In My Version Gabrielle's Scrolls are the basis for the Television Show.

Artemis has no son, she has Marley and sent her back.

The entire plot is an exercise in predestination paradox.

I went to sleep one night in my one bedroom apartment in Queens and woke up, 20 years younger, in a Temple of Artemis in Ancient Greece. I was a child that was for sure, if I had to guess. Nine or ten years old. I had leather boots, Dear Skin leggings, and a Wool tunic. My hair was in twin braids. There was a chair nearby and I sat down and went through the satchel I had. There was a few sets of clothes like the ones I was wearing. Bread, dried Meat and cheese, a Knife a loaf of some kind of sweetened nut like bread, I wrapped the food back up, there was also a pouch with gold and silver coins. They resembled ancient coins not that I'd be able to recognize what kind or anything but they looked brand new to me. A water skin, and one scroll written on the outside in looked to be ancient Greek and sealed with wax. It was much nicer parchment then I ever imagined the Parchment was pure white which I didn't think was possible, and the seal was gold, and had a half moon with a strung bow. A redheaded woman dressed in armor, appeared in front of me in a flash of silver, and the scent of leather filled the air. She looked a great deal like I did as an adult.

"Hello, Child." She peered down at me.

"I'm not a child I'm 30 years old." I said.

"Are you now? Well perhaps you were but you're obviously a child now. I'm Artemis Goddess of the Hunt." She said. I nodded.

Feeling her power, I bowed my head. "You'll have to forgive me, My lady, where I come from no one believes in Gods, or goddesses or magic. They believe in Logic and reason and Science. If You were to appear and declare yourself a Goddess and ask people worship you in my time you'd most likely be laughed at and considered mad. If the Gods do still exist in my time I have a feeling they must work on the sly."

"I have no doubt they do exist you are my daughter, I felt the pull of a new Demigod of my Blood, though I haven't been with anyone lately, what is your name child?"

"Marley, Marley Leto."

"Leto?"

"People have two and sometimes three names in my time, it's easier to keep track of people that way. My second name is My family name, I'm not sure where it came from I'm an Orphan I was raised by a guardian. My Guardian's name was Celeste Moon, She was a seller of Antique weapons the type you use now, in my time people didn't use those they use more deadly and accurate weapons when they used weapons at all."

Artemis Nodded. "Leto was My mother's name, I must have given it to you it as a family name before I left you with Celeste, Celeste given her second name and occupation could have been one my Priestesses, or even an amazon sent to protect you until I could send you back. Did I send you back with anything?"

"A pair of dear skin leggings, two more tops, and three sets of under things and socks. Bread, dried Meat and cheese, a Knife, a loaf of some kind of sweetened nut like bread, a pouch with gold and silver coins. A water skin, and a scroll sealed with Wax." I said.

"Can I see the scroll?" I nodded. I handed dug into the bag and pulled out the scroll. I handed it to her. "This is My seal." She opened the scroll. And read it. "You are my daughter, but you are also a descendant of Xena's daughter Eve. I am now honor bound to protect her. It says that the Twilight of the Gods is a Self-fulling Prophecy. And that the Gods can live long fulfilling lives if we leave Eve alone. I must speak to Xena and Gabrielle."

"Will they trust you?"

"I'm not sure." She waved her hand and we appeared to be in another temple. It didn't look like the sort of place Artemis would call home it looked more like…... "Dite!"

Aphrodite pink bikini and all right out of the Xena TV show appeared. "Arte! I was enjoying my me time what was so important! Now who's this?"

"My daughter from the future. I sent her here to stop the Twilight of the Gods she's descended from Xena's daughter Eve, and of course is my daughter. I De-aged her 20 years and sent her here, with the knowledge of what would happen if we didn't stop the Twilight."

"Eww Arte, I don't want to think about that!"

"Will you help me get a meeting with Xena and Gabrielle?"

"My Little Sweet Pea and My Warrior Bard of course. Make yourself comfortable." She disappeared. Artemis I mean My mother created some couches and we both sat down.

"Artemis…." I started.

"You will call me mother, Marley. I am your mother I deserve the respect of being called such. You Will call me Mother if you don't next time you'll find yourself over my knee." She scolded.

"Yes, Mother." I said happy I could finally call someone that, but wishing I could call her something less stuffy like Mom.

"Good Girl." She tugged one of my braids.

"What will happen after we've stopped the Twilight of Gods?"

"We'll live in one of my temple's, and you'll go to school. One of the Temple's on Amazon Land is probably the Safest for you, they will teach you to be a warrior, as well as teach you the things I'd want you to learn, and watch over you when I can't. Gabrielle, and Baby Eve appeared, with Aphrodite. "Hello, Xena."

Xena stiffened. "Now, Arte is now here to hurt your baby Xena…." Aphrodite added. "This is her daughter Marley, she's from the future, and she's a descendant of Eve and Arte feels Duty bound to protect the little one now."

"Hello, Xena." I said. "I'm not sure if I should call you Yaya, or not." I said breaking the tension.

"Aunt Xena is fine." She said with a smirk.

"Like Aunt Dite said I'm from the future, somewhere between 2,000 to 5,000 years. Mother had me raised by a woman named Celeste who was either an Amazon or a priestess of hers. She was a nice woman, My powers were blocked. I spent two years in the army, and grew up to be a writer, I lived in a large city and made my living selling antique weapons, like Celeste did, I was a writer but it didn't pay for everything, selling swords, axes, daggers, knives, and such did. When I was a child there was a weekly play series based on Gabrielle scrolls, called Xena the Warrior Princess, it showed hour long plays, so I know of some of your adventures….But some were adapted and changed for the future audience no doubt ignoring what was actually written."

"I'm sure." Gabrielle said. "So what happened during the Twilight as far as you know?"

"Quite a few Gods dead, Ares puts you two to sleep for 25 years and Eve grows up in Rome, becoming Rome's champion Livia and vicious, brutal woman warrior who follows the orders of Octavius her father. And wipes out entire villages, including entire amazon villages and being Lover and champion of a certain War god, before finding the path of peace and spreading the message of Eli." Xena growls. "I'm sorry, I can't provide better news, Gabrielle you also might want to keep an eye on your sister, Lila and her daughter Sarah is kidnapped and becomes the wife of a warlord and becomes his most vicious wife out of necessity."

Startled Gabrielle nods. "I will thank you."

Mother stood. "Dite we need to convince the other Olympians that it's in their best interest to listen."

"Compared to Athena the rest will be a breeze." Aphrodite said.

Artemis sighed. She looked at her sister. "Dite will you watch, Marley?"

"Of course, Arte….I'll even protect the Warrior Babe, the baby and My little sweet pea." Artemis nodded. She disappeared and reappeared on Mt. Olympus.

"Athena I must speak to you." She said.

"And what is it you must speak to me about." She said

"I sent this to myself from the future, along with my daughter." She showed her sister the scroll.

"But the Prophecy…..the fates."

"It was a Self-fulfilling Prophecy we don't act on it. It will not come true." She said very clearly as if talking to a small child or an Imbecile. Athena was not amused. "It not the first time a Prophecy the fates foretold was self-fulfilling don't fall into this trap, Athena We don't need to die, the fact that the child lives proves it. She is from the future and is a descendant of both myself and Eve proves it."

"Yes." Athena said sighing. "I'll call the others."
