"Chris, you expect me to believe that? That there's a war going on that nobody knows about?" She sighed. "Alex, trust me. You can help end it." Alex shook his head. "Is this some kind of game? I have to get back to work." He turned around and tried to walk into the building but she stopped him, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Trust me. You need to come. Now." Alex sighed, looked at the sky, and shook his head. "Fine." He followed her to her car, and she shoved a phone in his hands. "Call Leon. He knows and he wants to help." Alex dialed his number and Leon answered.

 

"So, did she convince you?" He asked. "I guess..." Alex responded. "But..." Leon hung up. Alex gave her the phone back. She sped down the street, going through three red lights before stopping in front of an abandoned house. She opened the door and basically dragged him up the walk. "What's the rush?" He asked. "I'll tell you later."

 

She dragged him down into the basement and pushed him onto the table. Leon came in and ran down the stairs, and began to type frantically on the terminal. "Um, what's going on?" There was no response as a clear arch went over his eyes. Instantly he was forced into it, his mind being dragged into the arch.

 

There was a white expanse all around him. "Okay... Chris, I'm a bit scared now." "Don't worry." Her voice echoed through the area. "You're going to be fine." He sighed when a room formed itself around him, white walls covered in blood. He found himself holding a man, who was muttering, "You... you will burn for what you've done..." And subconsciously, he stuck a knife into the man's stomach, killing him.

 

Then, Leon's voice echoed in. "No...no... shit. Wrong year." Again, the white space appeared, then disappeared, and he saw nothing but black. Then a crack of white. Then my vision fully came in, and there was a man there lifting me up. "Shh. Shh." He said, lifting his head to silence other people. "You are Giacomo Luce. You will fight with us." Then white again, and Alex came back. "Whoa! What the firetruck was that?" He said, sitting up.

 

(whoa, getting a bit long there o-o, so. If you don't want to read something like that, tl;dr Alex went into the Animus and was reborn as Giacomo Luce.)

"Come here Arsinoe,right here."One of the men in white said as Arsinoe was lead into this huge area. As she looked around there were a few people who were lying on crystal like beds,asleep or so it seemed. Arsinoe was very unsure. But what could she do with her parents insisting? Sincerely,all she wanted to do was to please them. Maybe in return she would finally get the respect she has always wanted from them. "So...what am I soppouse to do again...?"Arsinoe asks. Her 'parents' walked up. Her 'mother' was working on the strange machine as her 'father' grabbed her hand. "It is pretty simple. You see,your strand of ancestry reaches up to Italy,hundreds of years ago. In this war that we are going against...against the assassins. We need to change the past in order to change the future into our favor."Arsinoe's 'father' says. Her 'mother' walked up. "You will lay down,and you will be reborn as your ancestor: Celestina Rosetta."Her 'mother' says. Arsione letted go of her 'father's hand and rubbed her head a bit. "Then I have to collect these pieces of eden or whatever...right?"Arsinoe asks. "Yes. Exactly!"Arsinoe's 'father' says. They quickly got her laying down. Arsinoe was getting a bit worried as she saw the machine moving a big. "Um..."Arsinoe says. "Don't worry. You will be safe."Arsinoe's 'father' says. Her 'mother' turned to her. "Now listen. Remember that you must find the pieces of eden,and hand them over to the Templars. BUT. Your ancestor is an assassin. So we have the advantedge with you. Snoop around and use whatever you need with the assassins in order to find the pieces. Keep your friends close,and your enemies closer."Arsinoe's 'mother' says. Arsinoe satted up a bit. "But then,what do I do if I find the pieces?"Arsinoe asks. They layed her back down. "Hide it from them,and as soon as you have enough by using the assassins to get them. Rip the pieces out of the arms and quickly hand them over to the Templars,and keep them safe with them. That way,we will definately have a massive advantedge in this war. Understood?"Arsinoe's 'mother' says. Arsinoe noded a bit. "Yes...mother...I think."Arsinoe says. With that Arsinoe felt as she saw white.

 

~*~*~

 

Arsinoe felt as the white sorrounded her. She felt as if she was floating away in an extremely high speed. "What is...happening...to me...?"

"...wake up...wake up...wake up!!!!"

