[[File:ACOD Where It All Began 7.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra confronting her brother]] | |||
Kassandra drew her spear, giving up on seeing any possible redemption for her fallen brother. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I tried saving you once, and it cost me everything. But you, you are beyond saving. You will not survive the mountain this time.'' | |||
As Myrrine fell on her knees, the two siblings then fought their final fight. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I tried to save you.'' | |||
*'''Deimos:''' ''Stop living in the past, sister. Your death is now. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''You've hurt this family for the last time.'' | |||
*'''Deimos:''' ''Oh, but that's where you're wrong. The hurting has only just begun.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Stay on your guard.'' | |||
*'''Deimos:''' ''So disapointing.<br />The spear of Leonidas was wasted on you.<br />Who trained you? ''Mater? Pater?''<br />You should have trained with the Cult. Would have made this fight more interesting. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Soon you'll be dead, and so will your precious Cult. This is for the lives you've destroyed! This is for Brasidas! And this is for Phoibe!'' | |||
[[File:ACOD Where It All Began 9.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra killing Deimos]] | |||
As the fight reached its climax, Deimos was beaten and grew weary. He slowly staggered up to Kassandra to attempt to continue fighting. This proved futile, as Kassandra dodged his attack and stabbed her brother in the neck with her spear. She then forced Deimos over to the ledge. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''No one will save you this time—'' | |||
She looked at her brother one last time, with a pained expression on her face. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''—brother.'' | |||
She then kicked Deimos off the the edge, sending him down the cliffs of Mount Taygetos for the second and final time to his demise. | |||
[[File:ACOD Where It All Began 12.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra catching her mother]] | |||
*'''Myrrine:''' ''Alexios!'' | |||
She ran up to the edge of the cliff. Kassandra had to catch her to prevent her from falling off. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' Mater. | |||
She then embraced her mother.<br> | |||
{{#tag:tabber| | |||
Kassandra did not promise to bring Alexios back.= | |||
Kassandra mournfully told her mother that the man who was slain moments ago died as Deimos, not Alexios. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''That wasn't your son.'' | |||
Myrrine, understanding that Alexios' fate was sealed the moment the Cult got their hands on him, apologized for making an impossible request for their family to be reunited. | |||
[[File:ACOD Where It All Began 14.png|thumb|250px|Kassandra and Myrrine leave the mountain]] | |||
*'''Myrrine:''' ''I'm sorry.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''I know, mater.'' | |||
*'''Myrrine:''' ''From the moment I first held you, I knew. You're sent by the gods to protect this world, and you did.'' | |||
Kassandra smiled briefly, in light of their recent tragedy. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Come, let's go [[Old Home|home]].'' | |||
Myrrine nodded. They then walked together. Myrrine still held a saddened expression on her face while Kassandra looked back in the direction of the cliff, where her brother met his end. | |||

Kassandra promised to bring Alexios back.= | |||
*'''Myrrine:''' ''You promised you would bring him home.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''He was never coming home.'' | |||
*'''Myrrine:''' ''Your broke your word. Now when I look at you, all I see is death. I want you to leave Sparta. Go!'' | |||
Kassandra could only give a voice breaking response in shock to her mother's request. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Leave Sparta?'' | |||
*'''Myrrine:''' ''And never come back.'' | |||
Heartbroken, Myrrine then walked away, wanting nothing to do with her only surviving child. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' Mater... | |||

Deimos angrily walked around, contemplating.

Myrrine then took Alexios' hand and brought him into the hug, wrapping an arm around each of her children. Alexios hesitated at first, then placed his right hand on Kassandra's left side as she placed her left hand on his shoulder. The three descendants of Leonidas embraced each other as a family again and smiled as they left the cliffside of Mount Taygetos, and the painful night associated with it, behind. | Myrrine then took Alexios' hand and brought him into the hug, wrapping an arm around each of her children.

Myrrine drew her last breath, then expired. Kassandra hugged her mother one last time, sobbing. She then gently laid her down on the ground. She staggered over to the middle of the ledge, looking out to the edge. Having lost two significant members of her family, Kassandra dropped to her knees in grief, looking out to the horizon. | Myrrine drew her last breath, then expired.

Where It All Began was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
The Battle of Amphipolis fresh on her mind, Kassandra brought news of all that had occurred to her mother Myrrine.
Following the Battle of Amphipolis, Kassandra met with Myrrine in the Spartan countryside.

The two headed up the road up to the cliffside, the very same place where Kassandra and Alexios were dropped from many years ago.
Upon reaching the edge of the cliff, Myrrine and Kassandra found Deimos standing near the edge, looking out over Lakonia.

Myrrine tried running up to her youngest son, but Kassandra grabbed her to keep her from potential harm.
Deimos turned around to address his family.

Deimos laughed.
He looked at Myrrine.
Deimos sighed.
Deimos then drew and pointed his sword at his family.

Kassandra drew her spear, giving up on seeing any possible redemption for her fallen brother.
As Myrrine fell on her knees, the two siblings then fought their final fight.

Deimos walked up slowly to Kassandra. She then gave him the spear. As he held the spear in his hands, he begins to tear up and dropped to his knees. Myrrine then ran up to comfort him.
Kassandra kneelt down besides her younger brother. Alexios looked at her with with tearful eyes, regretful of the awful things he did while serving the Cult. Kassandra nevertheless gave him a conforting smile, proud that her brother has found his way back into the light. She then helped Alexios back up to his feet.
Alexios nodded, assured by his sister that all was forgiven. Alexios returned the spear to Kassandra's hands, who sheathed it and placed her hand on his shoulder, leading him away from the edge.
She hugged her daughter, grateful for bringing Alexios back from the Cult's influence.
Myrrine ran up and hugged a confused Deimos.
For once and for all, Kassandra met with Deimos right where it began.
