Kalinjar Fort, 1545: A hawk flies over the ramparts of the highly guarded fort, as cannon fire and smoke fills the skies. The tiger and assassin insignia flies high on the end of the fields. A lone assasin stands atop a fort minaret. As the Hawk passes over him, he takes a leap of faith into a haystack below. And then makes his way slowly into Sher Shah's camp. Heated arguments can be heard, as commanders quarrel. Sticking to the shadow, the assasin wipes a tear off his face and inches closer to the center of the bustle. And then Sher Shah's voice is heard as he sends his commanders to fetch the mortar. He himself puts in the gunpowder and is aiming the Canon,when the assasin drops a smoke bomb and inches closer to Sher Shah. Sher Shah places a hand on his shoulder and says: "Hello old friend, haven't seen you in forever." Hari looks him dead in the eyes with tears in his own, stabs him with the hidden blade and lights the cannon. As Sher Shah is left grabbing for support, Hari leaves saying, "Goodbye, you deserved better. Don't forgive me."The Canon blows up, taking Sher Shah with it as Hari puts on his hood and disappears into the smoke.
