PERSPECTIVE PART 1d
By D.virtue
Diana looked at the warrior for a moment and then she caressed Xena’s arms,
then she suddenly wrapped her arms around Jeanni’s neck and kissed her. Then
she leaned back into Xena and with a look of contentment, and love for Xena
and friendship towards the sway Jeanni, who now had a fierce blush happening,
Diana then spoke with a lightness in her voice that sent chills down both
Xena’s and Jeanni’s spines, seeing how it had been so long since Xena had
heard the tone, and Jeanni had never heard it.
“ I’ll suffer through.”
Xena squeezed Diana to her and whispered in her ear.
“ Suffer you shall my sweet kitten, I’ll make you beg me for rest when I’m
through with you.”
Diana trembled and Xena felt it radiate through to her. She then kissed
Diana’s cheek and then said “ We have to go.”
“ Are you going to scold me again?”
“ Yes.” Xena answered honestly.
“ Can I do anything to get you to grant me mercy?”
“ Yes.”
“ What?”
“ That’s what you will have to guess. Now let’s go.” Xena then turned with
Diana in her arms and headed outside and lifting Diana onto her horse she then
jumped up into the saddle behind her and Miki brought over an extra horse that
she had been told to purchase for Jeanni.
Jeanni jumped into the saddle and they all headed out of the town and towards
the forest, where once they were out of site, Miki threw the traveller and
they all went through, and when they came out they were outside the gates of
the palace.
“ You know kitten, we’re going to have to work on these things so that we can
be exact where we end up at.” Xena said seeing the flaw of the travellers.
“ OPEN THE GATES IT'S OUR LORD AND HER CONSORT!!!”
The gates opened and the entourage rode in and dismounted down off of their
horses, at which time the stable hands took the reins of the horses and lead
them to the stables to be cleaned up and allowed to rest.
Xena held Diana by her hand as she strided inside the palace doors followed by
Miki and Jeanni.
” My Lord! Welcome Home, Your Majesty, we have missed you something awful.”
The servant Izara said as she bowed before both of them.
“ Thank you Izara, it is good to be back. Where is Lord Questra and her
Consort Gabrielle?”
“ They are in the library.”
“ Hm, thank you. Have the cooks make a special welcome home meal for my
Consort.”
“ Yes My Lord.”
“ Izara?”
“ Yes your Majesty?” Izara asked stopping her turn away.
“ have them also make Our Lord a special meal as well, I know everyone has
missed her as much as they missed me?”
The servant smiled brightly and then said with a gush.
“ YES Your Majesty!! We have!! I’ll take care of it right away! By Your Leave
My Lord?”
Xena nodded and the girl raced off to go and do as she was told to.
“ Lord Xena, I think you should have time to settle back in you and Diana, so
I would appreciate it if someone could show me how to get to the Amazons
lands?”
“ Actually Jeanni I will do better than that, Miki?”
“ Yes My Lord?”
“ Take Jeanni to the Amazons, introduce her to Queen Ephiny personally and
tell them that I sent you.”
“ Yes My Lord, right away. Ma’am if you will?”
“ Thank you, Lord Xena I’ll see you both later?”
“ Definitely.”
“ Alright then. Diana behave yourself?”
“ I will, thank you.” Diana said as she hugged Jeanni once again, and
whispered in her ear.
“ You saved me, I owe you.” Diana then kissed the shocked woman's cheek and
then turned back into Xena’s arms.
“ It was my pleasure.” Jeanni then turned and followed Miki, who threw the
traveller out in front of her and they both went through.
Xena and Diana waved to the woman and then Xena looked down at Diana and said
in a warning tone, “ Next time ask me if it’s okay for you to kiss someone.”
Diana blushed as a result of the sound of Xena’s tone, and the jealous tease
in her eyes.
“ It was on impulse.” Diana grinned brightly. Xena couldn’t resist the look
and she seized Diana’s lips in a passionate kiss, that even after all the
times she had been kissed by Xena, she was still staggered by the effects of
Xena’s passion, and skills.
