At last I see the truth. Where they told me nothing is true and everything is permitted. It is not embracing our free will as humans and children of Eden, but warning us of that freedom and lack of truth in the world. A warning to ourselves about ourselves and all others, no matter who they are. We two have the same ends and if you look close enough, we have nearly identical means to our ends. Peace. One seeks peace through order and one seeks peace through demolishing that order and bringing "equality" to all. Similar goals and similar paths, although we are blind to this, the truth shrouded by the hatred and mistakes of our fathers. It's so easily forgotten that the crosses of our ancestors are not ours to bare. However, should we choose to bare them, then we must call upon our old enemies for help, for their strength added to ours will ease this burden. We find strength in one another, if I reach my hand out, I want to find another hand extended to take mine. For so long we were two powers buried beneath the surface, controlling the above, constantly clashing but seldom meeting. We must come out of the shadows and drop our blades at our sides. Come with me brothers and sisters, let us shepherd this world into a new light. We are not Assassins nor are we Templars, we are one. "I swear to uphold my Creed, for nothing is true and everything is permitted. With this knowledge, may the Father of Understanding guide us through to the end, as one people."
