The Daughters of Artemis was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Kassandra met Daphnae, the leader of the Daughters of Artemis, in Phokis.
Dialogue[]
Kassandra visited a small Temple of Artemis on a small hill. She found a woman outside the temple. The woman spotted Kassandra.
- Daphnae: You! What are you doing here?
Kassandra approached the woman.
- Daphnae This is sacred ground. You should not be here.
The woman drew her sword.
- Daphnae: Well? Either leave or tell me what you want. Who are you?
The woman withdrew her sword.
- Daphnae I am Daphnae, leader of the Daughters of Artemis, and you are maybe exactly who I've been looking for.
- Kassandra: And who would that be?
- Daphnae: A warrior, a hunter. One who straddles our world and the gods'. One who will meet my challenge.
- Kassandra: When you put it like that, how could I not accept?
- Daphnae: There is a boar not too far from here. Kill it, then bring me its pelt.
- Kassandra: You want me to kill a pig?
- Daphnae: This is no ordinary boar. Let's see if you're worthy of my challenge. Kill it, and bring me the pelt. I'm be waiting... with your reward.
The Kalydonian Boar at its lair
Kassandra travelled to the northwest region of Phokis. With Ikaros' help, she spotted the Kalydonian Boar on a marshy plateau.
- Kassandra: That's a big pig.
Kassandra defeated the Kalydonian Boar and recovered its pelt.
- Kassandra: I should get this pelt back to Daphnae at the temple.
She returned to Daphnae.
- Daphnae: Did you get lost?
- Kassandra: Here, I killed your piggy for you.
Kassandra handed the pelt to Daphnae.
- Daphnae: Hmm. You are skilled, of that there is no doubt.
- Kassandra: You shouldn't doubt my abilities.
- Daphnae: Lesson learned. But I'm also interested in seeing what else you can do.
- Kassandra: Oh? And what do you have in mind?
- Daphnae: Many things... But first, to business. There are beasts that roam this world, but are not fully of it. They've placed here by the gods as trials—as tests.
- Kassandra: These beasts are creatures, like any other. The world is full of mysteries, but not everything is unexplained by the gods.
- Daphnae: Perhaps before this is over, you will have a different opinion.
Kassandra accepting Daphnae's request
- Kassandra: All right, I'll do it. Now, just how many of these animals are there?
- Daphnae: Artemis has laid out eight trials, and you already started the journey. Hunt down those that remain.
- Kassandra: How will I recognize the creatures?
- Daphnae: Oh, you'll know. Bring the pelts to me. I'll await your return with my sisters, the Daughters of Artemis. I hope you don't make me wait to long to see your face again...
Outcome[]
Kassandra eliminated the Kalydonian Boar, impressing the leader of the Daughters of Artemis. Daphnae tasked her to hunt down the rest of the legendary animals to prove her worth to Artemis.
Trivia[]
- If Kassandra killed the Kalydonian Boar without first meeting Daphnae, she would be greeted at the boar's den by Thalia, a member of the Daughters of Artemis who would direct Kassandra to meet Daphnae at the temple.
