Usually these experiences where supposed to begin with a near death experience, strange abilities or occurrences...

...But it looks like that wasn't really the case.

So how did I end up being in the nexus?

Well... I just went to sleep.

After playing a little of one of my favorite games I went to sleep like I usually do. And it looks like I'm the nexus or wherever it was. It was all dark and had some gold lights for lighting, not what I would have recommended, but looks like it did the job. And by job I mean barely giving any light at all. But, I guess I had to make due with what I had.

Some people would have been panicking in this situation, thinking they were dead and that this was afterlife. Maybe, that you had a heart attack, or some other painless and fast death. But, I didn't think I was dead, yet, this didn't look like any of the various "heavens" I was promised to go. I mean, maybe I'm not that much of a believer, but I don't expect this to be heaven, it's too dark. And I don't either think this is hell either, just because it isn't as hot as it was supposed to be. Maybe it was late in hell and the lights were off?

I looked at my clothes and noticed that I wasn't in my pajamas. I was in some black tight pants and then a dark red wine Ezio style of assassin robe, with a grey undershirt. I was wearing knee length black boots and had a silver necklace with the Assassin insignia on it. But, I also had another silver necklace that had the Templar cross. It also looked like my chocolate brown hair was braided.

So, the most probable answer would be, I think I'm dreaming that I'm in Assassins Creed. Well, it's not the first time that I have dreamed of being in a videogame or a TV Show so I guess I should just wait and see what happens.

I would have decided to take a seat, but seeing as there was literary nothing, just endlessness, I decided that the floor was as comfy as it would get.

It's weird having to wait for a dream to get started. Wasn't I the one controlling them? I was taking my sweet time with the plot. I hope I didn't put in many cliches or drama.

"Well, excuse me for taking so long." Said a figure or more like a hologram that appeared out of nowhere.

She had a white gown, a weird metal like silver belt. She had the same metal like thing in her shoulders, maybe a new fashion trend, with some silver necklaces, that weren't exactly on her neck, more like in her shoulders and a white shawl. She had on her head a weird metal helmet that didn't cover her face, with another of those strange patterns. And her jet black hair was bound to more metal tied by some ponytails, with a white veil on her head. Also, she had the whitest skin tone I have ever seen in my life, putting too shame all the ghosts I have seen in movies, with the brightest golden eyes ever looking into my chocolate brown eyes.

"It took me longer than I thought it would." She said.

I know she was those creepy holograms in the game but I don't remember which one.

"I believe you know who I am and why you're here Alexa." Said the goddess.

"Well, I know that you're one of the holograms in Assassins Creed. But not exactly who. And I'm in a dream, more like waiting for the dream to start."

"Allow me to refresh your memory. I am Juno. Your people had many names for me and my kind, I was called a Roman goddess once. Having my Greek equivalent being Hevra."

It sure did sound familiar, but there was something missing.

"It does ring a bell, but which one were you, the one who talked to Connor or the one who talked with Ezio?"

"I talked with both of them."

Well, that didn't help. I looked at her again and I felt the light bulb turning on in my head.

"Oh! You're the one who sacrificed your boyfriend and killed him because he was in a coma, right?"

"It wasn't exactly like that." She said with a little furry in her voice, but trying to contain it for some reason. Looks like we have a temperamental goddess.

"So, when does this dream start? Your company is very nice and I would love to hear about your life and all but... I'm getting quite bored. And honestly, if I wake up in a cool segment of my dream, I will be very pissed off."

"This isn't a dream."

"And pigs can fly. Seriously, just let's get to the dream already. I don't sleep much anyways, so I doubt I have long here anyways." I told her.

What does she think this is? Oh, maybe this is like role playing and my subconscious is doing this so the story is more believable.

"It really isn't a dream. But, this isn't my matter of concern right now. I need you to play your part." She told me in a told me looking at me in the eye in the most serious tone.

"Yeah, and why would you need my help anyways? I thought you won and was freed, now currently planning world domination. I don't see why you would need my help."

"You are the final part that needs to be prepared."

"I love cryptic messages you know. Why can't I go to the cool part of the dream anyways?"

"I must prepare you for your task."

