Twilight of the Gods

   AALIYAH

Samsara's deal with Morpheus is put to the test. Her newfound powers put her in league with the Olympians and she demands access to the gates of Mount Olympus, but she must first contend with the apocalyptic visions that now flood her mind. Is Teloq in danger? Meanwhile, Xena's child begins to worship the Great Destroyer. Sexual violence and subtext.

   MARTYR, PRINCESS OF THE BLOOD

Aaliyah has fortold the future, dooming the Olympians to Death and the world to a new order. The question is: whose new order will it be? Eve comes to realize the error of her ways and struggles to move on from being the disciple of the Goddess Kakistos. Meanwhile, Athena wages war against Xena in hopes the Warrior Princess will deliver her child and end the prophecy that is to befall the Olympians.

   EVE OF DESTRUCTION, RETURN OF HOPE

Xena's power to kill gods has dwindled. The remaining Olympians now attempt to hunt her down, in hopes that by killing Eve themselves, the prophecy will die with her. Unfortunately, their energies are spent in the wrong direction. Gabrielle's child Hope returns and intends to raise Dahak from the ruins he fell into. It's up to Kaia and Samsara to stop her from infecting Teloq and up to Xena to kill the Child of Darkness once and for all. Gratuitous violence and gore.

   APOCALYPSE NOW

Xena, Gabrielle, Kaia, and Samsara must band together to stop the return of Dahak. The unlikely team must learn how to work together despite bad blood if they are to save the world from Dahak. A new era has begun in the world, now these four must decide whose order it is: the God of the Jews or the God of Darkness.
