Desmond's POV
I wake up and stretch. I go to grab my phone, but then I remember that I'm in Syria in 1191.
I stumble out of my room and Altaïr meets me in the hallway.
"Desmond, you're awake!" he says. I nod and he puts his arm around me.
"Let's go find Malik!"
Altaïr leads me to Malik's office and makes me sit down in a chair.
"Malik!" Altaïr calls, banging on the door inside the office. Malik looks out, rubbing his eyes.
"Is it time to train already?" he mumbles.
"Yep!"
"Wait, what?" I ask.
"If you're going to be in Syria with us, you might as well learn a thing or two from a master assassin," Altaïr says. Malik punches his arm.
"Novice."
Altaïr, Malik and I
"Wait, what?" I ask.
"We're going to train you! If you're going to be here in Syria with us, you might as well learn a thing or two," Altaïr says.

They lead me outside and into a training arena.

"Do you have your hidden blades with you?" Altaïr asks.

"I always do..." I say, unsheathing them. "Why?"

"Because if you didn't, you would either lose a finger or we wouldn't be able to train with them," Altaïr replies.

I look at his hand and see his missing ring finger.

"True. Anyway, let's start," I say.

Malik sits on the side and watches us fight. I lose miserably every single time, while Altaïr moves gracefully.

"We're going to get you even better at fighting," Malik says.

"You can try," I pant. Altaïr charges me again and I dodge him, but he trips me and I fall face-first into the dust. I groan and Malik and Altaïr kill themselves laughing.

"You guys suck..." I mutter. Altaïr looks down at me and grins.

"Don't worry about it, Des. You'll get better."

A/N: Yay Altaïr sass!