The girl quickly satted up,jumping a bit. She looked around. She was what it looked like a small box/balcony with blankets on the four exit sides. She then felt someone shake her by the shoudlers from behind. She quickly turned to see a man in a hood. "Good,you're alright. Thought you had been killed in your sleep. What were you thinking? I know you like to nap here but you must stop sleeping over-night here. Geeze."The man says. The girl blinked. "W...Where am I...?" The man blinked. "Guess you're still sleepy."The man says. He then handed her an apple and a glass of water. "Here. Breakfast."The man says. The girl stared at the apple for a minute as she took the glass. The man shook his head a bit. "You sure are a strange one,Celestina. Anywho. See ya."The man says as he walked away,muttering some Italian words on the way. The girl quickly looked up. "Celestina?"The girl asks. She looked down at the glass of water to see her reflection in it. She gasped and felt her face. "It worked...I'm Celestina..."

(24 Years Later...)

Luis sat on a bench, putting his head down and noting the sounds nearby. Paff, paff, paff, paff "Where is he? We can't let him escape!" They ran by the bench, not caring to even glance over its' occupants. Luis chuckled lightly and waited for them to pass. He stood up and strolled in the other direction. "Great work!" Leon's voice echoed into Luis' mind. He scoffed and shrugged it off. Those voices were really getting on his nerves. He walked to the wall and reached for the windowsill, and worked his way up. His target was supposed to be near Leonardo's old workshop. This game of cat and mouse was really getting old. He opened up the Pidgeon Coop and grabbed the bird with the letter on its' leg.

 

Your target has traveled to Venezia. Please assassinate him with great haste.

 

Luis sighed. He crumpled it up and shoved it into his pocket. "There! On him!" A man shouted. "There!" Another said. Shit! Guards! Luis thought. They never give up.

Celestina drank the water and then took a bite out of the apple. She chuckled and threw both back. "That old man needs to relax a bit more."Celestina says. She got out and stretched as she was on the roof of a small Assassin Base. She looked off and stared at the beautiful city. "This is why I love this place. No city is more beautiful than this."Celestina says. She stared out and then looked down a bit. "(Father,I wish you were here to see how beautiful this place is...)"Celestina thinks. She looked up and breathed,trying not to sigh. "At first they were my enemies,now,they are my teachers and allies...who...who do I really belong with I wonder."Celestina mutters to herself. She looked around and slightly shrugged. She then ran around the rooftop and jumped down into an ally. She stood up and walked up to the street and looked around. The city was buzzleling. "That's right,I should meet Raphael today at the shop. I hope I did not overslept on this."Celestina says as she walked away and down the busy streets.

Luis sprinted across the roof of the Church, the guards following suit. People stopped to marvel at the spectacle, pointing and chanting. He skidded to a halt at the edge of the roof, since the jump was too far to make. He turned around and saw the guards stop before him, looking smug. "Where to now, assassino?" The guard at the head of the group asked. "I was thinking of sending you to purgatorio, sporca feccia. (Purgatory; dirty scum)" The guard stepped back. "Attack him! Now!" The other guards obliged, and without any notice, Luis retracted his Hidden Blade and ran it through the party leader's chest. He threw the guard off the roof and drew his sword. "Anybody else?" He asked. The guards stepped back and jumped off the building. Luis sat on the ledge and rubbed his eyes. This was getting to be so much work. The targets were always on the move, no matter what, as if they knew an Assassin was coming for them. But he remembered, he had to hone his skills so he can strike a deadly blow on the Templars.

Celestina walked over to a small plaza that was sorrounded by shops. She looked around and found who she was looking for. "Fabrizio."Celestina says. The man turned to her. "There you are,Celestina. I have been waiting for over an hour,where have you been?"Fabrizio asks. Celestina walked over. "Sorry. I must of overslept. Those watchover balconies on the roofs are very comfortable."Celestina says. Fabrizio rolled his eyes. "Right. Anywho,you must have already found out why I have called you over."Fabrizio says. Celestina got a hand on her hip. "You have a mission for me?"Celestina asks. "Well yes,and something else. I have come to the realization that your birthday was last week,yet you never reminded anyone."Fabrizio says. Celestina shrugged. "It's just another day closer to death. Nothing much to celebrate about it."Celestina says. "It has been 11 years since you have joined us. Even if you don't see it as something good. To me it's a celebration worth celebrating."Fabrizio says. He then took out something,a brand new Axe. "And with celebration comes gifts. I have noticed that your axe has gotten a bit rusty,so I have gotten you a new one. Take it. Congratulations."Fabrizio says. Celestina semmed more than happy to take the Axe. "Oh Fabrizio it's beautiful! Thank you!"Celestina says as she waved the axe around in excitement. Just then they heard a racket. The two turned to see some Templars messing around with a man and his stand. "You have no permission to sell this type of merchendise here! Unless of course,you are willing to pay a 'fee'."A Templar says. Celestina's eyes narrowed. "Well that is rude of them."Celestina says. "Why don't you go and give it a try at that new axe?"Fabrizio suggested with a smile. Celestina smirked. "My pleasure."

