The Marferian

Chapter 1: Betrayal

It all began with the Shalkan Assassin Clan of the Achaemenid Empire. The most feared and powerful clan ever existed in the world at that time. They say that their ancestors were the first men that protected the Mesopotamian Empire since it's very foundation. Back at 480 BC there was a young man named Edward Shalkan, one of the most skilled full warriors of the clan. And for one little conflict, or should I say one little mistake, his life changed forever.........

(Battle of Thermopylae)

Persian soldier: "Look at those 300 men"

Persian corporal: "They are all ready to die for their land"

Persian soldier: "I heard that they are the best 300 Spartan warriors"

Stanis: "And you actually believe that? Pfft"

Persian soldier: "Sadly yes, Great Lord Stanis"

Edward: "Stop being a pussy, soldier!"

Thomas: "Ed, give the guy a break, you're putting enough pressure on him as it is"

Edward: "There's no break in war and you should know that, Tom"

Tom: "Just don't put pressure on the man will you"

Stanis: "You know, Ed. He's not going to kill Leonidas"

Edward: "I know that. But I will"

Tom: "If you value your life you'll realize that is just a suicidal run"

Stanis: "In other words you're fucked"

Edward: "You don't have faith in me?"

Tom: "I have faith in you. Just... don't get killed alright"

Stanis: "Five pieces of gold that you will die today"

Edward: "It's on"

(Present day)

Jackson: "You're telling me that in 480 BC there was a man named Tom?"

Alek: "Da(Yes)*..."

Stevenson: "So... Edward is a Persian Assassin from the Greco-Persian wars?"

Alek: "That's correct"

Jackson: "I think that's bullshit"

Stevenson: "Did you believed him?"

Alek: "There was no need for it. I knew that he was telling the truth"

Stevenson: "How?"

Alek: "When you find him you'll understand"

Stevenson: "Fine, procced"

Alek: "As I was telling you..."

(480BC, Battle of Thermopylae)

{Swords clash}

Stanis: "Don't these bastards die!?"

Tom: "Well, they are Spartans... so that's probably a no!"

{A Spartan slash a Persian soldier}

Persian Soldier: "Arghh!!"

Spartan: "You Persian pussies are no match for us!"

{Ed decapitate a Spartan with his sword}

Edward: "Says who?"

Edward: "{Where the hell is Leonidas... Ah! There he is! Now going in for the kill...}

{Tom slashes a Spartan}

Tom: "Stanis! Head to the left flank with a platoon of soldiers and secure it!"
