I Resist the Muses

Honestly, I cannot cook anything without burning it. Even to boil water, I burn the pan.

Thankfully, Gabrielle cooks nearly all of our meals. I really look forward to the ones that she has time to prepare. It makes a long day of traveling almost worth it.

My favorite meal is this thing that she makes with rabbit. Mmmm.

Oh great, now I'm hungry and I can't find Gabrielle anywhere. I'll just have to wonder down to the hotel's restaurant and find something good.

This is a hard one, but I would have to see say injustice is the biggest one. Followed closely by people who mess with my family. Oh sure, we run into marauders, and hooligans much of the time, and they just annoy me, like a mosquito buzzing in your ear. But mess with people who can't defend themselves or the people I love... Well they'd better far and fast.

When you live from place to place, the only thing you really have is your family, so I protect them. I almost look at it as if it's my job. And it is, really. One that I am proud to do everyday.

*grrrr* I can't seem to fixed the extra tag on my entry either!

If people haven't already seen, the most important person in my life is Gabrielle. So this song describes the thankfulness that I get to travel with her everyday. Really, everyone should be so lucky.

Gods - love.

Well, knowing the goddess of love personally I thought that this would be an easier question to answer. To be the most simple there are those we are born to love and those that we choose to love.

In the beginning we are given our family, so we learn, if we are lucky, unconditional love. Mothers, fathers, sisters brothers - all teaching us how to love. When we grow up we all discover that we have a choice in who we can love, and that is when we picks our partners.

Not all of us are so lucky to find a person who loves us in the same way that our first family did - but I am one of them. In Gabrielle I have found those things - unconditional love - as well as a best friend. With her I know that she will walk beside me for the rest of both of our lives.

And I am very lucky woman indeed.

To me family used to mean the people related to you. Usually this involved a house, maybe some land, a mother, or some siblings. Sometimes you all got along, sometimes you didn't.

My own father ran off when I was seven years old. He isn't high on my list of people, even though my mother tried to never speak ill of him. I have three brothers, though only two of them lived through infancy. Truthfully all of us who survived past childhood were lucky. Both of my brothers died fighting. I think that my mother worries that I will too.

Then there is my mother. She wrote me off years ago when I... went bad. She couldn't bare the thought that her flesh and blood could do those awful things. After years of being a warlord, I did finally come back. As expected she wasn't pleased but we managed to forge a relationship.

My family now is Gabrielle. We've been traveling for six years. (Though you could say it's been much longer than that on account of what Ares did a year ago.) I haven't ever been as close to anyone else. I am incomplete without her. That is when I realized that I was finally home.

Simply, I am Xena of Amphipolis, just a defender of the peace. It's the little guy that is important to me. I figure it's the least I can do to repay my past, but I don't think I'll ever get that debt repaid. My past is just that, my past. I used to wish I could change it, truthfully I still do, but I know that I wouldn't be the person I am today without it.

I don't have a home, but I am not homeless. I wander with Gabrielle, a fierce warrior in her own right, though she didn't start out that way. In the best of times I think that she's grown so much, in the worst I think I've corrupted her. Whatever it was she chooses to stay and I'm all the better.
