Leap of Faith - Assassins Creed X National Treasure - Reader Insert Fanfiction

Chapter 16

You have to stop and put the jacket on.

You pull it on, but don't zip it up, leaving your body camera as is. You then pull your backpack over everything, as one usually does.

You check your watch. It's going on nine P.M.

"Damn. Should have known better than to explore this close to dark."

The next room you enter is a large circular room. There's nothing in it, it's just a large round room.

You switch off your Eagle Vision and survey the room.

There is only one way in and out, and you just came through that doorway. On the floor in the center of the room, is a large mural of some constellation. You can tell that much by the arrangement.

Above is an oculus, showing the night sky above.

That part is mind-blowing.

After you find the words, you ask, as you tilt the body camera upwards. "Alright, we've been going downhill this whole time. Anybody wanna explain to me how there's a functional skylight? Well. At least we now know why it got colder."

You switch off your headlamp. The room is still brightly lit from the skylight.

"The bow is powered by the moon." You mutter, realizing the moon is the light source in this room.

You approach the seal, but do not step on it.

First off, it would be disrespectful. And Secondly, you saw a movie where something like this for crossed, and it wound up bringing down the whole place.

You don't wish to experience that being so far underground.

"So where is the bow?"

You tilt your head, looking at the constellation.

"Connect the dots?" You wonder aloud "Why not?"

You holster your Glock, flick out a Hidden Blade, and tilt it so it catches the moonlight.

It takes a couple of tries, but you do connect the stars with the moonbeam.

The stars now glow as if you had flipped a switch.

You hear the sound of a lock disengaging, followed by a low rumble, then multiple clicks.

The mural rotates slowly, then opens up in a spiral pattern.

A small pedestal raises up from the opening.

On the pedestal is a glittering silver wrist bracer.

"I did it!" You exclaim, "I found a piece of Eden!"

"Just like I knew you would." Says a voice you really wish you could lose.

"Lamina." You growl.

You hear the sliding sound as Absturgo agents, dressed in black uniforms and body armor, repel down from the Oculus.

In a moment of panic, you snatch the artifact off the pedestal and dash away. If anything so you couldn't be so easily captured.

You turn to face them, if you hadn't moved, you would have been surrounded. 

Hurridly, you put the bracer on over Riley's jacket and your Hidden Blade. It fits like it somehow auto-adjusted to fit. 

Seeing the bracer up close, it is gilded in silver, and in the center on the outside, is a sapphire, about the size of an egg. It's recessed into the bracer to give it more of a sleek design. 

Lamina rappels down from the oculus.

You feel your heart hammer against your ribs. 

This far. I came this far, just for them to come down through the roof. You think, bitterly taking a ready position.
