Assassina? Prologue
Forli – 1474 (this makes Ezio 15)
The two hooded figures slowly made their way through the crowd of people in the markets. They stopped by a shaded stand and set down a bag of gold florins onto the table. The man running the stand took the money and gestured for the two figures to follow him. As he led them down an alley they stopped at an oddly colored and disproportional part of the brick wall. The taller of the two figures held out out his hand to the man who had been leading them. The soft jingling of metal was heard as the man dropped a ring of keys into the figures hand. As the man disappeared down the alley, the taller figure slid the key into an opening on the "brick wall" and as he turned it there was a soft click.
He pushed on the wall and opened a doorway to a small hidden shack. On the walls were a variety of weapons: swords, daggers, throwing knives, you name it. There were several armor stands scattered around the room. There was also a small writing desk against the back wall. The taller of the two figures slipped his hood off to reveal a man in his late 30's with slight stubble. His eyes were weary and gave the man a look of exhaustion, dark bags under his eyes. The smaller figure slipped her hood off as well to reveal a young girl, probably 12, with golden honey blonde hair and eyes as gray as storm clouds. She looked up at the man, speaking softly, "Papa, what is all this?" The man looked down at his daughter and sighed, "I didn't want it to come to this." He let out a tired sigh and began writing a letter, as to whom the girl wasn't sure but it seemed like it would be to someone important because her father was deep in concentration as he wrote. There was a long and tense silence as the pen scratched against the parchment and the sounds of paper rustling filled her ears.
When her father had the letter in its envelope, he sealed it with their family crest and handed it to her. Speaking softly and sternly he said to her, "Your uncle is not the man you think he is. He is a Templar, one of the men we assassin's are at war with. You are my only child and will continue the assassin legacy of our family." He seemed to become less stern as they spoke and continued with, "Go to Roma, there is a man thereby the name of Nicollo Machiaveli. He will be able to help you." He sat back into the chair with a resigned sigh. The girl held her head high but it wasn't hard to tell that she was doing her best not to cry or run away from it. She spoke quickly and with a purpose, "As you wish, Padre, but what will become of you and Madre?" Another sigh before he spoke again, "Cain has already gotten a hold of your mother and will soon be after me. You must leave now, before its to late and you can't escape."
Tears slid down the girls cheeks, but she nodded and held the letter to her chest, as if it were her most prized possession. She was give a stiletto dagger and a set of throwing knives from her father. Once armed, she left the room, ran down the alley, through the streets until she reached the closest city gates. She made her way to the stables just outside the city. When she got there she picked out a light chestnut stallion. She saddled him up and swung herself into the saddle. She turned and took one last, longing look at Forli and then headed towards Roma and her duty as the heiress to her fathers legacy.
Meanwhile, in Florence, one of Cains subordinates had been sent to kill the Auditore family. Giovanni was smarter than they gave him credit though. As soon as he knew what was going to happen he led his family away from their palazzo and towards the city gates that led to Monterigionni. As they boarded a carriage Giovanni told them he would explain what was going and he did. He told them of how he entered the brotherhood and became an assassin. He also informed 15 year old Ezio and 18 year old Frederico that one of them would have to begin training to become an assassin and work in his stead.
And so the story begins...
