[xi-] Xena is [2] inside the [-_] house, standing on the living room carpet. The 日 sun shines in through the window and onto her trusty sword. She takes it and jams it into the carpet and kneels. Suddenly she is transported to 昔 the past, as the carpet turns into turf and she finds herself in the middle of nowhere.
