Kings of Sparta was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
To reclaim the citizenship and their home, Kassandra met the Two Kings of Sparta, Archidamos and Pausanias.
Dialogue
Kassandra met Brasidas outside the palace of the two kings.
- Brasidas: There you are. I can take you in to see the kings when you're ready.
(If players asked "What should I expect?")
- Kassandra: What do I need to know before I go in?
- Brasidas: That's right. You've never had an audience with the two kings.
(If players met Pausanias during [quest with Myrrine at statue of Leonidas])
- Kassandra: I've met Pausanias.
- Brasidas: King Pausanias. Really.
Brasidas explained their rulership.
- Brasidas: Kings Pausanias and Archidamos share rulership. Impress them both, and your home will be returned to you.
- Kassandra: I didn't expect this to be pleasant.
(If players asked "Who is Pausanias?")
- Kassandra: What can you tell me about Pausanias?
- Brasidas: He's young. Don't mistake his smile for kindness - as with all kings, those who cross him learn to regret it.
(If players asked "Who is Archidamos?")
- Kassandra: What should I know about Archidamos?
- Brasidas: Archidamos is... a traditionalist. Not one to back down from a fight. He's also got a temper. Try to stay on his good side.
(If players chose "I'm ready.")
- Kassandra: Waiting won't make this easier.
- (If players have not completed a task for the kings, Brasidas cautions them against entering without a gift)
- Brasidas:
Brasidas beckoned her to follow.
- Brasidas: Then let's go. You're mother's already inside.
They entered. Kassandra spied two men in finery smacking spears against each other.
- Kassandra: Where are the kings?
- Brasidas: There.
Brasidas pointed to the two men who were fighting. They were Kings Archidamos and Pausanias, the former of whom had knocked the other to the ground and held a spear to his throat.
- Archidamos: What do you say now?
- Pausanias: You made your point, Archidamos. I yield.
Archidamos helped Pausanias to his feet.
- Archidamos: Another two squadrons to Boeotia, then. As I said.
- Kassandra: Is that how they solve arguments?
- Brasidas: Sometimes.
- Myrrine: Archidamos's guard has improved. He should thank me.
Archidamos turned his attention to Brasidas.
- Archidamos: Brasidas! You've come with news. Let's hear it.
- Brasidas: My kings, may I present Myrrine, descendant of Leonidas, and her daughter Kassandra.
- Archidamos: How dare you show your face in Sparta.
(If the player fulfilled a task as a gift for the kings) [May also depend on the outcome of Monger Down.]
- Brasidas: Kassandra helped me secure Korinthia, my king. She helped with the helot rebellion. They want what's best for Sparta. I beg you to listen.
- Pausanias: Let's hear what they have to say before we bloody the palace floor.
- Archidamos: Speak, Myrrine. Why are you here?
- Myrrine: I have returned to reclaim my Spartan citizenship. To reclaim our home.
- Archidamos: You exiled yourself. Your daughter killed an elder and ran.
- Pausanias: Not to mention the crooked nose she gave you.
- Myrrine: My family was betrayed, my king. Sparta was betrayed. We've come to expose these traitors.
- Archidamos: You haven't cared for Sparta for many years.
- Kassandra:
Kassandra said nothing and stepped forward to her mother's side.
- Myrrine: What you say is true. But I swear by the two gods my intentions are pure.
- Archidamos: Myrrine has made her intentions known. What are yours?
- Kassandra:
- Kassandra: My intentions are to return home. Here. Where I was born.
- Archidamos: What happened on Taygetos brought shame on Sparta. You and your family have no home here.
Regardless, Pausanias proposed a remedy.
- Pausanias: First, prove yourself loyal.
- Pausanias: Bring glory to Sparta, and redeem yourself in the eyes of the gods. Until then, neither you, nor your mother, have a right to your lands.
- Kassandra: Tell me what I must do, and it will be done.
- Archidamos: The Spartan army fights the Athenians in Boeotia. Join the commanders there. Come back victorious, or do not return.
- Kassandra: You expect me to win a war when your own troops can't?
- Archidamos: My troops will crush any army under Helios. And if you want your home back you'll go to Boeotia and mind your tongue.
Kassandra turned her gaze downwards.
- Archidamos: Good, you're learning.
- Kassandra: Consider the battle won.
- Archidamos: Spoken with the confidence of a child who hasn't seen real war.
- Archidamos: You will find my commander at Mt. Helicon. Give him this and tell him I sent you.
- Pausanias: Not so fast.
- Pausanias: Two kings. Two tasks.
- Kassandra: And what would you have me do? Conquer the rest of the world?
Archidamos laughed.
- Pausanias: I'd leave the conquering to Archidamos.
- Kassandra: Herakles completed twelve. Two shouldn't be a problem.
- Archidamos: First Spartan thing you've said all day.
- Pausanias: The Olympics will be starting soon in Elis, and our fighting champion requires an escort.
- Kassandra: You want me to be an escort?
- Pausanias: I want you to make sure the Spartans return with a wreath.
- Archidamos: That's how she'll bring glory to Sparta? By winning an event in the Olympics?
- Pausanias: Not an event, my king. By making sure Sparta wins the entire Olympics.
Kassandra rubbed her forehead.
- Kassandra: Perfect.
- (If the player did not complete a task as a gift before entering)
- Archidamos: One last thing. When you come asking a favor, it's customary to bring a gift.
- Archidamos: But you didn't. So now, I will choose your gift for you.
- Archidamos: A wolf has been attacking farmers on the Dioskouroi Peninsula. People say it's King Lycaon himself, cursed by Zeus to live out his days as a wolf.
- Kassandra: I will kill this animal and bring you its head.
- Pausanias: You have your orders. We'll see you when your tasks are completed.
- Archidamos: If they're completed.
- Kassandra: I'll get them done, and you'll give us back our home.
- Pausanias: There's some Spartan left in you after all.
- Archidamos: Brasidas, show them out.
Brasidas bowed and led the women out of the palace.
- Archidamos: Next?
Outcome
After a tense audience with the Kings of Sparta, Kassandra was given her tasks to make amends for her actions 17 years prior, and to restore Myrrine's claim to their lands.
Trivia
- Failure to complete a task for the kings before meeting them in the palace will result in the player having to hunt the Lykaon Wolf as an additional requirement. Normally Daphnae of the Daughters of Artemis requests the player hunt this, and several other animals, as part of a long side quest. However, Daphnae only wants the pelt; the player will claim both the head of the wolf and the pelt as quest items, for Archidamos and Daphnae respectively.
