Markos's Fate

Markos's Fate was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
In his grand finale, Markos needed Kassandra more than ever—the vengeful Cerberus brothers were at his door. As Markos begged for protection, Kassandra realized it might be too little, too late.
==Dialogue==
Kassandra returned to Markos at the vineyard.
*Kassandra: The Cerberus should stay away from you now.
*Markos: Er, well, maybe not after all. One of the farmers ran over. She was uh, not happy.
*Kassandra: Why?
*Markos: It seems I may have—or, I did—accidentally, of course... sent you to someone else's farm.
*Kassandra: It wasn't the Cerberus' farm.
*Markos: I could have sworn it belonged to the Cerberus! You have to believe me, my friend—an honest mistake.
<tabber>
|-|You should have made sure.=
*Kassandra: How could you not know? You know the island. I thought you had a plan.
*Markos: His men are always hanging around that farm... Must have been that pretty farmer. A common misconception!
|-|You're an idiot, Markos.=
*Kassandra: Maláka! Markos, sometimes I wonder how you walk around with a brain so small.
*Markos: You don't mean that! Come on, think of all the smart things I've done. Remember the Cyclops' eye?
|-|I burned down an innocent's farm.=
*Kassandra: I destroyed someone's farm. I knew something was off.
*Markos: I'll take on the debt and help them rebuild. Nothing else can go wrong!
</tabber>
*Kassandra: Another mess.
*Markos: You've known me longer than anyone. If you can't forgive me, Kassandra, who can?
*Kassandra: Someone with more patience.
(Quest begins here if silos were burned down prior to Farm in Flames)
*Markos: Are you going to make me beg? Because I'll beg. Spare me from the Cerberus!
Markos proceeded to kneel down.
*Kassandra: Markos...
*Markos: Have I led you down the wrong path? A few times, yes. Many times, maybe. But this is it for me, my friend!
<tabber>
|-|I don't want you to get hurt.=
*Kassandra: I can't keep you safe if you keep getting into trouble, Markos.
|-|I've done enough for you.=
*Kassandra: What happened to "everybody benefits"!? I've never benefited from helping you.
</tabber>
Markos slowly stood up.
*Markos: Think back to that sunny day when I found you, Kassandra. That was your day of need, and Markos came to the rescue! Come to my rescue today.
*Kassandra: I've paid you back plenty.
*Markos: That I can't deny. But the Cerberus will come with its dogs and its devotees, and I'll be finished! Protect me, and we'll come out on top.
*Kassandra: There's that "we" again...
*Markos: I'll tell you what. You protect me, and you get Mama's beloved battle axe! She used to be quite the fighter, believe it or not.
<tabber>
|-|Accept – I'll protect you.=
*Kassandra: All right. Let's keep you alive.
*Markos: Oh, I've never heard words more sweet! You'll never get rid of me now.
*Kassandra: That's why I do what I do.
*Markos: And just in time. I hear them approaching!
Cerberus' thugs approached the farm.
*Markos: All right, Markos, this is it. The grand finale!
Kassandra defeated the thugs.
*Markos: We did it, my friend! I'd say I was invincible, but I don't want to jinx myself.
*Kassandra: Yes, that's why you're alive.
*Markos: I joke, I joke. I owe you everything, Kassandra! For this, you get a lifetime supply of wine, and my friendship. Lucky you! Oh, and Mama's axe. Life will now be simple. All thanks to you. It's always thanks to you!
*Kassandra: A less dramatic life is just what you need, Markos.
*Markos: Go now, and adventure. Come back anytime for that cup of wine!
*Kassandra: Right... We'll see about that.
|-|Not this time.=
*Kassandra: I'm done, Markos. I've stuck my neck out for you more times than I can count.
*Markos: I have to do this all on my lonesome?
*Kassandra: Good luck. Chaire, Markos.
*Markos: You're really leaving? Ay! I have to hide!
</tabber>
==Outcome==
Kassandra learned that the farm silos she burned down belonged to an innocent farmer. She was left to decide Markos' fate for his actions against the Cerberus brothers.
==Behind the scenes==
If Kassandra decides to fight the Cerberus brothers, they can be knocked out and recruited as lieutenants for the Adrestia. The previous brother and Faas can also be recruited.
