What Dreams May Come was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Eivor placed the five shards into the pedestal inside the Cave of Gold and entered the mysterious passage.

Dialogue

Eivor returned to the Cave of Gold and inserted the triangle shards into the pedestal. As she inserted the last shard, the triangles immediately began to glow a bright yellow energy, which flowed through channels in the ground to the door. As the door powered up and gave off yellow-orange light, it hummed and opened as Eivor stood before it.

• Eivor: What a strange place. Who could have known this was on the Isle of Skye?

She stepped inside and traveled through the cave beyond until she reached another grand door surrounded by cursed villagers. After dealing with them, Eivor stepped towards the door and saw light fixtures around the room.

Distracted, Eivor failed to see a villager from an upper ledge behind her pick up a spear and throw it at her unprotected back. At the last second, a loosed arrow intercepted the spear in midair to divert it over Eivor's left shoulder, landing paces in front of her. Startled, Eivor turned and snarled on spotting her attacker, who drew his sword, until another loosed arrow lodged itself through his neck, killing him.

• Kassandra: Look alive! There are more coming!

Kassandra jumped down from her ledge and joined Eivor as both warriors were surrounded by cursed civilians. Eivor and Kassandra started to fight their cursed attackers.

• Eivor: I had this under control.
• Kassandra: Under control? Looks like you were about to get skewered.
• Eivor: I can defend myself. You didn't need to come.
• Kassandra: Admit it. You missed me.
• Eivor: Let me rephrase that. You shouldn't have come.
• Kassandra: I know my presence make things complicated...
• Eivor: These people are attacking me because of you.
• Kassandra: I know, I know! Can we talk about this once they're dead?

Eivor and Kassandra defeated the cursed villagers.

• Kassandra: I should have been honest about my presence activating the artifact. I'm sorry. And I know me being here makes reaching the artifact harder.
• Eivor: Harder? No one would be trying to kill me if you weren't here right now.
• Kassandra: I know! But trust me, you will need my help once we reach the artifact. These people are nothing compared to its power.
• Eivor: I'm not getting rid of you, am I?
• Kassandra: Don't worry. I'll grow on you.

Kassandra turned her attention to the mechanisms.

• Kassandra: I've seen mechanisms like this before. I'll get the light working. You direct the beams to those plates near the door.

On some scaffolding, Eivor found a letter.

Letter Regarding a Locked Door

That strange voice in my ear gets clearer and louder the closer we get. It would be maddening if it weren't promising great riches and wealth.

For now, though, I must open this door. Once I figure out these ancient mechanisms, the treasure will be at hand.

Eivor helped Kassandra and noticed she could move the globe mechanisms.

• Eivor: So I can move these. I see.

Eivor directed one of the beams into one of the plates beside the door, powering it up.

• Kassandra: One down, one to go.

Eivor and Kassandra gaining access into the inner vault

Eivor powered up the other plate with the second beam, opening the door.

• Kassandra: There! It's opening!
• Eivor: Finally.

Kassandra and Eivor walked through the doorway, only to see shields and helmets from both Sparta and Athens.

• Eivor: Those pots and weapons are so strange.
• Kassandra: They're from my land.
• Eivor: What are they doing here?
• Kassandra: It's an illusion caused by the artifact.
• Eivor: And you being near it?

Eivor and Kassandra exploring the inner vault

As both continued on, Eivor took notice of a mask, unaware of its significance.

• Eivor: That mask looks unique.
• Kassandra: I've torn many of those masks from the faces of cultists. Even knowing they're illusions, to see all these things from my... my...
• Eivor: Home?
• Kassandra: I don't have a home. Not anymore.

Kassandra observing the wooden figurine belonging to her old friend, Phoibe

Eivor and Kassandra continued walking until Kassandra stopped upon spotting a wooden figurine of an eagle. Eivor turned back to see a shocked Kassandra collapse to her knees in grief.

• Kassandra: That can't be... Phoibe.

Caught up in her emotions, Kassandra remained kneeling. Eivor spied the artifact in the final chamber, then turned back to talk to Kassandra.

• Eivor: Kassandra, what are you doing? Come. You said yourself all this is just an illusion.
• Kassandra: I need a moment.

Eivor stepped into the final chamber and cautiously approached the artifact. She took note of its true shape, a pulsating silver sphere, resting on a pedestal. Steadying herself, she grabbed it with both hands, and the artifact instantly glowed as a voice whispered in Eivor's ear.

• Unknown: Honor our blood long after we're gone...

Eivor screamed in pain from the artifact's power coursing through her.

• Eivor: Kassandra!

Kassandra helping Eivor to contain the Apple's energy

Kassandra came to her senses and rounded the corner, running at full sprint into the Apple's chamber. As Eivor collapsed to the ground holding it, Kassandra slid beside her and also placed her hands on it to help absorb its energy. In doing so, it created a ghostly golden phantasm behind Eivor and Kassandra. Eventually, the artifact's energy ran out, dissipating the phantom, and the two women could finally stand on shaky feet. Catching their breaths, Eivor looked approvingly at the now inert artifact.

• Eivor: (sigh) All that trouble for this?

Eivor handing the Apple to Kassandra

Kassandra shrugged.

• Eivor: (breath) You keep it.

Eivor handed the Apple to Kassandra as both chuckled at what happened. Both warriors walked out of the vault.

• Kassandra: Admit it, we make a good team.

We doI didn't need your help

• Eivor: You're not so bad to work with, after all. Terrible at following orders, though.
• Kassandra: Give me a little credit. It's my first time working with another person in... I don't know how many years.

Eivor grumbled in halfhearted gratitude.

• Eivor: I could've handled it myself.
• Kassandra: Please, I practically saved you.
• Eivor: For a foreigner, you're certainly as stubborn as a Norseman.

Kassandra laughed.

• Kassandra: I might have become stuck in my ways after working alone for so long.

Eivor stopped in place thinking, letting Kassandra walk ahead of her.

• Eivor: That must get lonely.
• Kassandra: It does, from time to time. But it's the path I'm meant to walk. Anyway, I should get going. It's not good for me to stay in one place long. Thank you for your help. Truly.

Kassandra bid farewell to Eivor, who walked forward to stop her.

Eivor inviting Kassandra for a drink

• Eivor: Wait. The Norse celebrate their victories. And since in the end, you did help... Why not come out for a drink with me?

Kassandra winced in painful memory.

• Kassandra: I... I don't know about that. It's not really good for me to be seen by too many people.
• Eivor: If everyone drinks enough, no one will ever know you were here.

Kassandra shook her head happily.

• Kassandra: All right. What can it hurt?
• Eivor: Hopefully your head tomorrow morning if we have a great time. Meet you at the longhouse in Kiltaraglen?
• Kassandra: See you there.

Kassandra waved off as Eivor smiled at the prospect for a night out.

Outcome

Eivor and Kassandra found the artifact and fixed the nightmares, effectively ending the plague across the island.
