- Kassandra: If Podarkes were my family, I'd have tied him to a tree and left him to rot.
- Barnabas: You and many others on Delos. But, this is still more celebration than funeral. There's wine to drink, and tales to tell.

Description
Kassandra attended a celebration after the defeat of Podarkes.
Dialogue
Barnabas
As the festivities began, Kassandra met with Barnabas.
- Kassandra: The people are happy.
- Barnabas: As they should be! For the first time since Ares cursed us with war, the Delos Islands now know freedom.
- Kassandra: But where's Kyra? It's not like her to miss a chance to drink with her troops.
(If the player kept her secret)
- Barnabas: She told me you kept her secret... I'm still shocked. Podarkes was a complicated man, but he was still her father. She snuck off to send him to the Ferryman alone.
[Possibly dependent on Thaletas choices]
- Kassandra: Make the tale great. The troops deserve it. Thaletas especially.
- Barnabas: Indeed he does! He's just up the stairs, that way. I've been meaning to tell him how I lost this eye.
- Kassandra: And the crew? Ready to sail?
- Barnabas: On your order. But first, let the crew enjoy a drink and a song. You deserve one, too.
Podarkes's Funeral
Kassandra made her way to Kyra, who had prepared a funeral pyre for Podarkes. Kassandra handed her coppers.
- Kassandra: For the ferryman.
Kyra accepted the coins and stepped forward with a torch in hand. She tossed the coins onto Podarkes's corpse.
- Kyra: Go now, into the river of black night, and embrace the boundless gloom. You shall wander obscure even in the house of Hades, flitting among the shadowy dead.
She said this as she lit the bonfire, casting the torch aside when done. She steeled herself as Podarkes burned.
- Kassandra: You shouldn't have to say goodbye alone.
- Kyra: I'm glad I'm not alone. I've wanted to watch him burn for so long. Now that it's happened... I thought I'd feel peace.
- Kassandra: And what do you feel?
- Kyra: I used to feel vengeful... Now... empty.
- Kassandra: He's dead, and nothing we can do will bring him back.
- Kyra: We? We didn't kill him. You did. I had a chance to say goodbye to him and you took it from me. The gods demanded justice from me.
Kyra's grief came to a head.
- Kassandra: Right here, right now, all that matters are the people who have fought for you. They need you now - not the gods.
Kassandra's words encouraged Kyra, and she resolved to live.
- Kassandra: If the gods are displeased, offer them a sacrifice.
- Kyra: A sacrifice... What do I have left that they haven't taken from me?
- Kassandra: People gave their lives for you, Kyra. I nearly gave my own. The gods have blessed you, and you don't even see it.
- Kyra: No one can see what the gods do. They tricked me into wanting him dead. They tormented my thoughts until I could think of nothing else. And now, I see them laughing at me.
- Kassandra: I was in your place, once. The vengeance dies, then the emptiness dies too. Give it time.
- Kyra: Time! I've given my entire life. I want it done! Kronos devours his children - rips them flesh from bone. Zeus had Prometheus torn open by birds for an eternity. Fate is cruel, and the gods are wicked.
- Kassandra: Right here, right now, all that matters are the people who have fought for you. They need you now - not the gods.
Kassandra's words encouraged Kyra, and she resolved to live.
- Kassandra: If the gods are displeased, offer them a sacrifice.
- Kyra: A sacrifice... What do I have left that they haven't taken from me?
- Kassandra: People gave their lives for you, Kyra. I nearly gave my own. The gods have blessed you, and you don't even see it.
- Kyra: No one can see what the gods do. They tricked me into wanting him dead. They tormented my thoughts until I could think of nothing else. And now, I see them laughing at me.
- Kassandra: He's gone, but you're still here. The people need you. If you don't protect them, there will be another Podarkes to come and take his place.
Kyra lives
(If Kyra's secret was kept.)
- Kyra: You're right. They do need me. And I need them. We're rebels with nothing left to rebel against. They need me now more than ever.
(If Kyra's secret was revealed.)
- Kyra: They don't need me. You made sure none of them would ever trust me again.
- Kassandra: We all have complicated pasts, Kyra. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Your family - your real family, is celebrating tonight in your honor.
- Kyra: We're rebels with nothing left to rebel against. That's not much to start a family on... but it's more than I ever had. You're right.
Kassandra nodded, and the two hugged.
- Kyra: Thank you.
(If players asked "What will you do now?")
- Kassandra: What will you do next? Mykonos will need to rebuild.
- Kyra: Then that's what we'll do. But not to put it back as it was... not as pater wanted. We'll make this place a new home for our people to be free. To live good lives.
(Leave - "Let's go to the celebration.")
- Kassandra: Kyra... He's gone. Your rebels are waiting.
- Kyra: They're celebrating. Let's celebrate with them.
They wrapped their arms across each other's shoulders and stared at the pyre a while longer before heading to the celebration.
- Kyra: Goodbye, pater.
Kyra dies
Kassandra was at a loss for what to say next. While she was contemplating, she did not notice Kyra walk to the edge of the cliff.
- Kassandra: Kyra, stop. You're too close to the edge.
- Kyra: Nothing. All of this was for nothing. You made sure of that... and now nothing will bring her back.
