Happily Ever After? was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
With one Cultist left alive, it was time for Kassandra to fulfill her vow. To find them, she was called to the place where she learned of their existence. She'd have to go back to where it all began.
Dialogue
Kassandra re-entered the sanctuary under the Temple of Apollo, this time fully armed and armored. As she followed the path into the core of the sanctuary, she heard her mother's voice.
- Myrrine: Kassandra.
- Myrrine: Kassandra.
- Myrrine: Kassandra.
The voice was distorted. Kassandra entered the main sanctuary.
- Myrrine: Kassandra?
- Myrrine: Kassandra.
- Myrrine: Kassandra.
The voice appeared to be coming from the artifact in the center. Kassandra marched towards it. Though its fragments had been long separated, the beams of light converged into the shape of a pyramid and seemingly invited Kassandra. After some hesitation, she reached out to touch her hand to the light.
A vision filled her mind, showing Pythagoras standing in the chamber she now stood in. He addressed her directly, as if knowing she would view this vision.
- Pythagoras: Kassandra.
- Pythagoras: It was never supposed to be like this.
Images of the Greek world flashed before her.
- Pythagoras: Decades ago, a group of people gathered together to uphold a theory which they believed could control the universe.
- Pythagoras: That the world functioned in equal parts, order and disorder.
An image of Kyra and Kassandra at the funeral pyre of Podarkes also flashed in her mind.
- Pythagoras: But some fell lovingly into the wicked arms of chaos. And the Cult of Kosmos was born.
An image of Leonidas standing defiant against the Cult in Delphi flashed in her mind, followed by an image of the night Alexios was sacrificed.
- Pythagoras: They abused their power, casting the Greek world into eternal war—one you were created to stop.
Images of battles, as well as Kassandra's own struggles, filled her mind.
- Pythagoras: In destroying the Cult, you have done what I could not. You are a hero.
- Pythagoras: But this imbalance comes with a price, my child.
An image of a pyramid flashed in her mind, followed by a mysterious hooded man traveling alone, prior to standing above a mountain fortress. This was followed by an image of a palace, as well as a brotherhood of hooded men and women charging a line of well-armored soldiers.
- Pythagoras: For without chaos, there is supreme order. A loss of progression and freedom.
An image of an eagle soaring across a frontier entered her mind next, followed by an image of well-equipped ships tore one another to shreds.
- Pythagoras: But there is still hope - hope in you, hope in the future you will bring.
This was followed by an image of another eagle, soaring above a grand place of worship. Another eagle soared above a bridge leading to a massive tower.
- Pythagoras: We must fix the mistakes of the past. Use the staff. Repair the rift in the universe.
The final image to enter Kassandra's mind showed her in an unfamiliar garb, holding a staff, and handing it to a woman in an equally-strange garb.
- Pythagoras: The world depends on you, Kassandra.
- Pythagoras: You need to be the hero again.
The images ceased, and Kassandra withdrew her hand.
