	Later, Nikolaos decided to follow Kassandra's advice, interrupting a duel between her and Stentor, who sought to avenge his 'death'. Nikolaos told Stentor that Kassandra had done nothing wrong and encouraged him to act like the leader he had trained him to be, claiming that Stentor would become a better commander than he ever was. After again catching up with Kassandra, who informed him that she had found Myrrine, Nikolaos warned her about a shadow growing across Sparta and wished that the [[Greek mythology\|gods]] watch over both her and Myrrine.

	When the Spartans succeeded in breaking the [[blockade of Megaris]], Nikolaos requested to meet the ''misthios'' in person, waiting on the edge of a cliff. The ''misthios'' revealed herself as Kassandra, having survived her fall from Mount Taygetos years ago and having been hired by Elpenor to kill Nikolaos.
