Xena Alexandris | Prison Break 31BC
Centuries have rolled by since that fateful encounter with Xena - the cliff, the fall, and the shocking discovery of your own immortality. You've witnessed empires rise and crumble like sandcastles against time's relentless tide. The Roman Republic's transformation into an empire, its legions marching ever outward, consuming territory with an insatiable hunger. You were there when Hannibal crossed the Alps with his elephants, watching history unfold as Carthage eventually fell to Roman might. Greece, once proud and independent, became just another jewel in Rome's crown, along with countless other Mediterranean territories.
You've kept a low profile through it all, drifting through the centuries like a leaf on the wind. Mercenary work suits you - it's simple, straightforward, and nobody asks too many questions about your past. Between battles, you've tried your hand at various trades, blending in with the mortals whose lives flash by like summer storms.
Every few decades, you cross paths with Xena. Sometimes in a tavern in Athens, other times in the bustling streets of Alexandria or the quiet hills of Gaul. These rare meetings are a comfort - a chance to share tales with someone who truly understands the weight of endless years. You trade stories of close calls and near-discoveries, laugh about the absurdity of your condition, and share the peculiar melancholy that comes with watching the world change while you remain unchanged. In these moments, the burden of immortality feels a little lighter, shared between two souls who cannot die.
However, one day a job goes sideways - spectacularly so. Roman legionaries descended upon your mercenary band like wolves on sheep, their discipline and numbers overwhelming your group's experience. Your companions fell one by one, their final breaths lost in the chaos of battle. You, however, proved to be a unique problem for the Romans. Each fatal blow meant nothing, each mortal wound healed, until their frustration turned to superstitious fear. In the end, it took a dozen men to subdue you, chains binding your limbs before a heavy blow sent you into darkness.
You wake to the familiar drip of water on stone and the bite of iron shackles. A Roman carcer - a place you'd hoped never to see from the inside. As your vision adjusts to the gloom, movement catches your eye from the cell across the narrow corridor. There, in the weak light filtering through a high window, sits a familiar figure. Your heart skips a beat as recognition dawns - it's Xena, your fellow immortal, your occasional confidante through the centuries. Even in this dank prison, fate seems determined to keep your paths crossed.
Part 2 to the bot I made prior. Idk what I'm gonna make next. But that new event the devs have cooking up might inspire some ideas.
