Dialogue

Spartan camp

Entering the Spartan camp is optional. Kassandra may instead enter the battle directly.

Leaving Sparta, Kassandra travelled to the Spartan camp in Pylos, Messenia. She spoke to one of the soldiers there.

• Kassandra: Where's Brasidas?
• Labotas: What do you want with him?

None of your business.He's a friend.

• Kassandra: Don't question me—take me to him.
• Labotas: It concerns Sparta, so it concerns me.
• Kassandra: If you were so "concerned," you'd be with your brothers preparing for battle. Now let's go.

• Kassandra: We fought together.
• Labotas: A friend?
• Kassandra: Yes... and a friend of Sparta. Now take me to him.

• Labotas: Stop. I have orders—stand guard and wait for reinforcements. They were due two nights ago.

I am your reinforcements.They're not coming.

• Kassandra: You can stop waiting. I've arrived.
• Labotas: You?! The Athenians are dogs at our throats. You won't talk so tough once you see them.
• Kassandra: I join you, and all they'll see is the ferryman.
• Labotas: Ha! Well met, warrior. You better fight as good as you talk. Come. We go to Brasidas.

• Kassandra: I didn't see any of your ships when I came in, but I can help.
• Labotas: They're... sunk? My father was the captain on one of those ships. Come. Pledge your spear to Brasidas.

Kassandra, Labotas and the rest of the Spartans entered the fray.

Battle

Deimos entering the battlefield

After Kassandra eliminated several Athenian soldiers, she and the other Spartans witnessed Deimos marching onto the battlefield wielding the Sword of Damokles, fighting for Athens. Brasidas charged at him. Kassandra yelled out.

• Deimos: And it is one you can not win.

Kassandra and Deimos engaged with each other.

• Kassandra: If Brasidas dies, his blood is on your hands.
• Deimos: His, yours, and every one of your friends'.
• Kassandra: Are you mad?! We can still stop—
• Deimos: Enough! We will not stop.
• Kassandra: I don't want to kill you, Alexios. But I will stop you.
• Deimos: My name is Deimos!

They fought to a stalemate, clashing their weapons together.

• Kassandra: If we continue, one of us will die.
• Deimos: Isn't that the point?

They jumped back from each other.

• Deimos: Finally reunited, only to lose each other again.

You made your choice.Hold on!
