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

Description

After learning the Kingfisher was Agapios's brother, Kassandra headed to Skyros for a final confrontation.

Dialogue

Kassandra set sail from Euboea and made her way along the southeastern coastline to reach the dock at Skyros. En route, she was engaged by pirate ships. At least one stood out to Barnabas, indicating it was no ordinary group of raiders.

• Barnabas: That's no pirate ship... It's the Cult!
• Barnabas: Battle stations!
• Kassandra: They're coming from Skyros. Of course the malákas Cult's involved with The Dagger...

The ships were no match for the Adrestia. Kassandra's crew sank them and they continued to the dock on Skyros. She found the Magistrate and his men already engaged in battle with The Dagger's forces.

[Misthios, you've arrived, Agapios has run on ahead, yada yada yada]

Kassandra advanced into the city, and aided the Magistrate's men in defeating The Dagger occupants.

• Kassandra: The Dagger won't go down without a fight.

She made her way up the hill to the Temple of Achilles, where the Dagger's leadership had assembled.

• Kassandra: I hope Agapios hasn't done something stupid...

Outside, she heard a pilgrim pleading for entry.

[Temples closed, get lost before I rearrange your face, blah blah blah]

Kassandra slew the men and as she approached the altar, she overheard Agapios pleading with his brother Neritos.

• Agapios: Please Neritos, this isn't you.
• Neritos: Oh, you know a lot about me, do you little Robin?
• Agapios: I know who you were. My brother's not a killer.
• Neritos: Then take a closer look. We are not who we were.

The brothers seemed to ignore Kassandra as she approached them.

• Agapios: So, this is what's become of my brother? You've clawed your way back from Hades, back to life, only to take the lives of others?
• Neritos: Not from Hades, little Robin. From the ocean floor. Poseidon remained silent as I drowned. I saved me. ME. There are no gods - only mortals. Know that, and you'll know everything you need to rule this world.

The Magistrate of Euboea joined the scene.

• Agapios: Not everyone wants to rule the world. Some of us just want to live in it.

The brothers noticed their company.

• Neritos: Ah, a misthios.
• Kassandra: Kingfisher.
• Agapios: No! His name's Neritos! He's not just some codename you can cross off! He's my brother! He's family!

Family matters.All that matters is his guilt.

• Kassandra: Family is all that matters.
• Agapios: Yes! Yes. No one has to die here.

Agapios turned to Neritos.

• Agapios: Listen, brother. Please.

• Kassandra: Family or not, that man is the head of The Dagger. He's caused a lot of suffering. For that, no one gets a pass.

She considered a moment.(May depend on Nikolaos' fate in The Wolf of Sparta.)

• Kassandra: ...Not even pater.

• Neritos: You've been a slave, brother. But the world is my slave. Its wonders. Its wine. Its people.

He turned his back to the others, stepping to the wall.

• Neritos: We could be master's together. We were always meant to fly, little Robin.
• Magistrate: Agapios! You can't trust the Kingfisher. Think of what he's done to our people. Think of the lives he's ruined!
• Agapios: He's my brother! I can save him. I know I - I can save him. Please, master, misthios, there's no need for violence.

Only you can save your brother.Your brother can't be saved.

• Kassandra: You know him better than anyone.
• Agapios: When we first met, you said I could trust you. Thank you for trusting me.

Agapios walked to Neritos, to stand by his side on the wall, looking out over Euboea.

• Agapios: Neritos. Brother, remember when we were young when we'd run through the streets of Chalkis?
• Neritos: Father chasing us...
• Agapios: He couldn't catch little birds, so little birds we became.
• Neritos: The Robin and the Kingfisher...
• Agapios: We can be again. Skyros, and Euboea, and The Dagger... We can leave them all behind.
• Neritos: And never return?
• Agapios: We can fly.

Neritos smiled, and raised his hand to apparently pat Agapios' back. Kassandra smiled.

• Neritos: Then fly little Robin, fly.

Neritos pushed Agapios off the wall.

• Kassandra: No!
• Magistrate: Agapios!

Kassandra and Magistrate rushed towards the brothers. Neritos stepped closer to the edge, looking down at Agapios.

• Neritos: Goodbye, brother.

He addressed everyone in the area in loud voice.

• Neritos: The Dagger is mine! The Greek world is mine! No one will take that from me. Not my brother and not you, misthios.

• Kassandra: Look around you, Agapios. Skyros is already drowning in blood! Neritos brought violence to Euboea's shores long ago. We're past negotiating.
• Agapios: When we first met, you said not all mercenaries were cutthroats. That I could trust you.
• Kassandra: So trust me now. He's not the boy you remember. He's not Neritos.

Neritos turned back to face them.

• Neritos: I always preferred "The Kingfisher".

Agapios faced him.

• Agapios: You have no right to that name. That belonged to my brother... and he's dead.

Forlorn, Agapios sighed.

• Agapios: ...I have no one.
• Neritos: You have no one?! Who did I have?! I - I washed away, got lost at sea... But I found my way home. And what was there to welcome me? Father dead, and you... a slave. A SLAVE! I crawled out of the fucking ocean! I was strong, but you? You were the one who died, little brother. No, I had no one. So I made my own family. My brothers. The Dagger.

Neritos drew his sword. Agapios cowered.

• Magistrate: Misthios...
• Agapios: Brother, no. No, don't do this!
• Neritos: Perhaps you'd like to meet them?

Agapios withdrew as Kassandra and the Magistrate prepared to fight.

Neritos summoned his men to attack, and Kassandra and the Magistrate fought them.

• Neritos: Kill the misthios!

Kassandra slew Neritos.

• Kassandra: The Dagger ends, now.