- Kassandra: Her? Who?
- Kyra: Curse our cruel gods. I will see you, mater. And pater.
- Kassandra: Kyra! Stop!
- Kyra: No shame. No pain. We will be together again.
She threw herself off the cliff to her death.
- Kassandra: Kyra!
Kassandra looked down to the cliff's bottom with grief in her expression.
Celebration
Kassandra made her way to the celebration.
[dialogue with various people]
(If Kyra and Thaletas are alive and together)
Kassandra spotted Kyra and Thaletas at the celebration and spoke to them.
- Kassandra: There you are. You look happy.
- Kyra: I said goodbye to the past, with your help. Now we welcome what the Fates will bring.
- Thaletas: You were there when Kyra needed you. You're an ally to Sparta, and to our islands.
- Kassandra: Your islands. So, the rebels are now the rulers?
- Kyra: One thing at a time. First, we celebrate. Besides, Sparta is calling Thaletas home. They intend to make him a general.
- Thaletas: And I've already told them no. My place is here, on Delos, rebuilding my home with the woman I love.
- Kassandra: You earned this celebration, and all the prosperity the gods will bring.
- Kyra: The gods gave me more than enough. Any prosperity is for the people of the islands, not us.
- Kyra: Thank you, Kassandra. We owe you our lives.
After speaking to whom she wished to speak, Kassandra spoke to Barnabas to make ready to leave.
- Barnabas: You look ready to go.
(If Kyra and Thaletas live)
- Kassandra: Podarkes is gone, Thaletas and Kyra have their islands, and I have other targets to hit.
- Barnabas: You are victorious - not that I ever doubted it. Why not say goodbye... A rousing speech to get the blood flowing?
(Accept - "I'll give a speech.")
- Kassandra: Let's say goodbye.
- Barnabas: Chairete! Settle down, settle down. Kassandra has something she'd like to say.
- Kassandra: Delians! We have won!
- Kassandra: But now the real work begins. You must build a new home. A fair home. One where cruel people like Podarkes can never rise to power.
- Barnabas: And now, a toast. To Kassandra! To victory!
{If crazy_rebel = alive, then story.apply_poison(Thaletas}
(If "Your job isn't done!" was selected)
- Barnabas: What a speech! Though, I think some of the rebels like fighting more than rebuilding.
- Kassandra: I think they liked it.
- Barnabas: Of course, of course. Who wouldn't? I'll round up the crew. See you back at the ship?
Barnabas took his leave of Kassandra as she stared out at the city.
(If players chose "Let's just leave.")
[unknown]
Departure
At dawn, Kassandra met with Barnabas at the docks, who was conversing with Sokrates.
(If Sokrates was met during The Sokratic Method)
- Kassandra: Sokrates! You looking to join our crew?
- Sokrates: I've just come to see you off. I sail on a merchant ship in the morning.
- Kassandra: May Poseidon calm the waves.
- Kassandra: Barnabas, is the Adrestia ready to sail?
(If 'The Sokratic Method' was not begun)
- Kassandra: Sokrates! The rebels are hunting Athenians. What are you doing here?
- Sokrates: I came to teach, as I always do. But don't worry: I sail on a merchant ship set for Attika in the morning.
- Kassandra: Wise, as always. Thanks for coming to see us off.
- Kassandra: Speaking of being off - Barnabas, are we ready to sail?
Regardless, Barnabas apprised Kasandra of the ship's condition.
- Barnabas: The crew are in fine spirits... If a little hungover. But the ship is ready.
(Kyra and Thaletas live)
- Kassandra: Good. I only wish we weren't leaving Kyra and Thaletas alone to rebuild what's been destroyed by the rebellion.
(Kyra only lives)
- Kassandra: Good. I only wish we weren't leaving Kyra alone to rebuild her home.
(Thaletas only lives)
- Kassandra:
(Kyra and Thaletas died)
- Kassandra: If only we weren't leaving the people of Delos alone, without Kyra or Thaletas, to rebuild what they lost to the rebellion.
Sokrates assuaged her of her concerns.
- Sokrates: Are any of us truly alone who have our friends and allies beside us?
- Barnabas: Exactly. Do you remember what you told me when you first set foot on these sands?
(If players chose "I'm here for Podarkes" during Trouble in Paradise)
- Kassandra:
(If players chose "It's good we came. People are dying" during 'Trouble in Paradise')
- Kassandra: I said we came here to help people.
(If players chose "We have a job to do" during 'Trouble in Paradise')
- Kassandra: That we were here to finish a job.
Regardless, Barnabas remarked on her success.
- Barnabas: That's what we set out to do... And that's precisely what you did. They don't call you the Mighty Misthios for nothing.
- Kassandra: Ha! Who calls me that?
- Sokrates: He does.
- Barnabas: Now then! It's time we give the crew some orders. Where do we sail to next?
- Kassandra: Podarkes was only one Cultist, Barnabas. Wherever we set sail, we will find more of them... and I will kill them all.
- Kassandra: The world is ours, and the wind is at our backs. We sail for adventure, Barnabas. Just as we always do.
- Kassandra: I won't rest until I know my family is safe. We do what we've always done - follow their trail until I've brought everyone together again.
