==Description== | ==Description== | ||
Having helped [[Brasidas]] defeat his doppelgänger, a manifestation of his hubris named the [[Bane of Brasidas]], Kassandra had to confront a painful truth before Brasidas could enter Elysium. | |||
==Dialogue== | |||
Once again being tested by [[Hades]], Kassandra and Brasidas make their way towards the [[Forest of Oizys]]. | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Here's the forest. Now what?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Hades told us the dead would point the way.'' | |||
Kassandra noticed a corpse hanging from a tree. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Dead... But not pointing anywhere.'' | |||
She examined the corpse a little more closely and it started to move. The corpse pointed towards the west and the two [[Sparta]]ns headed off further into the Forest. Going up a flight of stone steps has led them to a large tree with a woman's corpse hanging from it. The corpse spoke when it noticed Brasidas. | |||
*'''[[Lilaira]]:''' ''I've been waiting for you.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Who are you?'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''I am Lilaira, and you are Brasidas. General. Conqueror. Hero.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Hades sent me to find you.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''So you've finally come to reunite me with my love. [[Charon]] carried us along the [[Styx|river]], but we got separated. Bring my love to me, and I'll tell you all I know.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Where must I go?'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''Between the [[sulfur]]ic pools and the [[Village of the Condemned]], there is a cave. My love lies within.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''This task is mine. I will go.'' | |||
Brasidas headed off immediately, leaving Kassandra and Lilaira alone. Kassandra had some questions for Lilaira. | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|Tell me about yourself.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''So... Been here long?'' | |||
|-|Tell me about Brasidas.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''You speak like you already know Brasidas.'' | |||
|-|Tell me about your love.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I can't imagine spending eternity without those I love. You must be in great pain.'' | |||
</tabber> | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''I'll tell you all... if Brasidas succeeds.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''What do you mean "if"?'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''The weight of the past can be a much heavier burden to carry than we realize.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I should go find him, he might need my help.'' | |||
Kassandra went off towards the cave in hopes to find Brasidas before anything regrettable could happen to him. After some time, she had finally reached the [[Cradle of the Underworld]]. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''This must be the place.'' | |||
As Kassandra traversed the cave looking for Brasidas, she noticed the seemingly fresh corpses of soldiers along the path. She would eventually find Brasidas standing in front of an metal door. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''There you are.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''What's wrong? What is this place?'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''The Cradle of the Underworld. Little ones who died too soon are kept here. The dead cannot enter.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The dead can't enter, eh? Well, let's see about the living.'' | |||
Kassandra made her way through the Cradle of the Underworld as she looked for Lilaira's love. As she trekked through the wreckage and rubble, she heard a baby's cry. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Where's that crying coming from?'' | |||
Delving further into the cave, she passed by some urns. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''So much death in these urns. It's a graveyard.'' | |||
Squeezing through a hole in the wall, she found the source of the crying. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''A baby's urn. Her love... was her child.'' | |||
As she closed the gate to the Cradle of the Grave behind her, she saw Brasidas fighting soldiers and assisted him in taking them down. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Brasidas!'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''What did you find?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''After. We need to get out of this cave first.'' | |||
As they hastened their retreat out of the cave, they encountered more soldiers. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Just like old times, eh Brasidas?'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Gods how I've missed this.'' | |||
More soldiers appeared to stop them. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Victory is close.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Victory, then [[Elysium]].'' | |||
When Kassandra and Brasidas reached the exit and had wiped out the remaining soldiers, they finally had time to talk about what she found inside the Cradle. | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''And? What did you find?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Ashes. Her love was her baby. Why would Hades have you return the ashes of a woman's child?'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I don't know.'' | |||
Brasidas returned to Lilaira shortly before Kassandra did. When Kassandra made it back to the large tree where Lilaira hanged, she found Brasidas on his knees holding his head. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''What did you do to him?'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''The past was too much for him to bear.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Brasidas, talk to me.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I... can't.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|⚔️Tell me what happened or else.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''What did you do to him?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Tell me what you did to him, or I will cut you down from that tree and - '' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''And what? Hurt me? There is nothing you could do that Brasidas the Butcher hasn't already done.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The Butcher?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Brasidas, you didn't.'' | |||
|-|You've suffered enough.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Please, I know you've suffered... still suffer. Tell me what happened, and we'll leave you alone.'' | |||
