All Alone
North she goes
In search of her friend
Which land of the dead?
Must see her again
Feeling her presence
Hearing her voice
She does what she must
Makes a choice
After seeing the Amazons
Trapped in limbo
Unable to pass to eternity
Faced with her past
She must make it right
Gains a new word
Love allows them to pass
Before Alti is killed
Something is revealed
Gabrielle is alive
Sets off to find her
Gabrielle I'm entering a world of darkness I promised myself I'd never return to. It's the only way I can see you again. My mind has lost its center. It's turning, turning. I can't hold the candle. I hear you or is it the wind. As I travel along paths I left long ago, I'm engulfed by my memories. They consume me.
In The Past
I hate the dead you can't take vengeance on them. Xena
Come on Borias after all the people we've killed what's one more corpse?
Alti
Eyes rimmed with black
The color of coal
With an evil stare
Revealing her blackened soul
Once an Amazon
Expelled from the tribe
A shamaness of great power
Full of darkness
Craving ultimate power
Alti On Power
Your friend you told me about Lao Ma her powers come from denial, self sacrifice, the light. That's not for people like you and me. I want to tap into that heart of darkness the sheer naked will beyond all craving hatred and violence. I'll become the face of death itself capable of destroying not only a person's body but their soul. Help me and I'll make you Destroyer of Nation.
I can't Gabrielle I can't. You know would make me happier than seeing you again. You were my light but I just realized what it was you gave me a light of my own. There's something I gotta do. Something you'd want to do. I love you.
Cyane
An Amazon Queen
Beautiful yet fierce
Even when slightly nude
Taught Xena her ways
Backfired in the end
Killed by her hand
Forced to roam the land of the dead
Unable to pass into eternity
Nothing greater than courage
Was proven wrong
Love allowed them to pass
Finally allowed through the gate
Back Together
Upon having the vision
She sets out to find her friend
Goes off to Potedia
Sensing a presence
Turns around to find her there
So she thought at the time
Not the mother but the daughter
Along with her monster child
In the end they die in each other's arms
Daughter and grandson are no more
The Destroyer and Hope are finally dead
Mother Son Moment
Hello beautiful. Are you cut? Did she hurt you? Let mother see. Now, stop that. Stop it! Stop it! My child mother won't hurt you. No, no. There. We're too close to fulfilling my father's plan to fail now. Listen to me. Hold still. Be careful with mother. Let me see if she hurt you. Careful. Good. She was using you to get to me. Xena knows who I am. Yes. Good. Rest now. Tonight, I want you to enjoy every moment. Yes
What Happened?
I don't remember much. I remember the falling. I remember the fire and the rocks. I remember Hope screaming when she died. I just blacked out then and I woke up in this hospice. Apparently I had been there for a long time and I sent word to you.
It's Me
I know that thing in there looks like me but it's not. She wants to kill us all. No ssh just listen. Remember remember when we were kids? We got lost in the snow, and I promised you that I would give you my Solstice gift if you would just keep walking til we found help. And I kept my word do you remember? I gave you that rag doll. Don't you remember? Now do you believe me?
It's turned into quite the family reunion. What's it now, four generations? Your parents, there's you, me, my pride, my job. Your grandson mother the Destroyer.
My Way
I was trapped in a cycle of violence and hatred and no matter how I tried to break free soemthing always pulled me back until you. No, it's ture. You talking about trying to find your way, but to me you are my way. I'm searching for answers, too. But how we look for them doesn't matter as long as we look for them together you and me.
Gabby's Rant
It itches like crazy. No, no, no. It was your idea to traipse through a dozen swamps to get to this godforsaken place. Why couldn't you just leave your horse in a barn like a normal person? Plenty of bugs, lots of infestation.
I have not got lice. You think I wouldn't know if I had lice? Lice! I don't think so. Xena
Hey I'm not the one with a fungus among us. Xena
Fine. I'll give you a piece of me. Come and get it. Come on. Gabrielle
Helpful Tip: If you suddenly can't see chances are your hat is on backwards. Check before you freak out.

Helpful Tip: Red berries play tricks on the mind.
Gabrielle Goes Hunting
I'll catch the rabbit. Yeah! After all these years of watching you slaughter nature's creatures, I can do this. Look I don't want you near the food. A lice infested rabbit is not on my diet.
I don't have lice! It's, it's dandruff. It's a minor scalp irritation, that's all. Xena
Joxer Talks About The Town In Danger
Well uh they thundered into town on horse back, cutting down everything in their path. I tried to stop them, but, of course, I was outnumbered. Up close and personal? One fist, but it was headed toward my face at the time.
Scythians are pure evil. Xena
The warriors will stop at nothing. They're tough and ruthless. Xena
Helpful Tips
Don't eat Joxer's cooking since you're likely to get sick and it won't be pretty.
Don't scratch since that makes your fungus worse.
Don't drink linseed root since it causes your mouth to go numb.
Beware of bushes since you may end up attacked by one.
Your horse may go to another person if they get apples.
Cover yourself in goat poo to heal the fungus.
Put linseed root on your skin to help with the fungus.
Sythia
An ancient region of Eurasia, extending from the Danube on the west to the borders of China on the east. The Scythians flourished from the 8th to the 4th cent. BC. They spoke an Indo-Iranian language but had no system of writing. They were nomadic conquerers and skilled horsemen. They seem to be related to the Saka, another nomadic tribe that roamed the steppes of central Asia at about the same time. The so-called Royal Scyths established a kingdom in the E Crimea before the 9th cent. BC. They seem to have maintained themselves as a ruling class while others (probably native inhabitants) worked the grain fields. The Scythians are traditionally associated with the area between the Danube and the Don, but modern excavations in the Altai Mts., particularly at the site of Pazyrk, suggest that their origins were in W Siberia before they moved E into S Russia in the 1st millennium BC. Scythian power was maintained in the 8th cent. BC in obscure warfare with the Cimmerians. The Scythians, considered barbarians by the Greeks, traded (7th cent. BC) grain and their service as mercenaries for Greek wine and luxury items. They invaded (7th cen. BC) upper Mesopotamia and Syria. They threatened Judah but never actually occupied Palestine. They also made incursions into the Balkan Peninsula, and a century later the mysterious campaign of Darius I against the, (c. 325 BC) an expedition sent against them by Alexander the Great. After 300 BC they were driven out of the Balkans by the invading Celts. In S Russia they were displaced (2d or 1st cent. BC) by the related Sarmatians, and part of their empire became Sarmatia.