Task, what is this school? Am I dreaming getting homework from a goddess? You would think that you could escape that dreadful activity while sleeping, but looks like, apart from having the lamest dream ever, I have to do homework? I hope I wake up soon.

"You are the chosen one. You shall have to prepare for your destiny." She said, walking around me in circles. "I shall explain everything in more detail as we progress. Come, we shall beginning your training immediately, as I don't have much time." She started walking in a direction and ordered me to follow her. I just did, so I got up and followed where she was going.

"I shall aid you for what you shall need in the near future." She said, suddenly some walls appeared out of nowhere, forming some sort of circular arena, there were weapons on a side and on the other some sort of parkour track. There was also some type of computer thing in the middle of the arena with a helmet besides it. "I shall train you in combat and give you the knowledge necessary to start your quest." The goddess said as she began walking to what I could guess was the computer.

"You know, I'm not complaining or anything. But, it would be nice if I knew what I was supposed to do in this quest." I told her. She then turned around and looked me in the eye with a look as if I was the biggest idiot in the whole world.

Thanks, just what I needed.

"Sometimes, I wonder how your kind can be so stupid." She said, like if I was not in the room.

Geez, she sure does know how to make someone feel better.

"No matter, you shall understand everything in due time. Right now, we shall have to make haste. I shall now show you how to fight."

Me, learn to fight? I guess this is where I start the boring part where I have to train. I guess it is okay. Usually I already have all of the over powered abilities when I dream. I guess maybe I wanted to start from scratch? The first time this has happened.

"I will now start the "Nexus Virtual Training Program" to start."

Wow, was that the lamest name ever.

"Did you just ripped off the "Animus Virtual Training Program"?"

"I didn't, my kind has been there much before than yours so it's probable that your kind copied us. Not the first time either. The weapons are on the shelf over there." She said annoyed, pointing to a wall while she was in the computer look alike device, tapping stuff.

I went over there, and saw all of them. There was a wide range of every type of weapon, ranging from all types and shapes of daggers to big axes, also every kind of gun there was used in all sorts of designs and colors, varying from weapon to weapon.

"So how does this virtual program thingy work?" I asked her as I was looking at all the different weapons.

"Well, you just need to watch a video." She then got some sort of helmet and came to where I was, putting it on my head. "When you finish watching the whole thing, your preparation will almost be done."

I watched the whole video in less than ten minutes. It wasn't a short video, but it was fast forward by a million times. From what I understood, which wasn't much, the faceless teacher, who was the creepiest thing ever, was explaining all the technique and tips of how to handle every weapon. I didn't really understood how this would help me, but I guess it did.

"Now remove the helmet and grab any weapon on the wall." So I did as she said and grabbed a sword. I swung it and felt like I had done it all my life.

"You have already gained all the training, experience, knowledge and technique about any and all weapons that your kind has invented. Also, you are now one of the best fighters in your history. Not that it's a great achievement, but congratulations."

"So, that's it? I usually thought that I was going to have to train years until I gained some skill. Well, looks like this dream knows that's one of the most tedious parts of everything." I said. I put back the sword and took another weapon this time being a shotgun. I shot it and hit bull's eye, but was a little bit taken away from the recoil.

"Well, you have everything except the body and stamina, but those things are gained much more easily than fighting skill and talent. I would recommend you to try every weapon, but with the fact that we are so time limited, you shall have to wait and see. " She put the helmet on my head again. "Now I shall put your, how does your kind call it? Ah yes, parkour training."

The same thing happened this time, the same faceless guy, who even looked creepier, showing how to scale, fall down and all the body movements.

"How does this thing exactly work?" I asked the goddess when I finished the video, removing the helmet. Then I began climbing a wall, testing to see if I indeed gained whatever skill I was supposed to.

"Well, it's a very complicated to explain to one of your kind so I rather not do." She said in the snobbiest tone ever.

Is there a word to describe a person that has some kind of racist against human beings?

"Or maybe you don't know how to explain it." I said, teasing her and getting down from the wall.

"Your kind always surprises me, you would think that stupidity would be cured." She told me. I sighed.

I wonder if she was the goddess of grouchiness, because she sure did fit the description.

"So what now, oh so great goddess." I told her, but when I said that, the arena we were in disappeared in thin air and in my hands there was a black leather backpack.