“ Now, let’s go to the library to talk with Gabrielle.” Xena then turned and
taking Diana’s hand they strided to the library.
“ XENA!!! DIANA!!!” Gabrielle exclaimed as she raced into first Xena’s arms
and then after giving a welcome home kiss to the cheek, Gabrielle then flew
into Diana’s arms and hugged her so tightly that Diana gasped.
“ Gabrielle?”
“ Oh, sorry, are you okay? No one hurt you did they? I am so sorry for what I
said, I was so wrong, I couldn’t stop beating up on myself, I was so worry
about you Gods Diana please forgive me, I know the only reason you try to
protect me is because you love me, and I should not have been so hard on you
about just wanting to care for me...” Gabrielle then wrapped her arms around
Diana again and sobbed as she apologized.
“ Sis, it’s alright, I understand what you were saying, and although I would
love to accommodate you on letting you take care of yourself more, I can’t say
I will stand by and letting you be hurt when I know I can prevent it. I’m
afraid just as Xena pointed out to me that I made a commitment to her, you my
dear sis made a commitment to me, the day you agreed to become my sister, and
just as Xena holds me to my commitment, so I will hold you to yours. Gabrielle
I know what it means to be emotionally scarred by lost, it’s something that
never leaves you, I’ve enough of those type of scars to last many many life
times, to add another scar to that is just not something I can or want to deal
with, the three of you are the family I never had, and I will die again and
again to protect it, so I’m sorry if I can’t say what you want to hear, but
my heart will always show you the depth of my love for all of you,. I hope you
can one day understand?”
Gabrielle just gazed at Diana with the love she felt for the woman, as her
tears rolled freely down her face. Then she wrapped her arms gently around
Diana neck once again and they embraced in a hug of understanding and
acceptance of their lots in life.
Xena and Questra both stood back and just let the two girls express what was
in their hearts and although they felt the emotional aspect of the two girls
expressions of love to each other, Xena was still determined to talk to both
of them, mainly Gabrielle.
“ Okay you two, I want you both to come over here and sit down, we have some
things that Questra and I want to talk to you about.”
Diana and Gabrielle walked cautiously by the two warriors who stood with their
arms crossed over their chest. They sat down on the sofa seat next to each
other and Xena and Questra both remained standing.
“ What is it?” Gabrielle chanced to ask.
“ You and Diana, you both seem to have these perspectives about things that is
not yours to control, AT ALL.” Xena emphasized.
“ Xena we know we were wrong.” Diana said.
“ Yes you were, you both hurt people you love, whether unintentional, or
whatever, the point is the way you both see things has a lot to do with the
way you react to things. Gabrielle, I know you want to be able to protect
yourself from some of the people who have come against us, but most of those
who have come against us are not the normal type of criminals they are if
anything dangerously abnormal. Gabrielle I know you want to be like Diana,
but you can’t, you will never be enough like Diana to ever be able to handle
any of the people we have had to deal with by yourself. Gabrielle you are a
very brave young girl, and for that we are all very proud of you, because
although you do not have a lot of the physical strength to defend yourself,
you still have the will to try, and the gift of speech to fight your battles
for you, and for that you have all of our admirations. But I want you to
understand that just like Diana tries to rebel against my protecting her,
despite the fact that she is capable, there is absolutely nothing she can say
or do to stop me, and the same goes for Questra and you, but you both have to
realize that there is other people who will want to protect you, whether it’s
each other or us, or the Amazons or Jeanni, or strangers. The only people who
you have any say so about not protecting you is those that you know would be
hurt , or worst, excluding any of us. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“ Yes, but Xena you have to know how much it hurts me to know that someone I
love is always taking on the burden protecting me, Everytime, Diana risks
herself for me, I feel like just screaming at the top of my lungs.”
“ Why?”