A Tough Week
Not at their best
Searching for Argo
Going through swamps
Bugs and infestation
One with lice
A minor scalp irritation
So she claims
The other with a fungus
With a constant itch
Peeling off bits of skin
Green and red and on the move
Fighting with a fanged bunny
It was one tough rabbit
Stuck with radish stew
Didn't go down well
Feeling like Monday morning in Tartarus
Made it through a tough week
On the mend and Argo's back
Don't make me hurt you Scabrielle. Xena
All right Eczema. What are you gonna do?
Greek Fire: Oil that's been heated deep in the ground. In the wrong hands it can be very dangerous. Xena
Hey girl. It's me. I know I smell funny, but I had kind of a tough week. I know you've been mad. I know that you've been avoiding me. But I've come back and I'm never gonna let you go again. So lets get out of here, huh? I'm not giving up on you girl. Xena
The Secret Weapon
You know I'm a graduate of the Royal Athenian Academy of Cooking. I cooked for the king before he died. Here you go. Oh, a little for you. A little for you. A little more for you big fella. I was the cook for the royoal Trojan army. Their legendary flatulence had nothing to do with me, of course.
Make Up
I missed ya. I missed you so much. I promise I will never leave you along for that long again. I thought I was never going to get you back. Just one thing how did Aecustus win you over? Apples you left me for apples. Thanks pal.
Joxer's Generousity
You know Gabrielle, it's moments like that that make a warrior's life worthwhile.
Yeah Joxer the Mighty
Immune to all diseases
Oh, Joxer the Mighty
Never gets a fever