</tabber> | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''We were a quiet village before the Spartans came. My husband was no warrior.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''He looked Athenian.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''Our land was occupied by Athens. Our men were trained, supplied with armor and weapons in case of invasion. We never thought that day would come.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''When the battle was over, Spartans flooded the village, drunk on victory and blood. They torched our homes.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Your husband attacked me in the street.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''He was protecting his people, his family. But Brasidas butchered my husband. And when I tried to protect him, he tossed me aside.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''My love didn't survive the fall.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I didn't know.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''So we named him Brasidas the Butcher. He massacred my people and took everything from me. I found my husband's sword and ended the pain.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Is this true?'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I don't know what... happened.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|Spartan honor was responsible.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Sparta hands weapons to children and tells them "to hold your [[shield]] is to hold up Sparta."'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''The same Spartan "honor" destroyed my family.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Come Brasidas, let's leave this woman alone.'' | |||
|-|War was responsible.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''War is chaos. If you want to point fingers, point them at [[Ares]].'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''The [[Greek mythology|god]] of war didn't run his sword through my husband, didn't throw me and my child to the ground. Brasidas the Butcher did.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Come, Brasidas. There's nothing more to be done here.'' | |||
|-|You, Brasidas, were responsible.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''You torched a village. This woman was with child. I don't see your code of honor in any of this.'' | |||
*'''Lilaira:''' ''I've told you all I know. Now leave me.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Come, Brasidas.'' | |||
</tabber> | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''"Honor the gods. Honor Sparta. Keep your oaths, and Elysium is yours." I made an oath to protect the innocent, and I broke it.'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''Still feel you deserve to walk the fields of paradise, Butcher?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Don't call him that.'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''Why not? That woman's entire village does. What's left of it, anyways. You Spartans really know how to torch a village.'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''You never answered my question. Say the word and Elysium is yours.'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Help me, Kassandra. I... I don't know what to do.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|You belong in Elysium.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Brasidas, you were a friend like no other. You lived and died with honor to the gods and to Sparta. And you kept all your oaths to me. If anyone deserves to walk the fields of Elysium, it's you.'' | |||
|-|You should stay in the underworld.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Brasidas, you were a friend like no other. But, after hearing that woman's story I... If I had done those things, I'd have to stay and make up for what I'd done.'' | |||
</tabber> | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|If Brasidas was convinced= | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I lived by a code of honor, and now in death I've done what you've asked. I will go to Elysium.'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''Ah yes, your father's code. What was it? "Honor the gods, honor Sparta," blah, blah, blah. I did everything in my power to prove you failed to live up to that code. But I suppose ''someone'' helped to convince you otherwise. Your decision's been made. The fields of Elysium are yours. But know this. I never make a mistake. You'll be the only one in Elysium who doesn't belong there.'' | |||
Hades passed the urn with the ashes of Lilaira's daughter to Brasidas. | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''The moment these ashes leave your hands is the moment you'll find yourself in [[Tartaros]] forever. Now say goodbye.'' | |||
Brasidas raised his hand. When Kassandra approached to shake it, Hades waved his hand and Brasidas disappeared in a cloud of glowing lights before the two could say goodbye. | |||
*'''Poseidon:''' ''I suppose not all Spartans are as predictable as you thought.'' | |||
Poseidon suddenly appeared, walked towards Hades, held out his hand expectantly, and Hades tossed him a coin, having apparently lost their bet. Kassandra shook her head and left. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Goodbye, Brasidas.'' | |||
|-|If Brasidas was not convinced= | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I want to stay. I don't belong in Elysium. It is for the honorable. But after everything that's happened, you've made me realize I've lost my honor. I've lost my place in paradise.'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''Is this your final decision?'' | |||
Brasidas nodded. | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''Excellent. And I have just the task for you. The Cradle is now open to you, Brasidas. You will spend eternity reuniting families separated by war. Do you accept this fate?'' | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''I do.'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''Good. Now say goodbye.'' | |||
Brasidas looks to Kassandra. | |||
*'''Brasidas:''' ''Thank you for everything you've done for this old warrior. Thank you for being a friend.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Goodbye Brasidas. It was good to see you.'' | |||
After Brasidas had left, Kassandra's attention turned toward Hades. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''You knew he would stay all along didn't you?'' | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''I had a feeling. Want to know a fate worse than death? An eternity without toys.'' | |||
Poseidon joined Hades and Kassandra. | |||
*'''Hades:''' ''There's nothing more predictable than an "honorable Spartan."'' | |||
Poseidon tossed Hades a [[coin]]; Hades had apparently won their bet. | |||

After reflecting on his life's actions, Brasidas decided which afterlife he felt he belonged to and accepted his fate. | |||
==Behind the scenes== | |||
For Brasidas to believe he should be in Elysium, players first need to have chosen "You fought with honor." when the two face Brasidas' hubris made manifest in the preceding memory "[[Kill Me Once, Shame on You]]". To convince him to enter Elysium in this memory, players should be encouraging and choose "You belong in Elysium.", not blame Brasidas or Spartan honor. | |||

Fallen from Grace was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
