Me and Shay walk to the training area I see Hope sitting on the fence. When she sees us she jumps of.
"You both are late," Hope says.
"Oh, what did we miss?" Shay asks snugly. He grabs the tea pot from the fire and he pours himself a cup of tea, and he pours me a cup and he hands it to me.
"Only the first hour of training," Kesegowaase says. I sit on the fence, and I drink my tea. Shay turns to Kesegowaase.
"We're always training Kesegowaase," Shay says. Kesegowaase stands up.
"And we'll continue to do so," Kesegowaase says.
"Do not waste your words, Shay abhorreds improvement as much as cats abhor leashes," Hope says and smiles. I giggle a little. Then she walks up to him, "a pitty the boy has so much potential," Hope brushes her fingers across his back. I glare at her, feeling a little jealous, "but so little discipline," Hope says to Shay.
"Alright, alright, what would you have me do?" Shay says. Liam turns to Shay.
"Well played," Liam says waving for Shay to follow him. Before leaving, Shay kisses my cheek and then he leaves with Liam. Hope turns to me.
"Happy birthday, Kathryn," she says. I smile.
"Thank you," I say
Hope look at me and then she spots something.
"Kathryn, what is that?" Hope asks me. I look at her confused.
"What is what?" I ask her.
"What is that on your hand?" Hope comes up and she grads my hand, "that's a beautiful ring, where did you get it?" I smile. I whisper in her ear.
"Shay proposed," I whisper.
"Really?" She asks. I smile and I nod. Hope hugs me, "When did he propose?"
"Today," I say smiling. Hope grins.
"What exactly did he say when he proposed?" Hope asks. My smile gets bigger.
"He said that he couldn't live without me, and that he loved me, and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me," I say. Hope looks to the direction that Liam and Shay went in.
"So what do you think those boys are doing?" Hope asks me. I shrug.
"Training I guess,"
Shay's POV
"So, what's the challenge today?" I ask Liam. Then he pulls out two of his guns.
"Shoot straight and true, here you can use these," Liam says and he gives them to me.
"These are yours," I say.
"Well I want you to have half a chance, go on," Liam chuckles. I face face the three targets, "Shoot the targets," I shoot the first two, but then I have to reload the gun, "reload!" I reload the gun and then I shoot the last target, "anyone can hit targets standing still, let's see how you do while running,"
Then I run while shooting the all six targets that were scattered around the training area, while beating Liam's time at the same time.
"Well done Shay, keep it up," Liam compliments me I hand him back his guns. A little while later I walk up to Achilles, me smiles when he sees me.
"Shay, I heard you have become quit the marksman," Achilles says and he hands me two guns.
"A generous gift Mentor, thank you," I thank Achilles for the guns.
"My ship awaits Achilles, the people of Haiti will make good of your supplies," Adewale says, "I trust that you will retrieve what has been lost,"
"Lost?" I ask in confusion.
"The Templars stole two precious artifacts, a Manuscript of ancient wisdom, and a box that allows one to understand it's language," Achilles explains to me. Adewale turns to me.
"I have tracked the Templars far off this coast, but I fear the rest is up to you my friend," Achilles says.
"Farwell Adewale," Achilles says goodbye to Adewale. Me and Achilles start walking, "whoever controls the artifacts, can access Precursor Sights of power, we must recover them, or none are safe," Achilles past my back and then he leaves.
I find Liam and Kathryn by the docks and I walk up to them.
"Where to," I ask Liam.
"Where ever Templar affairs lead us," Liam says. I turn to him.
"Liam, it's not like you to set out without a plan," I say.
"Plan or no plan, we choose our own battle field," Liam says, "and hey we're not most at ease when we are at sea," Kathryn laughs a little.
"Your right Liam, the last time I was on that ship I fell of," Kathryn says. I put my arm around her.
"And that won't happen again, will it darling?" I say to her lovingly. She smiles and she pecks my lips.
"Lets set sail," I say to both Liam and Kathryn. Then we get on The Morrigan and we set out to find the artifacts.
