Kassandra entered the hallway with relics from Perseus's life on both sides of the wall, and inspected each of them. After which she exited to an open study room with a golden brazier with fire burning in the middle of the room, then to the open altar of Dionysos in which she spotted the children at the nearby balcony. She approaches them. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Hello, I'm -'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''The Eagle Bearer! We've heard all about you!'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''Are you going to tell us a story today? Do we have to listen? We've heard it a hundred times.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Yes, that's me. And yes, I'm telling you a story.'' | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|Let me tell you about Perseus.= | |||
Kassandra kneels on one leg and the children sit on the ground. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Gather round and listen, children, while I spin you the yarn of Perseus.'' | |||

|-|Poseidon visited a mortal woman as a dolphin.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The great god of the sea, [[Poseidon]], visited a mortal woman, Sarra, a fisherman's daughter. The god of the sea frolicked with her, in the shape of a dolphin, and she knew his love.'' | |||
Kristos retches. | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''Is this a kissing story?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Relax, I'm just setting it up. Soon Sarra gave birth to a child, the half-blood hero Perseus!'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''I thought Perseus's mother's name was Danae, like my sister?'' | |||
A child stands up... | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''Yeah, and his father was Zeus!'' | |||
...and leaves. | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''Uh, well, that's true in some versions... Anyway, at some point baby Perseus fell off a boat and almost drowned.'' | |||
|-|Zeus visited a mortal woman as a golden shower.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''[[Akrisios]], the king of [[Argos]], was not a good man. He had one child, a daughter, [[Danae]]. Bitter that he had no son, he went to the [[Pythia|Oracle of Delphi]], and heard a prophecy that chilled him.'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''Ooh. What was it?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The Oracle said Akrisios would be killed by his grandson, but Danae was unmarried and childless at the time. To protect himself, he locked Danae in a bronze room, open only to the sky.'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''Ooh!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''However, Might [[Zeus]] saw the girl and fell in love with her. He transformed into a golden shower and seduced her. Danae gave birth to a son, Perseus.'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''I knew it!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''King Akrisios couldn't kill the boy for fear of angering Zeus, so he put his daughter and grandson in a wooden crate and tossed them into the wild sea, to be drowned.'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''How horrid! Poor Perseus! | |||

|-|Perseus grew up under the cave of a fisherman, Diktys.= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Perseus and his mother, Danae, were rescued on the island of [[Seriphos]], and Perseus grew up under the care of a kindly fisherman, [[Diktys]]. | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''Lucky them! Did the gods help?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Maybe. Perseus learned to swim, and ride, and fight, and how to be good and just, even though his faster was only a fisherman.'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''I can do all those things, too!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Good for you.'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''Except swim.'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''Or be just!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Hush. Now, Diktys's brother was ruler of the island, but he was not a good man.'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''He's scum!'' | |||
|-|Amphitryon and Alkmene found an adopt...= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''A kindly old couple, Amphitryon and Alkmene found Perseus in the sea and brought him to their farm in Smalpolis, taking him as their son.'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''What about his mom, my namesake?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Shh, listen! Hera was angry, though, and sent snakes to kill the baby. But Perseus was too strong, and he strangled the snakes in his crib, revealing his godly nature.'' | |||
Kristos heckles. | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''That doesn't sound right!'' | |||
A child stands up... | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''There are different ways to tell the story, you know!'' | |||
...and leaves. Another child still sitting says: | |||
*'''Child:''' ''And? This story is for the crows.'' | |||
</tabber> | |||
<tabber> | |||
|-|An evil ruler wants to marry Danae. Perseus...= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The cruel king of Seriphos, Diktys's brother [[Polydektes]], decided he wanted to marry Danae for she was still beautiful and noble. But Perseus knows his mother does not want this. Diktys couldn't stop his brother, so it was up to Perseus to interfere and be annoying.'' | |||
Danae chuckles. | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''Kristos, that's your job!'' | |||
Kristos goes along with her joke. | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''I would keep the stinky king from marrying you!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''The cruel, uh, stinky king became angry. To get rid of Perseus, Polydektes sent him on an impossible quest.'' | |||
Kassandra stands up and does an impression of the king. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''"Prove yourself a warrior and fetch me a worthy gift," the king said, "by killing a great monster!"'' | |||
Kassandra kneels back down. | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''I knew it!'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''Shh! I knew it, too!'' | |||
|-|Perseus sees beautiful Andromeda, but must solv...= | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''When Perseus grows up, he travels to Joppa and falls in love at first sight with the beautiful princess [[Andromeda]]. However, Andromeda's mother boasts that her daughter is more beautiful than the goddess [[Thetis]], offending her!'' | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''Never say you are better than the gods!'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Thetis proclaims that Andromeda must be sacrificed to the gods, or else the whole city of Joppa will be destroyed!'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''I... don't think that's right. Wasn't Andromeda an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aethiopia| Aithiopian] princess?'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Hush! Perseus asks his grandmother, Tala, how to save his love. She turns into a [[manta ray]] and says, to save Andromeda, he must bring back curly hair of gold, fit for the king of the mountains, who yet owns less than the humblest [[helot]]. | |||
A child stands up... | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''I don't know that riddle.'' | |||
...and leaves. | |||
*'''Kristos:''' ''It's too hard.'' | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Uh, it was hard for Perseus, too. But eventually he figured it out.'' | |||
*'''Danae:''' ''How?'' | |||
Kassandra looks irritated. | |||
*'''Kassandra:''' ''He just did is all!'' | |||

A Treasury of Legends was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
At the Temple of Dionysos Kolonatas, Kassandra found a woman who hoped that the Eagle Bearer whom her children, Danae and Kristos, adored would be able to tell the children the story of the legendary hero Perseus.
Kassandra climbed up the stairs leading to the Temple of Dionysos and found a woman rocking left and right while drinking wine looking across the balcony of the entrance to the hallway of Perseus. She turns her back from Kassandra as she approaches her.
Kassandra entered the hallway with relics from Perseus's life on both sides of the wall, and inspected each of them. After which she exited to an open study room with a golden brazier with fire burning in the middle of the room, then to the open altar of Dionysos in which she spotted the children at the nearby balcony.
