Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Eagle's Path || a PJO/AC Crossover

Chapter 6: Meeting the Hero {Again}

Emily POV:
I've heard the rumours spread around the Assassin bureau since today, that a new person joined the Assassin brotherhood. It was nothing new, since I first joined the brotherhood with my older sister, Elizabeth, or I like to call her 'Izzy'. She wasn't the only one in the fire when the house burned down, me and her survived after the fire, but she acts like she doesn't want to be around me, mostly because I used to tease her as a kid. It was hard after seeing our mother and father being buried together, and then living together in an orphanage. Until then me and Izzy were adopted by the head master of the Assassins, Arron Tabai when I was only 8. He found us at the orphanage, and adopted us into the brotherhood, and explained to us about our parents, who they truly were, and what they did. It turns out they were actually Assassins, who fell in love with each other and retired when my mom was pregnant for my older sister. But that didn't stop there, because the Templar order, also known as Abstergo Industries, were going starting a hunt for the Assassins to even the odds and put an end to our creed. My parents were the first target, so they did it by burning their house, burning them alive while me and my sister barely survived from the ashes and debris. So me and Izzy were working together as we trained. When we were ready, my sister did contracts by herself, no support, no help, no problems. She was the top dog Assassin, and I was left in the dust, so I usually stayed here, and I trained carefully and freely, and I was a true master swordsman, or swordsWOMAN in my case. Now we are losing more Assassins by the day, with so many of them dying by Templar hands rather than theirs, we needed more Assassins, especially one who I was told he gave his life to save everyone's throughout the planet; Desmond Miles. We had desperate measures, so master Tabai starting sending out Assassins to find people who are perfect and challenged enough to join us, especially this new Percy Jackson.
I sat at one of the desk in the library, looking through the old books and manuscripts by the burning wax candle. I always found interest in learning about the Assassins, and how they've been hunting Templars and learning about the first civilization. Altair, Ezio, Edward, Connor, Arno, Evie and Jacob, and so on. Many decades of these heroic and legendary Assassins who gave their lives in the name of truth, vengeance, brotherhood, liberty, and honour. I looked around and saw not that many Assassins here studying, including the information and historical expert, Shaun Hastings, so I felt alone. Then I looked up and saw a new guy here in modern white robes, so he must have been Percy Jackson, the new guy I've been hearing about, though I couldn't recognize him with his hood up. He walks past the library, and approaches master Tabai's office room, and I wanted to see what was going on, so i closed up the book, leaving a red bookmark on my current page, and slowly approached near the entrance, and I eavesdropped on the conversation. "Ah, Percy Jackson. Please, sit" I heard master Tabai say, Percy sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and took his hood down, where I could only see his black wavy hair. "It has seems that Elizabeth's plan to bring you here was successful, and yet smart too", that's my sister. "Now, as you already known that your former relative, your stepfather, Paul Blofis has passed away, and was thought to have been an accident. Is that true"? "Yes sir" Percy replied. "Then it was no doubt it was Templar conspirators. Have you ever heard of those stories of the first crusaders, the Knights Templar back in the Middle Ages"? "No sir I have not" Percy replied. "Well you see, Percy, the Templars were an organization, a first crusade for the order of justice and the church. They were growing powerful at the time, taking innocent civilians for prisoners, slaves, and finally, execution, all for power and order. And that's where the Assassins, us, were created to save civilization, and put an end to the Templar order, where we had such little time and support to do so. We all thought it was done when we led an attack on the final Templar leader, Jacques de Molay, who was burned to death. But we didn't think it would take that much time to put an end, for many decades, with Rodrigo Borgia, otherwise Pope Alexander the sixth, Cesare Borgia, Prince Ahmet, Haytham Kenway, and Francious Germain, which all led to here, where Assassins and Templars still live in modern times. Paul was a former friend of the brotherhood, and he always gave us important information. You would know the enemy as the Templar order, but normal people would now them as Abstergo Industries". "W-wait" Percy said, "Abstergo? That virtual entertainment company? Why would they be the Templars, they seem like good people-". "Yes. They do LOOK like good people. But in fact, they're using people, using their memories from their ancestors to help them find something that they keep searching for ever since Masayaf, which is something not worth talking about now. But did you ever see something unusual about them"? Percy put a finger to his