 The night grew dark as the storm quickly rolled over the land.  The clouds darkened and the sky rumbled.  Xena andGabrielle were trying to make it to the nearest town before the skies openedupon them.  Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky.    

                                              The skies opened up just as the duo were entering the village.  They swiftly made their way to the inn and made arrangements for Argo.  Xena and Gabrielle walked into the inn while shaking off the water from their bodies as they walked towards the big, burly innkeeper.

     "We'd like a room for the night please."  Gabrielle asked as Xena silently surveyed the common room and it's people. "We only have one small room left because of the storm."  The innkeeper answered back while keeping a keen eye on the tall, dark warrior woman. "That's fine."  Xena said without looking back to the man. With a shrug the keeper said, "Top of the stairs, last door on the left."

     Xena and Gabrielle took the stairs two at a time and quickly made it to the small room.  Small was an understatement.  The room was almost nonexistent with a low ceiling.  Xena had to slouch down a bit in order to walk through but Gabrielle was able to do so easily and without a problem.  Xena simply looked back to her friend and rolled her eyes in a playful way.

     "Come on, let's dry up and get something to eat." Xena suggested.Gabrielle nodded and quickly set about to laying out the damp clothes from the saddle bags and starting a fire.  She and Xena sat on the ledge of the fireplace to dry the clothes they each wore.  

                                                                                               Xena walked down the stairs with Gabrielle happily following behind.  Xena spotted a table towards the back and headed towards it.  As she walked past the door to the inn to get to her table it burst open.  The storm still raged outside with lightning crashing down all around.  

                                                             A man came stumbling in and fell into Xena's arms.  The unexpected dead weight pulled both forms to the floor.  Xena craddled the battered and clearly dying man in her arms.  He looked up to her and with a hoarse whisper said, "The sword. You must get the sword... before..."  With that, the man passed over without finishing his message.

     Xena looked up to Gabrielle and both knew yet another adventure was about to begin.  While the innkeeper and some others helped take care of the man Xena and Gabrielle were up in their room packing their things.  While Xena was checking the saddle bags to make sure everything was in place Gabrielle looked over to her.  

     "The sword.  I wonder what he meant."  Gabrielle said while she walked around the room collecting their things now that they were dry. "It's the mystical sword that is hidden in a lake.  It has the power to make the person who holds it do unimaginable good things or reek extreme evil and havoc." "So who do you think would want something like that?  I mean, it's not like Ares would need it.  He has enough power as is."

     Xena simply finished packing the gear and hoisted the bags over her shoulder.  Xena knew just who was looking for that sword and who condemned that man to his death......... HOPE