“ Because.....” Gabrielle choked.
“ Because what Gabrielle?” Questra asked now stepping in as the comforter of
her mate.
Gabrielle took a deep breath and looking first at Xena and then at Diana she
lowered her eyes and the tears rolled unhindered down her face.
“ I......I’m afraid that someone will really hurt Diana so badly that she
never recovers from it. “
“ Gabrielle?” Diana said as she took hold of Gabrielle’s one hand that was
resting on the sofa next to her. Gabrielle let her fingers curl around
Diana’s, and they held each other’s hand.
“ Diana, I thought I was over certain things, but when the clones were here
and The Questra one hurt you the way she did, I started having flashbacks....”
“ To what?” Diana asked.
“ To.....to what Callisto did to you, I can’t get it out of my mind’s eyes.
Your screaming,despite trying not to so as not to cause of torment, trying
through all of that to still protect me, and Xena and Questra, while you were
being tortured like that, your only thoughts were of trying to protect us from
the pain of having to remember your tortured screams. You know, it was sort of
a relief in a way that you weren’t able to hold back the screams. I know that
sounds horrible, but I actually took some comfort in knowing that you couldn’t
protect us, especially me, that death was meant for me, but you suffered it
for me, and why? Because you loved me, and for that I can never show how
grateful I am to have you in my life as my sister and friend, but it still
hurts to see you and all of you suffer because of me.”
“ Gabrielle?” Xena called to gain her attention.
“ Yes?”
“ I was wrong about one thing.”
“ What’s that?”
“ When I said you and Diana were not alike, you are more alike than I
realize.”
“ What do you mean?”
“ I see now that the two of you think a lot alike.”
“ In what way?” Questra now asked.
“ They both seem to believe that others are suffering because of them, and
that maybe if they were not around, then maybe things would stop happening to
all of us, and just maybe we could be happier without them in our lives than
we are with them in our lives, suffering through the pains of things with each
other , rather than going through them alone, or through the emptiness of
having lost them because of their misperceptions. So...the only thing that I
can say is stop being selfish! If people want to help you because they can
then you both need to stop thinking about how much it hurts you to see others
suffering because of you, think about how much pain is involved with them
feeling like they couldn’t be there to protect you, or how when they are here
they still fail at times, and how that must feel to the one who would do
anything to have saved you two from all of the pain and suffering you two went
through. I pissed off at the fact that you two are pissing and moaning about
others suffering because of you! Well the fact of the matter is little girls!
Both Questra and I were nearly destroyed by all that we saw and couldn’t do
anything, Not a Damn thing to stop it, and yet that’s all we wanted to do was
protect you, so that our own souls would not be torn to pieces at what we were
seeing. I don’t ever feel that I am suffering when I do things to protect you
both. It is what I am here for, to protect the two of you, but mainly you
Diana, Questra is Gabrielle’s Guardian now, but I will continue to fight and
die, if the fates determine, for the two of you. So if you have a problem with
that then all I will say is..... Suffer! Because I will do all in my power to
protect you both from demented, evil minded, people who’s only goal is to hurt
others.”
Xena then looked hard at each of the girls and then she turned away as her
eyes being to moisten. Questra then stepped in.
“ Look girls, we understand how it hurts to see others suffering for whatever
reason, and we know it hurts more to know the person is doing for us, but
Xena’s right, it is a selfish view the two of you seem to have. You both don’t
want to hurt thinking about how much you ASSUME we’re hurting because of you,
well the fact is that it hurts to watch the two most precious people in your
life suffer such atrocities as the two of you have, and Xena and I will always
fight to shield you both from such things, and it’s pretty hard to swallow
when we fail. There is enough pain that we’ve all suffered, but I can say as
far as Myself and Xena go, we don’t consider it suffering when we’re
protecting the two of you, it’s all about love.”
Both Diana and Gabrielle sat looking between the two warriors, and then Diana
stood up and walked up to Questra.