He's Joxer He's Joxer the...
Tough Week
This week's been tough on everyone, I guess. But you know I'm always there for you, and you're always there for me. Friends ooh I got all the friends I need.
A Good Day
Caesar and Pompey
Battling it out
Wanting that spark
That glorious war
Even if it destroys the land
Keeping them out of the way
Has a plan of her own
Taken them off the field
Fighting and chatting
Leaving them both
Fighting among themselves
The battle rages on
Full of bloodshed and death
The battle has ened
Finding their trooops
All dead on the ground
Lost in a very big war
War's a bitch
Don't Help The Romans
Destroy the village.
Raze it to the ground.
Kill all the cattle.
Poison the meat.
Leave nothing for the Romans to use.
Land must be worthless to them.
You can rebuild when you come back.
A Good Day
You want to know that what you did was for the right reasons. But with that pain in your gut and the weight on your shoulders the best you could come up with was that it was a good day of fighting. I've seen so many changes in you things that I never could have expected. But as hard as the changes have been, you've got to know it's for a reason. All this is for a reason. Otherwise what's the point? I was asking myself that same question when I met you.
The Forbidden
A terrible crime
That must be punished
Ten lashes for dancing
Banned in this town
Since it's forbidden
Wants to dance so badly
Everywhere there is a beat
New shoes for tapping
Decides to change the law
A little butt kciking
Along with some dancing
No longer forbidden
Dance all you like
The despair of winter is followed by the hope of spring. The infernal heat of summer abolished by a gentle autumn breeze. Life's brutal truths are softened by its tender mercies. Gabrielle
My writing has allowed me to express my most inner feelings. I don't know how I'd survive without it. Gabrielle
More hot sand. Touring the world is sure tough on the shoes. Gabrielle.
And so said Calliope the first among muses, and none shall dance before me nor in my house nor in my temples.
The Nine Muses
Calliope- Muse of Eloquence and Heroic Poetry
Clio- Muse of History
Eratro- Muse of Love Poetry
Urania- Muse of Astronomy
Euterpe- Muse of Ordinary Music
Polyhymnia- Muse of Religious Music
Thalia- Muse of Comedy
Melpomene- Muse of Tragedy
Terpsichore- Muse of Dance
Ever since I heard that it's not allowed, I never wanted to dance so badly in all my life. It just feels so good. Gabrielle.
I travel a lot. I don't want some half hearted patch job. I just want something that will last. Gabrielle
Helpful Tips
It's a good idea to have a spare pair of shoes since you could end up with the ugliest loaner shoes ever.
Having metal on the bottom of the shoe is a good idea since it lasts longer but it may cause you to want to dance.
Introduction Of Philipan
In the name of Calliope, on behalf of all the citizens of Palios and all righteous people everywhere, I welcome a great man and a great prophect to our city. Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Philipan the Reformer.
Xena's Intro
People of Palios I give you Philipan of Crete. Reformer of warlords, dancers, and evil people. It's even said that he once convinced the King of Thieves himself to do a good deed for no reward other than his own virtue.
Horse's Ass
King of Thieves that degenerate blowhard. Sinners like him never have the courage to be really successful. I'm sure he's a fraud and an idiot.
Philipan The Reformer
Good citizens of Palios heed my words. You know how it happens. It all starts with a tune rolling around in your head. Next thing you know you're humming at work ain't ya? Huh you've done it. You've heard it. We've all been there. And you know what your toe starts to tap and your heel followed by your knee 'cause they're all connected. You move on up and you start gyrating. The next thing you know you you just gotta let it hah hah. Trust me good peple for I know from where of I speak for I myself was on that rocky road to Tartarus. That's right brothers and sisters in my wild and mispent youth I too danced. Then an amazing event transpired the Goddess Calliope came into my life, and claimed it as her own. Praise her. Praise here. Praise her. That's right. That's it I know you can do it. Praise her.
I just wonder are you doing everything you can? Is it enough to simple eliminate dancing? What about singing, painting, flashy embrodiery? For shame! I'm telling you people extremeism in the name of piety is no vice. Give 'em up and praise her. Praise Callipe. Praise Calliope. Are you praising Calliope?
I see signs of decadence everywhere I go in this town. Do you realize that on my way here I saw two people holding hands. Do you know where that can lead?
The Reformer
Put on a disguise
As a favor
To seal the deal
Two pigeons were sent
Ruining his scam
Insulted by an ass
He plays his part well
Dressed in black
With a silly hat
Shows them a new way
In with the new
Out with the old
A new leader
No more narrow thinking
Xena's Wisdom
Runing away isn't a solution. It's what cowards do when they're not willing to stand up and fight for what they believe in.
The Art
All right now lets get this going. We're here to purify you. We're here to give you a little focus. Say it with me. Focus. Some of you think that dance is a way to express your inner feelings it's an art. Well Philipan has asked me to show you a real art. The art of war. The first move called advance of the perimeter ensures that anyone who gets in your face loses an arm, a leg, or a vital body part. Let us being.
Helpful Tip: Be careful when doing the splits. Instead you might want to do a flip.
I try not to overanazlyze my life like some people. Xena
Gabrielle's Wisdom
Some people say the unexamined life is not worth living.
Just because someone wrote that on a piece of paper doesn't make it true.
Giving A Massage
Don't search with your eyes.
Gabrielle's Defense
It was an empty threat. Look as violent as Xena was in those days there was a live even she wouldn't cross. This was a terrible waste of life but Xena, Xena has changed. If you're looking for perfection we all fall short.
She's Alive
I've been watching you since you came here Xena. At first I couldn't figure out what you were up to helping people, building that silly little shrine. And then I realized what I heard about you was true. You're trying to make up for all the evil things you've done. How pathetic! As if any of it could make up for what you did to me. You know Xena the thought of you has haunted me every moment of my life. Do you understand what that's like? Throw her in the pit. You finally have the punishment you sought but it's for a murder you didn't even commit. Don't you just love the irony.
Gabrielle's Wisdom
And if you continue to let that love be buried under bitterness and anger evil wins.
The Trial
A warrant for her arrest
Carrying the weight of the world
The death of an innocent
Goes back willingly
To pay for her crime
Sentenced to Shark Island
A most hideous place
Punishment she felt she deserved
No murder was commmited
Valasa is really alive
Saved her from the prisoners
Given a fresh start
Releasing the hate and anger
Xena is free to go
Helpful Tips: You have to show the rats who's in charge even if you have to bite into them and toss them aside. Speak in a firm tone. Don't show fear. Throw rat up to get the chakram so you can get the Tartarus out of that pit. A broom can be used for more than sweeping. It's pretty darn handy at beating on prison guards that so deserve it.
Xena On Forgiving Herself
Gabrielle that's not for me. I won't let that monster that I used to be the one sleeping so close to my heart destroy all the good I can do now.
Najara
Fierce in battle
Talks to the Djin
Sings slightly off key
Shows people the light
Fighitng against darkness
Gabrielle captures her eye
Hiding behind a mask
Traps her in her cult
Kills if you don't turn to the light
A complete and utter pyscho
Kicks some serious ass
Even up against a Warrior Princess
Danger and likes killing too much
Sent off to jail to rot
Great courage that can be a virture but only when it's used on the side of the light against the darkness. To capture and sell people is wrong. It's a shame for both the victim and those who profit from this evil. Slavery paves the path of darkness. We can offer you initiation into the way of the light. Let us help you.
Forgive those people. They're confused and misguided. Don't let hatred poison your heart. Now go to your homes and live good lives.
This must have been a very difficult time for you all. Don't carry it with you. Live life to its fullest. Seize every day as an opportunity to do good. And remember you're always free to turn to the light that drives away all darkness.
May the light illuminate your way.
To The Slave Traders
I want to forgive you and love you all as brothers but I can't do that unless you turn to the light. And there's no reason why you can't. We'll be glad to initiate you into the way. Just let the light in and the darkness will be gone.
Cults
Ritual observances involved in worship or, or communication with, the supernatural or its symbolic representations. A cult includes the totality of ideas, activities, and practices associated with a given divinity or group. It includes not only ritual activities but also the beliefs and myths centering on the rites. The objects of the cult are often things associated with the daily life of the celebrants. The English scholar Jane Harrison pointed out the importance of the cult in the development of religion. Sacred persons may have their own cults. The cult may be associated with a single person, place, or object or may have much broader associations. There may be officals entrusted with the rites, or anyone who belongs may be allowed to take part in them. The term cult is now often used to refer to contemporary religious groups whose beliefs and practices depart from the conventional norms of society. These groups vary widely in doctrine, leadership, and ritual, but most stress direct experience of the divine and duties to the cult community. Such cults tend to proliferate during periods of social unrest; most are transient and peripheral. Many cults that have emerged in the United States since the late 1960's have been marked by renewed interest in mysticism and Asian religions, but many others have had Christian roots.
Such major US cults as the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church and Hare Krishna, a movement derived from Hinduism, have stirred wide controversy. Cults' insularity and distrust of society sometimes lead to violent conflicts with the law. In 1978 in Jonestown, Guyana, followers of Jim Jones killed a US congressman who was investigating Jones, and then Jones and more than 900 others committed mass suicide. In 1993 a gunfighter near Waco, TX, between federal officers and David Koresh and his Branch Davidian followers led to a 51-day siege that ended in a blaze that left Koresh and 82 people dead. Other notorious cults have included the Japanese Aum Shinri Kyo, whose adherents were responsible for a number of mudres, including a 1995 nerve-gas attack in the Tokyo subway system that killed 12 and injured thousands; the Order of the Solar Temple, whose members died by murder or suicide in Quebec, Switzerland, and France in a series of incidents in the mid to late 1990's; Heaven's Gate, a group formed in the mid 1970's whose 39 members committed mass suicie in California in 1997; and the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, a millennialist Ugandan church, more than 900 members of which apparently died by mass murder and mass suicide in 2000

