[After talking with a few people, Xena has gotten an idea.

For once, this idea does not involve violence.

No. It involves reading. Xena has a number of books spread out in front of her. There’s Homer, a book of Greek myths, Greek and Roman history, even the Bible has a couple of stories marked. And she’s been making “corrections,” striking through and adding commentary. Meanwhile, she dictates into the journal.]

It’s funny how many people I know seem to have made the history books. Not that the books seem to have gotten much right. Still, it’s good to know people haven’t forgotten everything they did. [And that they do seem to have forgotten Xena. She’s perfectly fine with that.]

Kinda hard to forget about Hercules.

forever!

[forgedinbattle]

He's a pretty unique guy, that's for sure.

[waterproofed]

Yeah, I know. I mean, I never met him personally but I knew someone who did.

[There is a tiny dragon stalking up to you, Xena. He doesn't look amused]

What do you think you're doing to the books?

Just as planned.

[forgedinbattle]

[Xena looks down at the little...purple... is that supposed to be a dragon?]

Making improvements. [You should be thanking her.]

[gevurah]

[ A pause as she reads Percy's comment. ]

You knew Hercules?

forever

[forgedinbattle]

Yep. He's a great guy; I owe him a lot.

[heloise]

It is good to be remembered well. [ And she has an inkling it's not true of her. ]

[forgedinbattle]

[That's one reason that Xena is grateful not to be in the history books. She's rather glad that "Xena: Destroyer of Nations" isn't remembered. Because whatever else she does with her life that will stain it.]

Yeah, it is. These folks deserve it.

[ There's a purple unicorn pony walking through the library, a checklist and quill floating in front of her via magenta-colored magic field.

She seems fairly content... until she looks over... ]

What in the name of Celestia are you doing to those books!?

That just gives you the freedom to make incredible name drops. And don't be too hard on the scholars, to be fair there are tons of different versions of myths for your gods alone.

[forgedinbattle]

Kinda makes you wonder who decided to write it all down.

Xena

[likethetragedy]

That's what happens when you live in an exciting age.

Elektra

[forgedinbattle]

Exciting, dangerous. About the same, right?

It's weird; You never think of yourself of living anywhere special. I kinda assumed every place was like that.

It's strange, isn't it? Finding names you know in the history books or records. Every now and then I come across my own name and it never fails to surprise me.

[forgedinbattle]

Haven't found myself yet. Can't say I mind too much.

[youhavebeenflynned]

Wait, what? You know people who made it to the history books?

[forgedinbattle]

Lots, apparently.

[youfallback]

[Have a light chuckle.] What do the history books say about you, Xena?

[forgedinbattle]

Not much, actually. [Thankfully.]

[arealwoman]

What do you mean 'people you know'?

[forgedinbattle]

The same thing most people mean by it. [:|]