“ I love you Lord Questra, I have nothing else to say, except thank you.”
Questra pulled Diana into her arms and held the young girl, then after a bit,
she leaned back and said in a choked voice.
“ I love you to little one, and thank you for being here for Gabrielle, I know
I would not have been able to hold it together if she had had to go through
all of the things with those clones, by herself. Thank you.”
The two hugged again and then Diana walked over to where Xena stood, quite
thoroughly in a mood. Meanwhile Gabrielle went and stood in front of Questra.
“ It seems like there is and was enough pain to go around, I’m sorry for my
part in it, can you forgive me?”
“ Only if you can forgive me for not being here for you when you needed me?”
“ Then I guess I’m forgiven?”
“ Yes.” Questra then pulled Gabrielle to her and placed a gentle and loving
kiss to her lips.
Questra and Gabrielle had talked long into the nights about things wile Xena
and Diana were gone, but the perspective that Xena brought to things opened up
a whole new ground of discussion, and now they have truly explored all of the
grounds.
Both Gabrielle and Questra looked over to where Xena stood, still with her
back to all of them, while she looked over at the group of advisors talking in
one of the closed chambers of the library.
“ Xena?”
“ What?”
“ do you realize your angry again because of something that I’ve already
admitted to being wrong about?”
Xena looked over at Diana who stood looking at her with all the innocents in
her, Xena smirked and then answered her mate.
“ I’m not mad, I was just thinking about some things.”
“ What?”
“ Never mind, anyway, just know that you will not be out of my sight for a
long time.”
“ But Xena?”
“ No Buts. That’s just a fact, get use to it.” Xena said cupping Diana’s chin
in her hand.
“ Xena?”
“ Yes Gabrielle?”
“ I just wanted to tell you.....”
“ What Gabrielle?” Xena said letting go of Diana’s chin and gesturing for
Diana to go stand near Questra for a moment while she and Gabrielle talked.
“ I just wanted to say I’m sorry, for everything, especially lying to you
about Diana and for causing you such pain because of it, I hope one day you
will forgive me, and give me the chance to gain your trust again?”
“ I’ve already forgiven you, but I’m going to make you work at gaining my
trust again.” Xena said with an undeniable tone.
“ Yes My Lord. I understand.”
“ Good girl.” Xena said as she leaned down and cupped Gabrielle’s chin and
kissed her on the lips with love and compassion.
Gabrielle blushed fiercely by the kiss, but she understood it for what it was,
Xena showing her she had indeed forgiven her and she missed her. Gabrielle
then was sent back over to Questra and Diana watched Questra take Gabrielle in
her arms and lead her out of the library teasing her about the blushing.
Xena walked over to where Diana stood and putting her hands on Diana shoulders
and giving a distracted type massage to the muscles, Diana covered Xena’s
hands with her own hands.
“ So...what now Love?”
“ Now we get you cleaned up the way a queen should be cleaned.”
“ What does that mean?” Diana said as she started to turn to face Xena but was
pushed out the library and ordered to their chamber.
Once there, Xena snapped her fingers and Dancea and Ludmilla both came out and
immediately hugged Diana, but then they pulled her away from Xena and into the
bath chamber where they immediately stripped Diana and and themselves and they
asked her to get into the water.
“ I can bath myself ladies, you know I don’t feel comfortable with you two
doing things for me that I can do for myself, of Xena could do.”
“ We were ordered to bath you your Majesty, and we have no intentions of
disobeying our Lord.”
“ Very well.” Diana said giving in.
The two girls scrubbed Diana until her skin glowed, and her hair was radiate.
Diana then was dried and then oiled and massaged by Ludmilla, and then after
she came out of the bath chamber, Xena was waiting for her on the bed.
“ Good night My Lord, My Lady.” Ludmilla and Dancea both said as they bowed,
and then was dismissed with a wave of Xena’s hand.
“ Xena, what was that all about?”
