Siting here around our camp fire late at night something I have done for the last six seasons, I realize that many things in my life have changed.



I am know longer the young village girl I was. Life has made me stronger and wiser to the world around me. I have scene things that no one should see and yet, I would not change anything to do that, would mean changing who I have become.



Looking across the fire, I see the one person, who has know matter what been at my side. Yes there have been times when, our worlds have been torn apart, those we have loved have died, our dreams have turned to nightmares but through it all one thing has always remained. Our Love and friendship.



Friendship survives because without that nothing in this life makes a difference, to be there when another is in need to hold them and to just be by there side makes this life worth all the pain. Our friendship is worth fighting for.



Love is what comes with that friendship. It did take a while, but little by little I found a way into a heart covered with stone. One were friendship and love had been torn away. Were killing was as natural as breathing.



I have over the years heard all the stories of The Conquer Of Nations. Scene the fear in peoples eyes when they hear her name. Scene those she has saved turn their children away. Scene the pain in those blues eyes.



She has never, ever tried to make herself out to me as anything more then what she is. A warrior like know other.



Ares Chosen, Strong, intelligent, with a wild streak that know God can control.



Even at the beginning when I first started to travel with her I saw another side, A warm heart, a caring soul, hidden beneath years of anger and hate.



I have always loved the written word, so I started to write down our adventures hoping one day people will know that in the beginning she was a killer a ruler of lands a force of nature, but in the end she began the beacon for good. My friend and my love.



"Hay Gabrielle dinners ready"



"Coming"

The end.
