I'll do what I can.
KASSANDRA WAS STARTING TO HATE THESE PORTALS.
Granted, this was only, like, the third time she was unwillingly ripped from what she was doing, but it was three times too many. The first one, the Blood Gulch incident, had introduced her to the notion of new worlds and her shiny new suit, but that was honestly where the portal stuff should have stopped. She didn’t count the time she was enlisted to save the worlds, since that was voluntary. No, she was talking about the second time she was thrown out of ancient Greece, thrst upon an island in the middle of nowhere. Granted, Aloy had been there, and they’d met a couple other girls, but she definitely could have gone without dealing with incompetent pirates and a drunken malaka who’d thought it’d be hilarious to diss the girl group and Kassandra’s own prowess. But eventually, one way or another, Kassandra’d been returned to her mobile home, the Adrestria. And for a short time, it seemed like the Eagle Bearer would be left in peace to live out the rest of her days in her world.
Well, if the Fates existed, they had other plans yet again.
This time around, instead of catching her diving into the sea, the rift opened up as she was leaping from the statue of Athena, aiming to hit a pile of flowers to cushion her fall. Instead, Kassandra’s expectations were shattered as she flipped over; the moment she was facing directly skywards, she was swallowed up by the portal and promptly smacked the ground below her hard with a loud “THUD”. Once again, Ikaros was smart enough to follow through the gateway before it closed, and landed upon his owner’s chest. She let off a soft groan as she lifted her head to see her surroundings this time. However, she immediately recognized the Parthenon’s general shape, except...
“...Oh, by the gods... Am I..?”
Sure enough, she very well was in Athens. There was no mistaking that Parthenon shape, but it was absolutely run-down. This had to be the capital of Democracy, but in a different time period. She grimaced as she pulled herself up to her feet, Ikaros flying off her as she did. She did a quick check by possessing Ikaros for a moment, flying high up to see that this was, indeed, Athens. Many of the landmarks she recognized looked like they’d suffered the same test of time the Parthenon did, but more importantly there seemed to be a more populated area close by. She stopped controlling Ikaros, letting the bird fly off to scout for her beforehand.
And that’s when she heard a voice. A Greek voice. And a voice she certainly recognized. Well, sort of.
“Grand...pater?” The brunette turned around, running around the corner of the Parthenon to encounter the man in question. The Spartan gear looked similar to what she was used to, so he was from a similar time period. But... That was the Spear of Leonidas, in its full, glorious state! Granted, it didn’t look the same as her own Spear(head), but she felt an attraction to the man’s giant spear that was unmistakably from her family heirloom. She drew her own spear, though not in an aggressive way, offering it for the man to see.
“You aren’t... King Leonidas, are you?” She wasn’t sure how to put this encounter into words. The only time she’d seen him was in “Atlantis”, and that was a completely different story. To meet her grandfather in person, wielding a weapon she carried now... it was unreal. Either way, she wasn’t sure how he would react; sure, she wasn’t wearing her futuristic Hephaestus supersoldier armor, and was currently clothed in her normal red misthios’ (mercenary’s) garb, but there was still no telling what would happen in the next few moments...
Meanwhile, on Ikaros’ end, the bird had taken it upon himself to fly around the main city of Athens, scouring each street and alleyway. It didn’t take him long to spot a certain black-haired woman who’d just arrived in Athens herself. Tifa Lockheart would likely hear the Golden Eagle’s soft caw before he flew down into the alleyway, perching on a balcony above before tilting his head at the bartender as if waiting for her to either acknowledge him or decide on what she wanted to do.