“ what?”
“ Those two.”
“ They were just doing what they were told to do, their jobs.”
“ But Xena you know how much it bothers me to have them doing things for me
that I can do, or prefer for you to do?”
Xena smirked, and then untying Diana’s belt from around her, to expose Diana’s
body to Xena’s studying eyes.
“ I know, but you know it’s all a part of being my Consort, plus, I didn’t
want a dusty Consort laying in our bed.” Xena stated as she studied Diana’s
body. “ Take off the robe.” Xena ordered as she knitted her brows together in
concentration.
“ Xena why are you looking at me like that?” Diana asked as a blush now added
an undertone to her already polished skin.
“ You know, those bother me.” Xena admitted as she gestured towards Diana
breast.
Diana looked down slightly, and then looked back up with embarrassment on her
face as to how the change had happened.
“ I’m sor....”
“ Stop, I’m not interested in your apologizing for something you had no
control over, but something has to be done about them, and I’m just the woman
to do something.” Xena stated factually.
“ What? Or a better question is how?” Diana asked with a puzzled expression on
her expression.
“ By Doing what I told you.”
“ What’s that?”
“ By Controlling everything about you.”
“ H......” Diana started, but was unable to finish her thought before Xena
snatched her onto the bed and begun claiming her.
After candlemarks of intense lovemaking, and Xena refusing to allow Diana to
release, to the point that Diana was begging Xena, through her labored
breathing. Xena herself withheld her own releases as well and as a result both
women had a light glistening sheen of perspiration covering their whole body.
Finally, as Xena was thrilling every part of Diana’s sensitive body, while
thrusting deep and with abandon into Diana’s flower using the extension,
Diana’s breath caught once again and this time she new she would not be able
to contain.
“ X.e.n.a.......P.l.e.a.s.eeeee?”
“ YES!!” Xena exclaimed as she gripped Diana’s hips and drove madly for the
intense release she knew was waiting for both of them.
“ GODS!!!!! “ Diana screamed as her body locked and begun an electrically
charged sensation from the tips of her toes, up her legs, up her thighs, aver,
around and through her behind, hips and groin, up into her belly, up her
spine, the intense orgasm was claiming both her and Xena, but Xena knew what
she was doing and although she was about to be engulfed in an orgasm that was
energizing her with her impulse, she was determined to see the end result.
“ HAA....Xena......?” Diana managed.
Xena heard a tone of fear in Diana’s voice because she did not know what was
going to happen to her.
Xena sent Diana a thought just before she explored.
“ It’s alright kitten, your safe and it’s all about love.” Xena then covered
Diana’s mouth with a kiss that would both take and replace air to Diana’s and
her lungs.
Suddenly! the raising energy slammed into both their brains and they bodies
shook their releases, as Xena and Diana breathe for each other. They both were
elevated out of their bodies as they floated to the mist of Ecstasy. Once
there the watchers begun watching. They looked at the two physical bodies
experience the full body orgasm as one, and then they looked over and saw a
brief vision, it was of the two Lords covered in blood, but of their own, but
of someone elses, but then the vision changed to two young ladies sitting on
what appeared to be beds split off from seeing each other by a curtained like
wall.
The two were in total contrast to the warriors. They were soft and luminous.
Then the images changed and it showed two of the warriors standing at the foot
of the beds looking at the two on the bed with hunger in their eyes. Then the
one image showed one of the warriors covering the one on the bed with her
blood covered body and just when the two climaxed a bright glowing light
claimed the images and they were lost in the light so that the watchers could
not see any of them.
The watchers turned back to see the two women and found that they two were
engulfed by a radiate glowing light. And then the two gasped and then Diana
collapsed and Xena rolled off of Diana and just before her back touched the
bed she glanced at Diana’s nipples and saw what she wanted to see.
“ Beautiful My Glowing kitten, beautiful.” Xena whispered and then her back
touched the bed and she was out like a light.
