Unseeing Eyes was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description[]
On the road to Balagrae, Bayek stumbles upon a blind man. Babbling, Galenos begs Bayek to restore his sight which has been stolen by a mythical beast.
Dialogue[]
While on the road to Balagrae, Bayek heard an old man cry for help.
- Galenos: Spare a moment for a poor old sot?
Will none of you help me? A manticore stole my eyes!
Bayek approached the man, and addressed him.
- Bayek: What is this madness, old man? Your eyes have been ravaged?
- Galenos: Yes, a manticore devoured them!
- Bayek: A mythical beast stole your sight?
- Galenos: With the face of a woman and the body of a lion.
- Bayek: That is one ferocious lion.
- Galenos: Quick! Before she returns. Take me to my friend Theramenes at the clinic. He will know what to do.
- Bayek: Madness is your bedfellow. But I can't leave you here to be eaten by beasts.
Bayek carrying Galenos to the clinic
Bayek carried Galenos on his back and made his way to the clinic.
- Galenos: I only went berry picking.
- Bayek: There are many wild animals about, do you not have a bow?
- Galenos: A bow against a manticore?
- Bayek: My bow has killed a thousand beasts.
- Galenos: Argg! Are you the griffin? Spiriting me off!
- Bayek: Be still Galenos, it is me Bayek, your savior.
- Galenos: Are we near. Near the clinic, Bayek?
- Bayek: I hope so.
Bayek reached the clinic and placed Galenos on a mat. He spoke to a healer.
- Bayek: Are you the healer Theramenes?
- Theramenes: Yes, yes. Is that Galenos? By the Fates, what happened to him?
- Bayek: I found him by the road, crying that the Manticore took his eyes.
- Theramenes: And his wits along with them.
I have honey and euphrasia... but the temple purloined my more exotic supplies. - Bayek: I've brought him this far, so what do you need?
- Theramenes: You'll help? Wonder of wonders. I will give you a list.
Thermanes requesting Bayek to retrieve a list of ingredients
Theramenes gave the list to Bayek, who left to look for the ingredients while Theramenes saw to Galenos. Bayek left Balagrae to look for ibexes and snakes in the surrounding region, hunting them for their respective horns and venom.
- Bayek: Let's see what Theramenes can do with these.
He returned to Theramenes, and gave him the ingredients.
- Bayek: How is our patient?
- Theramenes: A babbling fool. We'll get no sense from him til I can relieve his pain. Silphium extract will do it.
- Bayek: That Roman weed?
- Theramenes: Silphium is our weed and because of the Romans it's almost extinct. They process it at the depot north of here.
- Bayek: Which is heavily guarded I bet?
- Theramenes: Should be no problem for one as resourceful as you. Haha.
Bayek recovering the silphium extract from a chest
Bayek sought out the depot north of the clinic. He infiltrated the place and recovered the silphium extract.
- Bayek: I should return this wonder cure to Theramenes.
Bayek returned to Theramenes, and gave him the extract.
- Theramenes: You are a marvel. I will bring our friend back to his senses, not that he had that many to begin with.
- Bayek: If I stumble across a manticore stalking the woods of Balagrae, I will bring you its head.
- Theramenes: Now that I would welcome my boy, they say that its venomous sting will paralyze a man instantly. I could have some use for that!
Medicinally speaking of course! - Bayek: Of course. Farewell, Theramenes.
- Galenos: Farewell Bayek! And watch out for manticores!
Outcome[]
Bayek brought Galenos to safety in Theramenes' clinic. He helped the healer recover ingredients and silphium needed for Galenos' recovery.