Luis was jumping from building to building, searching for more guards to terrorize. He skidded when he saw two ruin a merchants' stand. "Please! I cannot pay this fee!" He cried. Luis crouched at the edge of the roof and readied his hidden blade when something shiny caught his eye. He looked down to see a girl approaching them with an axe. He put his hidden blade back and decided to see how she would deal with them.

Celestina walked up to them. "Hey,idioti!"Celestina says. The two guards then turned to her. "Who do you think you are threathening such innocent man? He is doing his job to be able to pay his worth. Leave him be,or else."Celestina says. She then heard the Templars laugh. "Who do you think you're messing with young lady?"The Templar says. "Hold on,I'm going to teach her a lesson."The other Templar says. He took out this huge sword. "You're messing with the wrong people,young lady!"The Templar says. Marina smirked. The Templar charged at her. Celestina blocked and spun the axe around the sword. She then kicked the Templar on the stomach hard. Then she rose her axe high into the air and brought it down,crashing it against the Templar's head. The helmet split open and blood gushed out. Celestina rose her axe again and swung it across it's head,slashing it's neck,almost decapitating the Templar. The Templar fell down,dead. Its head bearly hanging by the body by threads of flesh. People around started to freak at the scene. The other Templar stared and shook. "Y...You!"The Templar says. He took out a really big hammer and attacked towards Celestina. He smashed his hammer around,trying to hit her. Celestina blocked every attack. Just then she blocked and slid down between the Templar's legs and right behind him. Before he could turn Celestina got her axe sorrounding his neck. "Bye bye." With that,she ripped skin,muscle,and whatever else was in that part of the neck area,getting the capillary vein. As the Templar fell on his knees Celestina rose her axe and struck it down on the Templar again and again,smashing his body around 7 times. The people ran away screaming. Celestina stood up straight as her brand new axe was covered in blood. Fabrizio shook his head. Celestina was anything but stealthy. She preffered brutality over techniques. Many of the brotherhood would agree that she resembeled a Templar more than an assassin tenfold by her regretless and brutal way of fighting,more of that she enjoyed it. Fabrizio and others would try to prove them wrong,but some things could never be ignored from Celestina's attitude Celestina smirked. "Pretty easy."

Idioti - Idiot(s)

Edited September 30, 201213 yr by Stardustblade358

"Renaissance Italy. We need to put it into use now."

 

M, or Doctor Emmen Feyn as it said on the plaque above his door, turned to Vik with a concerned face. "We just finished it, Vik, all the bugs are finally out and it's ready for testing and you don't even want to put it through the projection tests? Going straight into the past may prove too much for it. We just developed the only animus in all of Abstergo that doesn't need the person who's memory we use to be the user, and you want to go right into Renaissance Italy?"

 

Vik had an impatient look on his face, he was always the more determined one, to a fault. "Yeah, M, that's what I want to do. You've heard it from the higher ups, we've got spy reports of Assassin's diving into that time frame we need to look into the time frame with our own tech, with out own people. We have to get there before them!"

 

M hated when Vik made it an "Us vs them" scenario. He was too black and white in thinking of the underground war between Assassin's and Templars. But he would just go to the higher-ups if M protested the use of the new Animus.

 

"Fine" M finally said, "However, I'm going to be the user."

 

"You?" Vik asked. "But why wo-"

 

"The only users that we've used have been those connected to the past through their ancestors, they were untrained, they were normal people. Using one of us may work out even better than previous test subject now that we're finally able to do it."

