The life of Callisto would have been a very different one if Xena the warrior princess never existed. But alas, Xena did exist. Xena and her army came to Cirra and set the small village on fire. A fire that devoured every living thing as it swept through, leaving only a young Callisto behind. Losing everything, she was filled with hatred for the person that took everything from her, Xena. From that day on, Callisto devoted her life to training in order to get revenge for her family by killing Xena and everything that warrior princess loved. She began by raiding villages and assuming the name of Xena to chip away at Xena's new found heroism. That eventually led to many battles face to face, with Callisto doing some major damage to Gabrielle, Xena's best friend. But in the end, Callisto found herself trapped and beaten and on occasion even dead. But death wasn't enough to stop her rage. Making a deal with the queen of the Greek gods, Hera, Callisto became immortal and eventually became a god herself. But still, she couldn't seem to defeat Xena. After years of trying and failing, Callisto eventually came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth it anymore. Seeing Xena dead wasn't going to make her any happier. It wouldn't change anything. Now all she wanted was death. To be released from her agony. But death didn't come to gods easily. A new age was forming in Greece. The time of gods was ending in favor of only one god. Some tried to stop this, including Xena. Seizing a opportunity, Callisto made a deal with her enemy. In exchange for helping her defeat Dahak, the evil new god coming to rule, Xena would use some Hind's blood, the only thing that could kill a god, to end her life. Of course things didn't go as planned, since Gabrielle sacrificed herself which gave Callisto a new sense of whimsy in life. But Xena held up her end of the deal and plunged the Hind's blood dagger into Callisto's stomach, ending her life. But fate wasn't done with the blonde warrior yet. Centuries passed and a new world had formed. Greek gods and warriors were now only a thing of myth and legend. Standing in a large room full of Greek antiques and artifacts, Callisto looked around. She was unsure of where she was or how she got there. People passed as they looked at all the artifacts but they ignored her, thinking she was just another regular person at the museum. Attempting to find out her location, Callisto made her way out of the building only to be met by the loud noises of modern day life. The vehicles that passed by terrified her and fascinated her. What were these large mechanical beasts? Before she could get a closer look, Hera appeared before her. "Callisto I have brought you back to life. Xena is still alive as is my step son, Hercules. The year is 2018 and you're in America. Gods still exist. Greek and Norse. Ares, Thor, Hela, Loki, even the bimbo Aphrodite is still alive. Find them and together we can revive the old ways." And as fast as she appeared, Hera was gone. Rebuilding the Greek and Norse pantheons wasn't something Callisto was eager to do. She was never fond of being Hera's puppet. But finding old freniemes like Ares was sounding like a comfort in this strange new world. Standing on the sidewalk, Callisto wasn't sure where to begin. The other gods could be anywhere. As she contemplated where to start, she began to notice passerbys stop and stare at her. It took her a minute to realize it was due to her warrior gear. She was dressed very differently compared to everyone else. If she was going to blend in, she needed to find modern clothing. Also shelter. This journey was not going to be easy.
