Story Overview

Sibling Pact and the Identity Swap

Xena had set aside the wig and the pair of false breasts that she had gotten out for her brother Xanax to put on, but they would come later. Xena was curious as to what her brother would look like first without the wig and the false boobs and she had already in mind the type of clothes that she was going to have her brother to wear.

“Well!” Remarked Xena to her brother with a mischievous grin on her face. “Well, what?” Asked Xanax in confusion. “Why, get undressed of course silly.” Replied Xena with a wicked grin. “I wish that I never let you talk me into switching places with you.” Remarked Xanax feeling very uneasy about the prospect on putting on his sister’s clothes, as no male in all-of Kraytor would ever dare to wear female clothing.

With a heavy sigh, Xanax began to take of his clothes all except for his underpants, which were the colour of blue, a very manly colour indeed. Xena smiled seeing her brother in his underwear, it was something that she never got to see. “Those too.” Remarked Xena grinning like a Cheshire Cat. “What?” Asked Xanax in total confusion. “Why remove your underpants silly.”

Said Xena with a giggle. “Can’t I just wear your clothes over my own underwear?” Asked Xanax in despair.  “Of course not. The whole point of swapping places with me is that you wear my clothes, all of them and that I wear all of yours too.” Remarked Xena sounding quite annoyed with her brother. Xanax removed his underpants, somewhat reluctantly. Xena smiled as she noticed how small her brother’s penis was. “Stop looking at me like that. You really ought not to be looking at me naked.” Said Xanax feeling ashamed of himself and uncomfortable at the same time by being seen completely naked by his own sister.

“I’m sorry, but there is no other way, now put these on and then you won’t feel so bad by being naked in front of me.” Said Xena, grinning like a little girl. Xanax looked at what Xena had now placed on her bed for him to see. The item was much to his dismay, pink and silky, he picked the item up and looked at it, he noticed frilly laced edging around the leg holes, he then turned the item over and, on the back, there was a mass of rows upon rows of ruffled frills going right across the back.

It was then that Xanax knew what item was. “Oh no. I am not wearing these!” Said Xanax in shear defiance. “Stop being silly brother and put them on now.” Replied Xena with an authoritative tone of voice. The item in question was of course a pair of frilly knickers. Xanax knew about them, but never had seen a pair before, but he had a good idea as to what they might look like, and his fears had come true. Reluctantly, he slid on the frilly knickers, and they fit snuggly around his waist.

But just then, Xanax looked on in shock, as there was now a bulge inside of the front of the knickers that he was wearing, this fact only made Xena burst out into a fit of giggles. “Oh my, it looks like that you really like those frilly knickers of mine.” Xanax looked on in utter complete shock and dismay. “I should not be having this kind of a reaction to these knickers.” Remarked Xanax, not sounding at all too happy with himself.

“Aww do not be mad or upset with yourself brother. I promise not to mention this to anyone. It will be our little secret. Though you are going to have to learn how to keep that under control, as you are going to be seen by my personal handmaiden in a state of undress.” Said Xena, still in a fit of giggles “I honestly do not know how to do that, or why I am having such a reaction. It’s not natural.” Said Xanax, feeling uneasy by the whole situation.

“Try not to dwell on it so much-brother. Let us not worry about that right now, I have a corset now for you to try on.”

“Why have me wear one of those?” Asked Xanax in shock. “One, wearing it will give you a much-needed shapely figure, and two, all women wear corsets, so that’s that.” Replied Xena, firm, but gentle. Again, Xanax let out a heavy sigh, as Xena got out a corset, only that it wasn’t just any ordinary type of corset, it was pink with ruffles at the top and with ruffled arm cuffs to match with laces at the front as well as at the back, there was a bow in the centre at the top of the corset.

“And now for the final touch.” Said Xena with a giggle, as she got out the most poofy, ruffled frilly skirt, that he had ever seen. “You’re seriously not going to make me wear that are you?” Asked Xanax in shear despair. “Of course I am silly. Now come on, be a good girl and put it on for me.” Remarked Xena with a giggle. Xanax reluctantly put on the pink poofy skirt, that just stuck out all around him, making him look utterly ridiculous.

