"So you've seen it too, then? It's beautiful isn't it? [Kassandra: What are you doing here?] You killed the last member of the Cult. Well, just about. [Kassandra: What?] It's true. I was their leader, but only for a moment it seemed. When your brother came along, it changed everything we were aiming for. [Kassandra: Malaka. So you were after us.] Not you, your bloodline. People like Leonidas, like you, have always posed a threat. Then we met, and you surprised me. You were nothing like Deimos. [Kassandra: Why not just use me? I was in the palm of your hand.] You made me optimistic, that you could help me bring down the Cult that had become so corrupt. And you did, albeit unknowingly. [Kassandra: You're all the same. Selfish, and fucking destructive.] It was different in the beginning. It wasn't about destruction, it was about redirection. [Kassandra: I just don't understand. What about this... pyramid? How does it work? Why does the Cult have it?] I've been trying to figure out all of the myself. It's as much of a mystery to you as it is to me. This pyramid has been worshipped by the Cult for decades, and we have used it to replace the Oracle of Delphi, the most trusted person in all the Greek world. Using the people's reliance on a pantheon of dead gods would help to reshape humanity in our favor. The pyramid holds a mysterious power to see into time. But only certain people can activate it. People like Deimos, and the ones in your bloodline. [Kassandra: But you've seen something, too.] I don't know how or why, but it did show me something. [Kassandra: What did you see?] I saw you. In the vision, you destroyed the pyramid and you destroyed the Cult... I saw what would come after. [Kassandra: After the Cult?] We will be replaced by a new kind of order - control under the reign of a philosopher king. There would be a movement away from the old gods towards rational society, built in a kingdom by the people, for the people. And I must find someone to lead them. But I couldn't achieve any of this with the Cult and their chaotic regime. So I let them carry out their plans, and let the time of the Cult of Kosmos come to an end on its own. [Kassandra: Wait. Did Perikles know?] I wanted to protect him, so I kept him in the dark. He would have had his own opinions. But he was never supposed to die. That is the truth. [Kassandra: He trusted you. And in the end, you didn't protect him. Maybe he would be alive if you'd stopped them.] Gods know I would have if I could. When Deimos killed him, I knew the original cause was lost. I had to retreat. [Kassandra: So. What happens now?] We shift focus. We steer towards a new republic under one supreme rule. A dream I'll make reality. [Kassandra: But it is still a dream. One that isn't realistic.] Abandon what you know and just imagine! Forget democracy. No more blue and red, just citizens working for a greater good. [Kassandra: This is crazy. It won't work, Aspasia. It didn't work.] It's not crazy, it's enlightened. Once people in Athens get wind of this, they'll come to know they've wanted it all along. Even you. [Kassandra: I'm not sure.] You've spent your whole life thinking for yourself. Let go. What I plan will require you to trust me. Come with me. This future's not a dream. [Kassandra: I can't let you do this. You've caused so much damage. You destroyed the Greek world.] You've proven you have no understanding of what we're doing. I misjudged you. [Kassandra: So did I.]"
