Kassandra set down the basket and walked up to her partner, smiling. He turned to face her with a baby boy swaddled in his arms. He handed the baby to his mater, and she looked down at her son as she held him in her arms. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''How's my Elpidios? How's my son?'' | |||
Elpidios giggled with delight. Kassandra rocked him up and down and imitated his noises. | |||
*'''Natakas:''' ''He missed his ''mater. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''And she missed him.'' | |||
*'''Natakas:''' ''Promise me, Kassandra. This is our life. This is our home.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|Flirt – I chose this life because I love you.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Do you remember [[Makedonia]]?'' | |||
*'''Natakas:''' ''Of course. Walls of dust and flame, the [[Pactyas (Ancients)|Huntsman]]—'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I remember ''you'', Natakas. Only you. Home isn't a place—it's people. It's us. As long as we're together, we're home.'' | |||
|-|I chose this life to secure the bloodline.= | |||

They turned to look north towards the island where Kassandra's odyssey [[Kephallonia|began]]. | |||
*'''Natakas:''' ''You know, Elpidios... that's where your ''mater'' grew up. Kephallonia.'' | |||
Kassandra pointed to the cape where her old hovel stood. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Right... there. But it wasn't until I came here, until I met you... that I truly felt home.'' | |||
*'''Natakas:''' ''Kleta and [[Phila]], on the beach that day... They couldn't escape their fate. It ''always'' ends in blood... My family ran for so long... But maybe some things just can't be outrun.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|I will keep us safe.= | |||
|-|We will do our best.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''We never know what's coming next. All we can do... is what we believe is right, and deal with the consequences.'' | |||

Darius approached them. | |||
*'''Darius:''' ''This fight we have with the [[Order of the Ancients|Order]]—this [[Assassin-Templar War|war]]—it's not going to be won in my lifetime. Or yours. Maybe I was foolish to think it could be. But fate does not define us, our actions do.'' | |||
Kassandra handed Elpidios to his grand-pater. | |||
*'''Darius:''' ''Our Little [[Leonidas I of Sparta|Leonidas]] spoke his first word today.'' | |||
His parents were shocked. | |||
*'''Natakas:''' ''What?! I didn't hear—'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''That's not possible—what did he say?!'' | |||
*'''Darius:''' ''"Grand-''pater''." Or maybe he burped? It's hard to tell at his age.'' | |||
The young adults laughed at Darius' joke. | |||
*'''Darius:''' ''Who's my genius grandson? Who's just like grand-''pater'' Darius?'' | |||
Elpidios giggled. | |||
The family continued conversing. On the outskirts of the house, [[Orontas]] reappeared, a great deal of time after seemingly [[Safe Passage (Odyssey)|turning himself in]] to the Tempest, and observed the family from afar, with a small sense of contentment in his expression. | |||
*'''Orontas:''' ''Is there anything more beautiful than this? A simple life.'' | |||
At his side, a [[Persia]]n elite appeared and observed the family as well. | |||
*'''Orontas:''' ''Get word to Persia. Send the fleet. Send ''everyone. | |||
*'''Persian Elite:''' ''By your command... ''Amorges. | |||
The elite took his leave. Amorges glanced down at the scar on his left hand where Darius wounded him so many decades ago, which he had strategically covered while observing the stranded in [[Boura]]. He clenched his fist and looked back at the family with a smile on his face. | |||
*'''Amorges:''' ''I'll see you soon, old friend.'' | |||

Home was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
After ending the Tempest, Kassandra met with Natakas and Darius to bid them farewell.
With her mission complete, Kassandra made her way to the docks to bid farewell to Darius and Natakas. As she traveled, she ruminated on never seeing them again.
She reached the docks, and the men called out to her.
She approached them.
The ship sailed to the dock. The mother and child rescued from the Teichos of Herakles were among the boarding passengers.
The word "home" struck a chord with both Darius and Natakas. Their expressions dropped. Darius addressed Kassandra.
Darius nodded and made his way to the dock. Natakas and Kassandra smiled at each other.
Natakas walked to the dock with Kassandra following close behind. Darius shook Kassandra's hand and spoke warmly.
Darius walked towards the ship. Natakas smiled at her.
Natakas simply frowned and turned to walk towards the boat. As he walked further away, Kassandra's own sadness came to a head and she clenched her fist.
Kassandra marched after them and reiterated Kleta's words to her.
Natakas' frown instantly turned to a smile. He turned back to her.
At the house in Dyme, the days faded away as fast as they came, as the three busied themselves with household chores and meal preparation. On occasion, Kassandra and Darius would spar together while Natakas cared for a dog. In time, Kassandra and Natakas kissed on the rooftop in the moonlight and began a romantic relationship.
Some time later, Kassandra hummed her mother's tune while she maintained the Spear of Leonidas on the rooftop. On the deck below her to the left, Darius kept a watchful eye on the valley. He looked up at Kassandra and nodded before turning around.
She descended from the roof and joined him in the garden.
Kassandra smiled at him.
Ikaros soared above the valley, and Darius changed the subject.
He turned her attention to a basket.
They both smiled widely.
Kassandra picked up the basket.
She made her way down the hill to the first stall in the agora and set down the basket.
She gestured to the basket.
Kassandra set out for the wheat farm.
She reached the farm and addressed the farmer.
She grabbed the wheat and made her way back. A [woman?] called out to her.
Kassandra returned to the merchant.
Kassandra stood in wait against the stall's support beam. Eventually, the merchant brought what she requested.
As Kassandra walked to the basket, another civilian called out to her.
Kassandra picked up the basket of milk and bread.
Kassandra hurried home with the basket full of provisions. As she traveled the path back to the house, she exhaled at the beauty of her home.
She crossed the threshold and Natakas called out her arrival.
Kassandra set down the basket and walked up to her partner, smiling. He turned to face her with a baby boy swaddled in his arms. He handed the baby to his mater, and she looked down at her son as she held him in her arms.
Elpidios giggled with delight. Kassandra rocked him up and down and imitated his noises.
They turned to look north towards the island where Kassandra's odyssey began.
Kassandra pointed to the cape where her old hovel stood.
Darius approached them.
Kassandra handed Elpidios to his grand-pater.
