Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a witch named Zena. Zena was not like the other witches in the village. She was kind-hearted and always tried to help people rather than using her magic for evil purposes. Zena lived in a small cottage on the outskirts of the village. Her cottage was surrounded by a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and magical herbs. She would spend her days tending to her garden and brewing potions in her small cauldron.
Cyrene
Cyrene of Amphipolis was a recurring character on Xena: Warrior Princess. She was the mother of Xena, Lyceus and Toris. She owned the tavern in Amphipolis.
Cyrene was very close with her children and was deeply saddened upon the death of her youngest, Lyceus. She blamed Xena for his death, as it was her that made him defend the village against an attacking warlord, Cortese. She banished Xena from Amphipolis and Xena set out on a destructive and violent lifestyle. However, after Xena had seen the error of her ways, she returned to her village and her mother to warn them of another warlord, Draco, attempting to to take the village. Cyrene continued to act cold towards her daughter, until she witnessed Xena save Amphipolis and subsequently decided to reconcile with her.
It was later discovered that Cyrene had killed her husband (Xena's father) in order to protect her daughter from his drunken actions. Many years later, Ares and the Furies sentenced her to death for this crime. However, Xena and Gabrielle managed to convince the Furies that Ares was in fact Xena's father, meaning Cyrene didn't kill anyone. Xena's father's true identity has never been revealed.
Cyrene was killed by the townspeople of Amphipolis, after they believed she was a witch, due to claiming that she could hear voices and that her house was haunted. She cried Xena's name before she died. Some time later, Xena investigated the death of her mother and discovered that a portal to Hell had opened in the house and it was in fact haunted.
She would spend her days tending to her garden and brewing potions in her small cauldron. Despite the villagers' initial fear of witches, they soon discovered that Zena was different. She would use her magic to heal the sick, mend broken hearts, and bring happiness to those in need.

- Jane Doe - 2/5 - I found "Zena the witch" to be quite disappointing. The plot was predictable and lacked depth. The characters were one-dimensional and their motives were unclear. I also felt that the writing style was too simplistic and didn't do justice to the potential of the story. Overall, I was not impressed with this book and wouldn't recommend it.
- John Smith - 1/5 - "Zena the witch" was a complete waste of time for me. I found the storyline to be disjointed and confusing, with no real development or resolution. The characters were unrelatable and lacked substance, making it hard for me to care about what happened to them. The writing was also filled with grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, which was a major distraction. I regret giving this book a chance and would advise others to steer clear of it.
- Sarah Johnson - 2/5 - I was really hoping to enjoy "Zena the witch" as I'm a fan of the fantasy genre, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The plot had potential but was executed poorly, leaving me unsatisfied and frustrated. The pacing was all over the place, and the world-building was minimal. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult for me to connect with the characters. While I appreciate the effort, I can't say that I found this book enjoyable or memorable.
- Michael Thompson - 3/5 - "Zena the witch" had its moments, but overall, it didn't meet my expectations. The concept was intriguing, and there were certain scenes that captured my attention, but I felt that the execution was lacking. The writing style was inconsistent, and there were several instances of unnecessary repetition. The characters had potential, but they weren't fully developed, and their actions often felt forced or out of character. While it had its flaws, "Zena the witch" still provided some entertainment, but it's not a book that I would recommend enthusiastically.
