The Chakram and the Dragon

This story is the sequel to The Judging of the Queen.

Disclaimer: With today’s conglomerates it’s anybody’s guess who really owns the sole rights to the characters and stories of XWP - but as far as I know, Xena: Warrior Princess, Gabrielle, and all other characters who have appeared in the syndicated series Xena: Warrior Princess, are the sole copyright property of MCA/Universal and Renaissance Pictures. But in some sense, they belong to all of us, now.

 

Violence: There is violence in this story, and readers should be prepared for it. The Amazons did not live in a time of peace, and their way was the hard road. But Xena and Gabrielle manage to hold true to the premise I posited in The Judging of the Queen.

 

Main text (not Subtext!): The only other disclaimer is, of course, the one about it being about two women who love, honor and cherish each other above all others, through all of their many lifetimes together, and who wouldn’t dream of being inhibited or embarrassed about expressing that love as they choose. If you are enslaved by a peculiarly twisted and regressive form of homophobic prejudice, I don’t know how the heck you ended up here - but read at your own risk! (Who knows, you might just learn something about tolerance!) And if not, I hope you enjoy their love as much as I have loved writing about it.

 

I want to thank those fans who have responded to my first bardic endeavor. I pray that they willingly follow me down this road, to see where I have gone: and that in the end, they enjoy the journey.
