"What's this Torres doing looking for this observatory when you're holding the treasure yourself?" Anne asked Edward as we made our way to the Observatory. "Torres doesn't know I have it." Edward responded. "So why bring it to him and risk its capture." Anne said. "I'd like him to know that Bela and I have it, just before he dies." Edward respond.

Anne looked over at me. "How are you doing?" She asked. "My arm hurts but it actually kind of hurt that I had to kill Alina but she betrayed our family... She confirmed that Albert and Vira are in London but where in London.. It's still a mystery." I said. "You did what you had to and believe me, you will find your siblings soon." Edward said.

..........

We came to a stop and saw Torres's ship. "Who's this Torres? And what's your man done to earn a death sentence?" Anne asked. "He's a Templar." I said. "Like Rogers and Hornigold. Men cooking up schemes to use the observatory for ill purposes. For power and control. The violence he would cause with this thing would be subtle but heavy. Deadly, yet leaving a no mark. Does that make sense?" Edward finished asking Anne.

"Like if there was a Drought and People was thirsty and one man had a large cask of water but gave a sip to none. He'd be a killer with no blood on his hands." Anne said. "Aye, like that." Edward said to her. "Fair enough." She said as we looked ahead.

......

We made it to the observatory. "Holy mother of god. Is this the place we've come to see?" Anne asked. "Indeed." I replied. "Stand watch here and let none follow." Edward said to Anne. "Be careful you two." Anne said. " Don't worry, I'll be fine." I tell her as I ran in with Edward.

....

"Captain Kenway... Ms. Bela Volkov... Even a splinter in my side. "Does this murder fulfill you both?" He asked us. "We are only seeing a job done, Torres. As you'd have done with us." Edward responded. "As we have done, I think. You have no family anymore, no friends, no future. Your losses are far greater than ours." Torres said. "No... you are wrong about Edward... he still has me and so many... but we do know this... Killing you rights a far greater wrong than we ever did." I said. "You honestly believe that?" He questioned us.

"You would see all of mankind corralled into a neatly furnished prison, safe and sober, yet dulled beyond reason and sapped of all spirit. So aye... with everything i've seen and learned in these last years, things I have learned from this woman right here...I do I believe it" Edward said to him "You wear your convictions well.. They suit you..." He said. "Hell is going to suit you." I said, then he took his final breath. I sighed in relief.

......

"Torres awakened something fierce! Are we safe?" Edward asked. "With the device returned, I believe so." Ah Tabai said. "What d'ye call this place?" Anne asked. "Captain Kenway's Folly!" Adewale exclaimed. I chuckled softly at him. "Quiet now. Go back to sleep.)" Ah tabai chanted. "We will seal this place and discard the key. Until another sage appears, this door will remain locked." Ah Tabai explained. "There were vials when I came here last. Filled with the blood of ancient men, Roberts said. But they're gone now." Edward said. "Then it's up to us to recover them. Before the templars catch wind of this.You both can join us in that cause." Ah Tabai said. "We will.. Only after Bela finds out where her siblings are and I fix what I mangled things back home." Edward said. "Speaking of that... Bela, I got word that your siblings are in Westminster of London and They received your letter and I received one back, they are safe and they can't wait to see you again." Ah Tabai said. My heart leaped with joy, he handed me the letter.

Edward patted my shoulder. "It arrived last week along with Bela's." Edward said. He opened the letter as I opened the letter. Heartbreak spread cross Edward's face. His wife Caroline passed away. He has a daughter... as for my letter, My siblings were happy to hear from me again, they hoped I stopped Alina which I did, that they can't wait to see me again.

As we walked out, Edward handed me a letter. "Edward, I am sorry about Caroline." I said to him, "It's alright, I am glad you got word from your siblings, read that when you get a chance too." He said as he walked ahead. I looked at the letter...