Initiation Into The Light Cult
Flowers can not blossom without the light of the sun. Nor can the human soul flourish without the warming glow of the eternal spirit. Gabrielle walke into the light and look no more on the darkness.
Helpful Tips
Be careful since things that seem too good to be true usually are.
Don't jump into something that you might end up regretting. Take your time before agreeing to join a group.
Your best friend may end up with a really bad ass kicking not to mention losing one of those good chewing teeth.
Got my butt didn't I? Well it serves me right for trusting someone who talks about being good all the time. Xena
Xena only kills when it's absolutely necessary. Gabrielle

Seems your zealotry is less scary than my dark side. Xena
Haunted
Can't shake the vision
Wanting to avoid it at all costs
Not sure if it's possible
Sees a way out
Leaves her behind
Though it grieves her so
For the best she thinks
Turns out not to be so
Finds out the truth
A pyscho holding her captive
Gives a good ass kicking
Loses a good chewing tooth
Has the same weakness
But it's also her strength
Ends up making things right
Gives as good as she got
Off they go together
Side by side where they belong
Quit preaching and fight. Xena
In the name of the light I smite down the darkness. Najara.
Got my butt whipped didn't I? Well it serves me right for trusting somebody who talks about being good all the time. Xena
A Vision
Flashes of the past
Blend in with the present
Using her tactics
Someone who was there
Failed at Corinth
A surprise at who it was
The loyal servant girl
Always with the ideas
Listening and learning
The birth of her chid
Who takes his first breaths
As his father takes his last
The truth was finally revealed
She was responsible for Borias's death
Helpful Tip: Don't assume a he is doing the trapping since it could very easily be a she.
How?
How is easy. I studied you Xena all those years you thought I was this poor defenseless little slave girl you captured from Damaes the truth is Damaes was my partner, my lover, my mentor before you came along. Oh Xena the moment I realized you were in command I was ecstatic. Of all the people I've studied you were the most complex, the most brilliant of the minds I've defeated this far. You see Xena I never did have that much in the way of muscle never but I am a survivor. And I have this incredible ability to put myself into my enemies heads so when I realized this was my one chance to learn from the best. That's why I couldn't allow you to see Borias that night. Oh yes the night your son was born. You had just taken the sanjra flower potion and Borias' army attacked. But you were focused on the power Alti promised. You shouldn't have left Corinth you could have taken it.
He Comes For Them
Before Alti before all this we had love Xena. Maybe we confused it with power but it was there is still there. For the sake of our son and us I'm taking you away.
In My Head
What's the matter are you having trouble getting inside my head right now? Let me help you. You killed Borias the man who could have changed everything for me if only I had have let him. You killed the father of my child and if he had have lived then maybe my son...Getting inside my head now huh. I won't taint Borias' memory by killing you. You're not worth it.
Funny thing about destiny, you can't ignore it, you can't rely on it. Gabrielle

Be care with your finger since waving it in front of a baby may prove to much of a temptation and you may end up getting bit.
Strong cheese and pickles aren't baby food.

Helpful Tips
Don't take your eyes off the baby since he'll just wander off and end up in a speeding chariot.
You should know the name of you weapon you have.
Just because it's a wooden chakram doesn't mean it can't be used.
Just throw it and you'll knock a person down.
Climbing up a tree to jump into the chariot is a good idea but don't jump too soon or you'll end up being pulled by the chariot.
While holding on keep your hands away from the face since that impairs the person's view that is sitting in front of you.
Don't poke a baby with a stick.
Change the end of the legend since it's not a good ending try will wet itself and drool on the floor or something like that.
Meg's Maternal Instincts
They just don't understand pumpkin. Well they can't possible know how it is. See what I had it wasn't so good. My father well he died when I was really young. My mom she tried hard but well it just didn't work. Well I was left along to do what I wanted. I made all my own decisions and I guess I wasn't too good at that neither. Things are gonna be different for you. You see that star. When I was a little girl I used to think that all those little lights came from houses in the sky and each one of those houses had happy family around a cozy fire and the lights came from all the open windows. I used to think that at every window there was a little girl just like me looking out at the other lights. I wondered what it would be like to be one of them. Well one day we're gonna be one of those little lights. That's a promise

Use a person as a weapon and knock them into other people. 
Xena With The Knowledge
The eyes of a child are innocent they can see the world in ways that we've long forgotten. Athena gave him the chance to learn and gain wisdom.
Athena made Cleatees young so he could see anew and she made Griffia old to teach her how to care.

You do you have a warm caring heart with a lot of love to give. Who do you think you're fooling huh you've got so much depth that it scares you when it comes out.

