The Pre-Trial of Strength was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
In Lato, Kassandra approached a small arena, wherein the Pre-Trial of Strength took place. All around the stage itself were people lying on the ground, groaning and moaning and complaining.
Civilian:HE CANNOT BE BEATEN! He's too strong. Your only logical choice is to purchase the Trial Token from him. Be wise, friend.
Civilian:By Zeus, my legs! If only I hadn't tried to fight the Trial Master. I should have paid him. I SHOULD HAVE PAID HIM!
Civilian:Put down your spear and grab your drachmae, challenger - for only honorable bribery can save you from sharing my astoundingly painful fate!
Civilian: Oh my bones! They are EXTREMELY broken. Don't be a fool - please, you must pay to skip this Pre-Trial!
Civilian:The pain! The incredible pain! My limbs and organs - crushed. If only I'd paid for the Trial Token. What an incredible, fairly priced deal!
Kassandra approached the brute exercising on the stage.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength: Chaire, poorly-muscled challenger! You are here to have your feeble frame crushed in my Pre-Trial of Strength, yes?
Kassandra:My "feeble frame" might be harder to crush than you think.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:So brave! Pretending you have a chance against a warrior as strong and handsome as me. We may fight for my Token, yes, but maybe you would prefer to remain un-crushed and buy my Token instead? Yes?
Kassandra:No, we fight.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:Are you sure you would not prefer to spend your shiny drachmae—
Kassandra: We fight.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:Then let the crushing begin!
Kassandra and the Trial Master drew their swords.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:You should have bought my Token, yes? Very good price! Now you must pay a new price... DEATH. I will use your bones to pick your other bones from my teeth.
Kassandra defeated the Trial Master.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength: UGH! This isn't what winning feels like...! Crush, crush, crush...
Kassandra approached him.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:What—what am I feeling? What is this?
Kassandra:The shame of defeat.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength: This is defeat?
Kassandra shrugged
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:...Winning is better, yes. The Token of Strength is yours. Have a wonderful day—and please don't hit me again.
As Kassandra prepared to leave, the Pre-Trial Master joined the chorus of the civilians around the stage.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:My favorite bones! You have crushed them to dust INSIDE of my skin. You ARE a champion, yes!
Kassandra:There's no need for unnecessary bloodshed. I'll pay for your Token.
Pre-Trial Master of Strength:A wise choice, my spineless friend. May you one day slither out from under the metaphoric rock of your cowardice!
Token of Strength This Token is acquired by completing the Pre-Trail of Strength in Lato, proving one's worthiness to fight the great Minotaur.
Civilian:Are we on break now? My legs are actually starting to cramp. Uhh... Is it break time yet? I feel like my legs will be actually crushed if I stay here any longer...
