Kassandra:What do you know about this man in Amorges' inner circle?
Darius:Dimokrates. Drachmae is his weapon of choice. If we kill him, the Order's ability to influence the Greek world will be severely damaged. His death will bring us one step closer to Amorges. To Elpidios.
Kassandra:Drachmae can be as deadly as any other weapon. I should know. Enough of it can kill anyone.
Kassandra:I like drachmae. But it can't buy the kind of edge my blades provide. Not when I'm driven to find my son.
Darius:There's only one problem regarding Dimokrates.
Kassandra:What's that?
Darius paused, then spoke flatly.
Darius:I don't know what he looks like.
Kassandra:Then we'll have to listen closely when we approach.
Darius and Kassandra waiting at the ruins
Darius led on to the watchtower, where they lay in wait. Night fell, and the meeting got underway.
The Order representatives approached the Cult guard.
Darius:The Order has arrived...
Cult Guard:You're late.
Order Representative:We arrived precisely when we meant to.
Darius:Remember, once Dimokrates shows himself, we kill him.
Kassandra:Or we can kill everyone...
Darius got into position as the meeting continued. The gathered entourage began moving away from the palace as they spoke.
Cult Guard:I'm assuming you've brought what we need.
Order Representative:About that. We're not sure we're giving you any more.
Cult Guard:You don't make that call. This is the way it's always worked—you provide the drachmae. We have the weapons, the Spartans, and the war. You get what you want. We get what we want.
Order Representative:Not anymore. You need to prove to the Order you're worth what we're paying.
They stopped halfway down the hill.
Order Representative:I know your entire organization have allowed themselves to be pinned and mounted by this misthios and her pet bird. Consider this your final chance to do your duty and back us up in Messenia.
Cult Guard:You clearly don't know the Eagle Bearer. And who are you to throw away our alliance? As far back as Xerxes, we've been working together towards peace.
Order Representative:Peace? Don't lecture me about peace. You're the ones who've plunged the Greek world into endless conflict for your own benefit. You think we don't know?
The representative spat in contempt.
Order Representative:Amorges was right. How far the Cult of Kosmos has fallen. The value we've given to this alliance, I'll never understand.
Cult Guard:I should kill you where you stand!
Order Representative:Think very carefully about what you're about to do.
Cult Guard:Gods strike you down, Dimokrates! Gods strike you down... You just keep paying, and we'll keep our end of the deal.
Order Representative:This meeting is over.
Cult Guard:So we continue the arrangement... Dimokrates?
Kassandra had eavesdropped long enough to identify the blue-robed representative, who had done most of the talking, as Dimokrates.
Kassandra:That's him. That's Dimokrates.
Kassandra stalked after him and his entourage after they had parted ways with the Cult guards. They approached their horses.