Xena could not help herself, she burst into a fit of giggles, but just then, her handmaiden Gabriel happen to enter the room without even thinking, as she was accustomed to simply coming into Xena’s bedroom seeing only just Xena. She got a complete shock and surprise to see Xanax looking all pretty in pink. “Oh my. Xanax, what are you doing wearing women’s clothing?” Asked Gabriel in shock. Xena then suddenly took Gabriel to one side and told her, of her plan. Gabriel was shocked even more, but she was truly loyal and faithful to Xena, so she agreed to keep Xena’s secret and offered her help, to help with Xena’s plan.

The Wedding

Xanax had to spend days, weeks parading himself around as Xena, luckily, he was very good at imitating her voice, but so was Xena good at imitating his voice too and she had cut off all-of her hair and to make it look like the style in which Xanax had it. Things were going quite well until fate played a cruel joke, Gabriel came down with an illness, preventing her from doing her duties to Xena. Another servant was ordered by King Xion Xanthia himself for the servant to take over from Gabriel, against Xena’s wishes to dress and bathe herself. Which meant that her secret would get revealed and revealed it was.

King Xion was furious with the real Xena for her plan, but also with Xanax for going along with it and wearing her clothes. Guards were forced to keep a close watch on Xanax from there on in, of which he was not happy with. The truth was, he had gotten used to wearing his sister’s clothes and had come to enjoy wearing them. Xena was also kept under a very watchful eye and was forced to marry Prince Alron right away. It did not take long to get a wedding planned, it took several hours to get everything ready, but the wedding went ahead as planned. When it came for the high priest to say his lines, suddenly there was a dark cloud and a flash of lightning that appeared. A man with short black hair, wearing a full complete black suite of armour, with a black cloak that billowed out from behind him, suddenly appeared.

“I object.” Said the man in black. There came a shock of gasps from all around. “Aries, what such an unexpected pleasure to have you here.” Said King Xion being polite as possible. “You can dispense with the pleasantries King Xion, I am here to stop this wedding and to ask for Xena’s hand in marriage to me instead, she is to be my Warrior Princess.” Said Aries in total authority, no one could object, not even Prince Alron, who had a sad and shocked expression on his face, both at the same time. Gods were known to visit humans, but they did not do so often. “I accept.” Said Xena in response to Aries demands. She was only too happy to be his bride.

The Making of a Warrior Princess

Aries appeared before Xena, sensing her potential. He offered her power and training in exchange for her allegiance. Xena accepted the offer, Aries taught Xena everything he knew about war, battle and how to fight and it was the beginning of her transformation into a legendary Warrior Princess. Her rise was marked by internal conflict and the sacrifice of innocence. Xena was given as a wedding gift from Aries, the Chakra-Blade, a circular weapon with serrated blades jutting out from all around it, along with a longer blade to serve as a sword. It was a weapon for both hand-to-hand combat and-also be used as a ranged weapon combined, it became a deadly weapon, that could kill any man and cut through any armour.

But the weapon was of no use against a God, which Xena unfortunately came across, and he challenged her to a duel. The God was known as Draxious, the God of the Elements, which meant that he could summon fire, ice and lightning. He also had other powers too. Xena was no match against a God. Draxious easily defeated Xena, and he struck her down using his powers. Xena’s Chakra-Blade fell down to the ground.

The Fall: Betrayal and Loss

Aries suddenly appeared. “You shall pay for her death, this I swear.” Said Aries, who felt betrayed by Draxious for killing his loyal and fierce Warrior Princess. He picked up the Chakra-Blade which was strewn across the ground. As a rule, Gods do not rage war against one another, not since the Great War of the Mighty Gods, which ended, badly for all. A pact was then sealed that no God would rage war on another God and Aries knew this, but he had to get revenge somehow, for Xena’s death. The loss of Xena was a very heavy burden for King Xion and Queen Xenifer of  Kraytor, but no one took the death of Xena very hard than Xanax himself, he had performed well as a Prince and the restriction that had been placed on him, had been lifted, including the guards that once used to guard him were removed and he was free to do as he pleased.

