Xena: "She (Yakut) asks that you see the truth. Be guided by it. Retrieve the lost wisdom of you past!"
*** The Varanas see a group of Tretomlecs in a field and rush to attack them. The women make no move to defend themselves. The men stop dead in their tracks when the ground begins to shake and a fierce rumbling sound approaches. Cyane and her sisters attack on horseback.Cyane: "How could we have strayed so far?"Cyane: "Amazons! Amazons rule!"
Samsara: "We've got them on the run. Let's keep going. We can slaughter them like sheep now."
Hyppolita: "No. We've beaten them. It will be a long time before they're able to threaten anyone."
Samsara: "But, they're …"
Hyppolita: "I said 'no'. It's over, Samsara."Cyane: (to Kor) "Go. Lead your people. Show them a better way."
Gabrielle: "It's time for a new tradition."
Gabrielle: "Eve, I bestow upon you my Right of Caste … (initiated with water, rather than blood) … Cherish it."
Hyppolita: "Tretomlec women … I propose a new mission for us … in honor of our lost fathers, sons, brothers and husbands, we take no more men into our tribe, but dedicate our lives to helping others. I say we lay to rest with our beloved men the name Tretomlec, and embrace the name given to us by the Atman. From this moment on, we are the Amazons!"
Yakut: "Thank you, Xena. You saved my people and me." - Ascends into the Land of the Dead. |
Gabrielle: "... And so, the Amazon legacy - to temper might with mercy -- was restored thanks to the innocence of a child and the wisdom of Xena."
