tired. Many of her followers wanted to accompany her on this trip. But she had insisted that she went it alone. Now she was regreting it, she was feeling a little lonely right now. Then Eve heard some voices off in the distances, she hoped they wee friendly, because she needed to as for directions.

Gabrielle smiled a little and shook her head, she knew Xena wasn't enjoying this. Gabrielle rubbed her eye, she was a bit tired. Sparta, maybe not the best place for their Vacation. She looked ahead and saw a figure ahead, she thought nothing of it until they started getting closer. Eve? Gabrielle called out, she hoped her eyes weren't desieving her. If she was lucky then, my they were running into a whole bunch of old friends, in this case family.

Pulling the reigns on her horse,Xena stopped dead in her tracks.The sound of nearby rustling had caught her attention earlier but she tried to dismiss it as a small animal.This was certainly no animal....Glancing back at the trail behind them her eyes narrowed, as if trying to see something that was not there. "Eve?" Xena blinked,Tilting her head over to Gabrielle."What do you see that I don't?" Xena asked her partner all the while continuing to investigate the nearby area.
Xena wouldn't deny that a small part of her wished it was her daughter and not an animal pulling her leg,but the chances of that were slim.Still ...Their luck seemed impecable lately so her hopes wouldn't be brought down just yet.

Eve heard her name. She looked behind her, and saw two figures. Gabrielle and Xena. "Mother? Gabrielle?" Eve called out and smiled. She couldn't have asked for more of a miracle. Eve turned around and walked at a faster pace to wards her mother and Gabrielle. She couldn't believe her luck. She hadn't seen her mother and Gabrielle since they had restored Varia to the Amazon throne. She had heard her mother had come back, and she couldn't wait until she had the chance to cross paths with them. Now was her chance.

Gabrielle saw Eve come to wards them. Right there! Gabrielle said a smile coming across her face. Gabrielle pointed. A rush of relief came through her, she was happy she was right. It had been to long since they had seen Eve. Eve was now coming to wards them and Gabrielle couldn't feel happier. She could see in Xena's eyes that she felt the same.

The First person aside from Gabrielle that Xena wanted to see was her daughter Eve.Eyes softening with relief that her daughter alive after her passing,Xena quickly pulled Eve into a tight hug.Placing a hand on her head and kissing her forehead.She could only imagine the pain her daughter must of felt....Recently reunited with her mother only to be torn away from her without a word.That was enough to drive even the Messenger of Eli to madness.But here she was...Holding strong as always..Eve really was Xena's daughter,wasn't she? " You just as beautiful as the last time we saw you..",Xena said,holding back tears.It seemed Gabrielle and Eve where the only two women in her life that could bring the Destroyer of Nations to tears.

Iolaus wasn't sure whether to come out this far, seeing the three from afar. He was very hesitant of being with any of them on his own without Hercules and that whole inhuman strength going on at his side. But his best friend was being moody about something yet again and it led to the inevitable restlessness that he knew would follow. And what was this? The great warrior woman was crying? Well, this would be a story for the ages. Now he was even more wary about just coming up to them for whatever reason, boredom being the major one. But if it led to his rear being given back to him on a platter, he wasn't willing to make that sacrifice yet..maybe once she stopped having an estrogen party.

Eve was safe in her mother's arms, a feeling she hadn't felt since the last time she saw. Eve was about to sob, but told herself this was a happy time, one that shouldn't be nturupted by tears. "Mother! I knew you could cheat Death more then once! I have-" She couln't finish her sentence for she was so overwhelmed. She couldn't believe her mother had once again risen from the grave. All she could do was smile and hope that tears didn't come streaming. She shifted her hug to Gabrielle. "Gabrielle!" It was all she could get out at the moment. She should have known her mother wouldn't let Gabrielle wander this world alone. When she first heard o her mother's death, she couldn't believe it. But then more and more people kept spreading the word, and that was the time Eve questioned her loyalty to Eli. She knew everyone would have to pass on sooner or later. But Eve didn't even get to say good bye to her mother before it had happened. But she had forced her self to continue on spreading the word and all. She had prayed many times that the rumors were wrong, but they had been true. But somehow her mother had returned. And she knew the God Of Eli had granted her prayers. "How'd you do it mother?" She asked taking a deep breath.

Gabrielle held Eve in her arms and felt like she was whole, even though it wasn't her own daughter. She felt like it was. Her head turned to Xena as it rested on Eve's shoulder. Xena was in tears. She knew Eve was everything to her. Since Solan had passed on, Eve was the only child Xena had. As Gabrielle released Eve from their hug, She had a small glimpse of Hope. Her own daughter. She didn't want to tell Xena, but Hope did still haunt her nightmares. It's so good to see you Eve! Gabrielle said putting on a smile. It truly was good to see Eve once more.

Wiping a few stray tears from her eyes,Xena hugged both Eve and Gabrielle tightly before pulling away.Standing tall once more as if nothing had happened.The question her daughter presented her was one that haunted Xena's thoughts as well...How had she managed to escape the clutches of death?? That question was partly the reason Xena was so eager to explore these lands once more,In the hope that the answer to her question might be answered."Ah well..You can't keep The Warrior Princess down for too long..."Xena said in a small attempt to lighten the mood."The good thing is I'm back...And to stay this time.." Xena added.Placing a hand on Eve's cheek,she smiled again,unable to contain her joy with the situation.

So they hadn't exactly noticed him yet. Maybe he wasn't upset about that. If they had noticed him, one of them could have easily taken off his head thinking he was an enemy. He looked around curiously, finally coming from out of the tree he was hiding behind. He wondered what on earth he could say. Hi, remember me? I'm Herc's old buddy Iolaus. I just happened to be along here...Well, no, too casual. He didn't exactly know them as well. And considering his "buddy's" involvement with Xena for a while there this could be awkward. He really didn't know what he was doing there at all. Perhaps because he couldn't find Hercules at all and was looking for something different.
"Uh hi..." Good one, Iolaus, He scolded himself. Wait to be clever.

Eve was embraced in her mothers arms once more. She loved to be with them. She was with her only family once more. She smiled at her mother's answer. Typical. Her mother was strong, and strong enough to defeat death for the fourth time was it now? She had read many of Gabrielle's scrolls. Her mother was never this close to being gone before. "Please don't leave me again." She whispered to her mother. Even though she knew her mother wouldn't. When Xena, the Warrior Princess wished to do something, she did. Eve wasn't as strong as her mother. Even though she had a title as the Messenger Of Eli, she couldn't always live up to it. She was human, and every time she felt weak or scared, she felt like she was letting all of Heaven down. Eve turned her head to the unfamiliar voice coming to them. She saw a blond hair man coming to wards them. She recognize him. But from the look on Gabrielle's face she did.