The Story Of Tyrella By Gabrielle
Once upon a time there was a sweet very young girl named Tyrella and she was happy even though she lived with her wicked stepmother the meanest most crankiest woman alive. "Palia come here sweetie." "Mommy look what my stupid stepsister did. She ruined my Calvinus Kleinus." "Tyrella." "Yes dear stepmother." "There's a creas in Palia's dress. Aren't you fogetting something?" "I swept the floor, washed the dishes, cleaned the attic, weeding the garden, and dug you a new well. I've been terribly busy." "Well get over it. You neglected your most important duty." "What could that possibly be?" "My clippings!" Tyrella's stepmother reached out with her long grotesque...Tyrella deals with her problems in a more positive way. "Mommy my stupid stepsister ruined everything." "Tyrella!" "Yes stepmother dear." "Can't you do anything right?" "There is nothing wrong with the dress. Your anger is misplaced. It's a convenient way to avoid your deeper emotions. The same way that your mistreatment of me and my belongings is your way to avoid intimacy. You both need to get into touch with your inner child." "Are you getting any of this?"
Aprhodite's Version
Here's what really happens. "If you can't take the heat boys tay out of my kitchen." "Palia where are you my vixen?" "Here mother I am dry as a lizard. Whee's the hagster to bring us some beverages?" "Good question." "Tyrella!" "love the outfit Tyrella." "Not!" "Hello you coo coo crazy chicks. I have a message from that royal hipster the prince." "Ooh the prince I knew I smelled money." The prince I knew he couldn't stay away frome me forever." "The prince wishes to invite all good looking chicks to his royal ball tonight. From those he's going to pick a bride. You dig!" "A bride!" "A royal party I'm so excited." "Ooh that chick is square baby." "Loser!" "Exsqueeze me what are you so psyched about? Honey the prince is looking for a babe not a heffer." Show 'em Palia." "Right mom!"
Gabrielle Cuts In
The men at Tyrella's house were swimming instructors. Well she really wanted to go to the party. See Tyrella didn't have anything really pretty to wear. Tyrella was hoping for a miracle.
Joxer Takes Up The Story Of Tyro
Well it was the night of the biggest party. Now he was very excited and his name was Tyro. "Tyro!" "Ow! Hello stepfather dear, stepbrother dear." "Tyro the clumsy strikes again." "It was an accident." "You were the accident. What's with that getup?" "Oh you like it I was sewing it all day for the royal ball tonight." "Well if that's the case those pants need adjusting right Palios?" "Oh you think I thought they might be a big long in the crotch." Palios gives Tyro a wedgie. "What do you say to your stepbrother?" "Thanks stepbrother dear." "Don't be an idiot, idiot. You can't wear that. You've got no way to get there. No social skills to speak of. In short you're not going."
No well I'm not much of a storyteller. I'm more a woman of action. Xena
Joxer's Story Continues
"Tyro the mighty. Kick a man when he's down." "I'm here to help. Course if you're not interested in going to the party then I can..." "No no wait I'd love to go
Spiritual Quest
Decided to go to India
Got into a fight
Some thugs came across their path
Cut by one of them
Smiled at the fight
Taking shelter in a cave
Gash in her leg
Hands like a sailor
Searching for answers
Going down a hole
Yoga
A general term used for spiritual disciplines used in Hinduism and Buddhism, and throughout South Asia that are directed toward attaining higher consciousness and liberation from ignorance, suffering, and rebirth. More specificially it is also the name of one of the six orthodox systems of Hindu philosophy. Both Vedic and Buddist literature discuss the doctrines of wandering astectics in ancient India who practiced various kinds of austerities and meditation. The basic text of the Yoga philosophical school, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (2 century BC) is a systematization of one of these older traditions. Contemporary systems of Yoga, such as those of Sri Aurobindo Ghose and Sri Chinmoy Ghose, stress that spiritual realization can be attained without the withdrawal from the world characteristic of the older traditions. Yoga is usually practiced under the guidance of a guru, or spiritual guide. Pantajali divides the practice of Yoga into eight stages. Yama, or restraint from vice, and niyama, or observance of purity and virtue, lay the moral foundation for practice and remove the disturbance of uncontrolled desires. Asana, or posture and pranayama, or breath control, calm the physical body while pratyahara, or withdrawal of the senses, detaches the mind from the external world. Internal control of consciousness is accomplished in the final three stages: dharana, or concentration, dhyana, or meditation and samadhi. Through such practices yogis acquire miraculous powers, which must ultimately be renounced to attain the highest state. In samadhi the subject-object distinction and one's self of individual self disappear in a state usually described as one of supreme peace, bliss, and illumination. A common feature of different traditions of yoga is one-pointed concentration on a chosen object whether a part of the body, the breath, a mantra, a diagram, a deity, or an idea.
Hindu tradition in general recognizes three main kinds of yoga ynana yoga, the path of realization and wisdom, bhakti yoga, the path of love and devotion to a personal God, and karma yoga, the path of selfless action. Other classifications exist. Pantjali's yoga is known as raja or "royal" yoga. Hatha yoga, which stresses physical control and postures, is widely practiced in the West. Kundali yoga especially associated with Tantra, is based on the physiology of the "subtle body," according to which seven major centers of psychic energy, called chakras, are located along the spinal column with the kundali, or "coiled" energy in latent form, located at the base of the spine. When the kundali is activated by yogic methods, it ascends the spine through the main subtle artery of the sushumma, "opening" each chakra in turn. When the kundali reaches the topmost chakra in the brain samadhi is attained.

