She stares at the statue of Athena at the parthenon that has the spear she had for so long in Athena's right hand, along with Alexios' sword in the same hand. The spear and sword being constructed to be together after our "deaths". Her hand rubbed the blade as it glowed it's yellowish-orangish color, the book on her back glowed its bright blue like the moonlight that'll sometimes happen when the spear glowed. A male stood near her, "Well, what is the status of Deimos?" Her head turned to the male, "He is fine Alexios, he just needs some convincing the cult to cool down on what they plan sometimes." Alexios nodded as he made a humming noise, "How is the cult doing?" He asked with his head a slight tilt. "They seem to have mostly changed their ways to making themselves a cult of worshippers to gods they've been starting to come up with. One of the Gods is being called Kaseosus, which is the god of mercenaries." He nodded at the female after she spilled about the cults current religious and somewhat normal day affairs. "Hey Kassandra, the overseers, Perikles and Theseus want to see us so they can update the others of the mercenary going-ons. Have you, your book that you feel in with every mercenary, Have even children who'll become mercenaries?" Kassandra stared at Alexios and grabbed her book off her back and opened it slowly flipping through the pages to show Alexios all the old and current written names on the book, and the just now appearing in the book by the blue glow. Some of the names being scratched out via lines meaning those people are dead. Kassandra's name being the first one in the book as the book keeps track of mercenaries and their ranks. "Anything else Alexios? Gallon seems to be searching for something as we speak." She held her right arm up by her left one with her hand grazing her chin as she stared him down, "He is trying to search for cult guards to assist him in his research of the planet he named after the cult, but no guards ever want to assist the poor man. They just ignore him at every chance he gets when trying to ask them." She held her head with her hand as she thought deeply. "Why not get Deimos on them, he'll surely help another Overseer as he's helped us and Theseus before, I like when he reminds us he helped Theseus on the end of his odyssey. And I also like where Deimos is basically a kid when he helps and then becomes a teen before becoming an early adult. Alexios you might hit it." She laughs as her brother berates her with slurs and leaves in a darker colored blushing mess with a huff, heading to where Deimos and the Cult of Kosmos is. While Kassandra stands there still admiring the statue with another mercenary coming up and standing beside her. "Seems you've been rewarded Eagle Bearer." The mercenary says as they rub the small statue of Ikaros at the feet of the Athena statue and then leaves. "Seems everyone is remorseful. Luckily Alexios has his memorial in Sparta while mines in Athens, but beggars can't be choosers." She tilts her head and leaves the parthenon holding a torch as she passes through Athens on Phobos slowly so she doesn't ram into people, and she has her head piece on so no one knows who she is until they check the mercenary chart rankings to find her still on there, alive.
