- Kassandra: I'll go wherever I'm needed in the world. I can't run from my responsibilities. Someone - I mean, something tells me my journey is not over yet.

Dialogue
Kassandra reunited with Barnabas and Herodotos at the vacation house. There, Barnabas spoke with Herodotos, joking how his mishap with the Piece of Eden broke Kassandra out of her vacation phase.
- Barnabas: Well, you can't say I wasn't successful in getting Kassandra out of her funk!
- Kassandra: Out of my funk, but into a lot more trouble.
- Barnabas: Oops. Did I already apologize for that?
- Herodotos: Coming to Korfu, I had no inkling that we would get caught up in a tale of legendary treasure.
- Kassandra: They say life gets dull without surprises.
- Barnabas: Now that's a reason to cheers!
Ikaros shrieked from above.
- Kassandra: And to you, Ikaros!
- Herodotos: Yes, we all have but one life to lead. We have to do the most with it.
- Barnabas: One life? Speak for yourself!
Kassandra gestured to Barnabas to stop, not wanting to discuss any more about her immortality.
- Herodotos: You're right, Barnabas. Heroes like Kassandra will live on in the stories and legends of their triumphs. They live forever.
Kassandra mustered the courage to tell her friends of an emotionally difficult decision she plans to make very soon.
- Kassandra: Listen. I want you two to know... I'll be leaving soon. To travel across waters I've never dreamed of crossing. And I don't know when I'll be back.
Barnabas asked her a heartfelt question on the reason she's leaving.
- Barnabas: You're leaving? Again? Where? Why?
- Herodotos: We couldn't possibly keep you for ourselves. Though you'll be everywhere in my writings, that's for certain.
- Kassandra: I'm honored. Maybe you could give me one of your manuscripts, Herodotos. I'm sure even those from far off lands would love to read it.
Herodotos chuckled.
- Herodotos: Don't trouble yourself. These lands will do for now. But if you're serious...
He pulled out a scroll and gave it to Kassandra.
- Herodotos: A storyteller is always prepared. Take it. But feel no need to share it. It's for you.
- Kassandra: I have something for you too.
Kassandra pulled out the one "companion" that helped her throughout her lifelong odyssey throughout the Greek world and one of the most important tools that shaped her as the legendary Eagle Bearing-misthios: the Spear of Leonidas. She held the Spear in front of her, wanting to give it to Herodotos as a final gift for her friend, now ready to part ways with it forever. Herodotos was surprised.
- Herodotos: No. The spear?
- Kassandra: You knew what it was the moment you met me. But I've...outgrown it. It's yours now. Careful. It's still sharp.
- Herodotos: I'll cherish it forever.
He happily accepted the gift.
- Barnabas: Well, though I'm not one to refuse a gift, the gift of friendship is enough for me.
- Kassandra: You only want friendship? I guess I'll need to find another second-in command for my trip.
- Barnabas: Me? Travelling the world? With you?
- Kassandra: If you'll have me as your captain.
- Barnabas: I don't know how much longer these old bones can hoist a sail, but I'll go as far as I can. The Adrestia is yours.
Barnabas bowed down, reaffirming his loyalty to Kassandra.
- Herodotos: What will be your first stop, Kassandra?
- Kassandra: I don't know. What I do know is that I need a new weapon. Egypt has always fascinated me.
- Herodotos: Ah, one of my favorite places. Let me tell you one of my best stories...
The camera panned out as Herodotos tells his comrades about his stories.
An unspecified amount of time later, in the Egyptian city of Alexandria at night, a mysterious hooded figure walked alone though the dark halls of the Library of Alexandria. The figure walked up towards a shelf of scrolls. The hooded figure lowered her hood, revealing herself to be Kassandra. She took out the scroll Herodotos gave her some time ago from her pouch and placed it with the other scrolls in the shelf.
- Kassandra: Everyone will read your words, Herodotos.
She smiled. She then raised her hood and left the room.
Outcome
Behind the scenes
After completing this memory, the player will regain access to their abilities.
Even though Kassandra permanently gave away the Spear of Leonidas as a gift to Herodotos, she still retains it during gameplay after completion of this memory. This is likely done for gameplay purposes.