Aidan's Way To Inner Stillness (AKA Turns You Into A Blue Statue)
Technically I guess you'd call it mind shifting matter. Oh no not just my mind you see breathing and meditational techniques the whole approach to..I'm babbling again.
Inhale. Exhale. Concentrate on the breathing. Who ever does but that's exactly where it starts from a single breath without breath there's no life right.
A small warning these breathing techniques the meditational techniques the whole approach to an inner stillness can stir up some thoughts and feelings you didn't even know you had some not so nice.
To really do this to reach that inner stillness you're going to have to clear a path and that means facing whatever comes up and releasing it.
Once you tap into that inner stillness you can do absolutely anything. You just envision it and make it real.
Here you can become what you really are deep down inside everyone does. You strip away all the layers and all that's left is your core self the real you.
There's one thing I've learned that anything that looks too good to be true usually is. Xena
Pure Essence A Radiant Light
If it's darkner instead of becoming stiller and lighter you become jumpy and a darkness starts to show inside you.
How It Shows
Changes in your appearance, mental lapses, delusions, spontaneous bleeding
It's all very unpleasant.
Xena's Thoughts
Just relax. We've come a long way the two of us. Lie down. And you taught me a lot about kindness and mercy and love. You've got a good heart Gabrielle. It's pure and it's honest and no one should ever hurt you. No one should ever hurt you. 
Gabrielle's Thoughts About India
India is so different and yet there's this connection too ya know. So exotic. So mysterious. So look maybe that's India's way of rolling out the red carpet. India is completely different. It's such a strange place.
Devi
Went to India
A strange and exotic place
Declared a Devi
The unexpected happens
An eye was restored
Given healing powers
What she most desired
Not as it seems
Possessed by a demon
But saved in the end by the real Devi
Eli's Story
When I was thirteen my father's best friend collapsed. He had chronic convulsions. I was left with him while my father went for help and all I could do was stand there helpless. So I reached out trying to calm him I guess. I felt this kind of white hot surge going through me and when I touched him it stopped. Whatever or whoever gripped him let go. He never convulsed again. I'm sorry if I tried to trick you but I searched so long I just thought that if your friend found a way to ease people's suffering maybe she could share it.
Some people see evil everywhere. Xena
Gabrielle The Devi?
Whatever this is it wasn't bad Xena how could it be it was beautiful. I healed that is all I've ever wanted to do. That is all I ever dreamed about doing. Now that I have this ability I think I understand that power the power to control life and death.
Tataka Evil Incarnate
Conniving little demon who converted hundreds with her sweet face and deceptive good works. She cured the sick and the deformed only to send them to the slaughter against the great God Rama. Oh she's a real gem duping people who need her. Yeah she's a real pearl.
Some things don't bear too much thinking about. Some things you just got to take on faith. Xena
"What we sow in this life, we reap in our future lives. This is our karma."
Karma
The doctrine of karma states that one's state in this life is a result of actions (both physical and mental) in past incarnations, and action in this life can determine one's destiny in future incarnations. Karma is a natural, impersonal law of moral cause and effect and has no connection with the idea of a supreme power that decrees punishment or forgiveness of sings. Karmic law is universally applicable, and only those who have attained liberation from rebirth, called mukti (or moksha) or nirvana, can transcend it.

Future Lives
Sent forward in time
To fight a battle
Defeating Alti once again
An interesting discovery
Destined to be the Mother of Peace
The way of the saint
With an old friend at her side
A man this time around
Warrior named Shanti
Together through many lives
Separate but forever connected
Karmas are intertwined
The mendhi is the path to enlightenment. Feel it don't try to understand it.
The blood of an innocent gives power to no one. Xena
Xena On Fear
It's like heat radiating from your victim but fear is a flaw Alti. A subtle human flaw given to us by the Gods so they can exploit us. You think it's wonderful to have that power but it's not.
Gabby's Philosophical Stuff
I love rivers. There's a certain inevitability to a river. Nothing stops it from finding its way.
Avatar: A deity in human form usually destined to save humanity from a great evil.
Everybody loses focus sometimes.
Nor just that I lost focus it's why. Xena
Maybe I was shown my future life for a reason. Maybe I'm supposed to change the way that I'm living in this life here and now but either way a warrior can not ask these questions in the heat of battle. When the kill is there you have to take it. If I can't do that I can't be a warrior anymore.

Gabrielle's Thoughts
Artists aren't supposed to care what the public wants. Gabrielle
No good playwright would have her art reduced to garbage for the sake of a few dinars.
A message means nothing if no one hears it. A flower in the forest is just a plant if no one sees it. We're going to need more blood. I want more skin. I want action. I want weapons. I want battlefields with beaten bloody bodies. We're gonna take this wallflower we're gonna cram it down their throats for their own good. It'll kill 'em all.

Gabrielle's Tip To Acting Like Xena
It's from the back of the throat it's much more gutteral. We have to believe the anger and the hatred for life ok. Now make the audience shiver.
You need to grin wildly like you can't wait to hack him into pieces before you chop his head off.

Gabrielle: Xena fearless, noble a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle how mahy lives have you saved by your warrior heart once you have learned to empty it..
Interactive Theater: Everybody join in.
Ah it was stupid to think that people would want to hear about peace love instead of sex and violence. Gabrielle
Well peace might be boring but it's all anybody really wants. Xena

