Cast of characters:  Xena, Gabrielle, Eli, Indrajit, Krishna, and Hanuman.  The conclusion of Xena and Gabrielle's journey through India. "The Way", where we find that Eli has gone beyond being just a Devi to becoming an Avatar, who is hunted by Indrajit the King of Demons.  Gabrielle and Xena reach the conclusion that they are on two different ways of life, but both lie together and are forever intertwined.  I put up again both some short versions of the longer clips to try to satisfy as many fans as I can.  I will try to do this whenever I can to provide those who like the short clips for their desktop sounds and the longer ones for those who wish to have the feel of the episode.  I hope you enjoy it.

  3. Eli- You know I was jealous of you.  Gabrielle- Me?  Eli- When I thought you were a Devi...you seemed to have the power to heal people.  That thing I sought after all my life...I envied that.   Now I have this power to heal people and cast out demons...give people hope and it terrifies me.   230kb wav or 180kb mp3
  4. Eli- He's not a man at all...He's the incarnation of evil itself.   Gabrielle- Is that supposed to make me feel better?  62kb wav or 49kb mp3
  5. Eli- No, no...don't!!  Indrajit- There now that wasn't so hard was it?  You're in my world now little girl.  I got her to cave with a simple illusion.  Your disciple gave into the first temptation.   Let's see how you do Eli...  You feel the pain, don't you?  That's your curse...you feel everyone's pain.  Eli...I could arrange it so you may never have to look on human suffering.  I could surround you with joyous, happy people.  Save yourself and this girl...join me.  No?...then she dies.  686kb wav or 518kb mp3

  10. Gabrielle- What's the matter?  Xena- It's this wound...that demon should never have gotten a blade on me.  Gabrielle- Xena, you're only human...everybody loses focus sometimes.  Xena- It's not just that I lost focus...it's why.  A few days ago I saw my future life... you saw it too.  I'm destined to be reborn as some kind of saint.  Gabrielle- That's wonderful isn't it?  Xena- Yes...but if I've already earned that karma...can I still mess it up?  Maybe I was shown my future life for a reason.   Maybe I'm supposed to change the way I'm living 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.  674kb wav or 525kb mp3
  11. Gabrielle- What is the Truth?  Eli- So you really wanna know?  Gabrielle- Yeah...  Eli- It's life, but we must revere it wherever we find it.  To bring peace to this world, I have to teach mankind a reverence for life.  Gabrielle- So...if someone were to walk up to you and knock you down...  Eli- Then I'd get up.  Gabrielle- But if they knocked you down again?  Eli- Then I'd get up again, if I could.  But under no circumstances would I fight back.  If I did, I would simply be perpetuating the cycle of violence that has ravaged the earth for centuries.  That cycle has to be broken and Gabrielle, and the Truth...is that it can only be done through non-violence.   GabrielleSo that's the Truth.  553kb wav or 438kb mp3

Gabrielle- You've known others?  Hanuman- Only one.  If I were you...I would take Eli to the great temple and ask for Krishna's help.  Xena- Krishna?  Hanuman- The supreme personality of the godhead.  He will know how to handle Indrajit.  As long as Eli stays in the temple, he'll be safe.  Xena- The great temple it is then.  579kb wav or 455kb mp3

Listen to me!   Please listen!  Listen!  Listen to me!  Thank you for your concern.   It means a great deal to me, but I will not have you fighting in my defense.   The only reason I've been able to help you...is that because in your hearts you're as innocent as children.  If you were to do battle with Indrajit, it would not only do harm to your bodies, but your soul as well.  I'll be alright.  Xena- He's right...you must go to safety...Hurry!  Now!!  531kb wav or 420kb mp3
