Preface:

There are a few things you should know before you read this story:

1. I have not written a story in 3 years. I am a little out of practice, so reviews and crit. Are VERY welcome.

2.This story takes place after the events of the first game, and after the events of Bloodlines.

If you've not played bloodlines, the only thing you need to know is that Altair chased down the last remaining templar threats on the island of Cyprus. While there, he ran into Maria (the woman who posed as de Sable), held her as a hostage, then eventually ended up saving her life and convincing her that being a Templar was not what it was cracked up to be, and built a relationship with her. It is rather well know that he ends up falling in love with her in the future.

3. If you would like to suggest anything that I should add to the story, DON'T HESITATE TO SAY SO! I would love to add what my readers what to read! (that's right, I will do almost anything you ask. ALMOST)

I hope you enjoy it!