 

M knew what Vik was going to say before he said it. "I should go, M. I can be better at finding this info, and you'd just side step the conflicts needed to get there."

 

"You know damn well I'd do the job, Vik, you just want to be leading the front against the assassin's. Let me ask The Powers that Be, see who they prefer..." M had him now, Vik knew that the higher ups were aware of his temper and bias. He backed down. M climbed onto the Animus.

 

"So..." Vik said in his defeated voice. "... you'd be going in as... Marco Favezza, that's the ancestor of the guy who's DNA we're using, that's the ancestor that lived in the Renaissance. M, are you su-"

 

"Yeah, Vik, I'm sure.... do it."

 

 

 

Marco opened his eyes. Sicily, 5:00 AM. Time to get to work.

Fabrizio shook his head and looked up. "You are to violent. Why can't you be like your 'brothers' and 'sisters' of the brotherhood and think before you act?"Fabrizio asks. Celestina got the axe around her waist and walked around a bit. "Well,what can I say? 'It doesn't feel me',or something like that."Celestina says. "This reckless attitude of yours will one day get you in deep trouble Celestina."Fabrizio says. "So what? I have gotten in many troubles before,and have gotten out of them just fine! Maybe I just don't have the attitude to be like the rest. But atleast I can identify myself from the others."Celestina says. Fabrizio sighed. "Ever since that day,we made a promise that we would make you one of us. It has been a rough road and you're this close to being fully respected by your elders and yet you are still so naive!"Fabrizio says. "I never asked for you to rescue me from my doom! Who knows,maybe I was meant to die with my father that afternoon!"Celestina says. "Don't say that! Look. You are skilled beyond comparison to many of the other girls back at the headquarters. But you're missing something in you that is making you doubt. Maybe it is the past or the present."Fabrizio says. "Then what am I missing? What is it that is stopping me from reaching it?!"Celestina asks. "I cannot tell. Maybe forgiveness?"Fabrizio asks. "More like outcast. I feel like an idiot by even discussing this with you."Celestina says as she walked away. Fabrizio followed. "Wait,Celestina,your mission-" "Send a pigeon,I don't want to see you!"Celestina says as she walked away. Fabrizio sighed.

"Quite brutal. A bit... impulsive, too." Luis noted. She didn't take any time to think of a plan- she just did it. He leapt off of the ledge and picked up a dead body, a few people gasping and pointing at the sight. He threw them into the hay bales, and climbed up the building again. Now where did she head off to? He wondered. Well, it is of little matter. I do have a feeling that our paths may cross again. He turned around and jumped off of the opposite ledge, in front of the horse stables. "Salute, I was wondering if I could use a horse to travel to Venezia." The man shook his head. "The horses are gone. Somebody let them out when I was at home, sleeping." Luis sighed and walked away. Now how will I get to Venice?

Edited September 30, 201213 yr by Snow

The quick-tempered Celestina walked away. She walked down the streets,avoiding bumping into people. "How could he bring up something like that. I'm not a little girl anymore!"Celestina says. Then she realized how childish she was starting to act. She growled and walked over to a fountain and satted down on the edge of it. She sighed and held her head a bit. "(Get a hold of yourself Celestina,you're starting to lose it.)"Celestina thinks. She then felt something on her shoulder. She turned to see a pigeon. She picked it up and took out a note that was tied to its leg. She read it. 'Celestina,your mission is to kill a doctor who has been tipping off the enemy of recent assassin activity. This has already caused the death of a trusted ally. He can be found at the outsides of the city around the fields looking for medical ingridients. Kill him at once.' Celestina stared and stared as the pegion flew away. Celestina shrugged to herself and stood up as she stretched. "Well,that's something to worry later. Time to get to work."Celestina says as she walked away to the north side of the city.

Luis sighed and climbed down in front of the guards. "Hey! What are you doing?" They asked. "Shut up." Luis stated, felling them both with a single sword slash. He threw their bodies into bales. He was going to a workshop of a famous scholar, Machiavelli. He had his own, private stables for his personal use. Machiavelli was inside, writing on a piece of weathered parchment. Luis slipped into his courtyard and led a horse out while he was immersed in his writing. "All right." Luis muttered, climbing on to the horse and whipping the rains. "Andare! Andare!(Go! Go!)" He yelled, and his horse reared up and ran through the crowded streets.

