Xena: "I understand why you think you have to do this. Yakut and Amarise were my friends, too.
Gabrielle: "Killing won't bring them back."
Cyane: "You saw what the Atman Dagger had to show us, Xena. Even when we try to live in peace, our enemies seek to destroy us."
Xena: "You say you're doing this for Yakut, but if you spill blood in her name, you doom her to spend Eternity paying for your sins. There's still time to save her. Yakut walks among us still. Isn't that right, Cyane?"
Cyane: "Yakut?"
Gabrielle: "Cyane?"
Amazon: "I don't understand."
Cyane: "She took an arrow that was meant for me. I was angry. Her life was worth more than mine. Why would she do something so foolish?"
Xena: "Because she loves you."

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: "Amazons! Amazons rule!"

It's over
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."

Cyane: "How could we have strayed so far?"
Gabrielle: "It doesn't matter now. Decide who you want to be, right here, right now."
Amazon: "We're not supposed to fight?"
Xena: "Only to save lives."

Gabrielle: "It's time for a new tradition."

From this moment on, we are the Amazons!
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!"

Gabrielle: "Eve, I bestow upon you my Right of Caste … (initiated with water, rather than blood) … Cherish it."

Thank you, Xena
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."
