ORPHAN OF WAR

Xena enters centaur territory. We hear her called "Destroyer of Nations." There is a boy named Solan who believes that Xena killed his father Borias. The boy is Xena's son! But she's not there to retrieve him. She's there to keep someone named Dagnine from something called an Ixion stone. We see the flashback where Xena gives up the "son of Borias." He still doesn't know she's his mother. (He thinks his mother is dead.) Dagnine finds out that Xena has a son. Soon, they capture him and Xena sets out to the rescue. She snags the cage key from Dagnine. A fight! Xena and Solan fall into the Ixion cavern. Solan breaks his arm. Solan learns about Borias. The Ixion stone contains evil and can cause the holder to become an evil centaur. Gabrielle shows up with the centaur who has been father to Solan and they pull them out of the cave. Dagnine finds the stone. He melts it down, drinks it (ouch), and turns powerful. Solan learns to lose his hatred for Xena. The new Dagnine attacks -uglier than ever. He boasts of killing Borias! Xena defeats him. Solan decides he isn't a warrior. Xena departs -never telling Solan that she's his mother.
