Xena, a mighty warrior and healer, once led a band of outlaws that terrorized all of Greece. She has come to regret the harm she caused and, with her companion Gabrielle, now travels the countryside seeking adventure and fighting the forces of evil in Xena:Warrior Princess seasons 1-6 DVD

I have been thinking a lot of the war between God of War & Battling Bard of Potedia. They both want to win over Xena. Ares seducing her to the darkside, and be his Warrior Queen to rule the world. Gabrielle showing her the life of meaning.

Also don't forget the most biggest Season that lead Xena to the dark. The third season, so many deals were leading different ways. In Xena:Warrior Princess DVD , Xena's life was in danger that she killed Hope, she will be dead by the fates. Gabrielle's deal to him, that if she killed Hope, she be cut by the Fates itself. Gabrielle saved Xena's life by falling down to the lava pit

Ever since Gabrielle first met Ares things were getting hecked it, Ares want Xena so badly but there is certain someone holding him back Gabrielle protecting Xena from her darkside.
