| | ... |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''She's gone now?'' |
| | *'''Natakas:''' ''Years ago. Same with my siblings. The Order. The last time we saw them was the last time I saw my sister Neema alive. What about you? What about your past?'' |
| | <tabber> |
| | |-|I'm much like you.= |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I never knew a true home, either. I grew up fending for myself, hoping there'd be a place out there where I'd feel, as you said, warm. I haven't found it.'' |
| | Natakas looked sad to hear this. |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''And anyway, I don't think it exists.'' |
| | *'''Natakas:''' ''We're shaped by our pasts, not defined by them.'' |
| | |-|Lie – I don't have a family.= |
| | </tabber> |
| | The two continued to stand watch overlooking the cliff well into the night. |
| | |
| | The next morning, Kassandra discussed the situation with [[Barnabas]]. |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''They're Persians, you say?'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Darius claims to have killed King Xerxes himself.'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''Ha! You don't believe that, do you?'' |
| | <tabber> |
| | |-|I believe Darius killed Xerxes.= |
| | |-|I don't believe Darius killed Xerxes.= |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I don't believe him. It's too wild of a claim, even for me.'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''And yet we've heard wilder claims that turned out true.'' |
| | </tabber> |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I don't know what to believe anymore. Darius says the Order of the Ancients are here to find me. The note he found mentioned [[Tainted One|others]]—'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''There are others like you?'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''If I believe him, there are. But how do I know that Darius isn't working for the [[Cult of Kosmos|Cult]], or in the Order himself?'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''You say he's heard you're a great warrior. Maybe he wants to use you to help him fight against this Order.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''If he's not one of them.'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''The simple question is, do you trust him?'' |
| | <tabber> |
| | |-|I trust Darius.= |
| | |-|I don't trust Darius.= |
| | |-|I don't trust anybody.= |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''It's impossible for me to truly trust anyone.'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''Ouch.'' |
| | Barnabas smiled at her unintentional deprecation. |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Except you, Barnabas.'' |
| | </tabber> |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''It sounds like you need to go back to these Persians if you want to know what's really going on.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Darius ''is'' hiding something, that much is clear.'' |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''Then be careful. Make sure whatever he is hiding isn't a trap.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I'll be as careful as I always am.'' |
| | She tapped Barnabas on the shoulder. |
| | *'''Barnabas:''' ''That's what I'm afraid of.'' |
| | Barnabas took his leave of Kassandra. |
