Flowers for the Dead

Flowers for the Dead 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 a dying old man who wanted to do one last thing before he departed.
==Dialogue==
While near the Knossos Palace, Kassandra met an old man who was collecting flowers.
*Civilian: You there! Misthios!
Kassandra approached the old man.
*Kassandra: What's on your mind, old man?
*Civilian: I'm dying, misthios. I can feel it in my bones. But first, there's something I need to do. Will you help an old man fulfil his dying wish?I can offer you what drachmae I have left.
*Kassandra: I won't deny an old man his final wish. What is it?
*Civilian: I always promised my wife I'd take her to see the red flowers on the summit of the mountain in Zeus' Playground. It's a beautiful place—great view.But she met the ferryman before me, misthios. I never made good on my promise.It was always one thing or another, you know?Children, war, what have you.

|-|You should have made an effort.=
*Kassandra: If you'd tried harder, she might have gotten to see the view.
*Civilian: I tell myself that every day.
|-|We all have regrets.=
*Kassandra: It was a tough situation. You did your best.
*Civilian: You're a kind soul, misthios. But I failed her... I did.
</tabber>
*Kassandra: So what do you want me to do?
*Civilian: I need you to pick some of those red flowers for me from the Summit of Mount Ida so I can take them to my wife when I meet Hades.Just a few would do. Bring them back to me here. I'll be waiting, misthios. And—I don't have long.
*Kassandra: I understand.
Kassandra headed to Mount Ida and reached the summit.
*Kassandra: This must be the place the old man spoke of.
She found the flowers among the bushes.
*Kassandra: There it is. The flower.
She picked up the flowers.
*Kassandra: The flowers... I should hurry back to the old man near Gortyn.
Kassandra quickly returned to where the old man was at. There, she found a lady near a covered body instead.
*Kassandra: Hades claims another.
*Civilian: In all my life, I've never seen him so peaceful. I hope he's found mater.Those flowers... Are they—
*Kassandra: Yes. He asked me to fetch them.
*Civilian: You silly old man. Is this why you left Pephka? To fetch mater flowers so far from home? You silly, stubborn, old man...
<tabber>
|-|Here, take them.=
*Kassandra: Here.
Kassandra handed over the flowers.
*Civilian: Thank you so much, misthios.
*Kassandra: He made a promise to his wife. And I made a promise to him.
*Civilian: I don't have anything to offer you—
|-|I was promised compensation.=
*Kassandra: Your father promised me his drachmae.
*Civilian: Oh. Here, it's all he had on him.
*Kassandra: Thank you, old man.
</tabber>
*Civilian: Mater must be so glad you brought her flowers. You never did when she was alive...
==Outcome==
Kassandra helped the old man recover flowers for his wife, although he never lived long enough to see Kassandra return with them.
==Trivia==
*Though the in-game model of the flowers on Summit of Mount Ida resembles the poppies, the quest item image doesn't, nor the man's description of them as 'rare'.
*If the flowers are merely given, the only reward for this quest is experience. If a reward is insisted on, the daughter gives the old man's armor and some drachmae.