Edited September 30, 201213 yr by Snow

Celestina walked up north of the city. She had her hands in her pockets. "Dannazione,maybe I should of eaten a better breakfest than just a simple apple."Celestina says with a slight blush of embaressment as she could hear her stomach growl. She growled to herself. "I'm so treating myself for something after this."Celestina says. She walked up to the gate and some guards stopped her. "Hold it. We're on a tight inspection for the moment,no one can get out of the city."The guard says. Celestina stared,obviously upset. "Oh,andiamo. Please let me through. It's only a second."Celestina says. "We cannot allow that young lady."The guard says. Celestina stared as her eye twitched a bit. "Either you let me through or I make my own way."Celestina says as she got her hand on her axe. "And making my own way can be pretty messy." "Please you must understand it's for precausion."The Templar says. Celestina tched. She looked around. She suddenly pointed upwards to a wall as she created a distraught expression on her face. "Who is that killing that innocent man?!"Celestina asks. The guards suddenly looked up to where she was pointing. With that Celestina took out her hidden blades and stabbed their necks hard. She letted go as the guards quickly bled out and fell on the ground. Celestina retreived her hidden blades. "Idioti."Celestina says as she walked passby their corpses. She walked to the outside of the city and walked off.

Dannazione - Damn it

Andiamo - Come on

"Brutal." Marco commented. He was on horseback, city walls rising before him.

 

Beside him, one of his primary templar contacts in the city. Marco has left his main home of Sicily weeks ago to travel to several missions. He was known through the order as effective, level-headed and overall intelligent. His earned enemies with his moderate view of the Assassin's, and his interest in merging the two groups or at least brokering peace, but his position allowed few to truly threaten him, and he was respected and needed far too much for anyone to take his stances too harshly.

 

"Yes" his contact began. "several templar agents have been killed without any reasoning."

 

"There is always reasoning, brother, at least in their minds..." Marco saw his destination come into view.

 

"As bloodthirsty as the assassins are, even this is too much violence than is normal. We have called you in to find some of them... and...."

 

"...stop them." Marco finished the sentence for the man. "That's why we are headed to this doctor? He is another contact for us?"

 

"Indeed." Marco's travelling companion stated. "We've found out about a plot to kill him on the part of the assassin's. If you wait around the area, we can lure the assassins into a trap, and you can..."

 

"....Do what I do best. I understand" They had arrived at the stall, Marco alone dismounted. He gave a silent wave to his traveling companion who headed back, taking the other horse Marco had traveled on with him. Now it was Marco, the doctor, and several passing citizens.

 

Marco walked past the doctor without words and sat at a bench, a book in his hand, and began to read. The Doctor was dumbfounded. "You... you're the one who's supposed to protect me? I give my information to you about the bloody assassins, and you come here to read a book and watch me die?"

 

"Calm down..." Marco had little time or interest to discuss the matter. "...I have not began to do my job yet. This is waiting... when the would-be assassin arrives, that is when I shall do my job, and believe me, doctor, I do it well."

Edited October 2, 201213 yr by MDSVeritas

Celestina walked back into the area with a bloody axe. Only a few minutes and she had already killed a few Templars for not answering her questions on where exactly to find the doctor. Luckaly yet unluckly her last victim spilled it out. Celestina muttered to herself as she walked up to a building. She was about to kick and lift up when she heard a voice. "You have grown so beautifully." Celestina turned to see a random Templar just standing there. Celestina glared. "Listen,I don't know you,and if you're a pervertito your head is coming off."Celestina says with no patience whatsoever as she got her hand on her axe. The man chuckled. "It has been years. Of course you wouldn't remember me,though I myself never expected to even see you again. I have heard so many rumors,yet this is a true first,ever since you left Roma-" "Who are you?! What do you know about me?!"Celestina asks as she gripped her axe. The man stared. "I worked for your father years ago. You were his proud and joy Celestina. I guess the rumors of you being kidnapped were true,since,we never found your body."The man says. "Answer my damn questions."Celestina demanded. The man sighed. "My name is Raimundo. I worked for your father Alexander ever since you were 5. I was moved her a few months ago and I have been watching you. You have truely growned to be a marvel."Raimundo says. Celestina tched. Raimundo stared. "It's not that hard to tell appart. You're the only girl I've seen who has a rose shaped birthmark besides your left eye."Raimundo says. Celestina covered the mark with her hair and looked away. "Stay away from me old man."Celestina treathened. "You can return home,you are welcomed-" "I already have a home."Celestina says. With that she kicked and held onto the rope as she was pulled up onto the cieling of the building. "What a wierd old man."Celestina says as she ran off. Raimundo sighed and walked away. Celestina jumped from roof to roof and started to walk on a rope over a street. She looked around. "He must be around here somewhere."Celestina mutters to herself. She then noticed a doctor at the corner. She smirked. "Bingo."Celestina says as she took out her hidden blade. She carefully walked around and over the doctor in a corner. She chuckled. "Surprise." With that she jumped down and was about to kill off the doctor.

