Assasins Creed Fanfic

Sequence 1.2

 

The Assassin was sprinting, and the Templars were chasing him endlessly. His long, white robes flew behind him as he ran down the alley. A guard stood in his path a few meters in front of him, sword in hand, ready to fight. The Assassin threw a knife at him and the corpse hit the ground. The Assassin ran on.

Only after reaching the outermost wall of the fortress, did The Assassin stop. He had run out of road, and there was nowhere to turn. He could hear the guards call out from behind him, “Stop that Murderer!” The Assassin had only one option left..

By the time the guards reached the wall there was nothing but dust to greet them. They looked around helplessly, trying to find him. They stood blindly for a few moments until one of them looked up to the rooftops.

“There he is! Kill him!”

The guard ran up a nearby stone building and pursued the Assassin. As the chase grew longer, more and more Templars pursued The Assassin, leaping from rooftop to rooftop. Finally he stopped again. The string of buildings had run out. There was absolutely nowhere to run.

The guards caught up to him within several moments and n cornered him.

The guards were on one side of him, the ledge to another. The Assassin took a step back.

He was terribly outnumbered.

From the other guards, one of them, a Captain, stepped out of his ranks.

“Surrender, you fool. There is nowhere to go now.”

The Assassin looked behind him, then below him.

“If you are not to surrender fairly, we will surely kill you”

The Assassin noticed something beneath himself. A small hay bale.

“Have you nothing to say?” The Captain said, as he drew his sword and pointed it towards his target. The Captain then spoke one word, merely a whisper, “Assassin.”

Altair simply smiled and jumped.