Xanax’s Transformation

Haunted by guilt and inspired by his sister’s legacy, Xanax embarked on a journey of vengeance. He took the battle armour that his Xena was dressed in, which was a combination of a black leather corset, a short black leather skirt and a pair of black leather boots. All that Xanax need to complete his transformation was a pair of black frilly knickers, which he had gotten from Gabriel. He had told her of his plan to leave his mother and father behind and to continue Xena’s legacy, by becoming Xena, himself, or more to the point, a new version of her. Gabriel offered to help under condition however, that he would take her with him.

Xanax, now as Xena, went in search for Aries, he did not have to search for too long, as Aries had sensed him searching for him. When Aries saw Xanax wearing his sister’s battle armour, he burst out laughing. “Are you Pretending to be Xena again?” Asked Aries in-between fits of laughter, as Xanax, as Xena, did not this time wear the long black wig, or the false breasts. “No, I am Xena, I am honouring her legacy, by becoming her, or at least a new version of her.” Said Xena, sounding deadly serious. “You honestly expect me to believe that you can fight?” Said Aries in fits of laughter. “Train me, I am willing to do whatever it takes to prove that I am worthy of carrying both my sisters name and her legacy.” Replied Xena in an even more serious tone of voice. “Okay, I will give you a chance to prove yourself. But be warned, I won’t go easy on you.” Said Aries, he had finally stopped laughing.

Through trials of endurance and heartbreak, Xanax shed his old self, emerging as the new Xena in both name and spirit. He was given the very same Chakra-Blade that his sister was once known for using. He learned how to wield it too, Aries watched Xena’s progress, he was impressed with the boy who proudly used the term Sissy, as-a-means to describe what he was and why he did not and had no intentions to use and wear a wig or false breasts, he was happy just as he was. This impressed Aries, who thought that Xena was being incredibly brave, but in the end, Xena proved himself to be worthy not only to carry his sisters name, but also of her legacy too.

A New Warrior, A New Legacy

Now driven by a cause greater than himself, Xanax (as Xena) he sought out Draxious, Aries thought him to be utterly mad. But Xena was forever defiant, much like his sister was. Draxious laughed the moment he saw the new Xena. “Walk away girly man and I shall let you live.” Said Draxious in-between fits of laughter. Just then, suddenly a surge of strange energy washed over Xena, which gave him a power like no other, which he used to defeat Draxious with. It turns out that somehow Xena is a half god. Being one, the God’s pact does not apply to him, he had finally been avenged, but the war was not over, a group of armoured men going by the name of The Hand had started to seize castle Kraytor, putting his parents in harm’s way. As much as Xena no longer liked his parents, he could not just simply stand idly by and let them come to harm. So off he went with Gabriel in tow, who learned how to fight herself, so that she could easily defend herself, should she need to do so.

Xena easily reached the Castle thanks to Aries who had given him a white horse called Argo, who could run like the wind, Xena got to the castle just in time to be able to defend his parents, when the army of The Hand saw Xena, they laughed at him, but he used his skills and his powers in order to defeat them. Both King Xion and Queen Xenifer were shocked, but also happy to see their son. “Xanax why don’t you come back home to us!” Remarked both of his parents. “Mum, Dad, I am Xena now. I carry my sisters name and her Legacy. I do not belong here, I belong out there in battle, fighting the good fight, so that evil will never prevail.  And I have my own family now in Gabriel, she is like a sister to me. I love you both, but I truly cannot stay.” Said Xena with tears in his eyes and with that, he and Gabriel got onto the back of Argo and rode off, never to be seen ever again.

The tale concludes with Kraytor secure but forever changed. Xanax, now recognised as the new Xena, becoming a symbol of hope and strength. The legacy of the Warrior Princess is reborn, not through bloodline, but through the courage to embrace identity, face deception, and rise from tragedy.

The End.