"Well, I gave you all your necessary tools for your journey. They are in your backpack." She said.

I guessed she wanted me to check the backpack, so I did. Inside of it was my touch cellphone, money pouch without any money in it, some changes of underwear, a health kit, a flashlight, a blanket, a change of clothes, a lighter, a sword in its black holster, a dagger and medicine.

I wonder what type of hero caries changes of underwear, but I tried not to think about it more than necessary.

I unsheathed the sword out of the holster. It had a dark steel skull with red rubies as the skulls eyes for the pommel. The handle was made out of black leather. The cross had dark steel double wings that were perfectly symmetrical. The blade was also made out of dark steel but had as a pattern some Roman gods, each doing something different but all of them in the same area interacting with each other. There were also some type of scripture on the blade, but I couldn't see it clearly enough to read it.

I put back my sword in my holster.

"So what's my destiny, quest or whatever I'm supposed to do?" I asked, I mean this woman was just either evading the subject or saying more riddles, so I suppose this was the best time to start demanding answers.

"You shall know what to do when you arrive there." She said, speaking in riddles again. "But, you will know what your focus is. I shall inform you what to do. Also, you will be able to contact me through your communication device. I also changed your batteries in your communication device and the flashlight to one of our unlimited sources of energy, so you don't need to worry about running out of energy. And connected you to your mass knowledge library, which can be seen on your device. Do you have any other questions?" She asked.

"Well, why do I have an empty wallet?" I mean, I guessed for an adventurer everything else made sense for me to have.

"Oh, it can spawn money. You just have to type in your device how much you want and in what currency and it shall spawn." She informed me, almost not caring about the fact.

I have to say, whomever thought about this, was a genius.

"Well looks like we have no more time, so I wish you luck. Like your kind says, break a lung." She said and suddenly everything turned black.

I woke up and I was in a dark and uncomfortable place that was quite smelly. So, I got up like I usually would, and peaked out my head, from wherever I was. The rays of the sun hurt my eyes so I closed them. Even though the place I was in didn't smell like flowers, it was pretty comfy. But, deciding that it was best to get out of wherever I was in is the course of action so I got up, even though my body reluctantly wanted to get up.

I opened my eyes after getting up and saw that I had just gotten up from a haystack, which had horses eating out of it and a dog peeing on it, not ignoring the passed out drunk next to it that was smelling rather nicely.

I glanced around and saw that I was in a town, that looked similar but I couldn't exactly pinpoint in my state of mind right now.

Looking around me again, I found out I was in a stable that was in the middle of town. The stable guy was eyeing me like I was another mad person, one of the many he has seen and dealt with. The people around the stable were also staring at me like I was trash.

I couldn't believe what was happening, so I just had my mouth wide opened.

It looked like lady luck was on my side, because as soon as I opened my mouth because I was so shocked about what had happened a fly came in my mouth and I closed it for a second and looks like I had fly for appetizer. I spitted out the fly, but it was too late, my public image was ruined.

"Let's go honey, I can't believe that there are people so gross in this town."

"I knew that we were passing times of economic crisis, but I never imagined that we were so bad."

"Don't stare so much, you're probably going to get whatever mental illness that woman has."

"Mom, why is that person so dirty and smells so bad?"

"Should we call the guards?"

What the fuck happened? So let's try recalling. I was sleeping and then there was Juno, the meanest goddess ever, who said she was giving me a quest like an old RPG. So I accepted and she trained me like for 30 minutes and then said that I was going to know when I arrived what to do. And then I appeared here.

If she could spawn me anywhere, she should have spawned me, I don't know in a nice comfy bed, or anywhere that's considered humanly acceptable.

While I was pondering my current situation, I checked around me and people were throwing me silver coins.

"I think this has been our good dead of the year, dear."

"May god show you the correct path, pour fellow."

"I hope if we give him money, he goes away."

"So, mommy this person has problems in his head?"

"Guards!"

Noticing that this place wasn't the most welcoming of places, and that whatever sort of law enforcement was coming near me, it was best to think of the situation latter. So, I picked up my backpack and went to the nearest alleyway I could find, and went to another road.

