Goddess of the Hunt was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Nothing got Kyra's blood pumping like the thrill of a hunt - and Kassandra. To see if the misthios was as good with her bow as she was with her words, Kyra invited her on a little hunting expedition.

Dialogue

Kassandra returned to the Porphyrion Cave looking for Kyra. She asked Praxos where she was.

• Kassandra: I'm looking for Kyra.
• Praxos: Not here. Gone hunting. Wants you with her, she said.
• Kassandra: I'm in. Where is she?
• Praxos: Praying to the gods for a good hunt. The Altar of Artemis. East from here, on the north bit of Tavern Point.
• Kassandra: Thanks.

Kassandra set off for the altar. As she drew close, she heard Kyra praying.

• Kyra: Keen-eyed Artemis, guide my bow.
• Kyra: I pray to you with all my heart that Kassandra doesn't scare off the animals with her heavy footsteps.
• Kassandra: I thought I was being quiet.
• Kyra: If that was you being quiet, we'll have nothing but trampled grass to eat for dinner.

Kassandra complimented the altar.

• Kassandra: Nice altar.
• Kyra: The flowers remind me of sweeter days.
• Kyra: But your real concern should be, how skilled are you with that bow?

The gods don't "guide my bow."Not as skilled as you.

• Kassandra: I don't need to pray to the gods to hit my targets.
• Kyra: They've been known to disguise themselves as animals. I just like to warn them I'm coming.
• Kyra: Because I always hit my targets.
• Kassandra: Sounds like a challenge.

• Kyra: Come. the ibex is swift. We're not going to catch any by standing and chatting.

The two traveled to the hunting grounds.

• Kyra: There's a spot down here where I used to hunt as a young girl. It was hunt or starve in those days.
• Kassandra: Same for me. I started by catching and cooking rodents.
• Kyra: Ha! They make a good soup. But look how far you've come.
• Kassandra: How far we've come.

They reached the hunting grounds.

• Kyra: There. Isn't it beautiful?
• Kassandra: It is. Now show me how you use that bow.

Kassandra shot and downed an ibex.

• Kassandra: this was a great idea. I'm glad you invited me.
• Kyra: I'm glad you accepted.

Kassandra took down another.

• Kyra: Artemis smiles on you.
• Kassandra: Tell Artemis I've got my eye on someone else.
• Kyra: Don't make her jealous!

Kassandra took down a third, which provided sufficient viands for the rebels.

• Kyra: My people will be well fed, and the gods will have their sacrifice, thanks to you.
• Kassandra: You're a great hunter. Why did you actually want me here?
• Kyra: Don't be naive. There's something between us, even though I know I shouldn't act on it.
• Kassandra: Because you love Thaletas.
• Kyra: Or at least I thought I did... until you arrived.

They smiled at each other.

• Kyra: The hunt clears my mind to reflect on the words that passed between us.
• Kassandra: Is that a good thing?
• Kyra: I know a spot down by the water. It's quiet. We'd be alone. What do you say?

(Flirt - "Let's go to the beach.")

• Kassandra: I'm all yours.

They headed for Kyra's spot on the beach.

• Kyra: Delians have suffered for so long. This is the first time I've felt happiness since the war began.
• Kassandra: You can bring that to your people. These islands deserve peace - so do you.
• Kyra: And what about you? When this is all done, we could always use another set of capable hands.
• Kassandra: My journey isn't over yet, but I may settle down some day.
• Kyra: You can do many things, misthios. But settle down? I'm not so sure.
• Kassandra: Another challenge?
• Kyra: Stop looking to the future to be happy, when true happiness is right in front of you. You taught me that.

They reached the spot. They spent the night drinking, laughing, and sharing stories. Kassandra wrapped up one of hers.

• Kassandra: So, the pirate has one blade at my throat and one at my stomach, and he says, "How do you want to die, misthios, fast or slow?"
• Kyra: My gods, what did you do?
• Kassandra: He was so focused on me, he never noticed my spear in his leg. He was dead before he knew what happened.
• Kyra: His leg?
• Kassandra: A little trick my mater taught me.
• Kyra: Why is it so easy to talk with you?

We've lived similar lives.It's the wine.

• Kassandra: Wine always helps loosen the tongue.
• Kyra: It does.

• Kyra: I want you, Kassandra. Here. Now. Under the stars.

Flirt - I want you, too.I don't feel the same.

• Kassandra: I've wanted you since I laid eyes on you.

The two made love under the stars. The next morning, Kassandra stood and stared out at the sea.

• Kassandra: Mykonos is definitely my favorite island.
• Kyra: And you're my favorite misthios.

(If players chose "We should tell Thaletas.")

• Kassandra: Thaletas should know about this.
• Kyra: He will. In time. For now he needs to focus on the rebellion.
• Kassandra: So do we.
• Kyra: But first...

Kyra pinned Kassandra to a nearby stone column and kissed her passionately. (If players chose "We should keep this to ourselves.")

("No.")

Trivia

• Completing this quest locks out Thaletas' Hearts of War-quest, and vice versa.
