A Mother's Prayers was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
At long last, Kassandra was about to meet her mother Myrrine again. In the intervening years, much had changed, though much had remained the same as well.
Kassandra set sail to the southeast, away from Athens and towards reunion. While on the sea, Kassandra spoke with Aspasia.
Regardless, Aspasia pointed out their pending arrival.
As the Adrestia approached Naxos Island, Barnabas spoke to her.
The ship docked at Naxos and Kassandra disembarked. She made her way to the leader's villa and walked in to overhear a meeting between the leader and her generals, including Timo. Kassandra immediately recognized her mother's voice. Relief filled her and turned to excitement.
The generals took their leave and Kassandra held back to let them out. She then followed her mother out to the balcony, standing in the doorway in disbelief while Myrrine hummed a familiar tune. Kassandra stepped forward. Myrrine noticed her.
Kassandra drew the Spear of Leonidas and rested it in her hands. Myrrine heard the sound of a weapon being unsheathed and turned to face the misthios. She took one look at her face, then the broken spear, and knew instantly who she was.
Kassandra sheathed the spear with tears in her eyes as her mother rushed to embrace her.
Myrrine was equally stunned by this revelation, but knew in an instant Alexios' true fate.
Kassandra remained silent. Myrrine stepped back from her daughter in disbelief.
She grabbed Kassandra's arms and inspected her hands to make sure they, and therefore she, were real. She began to sob.
Myrrine composed herself.
The two asked questions of each other simultaneously.
Realizing they were talking over each other, Myrrine let her daughter go first.
Regardless, Timo interrupted the question and rushed to raise the alarm.
Myrrine turned back to Kassandra.
They ran to the horses tied up outside and mounted up to ride for the cove.
As they rode, the presence of Spartan soldiers was not lost on Kassandra.
They reached the cliff near the Temple of Demeter overlooking the cove, where Athenian soldiers had taken Spartan scouts prisoner. Timo and Hektor were already in position. Kassandra leapt into battle first and were soon joined by Myrrine and her reinforcements. Together, they freed the prisoners and slaughtered the Parian landing party.
Kassandra reached Naxos and reunited with her mother after seventeen years apart.