chin, and then replied "then again. During the eagle's path, I saw how Paul was killed, by a guy in a cloak with the red Templar cross pin, and when I killed him, I searched him, I found a contract to find and kill him. And a folder with the Abstergo logo on it, and it said P.O.E. Project. Do you know anything about that"? Tabai, seemed concerned of it, and he even sat down to think about it, and I wondered what he was thinking about it. "Maybe I do, but I need time with the council to think about it. Until then you must train, learn how to climb to your limits, literally. And how to find in combat which you will need in time, once you are ready to fight the Templars". "But hold on" Percy interrupted, "wasn't I already ready to fight the Templars"? Tabai out his hand to his forehead, and said "yes, but you will need additional training. The Templars are more powerful than you think, armed with rifles, hard combat, and accuracy, so you will need enough of the same. In fact... I will give you a partner for your help in training. Emily"! I heard him call me. Guess I wasn't discreet with eavesdropping after all, I stopped hiding by the doorway, and showed myself, walking in. Percy turned, and I saw his faces his hair was black and wavy, with a small greyish spot fading, and he had a handsome face, young, but starting to move into manhood, and he had very bright green eyes, sea-ish, and he was starting to grow a small beard. He looked yet athletic and handsome altogether. "Percy. This is Emily Mérciér, you have already met her older sister, Elizabeth. And Emily will be your combat and climbing trainer for the meantime. I hope you two will get along nicely". Percy stood up, and walked towards me, letting his hand out, and he said "hi". I was probably blushing, thinking 'I like him'. I let my hand out and shook his, "hi" I replied. "So welcome to the creed Percy. I hope you follow us, follow the creed". He nodded, and said "of course, thank you". I looked around at his belt, straps, and his empty holster. No weapons. "Where are your weapons"? "Um, I didn't get any yet". I chuckled, and said "well we better get you some, otherwise, you wouldn't survive against even a single Templar", and I looked over to master Tabai, who was now sitting down at his desk, watching us. "Permission to be dismissed master? And to access the armoury"? He nodded, "granted". "Thank you" I bowed to him, and me and Percy exited the room, where master Tabai attended back to his papers.
Walking down to the armoury, me and Percy started talking, "so when did you join the Assassins"? He asked me. "Well, what's much to tell? My parents were killed in a fire caused by Templars, and me and my sister survived it. We went into an orphanage, and then Tabai adopted us into the creed, and we found out our parents were retired Assassins. My sister always got the contracts she was given, and she did it with ease. Me, I don't do that many contracts, but I mostly information contracts, but I find it a waste, since I'm a master at wielding swords". "I doubt that". "No, I'm serious, I feel like I'm not acceptable for anything". "No I was talking about the swords. I don't think you're THAT good" Percy joked. I scoffed, and said "oh really?! Well when we start training, I'll prove you wrong". "Good luck with that" he replied. We stopped, facing the steel doors to the armoury, and I turned the Assassin emblem on the door clockwise, until there was a small rumbling, and the door lowered down, opening up the armoury. Filled with weapons all from knives, swords, pistols, rifles, and bows and arrows, all hung on wooden racks and display cases. "Take a look around Percy. Find three weapons, and equip them. Then we'll begin your training". Percy nodded, and he started looking around in awe at all the weapons we had. Then after a moment, he picked out three weapons, a iron cinquedea dagger, a steel cutlass sword, and also a PSM pistol, and equipped them. "Ready"? I asked. "I'm ready" he replied. "Alright then, let's head to the training room now. Then I'll show you how good I am at a sword", and I pulled out my favourite french rapier swords from the swords rack, then we started walking to the training room, which was more like a skate park, for parkour climbing, a square arena for sword fighting, and a separate shooting range. Many assassins were practiced with their climbings, putting their hands and foots in support to pull themselves up, as though climbing a building. Percy was in a shocked look at the second he saw this, and probably thinking 'What. The. heck'?! And then I asked "you okay"? He snapped out of his shock. "Huh? Oh, y-yeah, I'm okay. But all of this looks very hard, especially the climbing walls, and I almost lost my life doing a climbing wall once". I blurted out laughing, and said "well don't worry Percy. All of this is perfectly safe, and you will be training hard in order to learn how to do so. But first..." I unsheathed my sword and pointed the tip at his chest. "Let's see if young better at swords fighting than me". He smiled, and unsheathed his sword, doing the same as me. "Alright then. But don't start crying when you lose". I smiled, and said "show off". "Should've brought a bucket of tears". And we then started training, and having a good and fun time about it.