First Kill
Joxer the Mighty
A warrior he's not
Though he likes to think so
Even has his own song
With a sword in his scabbard
Rarely used and never to kill
Everything changed one day
Killed a man to save a life
Haunted by what he did
Seeing the man he killed
Nightmares filled his night
Gabrielle's Smoke Compact
Xena that's the beauty of my new technique. I can distract them without hurting anyone best of all no killing.
Xena's Thoughts On Najara
New outfit, new religious, same old wacko beneath.
Joxer On His Life
It's alife you know my whole life. What kind of warrior kills someone and then has nightmares about it every night. That's it thought that's my point it's not natural. I killed someone so you know what that makes me?
Armand
The son of Kryton
Nurse told him stories
Of Kryton the Courageous
Very unlike the real man
Student at the academy
Gets the news about his dad
Out for vengeance
Wanting to spill blood
Finds out the truth
Wants Joxer as his first kill
Makes peace with it
Gabrielle On Fighting
It's funny but it seems when push comes to shove sometimes the only choice is to shove back but with this path that I'm on I can't do that.
Goddess Of Retributions
Discord's the name
Wanting to impress Ares
Looking for a killer
She likes it rough
Having fun with her nearly naked boys
Good in bed but hopeless in a fight
Out to have a little fun
Her patience is tried
Speeds things up
When the truth comes out
Argo's the killer
Did it in self defense
No one for her to impress Ares with
I don't do animals
A New Path
Met a man named Eli
Who changed her life
The Way of Love
Started to follow
No more fighting
Throwing the staff away
She found her path
Vows to keep trying
The First Disciple
High Above
Down he came
On his flying carpet
Snatched him up
Pushed him down
Swooped down again
Chased her down
Missed by a hair
He snatched her up
Off to Lanka they go
Krisna On The Way
(The Way Of The Warrior)
You have to embrace The Way. You're wrong you're very close to The Way now however missing it by the width of a hair is the same as missing it by the height of a moutinain. In your next life you will walk The Way of the Saint. However you will never achieve that life if you don't follow The Way you're on now. Yes you must not hesitate to fight in a just cause. It is better to die following your own way than to live following someone else's. When you ride into combat act wihtout attachment and carry with you the confidence that you are fulfilling your calling in this life then you will know The Way. Then go rise up like fire and burn all that opposes you and if you're following the path of The Way call my name and the strength to defeat Indrigid will be given to you.
Gabby's New Way
Xena do you think I could have understood the power of selfless love if it weren't for our friendship. No you and I stay together. All rivers run to the sea. We'll end up in the same place I'm sure of it.
Lost Scroll
Yoga didn't help
Can't escape her mind
One of her favorites
A newly written one
Examining their relationship
Through the prism of time
Unable to recreate the beauty and essence
She goes back for it
Opportunity to show on stage
Turns her scroll into a play
Didn't turn out as she planned
Best left in scroll form
And the very air sang with harmony as Xena lay down her sword and Humongous enobled by her gesture lay his down as well.
Play Excerpts
But Xena you've followed the violent approach in the past and what has come of it but more violence.
It helps if you memorize your lines and lose the scroll.
I didn't realize casting Gabrielle would be so difficult. There's this subtlety to the character. Gabrielle
You're right Gabrielle how could I have been so blind.
Flips will nail you the part of Xena.
Minya's Dream
I was born to play this role. As soon as I heard you were doing this I knew I was what you wanted.
Sophocles is the master of prose, of feeling, of plumbing the emotinal depths of human existence. Gabrielle
Play Excerpt
Gabrielle: So Remember Xena faith is not a jump in the night but a walk in the light.
Xena: Look it's King Whatsits approaching on his horse.
King Whatsits: Hello there friends Gabrielle and Xena. I seek your help. The warlord Humongous is behaving in a destructive way no doubt as a result of his impoverished uprbinging and societal factors beyond his control.
Humongous: I am the warlord Humongous. Are you Xena?
Xena: I am. Come sit down we wish to give you a message of peace.
How To ID A Bounty Hunter
1. No bounty hunter worth her salt would wear perfume of any kind. They'd smell her before she got close enought to pounce.
2. Tool's of the trade- Muzzles, leather bonds, mancles and chains
3. They never carry more than they have to.
4. They conserve supplies by drinking rain water.
Another Year Older
Gabby's birthday is coming
Planning a party
As a surprise throw it early
But she was delayed
Came into a murder mystery
After a few close calls
It was finally solved
On to the birthday cake
Having some well deserved fun
Gabby On Knives
I should tell you it's a little known fact that every sheath bears the grooves of the blade it holds and since no two blades are alike this knife can identify it's owner.
Joxer Protects His Family
Hey when I left her she was stained but standing. It was only later when I went back to that room to get that little piece of scroll. Stealthy as a jungle cat I crept around the room searching everywhere. Sure my brother Jett is a cold hearted merciless killer but family's family.
Sophocles said that plagarism is the sincerest form of flattery.
Helpful Tip: When snooping around in someone's bag make sure you put everything back in the right place so no one will know you were ever there.
Long Live The Queen
Fighting against the Romans
Was struck down in battle
Saving a life and losing her own
Died as a warrior
The Queen is dead
Gabrielle must take her place
Tricky with her new path
Needed to lead them into battle
When it was all over
She turned over the Queenship
With words of advice
Think of what Ephiny would do
When you need to make a decision
Honor her memory and carry on.
Xena's Wisdom
You think you can find your answers at the end of a sword well you're wrong. Find the answers inside yourself.
We're not afraid to fight or to die. Gabrielle
We don't kill just for the sake of it.
Amarice On Pretending To Be An Amazon
1. You need to dress the part. Look like a Amazon to become an Amazon.
2. Knowing how to fight is a big plus in being accepted. So invest in a good sword and for the Gods sakes know how to use it. A shiny blade with no nicks is a sign of being a total fraud.
3. Do your homework and learn the ways of the Amazons. Talk about your tribe and have stories ready.
4. Hook up with the Amazons and ingratiate yourself into the tribe. Maybe mention a tribe that sounds familiar. Give a pluasible story.
5. Be prepared to have someone find out your little secret at some point. You'll be lucky if it's someone like Gabby who will be discreet and add a bead to the necklace to make your status as an Amazon official since you have proven yourself.
6. Stay with the tribe since you can learn a lot from your Amazon sisters. You'll finally become what you pretended to be.
Amarice
In my tribe looking first is like giving a warning.
In my tribe we never need to defend we always attacked.
Amazon justice for a killer in my tribe...
Execution: In my tribe it took a long, long time, as the life oozed out of you they'd talk with you, ask how it felt.
I betrayed my Queen I know the price of that.
Kick butt and take names later.
I just keep coming back in that way I'm more dependable than your chakram. My Lord sees everything Xena and you don't have to go through with this. I can arrange it for you and Gabrielle and all her peaceful little friends to just walk out of here and no one gets hurts. And you and Gabrielle can live happily ever after. Well there is a little thing you have to drop your sword and join Gabrielle in fulfilling her life of loving kindness. That's because you haven't heard it all yet. I'm offering you complete serenity. There's a reason you can't allow you and your partner peace it's your guilt. It motivates everything you do. It torments you. Invite me into your soul. I can purge you of that guilt. I can cleanse you of that shame that drives you. I can give you peace if you let me. What's it gonna be Xena serenity and happiness or another ride in that wagon with your friend Gabrielle? Think of your vision.
Xena's Sticking To Her Way
You're trying to tempt me from my way by offering me peace. That guilt you're depending on put it all behind me. You see I know now what I have to do. I have to be the best warrior I can be. To redeem myself I have to fight evil with a sword and that's what I'm gonna do no matter what the circumstances.
Gabby Has No Regrets
I had a choice to do nothing or save my friend. I chose the Way of Friendship. Xena you brought out the best in me. Before I met you no one saw me for who I was. I felt invisible. But you saw all the things that I could be. You saved me, Xena.
Together Always
The vision came to pass
Each tied to a cross
A change occurred
Unable to bear
The sight of Xena being slain
On the ground so helpless
A sight most unusual
She picks up a sword
Killed right and left
Cries of stop were ignored
All of a sudden
She drops the blade
Together in live
So in death too
Don't give me that confident look. You're about to die like a slave and drag your friend with you and it's all right by me. Making Caesar dictaror was his main concern and once he's ruling making him an agent of my Lord will be easy. So while you lie her helpless he's declaring himself emperor.
Caesar's Final Words
Good senators, true patriots of Rome your attention please. I have an important announcement to make. To quell civil unrest I have decided to make an important change to our government. And I must supply the leadership so desperately needed. On this day the 15th of March I declare myself...
Past Lives
A huge fan of Xena
Believes in past lives
Once Xena she thinks
Goes to a past lives counselor
She gets quite a shock
Too disturbing for words
She starts to scream
Annie was actually Joxer
Further surprise in store
Harry her boyfriend was Xena
The vigalante at night
With Gabrielle the counselor
Ares up to his old tricks
Still wanting her after all this time
A fight ensues as usual
With yet another refusal
He goes away in a flash
Welcome To Who You Used To Be
Dressing the part isn't silly when going to a past lives counselor.
We encourage our clients to dress according to what they sense was a previous life. It often helps them make important break throughs.
The first past life voyage must be taken alone.
Close your eyes. Concentrate on your breathe. Focus on each and every breath you take. I want you to feel it enter through your nostrils and through your diaphram and releast it out again.
We're going to send you back back to that time back back back...Now on the count of ten I want you to find yourself in another place, another time, another body 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10
Don't forget to soul meld which is where you meld with your previous identity.
Clarify Remembrance
Become your breathe. Your breathe is your spirit and it's your spirit that will take you to a previous life.
On the count of ten we'll find ourselves in another body 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10
Reincarnation's Real!
This is a fine time to learn this reincarnation thing is for real. All this time I think I'm running a harmless little scam in fact I'm poisoning my karma. Look Marco taught me the hypnosis technique and I never thought I'd hurt anyone. Now I'm responsible for getting the two of you blown up this is a karmic catastrophe. I'm gonna come back as a worm no a cockroach. No, a TV evangelist.
Reincarnation
The occupation by the soul of a new body after the death of the former body. Beliefs vary as to whether the soul assumes the new body immediately or only after an interval of disembodiment. Although some religions teach that it may inhabit a higher or lower form of life, most believe that the soul is consistently reincarnated in the same species.

