Ties That Bind


SYNOPSIS:

Xena has returned to Amphipolis to find that a mysterious warrior claims to be Atrius, her long-lost father. Xena wants nothing to do with him - he abandoned her as a child and she will never forgive him. He tries to win her over by word and deed as they take on the warlord Kirilus. It soon becomes clear that Atrius is actually Ares who is trying once again to win her over to his side; when she refuses, he threatens to kill her but she says she'd rather die than lead his army. Furious, he leaves but Xena knows this isn't the last of the God of War.
