Assassin recruit

Ch.17 : Closure

1) He told his men to advance on the city of Constantinople except for 20 men he told to stay. I threw a blade at his face but he moved and hit me in the jaw. I stumbled to the ground. "Get up brother" he yelled. "Your cause is futile and pointless like your life. You don't even know the true extent of the gift you have been so gracefully given. The first civilisation gave us power and you waist it playing vigilante"

2) I swept his leg out from under him and he fell. I got up and walked towards him. "Get up" I yelled, "my cause is just as valid as yours except I wouldn't blow up a part of the city to induce it". As he stood I charged him. Every blow we delt was dogged or blocked. Every hit we landed with our fists connected. Every mistake in movement was a chance to end the other life. I swung but he dogged and kicked me in the chest. [Did I mention he was huge]

3) he stood over me and stared me in the eyes. I used my elbows to crawls back but I was having problems breathing. Then a man in red robe and silver armor with red fur and a hood as black as death jumped off a roof and landed on top off him with both of his arms crossed and his wrists in my brothers chest. He had hidden blades. Another one stood over me and picked me up. I stared and my brothers body and looked at the man who killed him.

4) 10 more came from out of know where and stood behind the one who killed my brother. "Can you still fight?" He asked "my name is Nikolov I am the master and mentor to my assassins." He picked up his right hand and clenched his fist and in a split second the other Templars had arrows in there chests. Diana killed the Templar master as Aden took out his sword from her shoulder and grabbed her Templar medallion. "Who are you?" I asked with confusion. "Were your Russian brothers" he laughed. "I've been hunting this one for a long time." He said pointing to my brothers lifeless corpse

5) more and more Russian assassins appeared and so did the Constantinople assassins. Yusuf walked towards me and thanked the Russian master. Ezio appeared with the other assassins that he contorled and asked if I was okay and picked up my sword. "Are you ready to fight?" He asked as he looked at the other master assassins who surrounded us [remember Ezio was a master and a mentor and he had his own assassins like me. some of them master's as well]. I grabbed my sword and limped to my brother. I grabbed his Templar medallion and shoved it into my robes and then picked up his sword. I held both swords and was ready to fight.

6) every assassin in the area all lined up behind the 12 master assassins including the Russian master Nikolov, Ezio, and Yusuf. Both Templars and assassins charged at each other.  When the fighting subsided the remaining Templars fled.

7) I hated that day. We lost a few assassins and my brother was killed. I brought his sword back to the great lake and rapped his Templar medallion around it, then  tossed it in the same location were Embirths family sword laid. Then.... I went home.... not to what I used to call the assassins headquarters.... but what I now call family.