Pompey's Final Words
Wait! If you kill me Caesar gains control. You know it and I know it. That's the balance I give you Xena. It's always been like that. You may hate us both but without one you can't control the other. Now if you let me live well we can't destroy the world if we're trying to destroy each other now can we?
Helpful Tip: Be aware that what you say can come back and bite you on the butt.
In Hell
Paying for what she did in life
Makes Tartarus seem like the Elysian Fields
Tormented by the one she hates most
With a man obsessed with her for eternity
Hears about her mortal enemy's redemption
Slipping away from Hell's grasp
An offer is made by the Lord
Knock Xena off her path
Help Caesar become emperor
Gain the Lord's favor
Callisto Back To Earth
I know everything about your life Caesar what it's been and what it can be. I'm here to help you get everything you ever desired. It's through me you finally fulfill your destiny. I can give you ultimate power and free you from your greatest torment. Yes Xena I can't tell you how much we have in common that way.
Helpful Tip: If you don't fight throw a rope at the guy and knock him off his feet into the water. Six million dinars on your head is a temptation for every killer so be prepared to do some serious butt kicking. If you do bring in a head at least make sure it's a woman to make it more believable.
Xena On Caesar
Gabrielle he's an evil man and he's trying to kill me. I have to take him out or die trying. It's the Way of the Warrior.
An Old Enemy
Don't bother you've already done all the damage you can to me. Thanks by the way. I wanted to cease existing and you did your best to help but as you can see it didn't take. They wouldn't let me off the hook that easy. I don't know whoever it is who does the final judging. They sent me to a place that makes Tartarus look like the Elysian Fields. They call it Hell. The one who runs things down where I come from is very interested in what happens in this life. He figures Caesar will be very valuable to him and of course he also figures that you might be an obstacle. Ah you know about the emperor thing. My aren't you the clever girl. Yes some people will be unhappy but everybody has their price even the honorable Brutus. Caesar's gonna give him Gaul natch he'll be smiling. But it's you my darling it's you that I'm worried about. I'm here to make you an offer. Afraid you'll be tempted? I'll give you a little hint. Gabrielle is in Roman hands as we speak. Do I? My Lord gave me a thorgouh briefing as to what's happened to you and Gabrielle since the last time we met. I know all about India and Eli. Ah so you're not the only clever girl now Xena are you? Gabrielle's on her way to a Roman prison in Abanines as we speak. So about my offer. Oh but I'm not going anywhere Xena.
You've both lost what's left of your spongey minds. Right I'm going to take these wires that lead to the bomb and I'm going to cut them with my teeth. Annie
Not a chance Ares. It's not a grudge it's a difference between right and wrong, good and evil. You just never learned that lesson. Xena
Things To Use When Weapons Aren't Around
A lamp is good for poking and using in place of a sword.
A phone book is cut easily but you could throw the pieces at the person
An umbrella is really handy because you can block things that are thrown your way and you can hit them back.
A crystal is good for throwing at a person.
Annie On Joxer
And another thing I went back when Callisto had you two tied up and you know what Joxer saved your butts. I saw if from his point of view and you would never have gotten the chakram if he hadn't come in the way he did. He had the heart of a lion and a really, really big one too. And he was a very underrated fighter. Oh um Harry I've been aware for some time that you've been going into my underwear drawer at night and um it's nice to know it was in a good cause.
Life is eternal. It has no beginning and no end. The loving friends we meet our our journey return to us time after time. We never die because we were never really born. Gabrielle
