Wild Ride was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description
Bayek seeks out Nikias, a young racer, to meet the patron of the Green team and learn about racing.
Dialogue
Bayek travelled to the Zephyros Stables, where Nikias was waiting.
- Nikias: Bayek? I did not expect to see you here!
- Bayek: Quite the estate.
- Nikias: Yes, we've been lucky. Father breeds horses, and his horses have often won in the games. I told him about meeting you.
- Bayek: You told him what?
- Nikias: Not much. That you are a rider. That you know Claridas well.
- Bayek: To well, by half.
- Nikias: Come! He would love to meet you.
Nikias brought Bayek to meet his father, Philocrates.
- Philocrates: Beautiful, isn't she?
- Bayek: Bright eyes, flawless gait. She wants to win.
- Philocrates: You know a thing or two about horses. Nikias, who is your friend?
- Nikias: Father, this is Bayek. He once raced with Claridas. My father, Philocrates of Kanopos, son of Themistocles of Kanopos.
- Philocrates: Grew up with Claridas? Let's see you drive, Barek. Nikias, keep close. Maybe you'll learn something.
Bayek and Nikias walked to a chariot.
- Bayek: It's Ba- Fine.
- Nikias: Does Siwa have a great course for racing?
- Bayek: No, we are a small village. We did have chariots. The old kingdom and its Pharaohs brought them.
- Nikias: I envy that freedom.
They hopped onto the chariot. Bayek took the chariot for a ride around Kanopos.
- Nikias: When was the last time you raced Claridas?
- Bayek: A long while. I barely know the name.
- Nikas: Careful! Tighter on the reins! Watch the statuary! Icarus was the true master of the races. Something Claridas hopes to aspire to. My father loved Icarus. He was his favourite ch- his favorite rider. Let's show my father your natural skill! You have a light touch! You are a natural! With you riding for the Green, I'm sure we can win in the Hippodrome! Faster, Bayek, faster! Such speed!
Bayek and Nikias returned to the stables, where a crowd of Prasina Green members were gathering.
- Nikias: What's going on? Something's wrong!
They disembarked from the chariot and approached the crowd.
- Nikias: Father! Hurry, Bayek!
- Philocrates: Nikias! Horse thieves! Here! The balls on them! She's my winningest horse! You have to get her back!
- Nikias: We won't let you down, father!
Nikias climbed onto a horse, with Bayek and a few members of the Greens following behind. They rode to the bandits hideout.
- Nikias: Hurry, men! We can't let these brazen raiders get away with this! The honor of Prasina Green depends on it!
- Greek Soldier 1: For Prasina Green!
- Nikias: Keep a sharp eye out! Father loves that horse more than me-. More than all the others we've raced!
- Greek Soldier 2: For Philocrates! For Saganaki!
- Nikias: We must be getting close.
- Greek Soldier 3: For Icarus! For Prasina Green!
- Greek Soldier 4: For the Green!
- Greek Soldier 1: How many bandits do you think there are?
- Greek Soldier 4: Do not worry. We have the Medjay with us. We will be fine.
- Greek Soldier 3: Who are these bandits?
- Greek Soldier 1: Scum who are working for the blues, I'm sure.
- Greek Soldier 3: Have you heard about the Great Hungry Ones?
- Greek Soldier 1: Who are they?
- Greek Soldier 3: Bandits down south. I think they ride war hippos.
- Greek Soldier 1: What? Are you serious?
- Greek Soldier 3: So I've heard.
Nikias and the group reach the nearby river and dismounted from their horses. They sneak towards the region northeast of Kanopos. The arrived at the hideout and eliminated the bandits there. Bayek discovered Saganaki and ride her back to the estate.
- Philocrates: By Serapis, you did it! I cannot believe it! I was convinced we'd never see Saganiki, or my son, again.
- Bayek: I dealt with the bandits who stole her. I suspect they stole Saganaki on behalf of your blue rivals.
- Philocrates: Gods blast them! We'll have to beat the Blues in the races, to teach them shame and humiliation. I hope you race wearing the green, Baret.
- Bayek: I... I will do my best.
Outcome
Bayek succeeded in retrieving Philocrates' horse, obtaining the Black Arrow horse as a reward.
