Kassandra pulled herself to her feet, finding fire around her, as well as [[Spear of Leonidas|the head of a spear]] lying on the ground. She took the spear, running through the forest with [[Ikaros]] flying overhead. Coming to a boat on the water's edge, she took it, pushing it out to see. A storm later destroyed the boat, and she washed ashore to be discovered by Markos.

Kassandra sought to collect Markos's debt to her from the merchantDuris. However, she had to save Phoibe first, who had been kidnapped by the Cyclops' thugs.
Kassandra made the trip to the Temple of Zeus, just in time to overhear a conversation between one of the Cyclops's thugs and Markos.
Brute:You're running out of time until the Cyclops comes for you, maláka. He wants his money.
Markos:Could I have an extension?
Brute:When he sails back to Kephallonia, he'll come and break you as soon as he docks. If you don't get it.
Markos:Now, let's be civil—
Brute:You can't hide behind your glorious misthios forever, Markos. He'll kill you, the mercenary, and that little runt girl that hangs around.
Markos:Of course! Not a problem! I-I'll get the drachmae!
Brute:Good. Or I'll come and watch the Cyclops feed you to his goats.
Kassandra walked up just as the thug departed.
Markos:Ah, Kassandra! I-I can tell from the smile on your face Duris has paid you your drachmae.
Kassandra:Who's smiling? I just heard where you got your drachmae for the vineyard. Are you out of your fucking mind?
Markos:We can get the money back! C-Can't we? I'm sure it's possible!
Kassandra:You've made an idiotic promise, Markos. One we can't keep.
Markos:I thought you were invincible.
Kassandra:Maybe I am. But you're not.
Kassandra:It will take a lot of work. And even then I'm not sure.
Markos:We have no option but to try!
Kassandra:Then you'd better be willing to help. I won't do all the dirty work.
Kassandra:We have no other choice now. We need a plan.
Markos:That's what I do best!
Kassandra:This'll take more than your usual tricks up your sleeve.
Markos:I long for the old days! Remember them? They were simple! You had nothing—young and alone—and I had everything. And I gave you the world! Kephallonia—in the palm of your hand!
Kassandra again was pulled back into a memory. In the memory, Kassandra recovered after being dropped from Mount Taygetos. She heard a voice calling out for her.
Kassandra pulled herself to her feet, finding fire around her, as well as the head of a spear lying on the ground. She took the spear, running through the forest with Ikaros flying overhead. Coming to a boat on the water's edge, she took it, pushing it out to see. A storm later destroyed the boat, and she washed ashore to be discovered by Markos.
Markos:Don't see fishies like you everyday, eh? You hungry? How about we make a deal? I do something for you, you do a few things for me... Everybody wins. Best offer you're gonna get! Think about it!
Young Kassandra:...wait!
As the memory faded with the pair walking off together up the beach, Kassandra returned to the present.
Kassandra:Kephallonia. Some gift.
Markos:You were nothing without Markos, and look how far we've come! From an orphan on the streets to a misthios with a hovel.
Kassandra:And now the Cyclops will take everything away. I can't protect you from him forever. He'll kill me too.
Markos:Oh, don't be scared of him! Look at you!
Kassandra:How could I go up against him? With what weapons? A rusty spear? A broken bow?
They were interrupted by Drucilla, a local bowyer.
Drucilla:There you are! Skulking around a temple won't save you from me, Markos.
Drucilla:I need that wood, Markos. These new bows will be the talk of the island. I can't make anything with those bandit malákes stopping the wood shipments.
Markos:Of course you can't. Why, I was just filling my friend Kassandra in on the details. She already has a plan to deal with these bandits.
Kassandra:You know me. Always prepared.
Markos:What did I tell you? She will leave no stone unturned.
Kassandra looked in disbelief.
Markos:She's the silent but deadly type!
Kassandra:I don't know what you're talking about.
Drucilla:Of all the fucking phonies, Markos!
Markos:Oh, she's just playing! It's a little game we have.
Drucilla:I don't care who does it, but someone better gut those bandits. Today.
Markos:A wonderful idea. I for one, ah, need to rush home. Kassandra, I've cooked up a plan for our Cyclops dilemma. See me when you have time.
Kassandra and Dricilla were then left alone.
Kassandra:If you want your wood, you'll have to fix my broken bow first.
Drucilla:Hmm. I usually only pay when the deed is done, but shit's moving at a snail's pace. Follow me.
As they departed to Drucilla's shop, they struck up a conversation.
Drucilla:There you go, good as new! That bow is as strong as Herakles himself. Give it a try.
Outcome
Kassandra freed Phoibe, learning that a mercenary named Talos had been sent after her. After confronting Duris, she learned Markos borrowed drachmae from the Cyclops to purchase the vineyard.
