Yakut: "Welcome, Xena. We've been expecting you."
Amarise: "Let me guess, she saw it in some kind of vision."
Yakut: "In fact, I did."
Xena: "It's good to see you again, Yakut."
Yakut: "Come, we have much work to do."Yakut: "Your child is being drained of it's Life Force in the Spiritual Realm."
Xena: "Tell me what you saw."
Yakut: "The entity that stalks your child, Xena, bears the mark of the Shamaness. You know who it is, don't you?"
Xena: "Alti."
Gabrielle: "But Xena killed Alti."
Alti: "I want to tap into the heart of Darkness ... the sheer, naked will behind all craving ... the hatred ... and violence. I'll become the face of Death itself, capable of destroying not only a person's body, but their soul."
Yakut: "That's why she can only attack her in the Spiritual Realm."
Amarise: "Wait a minute -- I'm still a little confused on this whole ‘Spiritual Realm' thing."
Yakut: "Nature's composed of several planes of reality, Amarise, and they're all united by one thing -- the mind."
Amarise: "Oh, yeah, that explains it."
Yakut: "Think of it this way -- in the day, when you're awake is one reality; at night, when you dream, is another. And, what all these realities have in common is your awareness of them."
Gabrielle: "How do we kill someone we can't see?"
Yakut: "Xena is preparing to do battle with Alti in her realm, but I'm afraid in her condition she won't win."
Gabrielle: "Then I guess I have to convince her to let me go."
Xena: "No! I have seen Alti rip the hearts of people I love. I'm not going to take that chance with you."
Gabrielle: "Xena, we don't have a choice. I was there in India. I know who we're dealing with."
Xena: "I may not have the strength to stop Alti, Gabrielle, but I can stop you."
Gabrielle: "Xena, I love your baby like it were my own. I will do anything I have to to fight for its life. And I deserve that chance as much as you do. Let me."
Xena: "Looks like you're going to learn the ways of the Shamaness sooner than I thought."
Xena: "The ritual of crossing over ... to do battle with Alti on the Spiritual Plane, you must be unified with one who has recently passed over. Chose a creature of the forest. This being, killed with the ceremonial dagger of a Shamaness, will be your bridge to the Realm of Souls."
Yakut: "Just as daughter becomes mother, the student becomes the teacher. Their strength will be their unity. Their courage will be their god."
Xena: "Give me your hand. The stag's blood mingled with your own will carry you to the other side. My blood mixed with yours will be your link to the Physical World. When you drink, you will begin to cross over. Carry the dagger with you. On no account should you let go of it. It's our only chance to kill Alti in the Spiritual Realm. If we can destroy her there, we destroy her soul."
Gabrielle: "I understand."
Xena: "Remember, don't let go of the dagger."
Gabrielle: "I won't. Xena, don't let go of me."
Xena: "Never."
Alti: "Xena's little bitch ... welcome to the doghouse."
