Thank You, Misthios was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Kassandra was again given another treasure hunt by Aiantides.
Dialogue[]
While in the Boura, Kassandra found and read a letter on a rock.
Thank You, Misthios
- Eagle Bearer, your audacity astounds me again! Why did you have to kill the Huntsman, the malakas responsible for burning my village to embers?! We were fine being helplessly vengeful! I, Aiantides the Proud, will never be indebted to anyone. I hid the treasure among the rocks lined up like the constellation Sagitta along the Achaian shore. Find it and cease your benevolent deeds—I have nothing left to offer you!
- Kassandra: Aiantides the Proud. What did I do now to deserve your gifts, friend?
Kassandra finding the package
Kassandra travelled to the rocks at the Achaian shoreline in the Poseidon's Wrath region. Ikaros located the gift near a shipwreck.
- Kassandra: Found it!
She claimed the gift.
- Kassandra: Exactly where Aiantides said it'd be.
She sensed a man walk up behind her.
- Aiantides: There you are, maláka!
Kassandra drew her Spear of Leonidas and turned to face him.
- Aiantides: Whoa, whoa! Wait, it's me!
Recognition dawned on Kassandra's face.
- Kassandra: Aiantides...?
- Aiantides: The Proud!
- Kassandra: Finally, Aiantides, we meet. It's good to see you.
He chuckled, but then immediately turned serious.
- Aiantides: But no! That's not why I'm here. You! Why can't you just leave me alone?
- Kassandra: What did I do now? Save your step-sister's cows?
- Aiantides: My aunt was among the stranded people you saved from the fortress.
- Kassandra: You've got to be kidding—
- Aiantides: And now I don't have anything left to reward you. My pockets are dry, my house empty! I've come here to tell you that I, Aiantides the Proud, who shall never be indebted to anyone, will owe you, Eagle Bearer, a—favor.
- Kassandra: No, no. You've done enough. You don't owe me anything.
- Aiantides: Don't make this harder than it is! Tell me. What is it you need done?
- Kassandra: Join my crew and work on the Adrestia.
- Aiantides: No, no. I have a family to take care of. Something else. Anything!
- Kassandra: I need to get some code books from the Tempest. Find them for me.
- Aiantides: (scoffs) What do I look like to you? A thief? No, something else.
- Kassandra: There's a powerful commander here in Achaia that I need killed—the Tempest.
- Aiantides: Murder? You ask murder of me?! Unacceptable! Ask for something else.
- Kassandra: There are mercenaries trying to kill me. Take care of them.
- Aiantides: I'm not fighter. Look at me! I owe you a favor, not my life. There must be something else.
- Kassandra: You know what, just leave me alone. That would help—a lot.
- Aiantides: Fine! But this isn't over, Eagle Bearer. I know we will see each other again.
Aiantides turned away.
- Aiantides: Then I shall redeem my honor! You will ask something of me, I'm sure of it.
Aiantides walked off. Kassandra lightly shook her head and rolled her eyes.
- Kassandra: Unbelievable. I hope I don't run into him again.
Outcome[]
Kassandra recovered the reward near the Sunken Temple of Demeter, getting the chance to meet Aiantides himself.
Behind the scenes[]
This quest will be available if players have finished the previous quests that involve the character Aiantides, "Thank You, Maláka!" and "Again, Maláka?!". The number of favors players can ask of Aiantides depends on which quests have been completed. If, for example, they have already found the mercenaries who hunted them in "Knives in the Dark", found the code books in "Tides of War", and killed The Tempest in "Leviathan's Maw", the only dialogue options available are to recruit Aiantides or tell him to leave. If these quests have instead not been done and the player runs through all three payback options which Aiantides rejects, the protagonist will automatically state the "Just leave me alone" option and dismiss him.
