Description: Kaileena and the Prince first meet when Shahdee tries to kill her. The Prince defeats Shahdee, saving Kaileena. When she meets him later in the game, she frequently tells the Prince not to continue his journey, continually telling him that his fate cannot be changed. Although she says this, she helps him throughout the game, giving him knowledge about the castle's towers, which are used to open the door to the empress' room. Despite Kaileena's advice against it, the Prince continues his journey around the island activating the towers along the way. When the prince opens the door, it is revealed that Kaileena herself is the Empress of Time. She sent Shahdee to kill him, hoped the Dahaka, the towers and her guards would finish him off, even cursing the swords that she gave him. All to save herself from her own fate: to be killed by the Prince. They fight and she is defeated, releasing the Sands of Time unintentionally. The non-canonical ending involves Kaileena being killed yet again. However, the canon ending features the defeat of the Dahaka instead, and the salvation of Kaileena. Following the canonical ending, The Prince and Kaileena sail back to Babylon, but because of the Prince's efforts on the Island of Time to prevent the Sands from being created, the events of the original game never happened, and the Vizier still lives. He is the one who has taken over the city and killed its defenders. The boat they sail on is attacked and destroyed, and the Prince and Kaileena drift to shore. Kaileena is taken to the Vizier, in order to kill her and unleash the Sands of Time. However, the Prince gives chase, heading to save her. But as the Prince arrives, he is struck by Mahasti, using the daggertail, a razor blade chain weapon, restricting him and stopping him from reaching Kaileena. The Vizier kills her, thus releasing the Sands of Time, corrupting all around them, including the lieutenants, the Vizier's minions, and, partially, the Prince himself. When the Prince defeats the Vizier at the end of the game, Kaileena appears once again, incarnated in the Sands. Kaileena thanks the Prince and removes his sand corruption and the daggertail, before leaving for an unknown world with the Sands of Time. Kaileena also narrates the events of The Two Thrones throughout the game.
