Alexa quickly showed up and both of us got into a minivan with the assassin. Alexa told me to trust them, and I trust Alexa completely. But the second I got in, they strapped me back into the animus.

FERGUS' POV
1734 November 17th
THANE 24
GAVIN 23
ALISTAIR 17
ARLAN 14
FERGUS 12
Thane had taken father's family sword and the family crest. He had taken it a year early, and he took on the role as the man of the house. With his new role, he had to get over the tragedy as soon as possible.
The loss broke our family, taking a big impact. Thane had started to train us all, to make sure it doesn't happen again and to distract us. We would visit their graves individually every now and then, while I would visit Arlan's every Friday night.
"You should have seen Gavin!" I smiled, running my fingers against Arlan's headstone, "He's so talented now. He could probably take down an army of gods!"
I turned to the headstone, "Your birthday is soon"I smiled, "Where all our brothers come together to see you and dad."
I then turned my head to the headstone on the other side of me, "And, father. You did so well, Thane is doing so well as our teacher. He's so amazing! Nearly as amazing as you are!"
"Fergus! Dinner!" A faint yell called from the other side of the hill. It was Alistair, he always had to tell me to come back.
"Well, I have to go" I smiled, getting up, "I'll never forget you two."
and I made my way back home, but quickly stopped by another headstone. Standing in front of it. "And... Although I never met you..." I whispered, "And that you gave your life to me," I bowed my head, "You were probably the strongest and most courageous out of us boys." I smiled weakly at Anna's grave, my mother's grave.
"Fergus!" Alistair yelled again.
I smiled, "Bye!" I waved as I ran towards Alistair.

"I hope you didn't snitch on me to Arlan" Thane joked, placing down the plates, "Arlan would've attacked me if he knew I went through his old drawings"
We giggled. I liked the subtleness, I liked that we no longer cried at the name, and we were able to embrace him, even if he's no longer here.
Sometimes I like to believe Arlan, mother and Father are still sitting at the table with us.
Gavin smiled at me, "You're such a strong man, Fergus. One day you're going to make us all proud" he smiled, gripping onto my hand, "Don't cry because it's gone, smile because it happened." he assumed I may have cried when I was at the graves, "We all are always by your side."
There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Thane insisted, getting up. He walked over to the door.
I nearly choked when I saw the two bandits.
The blonde one was alive!! And the brunette too! Why and how are they here?! Why do they have soldier uniforms?! Why are they accompanied by real soldiers?!
"W-What do you want?" Thane stuttered but in a rude tone.
The blonde smiled, "Pay up."
"Don't you already have enough from us?" Thane spat.
The brunette cut in, smirking, "Look, we're going to milk you for as long as we want. Money."
Thane sighed, "Just please don't hurt my family," he said, grabbing his wallet and handing it to them.
