Beyond the Laws of Physics~Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

Piece of Cake

*Kitsune PoV*

Took quite a to arrive in Damascus,especially since I wasn't used to riding a horse for that long,especially through such scorching heat,but I soon got used to it. The atmosphere among I and Altair wasn't the most pleasant,which is quite a pity. Getting by the gates of Damascus,however,the guards didn't let us pass,which left me confused.That is,when Altair got off his horse and went next to a tall building.

Kitsune:Um...what are we going to do?
Altair:watch and learn,kid.
Kitsune:Kid?!I'm actually 21,thank you very much!

He ignored me,regardless,and started climbing the tall tower,then scanned the area....and did a Leap of Faith right in a hay cart.

Kitsune:I see...So these things are still done in these times...
Altair:You don't do that anymore?
Kitsune:Let's just say we have...items that make climbing easier.
Altair:No wonder skimpy girls like you become Assassins.Has the Brotherhood quality degraded that much in the future?
Kitsune:Tsk.The Master Assassin of the weapons branch is much taller and bulkier than you are.And,for your information,technology makes everything better.Meaning,that I could kill you with one shot,from a kilometer away.
Altair:I'd like to see that happening.
Kitsune:Then come with me to the future and experience the Modern world for yourself...if you feel capable,that is.
Altair:IF they come to rescue you. Kitsune:*Smirks*Don't worry,they will.

Saying no more,he went to save a monk,and by blending in with him and his other peers,we easily got in the city,and started (totally not suspiciously) climbing and jumping on roofs,until we got to the Bureau,where we were greeted by Rafiq.

Rafiq: Altair. It's good to see you. And in one piece.I see you brought the young lady Al Mualim told me about,as well.
Altair: Rafiq,you as well, friend.And it was necessary,not wanted.
Rafiq: I'm sorry for your troubles.
Kitsune:Thanks for bad-mouthing me,Novice.
Altair: Think nothing of it.
Rafiq: A few brothers of yours were here earlier, in fact. Oh, if you'd heard the things they'd said... I'm certain you'd have slain them where they stood.
Altair: It's quite alright.
Kitsune:You deserve the gossips.
Rafiq: Yes, you've never been one for the Creed, have you?
Altair: Is that all?
Rafiq: I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget myself. What business brings you to Damascus?
Altair: A man named Tamir. Al Mualim takes issue with the work he does. I'm meant to end it. Now tell me where to find him.
Rafiq: Surely you remember how to track an enemy.
Altair: Of course! Learn where he will be and when. But that sort of work is best left for.... I understand.
Kitsune:*chuckles*You forgot you mission quite quickly.
Rafiq: Go and search the city. Determine what he's planning and where he works. Preparation makes the victor.
Altair: What can you tell me of him?
Rafiq: Tamir makes his living as a black market merchant. So the Souk district should be your destination. I would suggest you seek out the following places: a small souk northeast of here, the madrasah to our east. And in the gardens north of this Bureau. Focus on these places and he should become well known to you.
Altair: I assume you want me to return to you when this is done.
Rafiq: Yes. Come back to me. I'll give you Al Mualim's marker, and you'll give us Tamir's life.
Altair: As you wish.
Kitsune:Sounds like a plan.
Rafiq: Remember, Altair, if you find yourself in trouble, and the city turned against you, return to the bureau. I can shelter you from the storm. Be warned though: if your enemies are too close, my door will remain closed, until you've lost them. Do you understand?
Altair: Yes. To bring the enemy inside would compromise the Brotherhood.
Kitsune:Oh,so now you care about the Brotherhood?This could have been avoided much easier if you truly did.
Altair:You know nothing of my faith in the Brotherhood.
Kitsune:Nor do you,it seems.
Rafiq:Off you go,no more fights!