Pervertito - Pervert

Edited October 2, 201213 yr by Stardustblade358

Marco had long ago named his twin blades the Winds. They were not like any swords made in Italy, they were thin, but strong, curved slightly and pointed. Made in the east. He had taken time to practice with them, to have them become an extension of himself. Like the actual wind, his blades moved swiftly, without obstacle, and they could be incredibly powerful and come down with a great force if the need arose.

 

It was the Winds that caught Celestina's hidden blade. "Ah, there you are." The doctor yelped and backed off a ways. "Aren't you people supposed to be subtle?" Marco mocked. He had taken on the entire force of her descent, and now redirected it, pushing her to his left. He spun the Winds once. "You have recklessness in your eyes, assassin. Did you think this would easy and quick?" Marco's words came out calculated and calm. He had been through this scenario several times before. He spun the Winds in his hands and gripped them tightly, a light smirk, not of joy, but of challenge, appeared on his face.

 

"Not this time, assassin."

Edited October 2, 201213 yr by MDSVeritas

Celestina fell down to the ground. She growled as she stood up. "Subtle my @$$,I have my own rules!"Celestina snapped. This was typical of her. Growing as the Templar Outcast of the Assassin brotherhood had made her personality drastically take a turn,starting with her father's death. The lovable yet ruthless Templar General who raised her. Celestina dismissed her hidden blade and took a step foward. "Look. Don't make this harder than it needs to be. One way or another,that doctor will be dead,and for your sake. I suggest you move."Celestina says. She then gripped her axe and swung it out. She spun it and held it tightly over her shoulder slightly. "Or else."Celestina says as she smirked. This templar seemed a bit different. Something about him was very curious. But Celestina's pride was pretty much blinding her from doing any analysis. Not like she did much anyway,she was simply not that kind of assassin at all. Celestina pointed at the doctor. "Stay put. I'm having your head after I teach this kid a lesson."Celestina says. She grabbed her axe tight and attacked foward towards the templar. She roared and slammed down her axe towards him.

"Halt. No citizens allowed through the gates." The guard said, using his palm to emphasize his words. "Fine." He said, dismounting his horse. "I see we must do this the hard way." The guard immediately understood, but didn't give him long to attack. He shoved his hidden blade through his chest, and tossed his body into a nearby well. He mounted his horse again and the gates shut in front of him. "Damn." Before the other guards could attack him, he rode off again. "Why won't they let anybody through the gates...?" He wondered aloud.

One of his blades caught the axe and Marco danced away from the blow. A strong attack. "Quite a bit of strength you've got there." Not many assassins used strength over finesse. Marco often beat those employing the very same tactic he used, but fighting someone who used all strength was something he could take easily any day. Perhaps a few more moves would be needed to find out.

 

Marco stood motionless for a moment before he walked to the side slowly. He counted silently, watching Celestina. Then, without any notice, he shot forward, one of his blades whipping towards her.

Celestina watched as Marco attactked straight at her with his blades. Celestina dodged to the side,but the very tip of his blade caught her cheek,giving it a small slice. Celestina jumped back while holding her axe. She then got her fingers to where the cut was and looked down at them. There was blood. She growled and got her axe to her shoulder. "Now you're asking for it boy!"Celestina says. She spun the axe and gripped it tight. She then charged at the boy and slammed her axe around towards him wildly. She was a smart girl,but she simply had the bad tendency ofo acting before thinking or even planning of a strategy. She then got her hand onto her back and took out a crossbow,fully loaded. She pulled it back and shot straight past Marco and at the doctor. The accuracy as matching and the arrow hit the wall,pinning part of the doctor's clothing against the wall as he was trying to scour away. "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!"Celestina yells. She reloaded another arrow and shot at Marco as she slashed her axe towards him again.

Marco was hit by the crossbow bolt in his right shoulder. "Gah" He stumbled to his knees, the axe missing him as he fell. He gripped the bolt in his shoulder and grumbled painfully. The blade in his right hand fell to the ground.

 

"Seems... seems you...agh, got me, assassin."

 

He looked up at Celestina. She now easily had the upper hand. "Well..." he grimaced. "...you....you gonna finish this... or what?"

Celestina smirked and kicked his blades out of his reach. "Why of course. It'll be a pleasure."Celestina says as she stabbed her axe down at his damaged shoulder. She seemed to chuckle with a bit of a maniac or crazed sense to her eyes. "But first,mission is a mission no?"Celestina asks. She turned to the doctor who was crawling away. She grabbed her axe and removed it from the templar's shoulder. For a few seconds she layed eyes off him and ran straight at the doctor. She jumped into the air and slammed down her axe onto his head,crushing it completetly. Blood splattered everywhere as Celestina rose her axe and struck down again at the man. His head was in pieces by a matter of seconds. Celestina lowered her bloody axe with a wild smile on her face. She then turned towards the Templar. "Now."Celestina says with a chuckle as she walked foward. She rose her axe a bit and then saw someone right behind the boy. It was the Templar from before,Raimundo. Celestina growled. She then heard a whistle. She turned to see her mentor. "Cazzo."Celestina says,angry that she was interrupted. She glanced back at the injured Templar. She only gave a smirk as she got her axe away. "Luck has shone upon you today. Next time,you will not be as lucky."Celestina says as she ran off and quickly got lost within the crowed.

Cazzo - F**k

Edited October 5, 201213 yr by Stardustblade358

"They took the bait?"

 

Marco stood up. He tore off the ripped tunic he had on, revealing a set of incredibly padded pieces of armor. The one of his shoulder had a crossbow bolt in it and a large cut that made it just to his actual shoulder and stopped. He tore off the pads. He didn't like losing, even if in feint, but this was too good of an opportunity. He turned to Zano.

 

"The girl was far too voracious for her own good. She'll think she's won this round. I suppose she'll have her doctor kill as her little pyrrhic victory, though. You've got men t-"

 

"Already on them" Zano responded. "I'm surprised Marco, I didn't expect your little farce to work."

 

"Not a farce, Zano, they're called tactics. That's what will finally lead us to them. And if not... we'll have some assassin's to talk to." Marco smiled and walked over to fetch the other blade of the Winds.

 

He mounted the horse Zano had kept in the stall beside the doctor's stall. Macro mounted and turned to Zano. "Keep tabs on those two. I'm gonna go wash up and deal with some business. I'll be back to get better acquainted with our friends soon. He rode off, rubbing his shoulder a bit. No real damage, he could still use his speed and dexterity just as well as before.Good.

 

Next time he'd make things more interesting.

Celestina ran off trying to out-run her teacher. She then quickly dove into a haystack and stood there hidden. She panted as she was a bit out of breath. "There. I think,I lost him."Celestina days. She then suddenly felt something poke her from the back. She yelped and turned to see it was a lance from a Templar who was inspecting the hay. She growled and grabbed the lance and pulled it. Dragging the Templar in. She then slit his troath open and jumped out of the hay as it slowly turned red with blood. "You are impossible." Celestina turned to see Fabrizio standing there. "Hey,I did my job."Celestina says. "You did your work,yes. But the way you did it...Celestina. Darkness remains in your heart. WHat is it that makes you so violent? Are you angry with us?"Fabrizio asks. "No,why would I be angry at the people who took my father away infront of my eyes?"Celestina says with a major dose of sarcasm. Fabrizio sighed. "Please. It had to be done. We have teached you why."Fabrizio says. Celestina turned away and stared at the water of the port,conflicted. Fabrizio tapped her shoulder. "Come home before dawn. Don't make me send others to get you."Fabrizio says as he walked away. Celestina simply stared at the water as tears fell down her face.