I sat down in a nearby bench, in the center of a plaza and took a good look around, to see if a recognized an important landmark or something. I couldn't recognize much, except a building that looked quite familiar, it had rock in its name. I would have thought about it more, but it looks like people are starting to point at me, and not wanting to escape the police again, I decided it would be best to walk away.

I got up and walked through the streets. Everything was so… different?

They all had the same type of skin tone, olive. The majority also had brown hair and eyes.

Men were wearing turbans, some with some flat type of hat and others just covering a portion of their face with some sort of cloth. They wore some kind of long sleeved dress, it looks like it, or a loose long sleeved shirt with pants that are quite loose in the… private section. With either a belt or a sash. All of them, in all sorts of combinations.

For the women, they had either they're faces covered or their hair with a cloth or veil. Most of the times, the veil covered until the chest. They had the same sort of loose type dress, which was even longer in the legs.

Everyone had the same type of shoes which were either boots or sandals.

This place had some sort of Middle Eastern look to it… Ah! I remember it was called the Dome of the Rock, which was in… Jerusalem?

Well it looks like I'm in the first game, but I don't exactly know in which of the targets he currently is dealing with, maybe if I asked someone.

I looked around to see who would be the perfect candidate who wouldn't be suspicious or acted like I'm crazy if I asked the year or any recent murders. Not that I remember half of the targets names or anything like that but I guess I could try.

So, I selected a target. The woman who was alone shopping. She had long brown hair that could be barely seen, with green eyes and a paler complexion. She was wearing the same veil, but hers was brown as all the other women, covering the lower portion of her face. She was wearing a white dress with some brown knee length boots. She had a hay basket on her head with all her groceries. She didn't look like she needed to be somewhere nor that she cared about something, looking bored about her current task.

"Excuse me." I told the woman. She looked at me in the eye and then looked at my clothes and just turned around and straight out ignored me.

"Excuse me, miss." I said, this time more politely with a smile. Instead of even seeing me this time, she just ignored me, even continuing her purchases.

Usually, people would just ask someone else, but me being the stubborn person I am, decided to bother the nice lady again.

"Miss, I really need you to help me." I said, this time trying to act more serious and important, as if I was in some sort of dilemma and bringing out her compassionate soul. She continued to ignore me, so I grabbed her sleeve gently, so that she would pay some attention.

For some reason the woman turned around immediately with a mad expression.

"Look, I know you need money because you have a sick children, but I'm not offering charity. So, for the love of Allah please take your filthy hands off of me if you don't want me to call the guards." She said, with that she just continued with her stroll, with a quicker pace not even looking behind.

Beggar? Is that what I look like? Maybe because I have hay everywhere, but even so a beggar? I probably left my mouth opened again for a minute or so, until I regained composure.

"Don't take what she said to heart." A man told me. He was leaning against the wall of the alleyway.

He was around the same age as the lady I was bothering, so maybe 20. He had brown hair, brown eyes and a darker olive skin. He had what looked here what would be considered handsome face in this place. He had tanned skin and a sharp jaw line. Also, he looked like the friendly type, because he was looking at me with the biggest smile ever.

"You see, Hafa is just a little cranky these days. Looks like thing around going well with her betrothed these days." He said, then he moved his shacked his head back and forth. "It looks like she found him in a whore house. Not in the best of moods since. But, she is a nice person, so don't take to heart what happened today." He smiled, maybe it was what people here would consider charming. Looks like it, because all the women in the near vicinity were blushing madly, well everyone except me.

"Um… Well I guess I'll forget it?" I said nonchalantly. Not like I was going to remember about it anyways.

"Thanks, now why where you bothering Hafa anyways, she isn't the most knowledgeable person in the city if you need to know something." He said.

"Well, what year is it?" I asked the most important question of all I could think of the top of my head.

"1190." He said. "What, forgot about it?" He said in a teasing tone, while winking. All the women around me blushed more than before and giggled.

Wait… didn't the game start in 1191. So, I'm here a year earlier, or did something happened and they send me to the wrong time. I mean, did something happened in 1190? I remember that there was someone called Adha and was Altair's first love. Did it happened a year before the game? I don't see why I would dream about something I didn't know of. Maybe building some climax or am I just inventing this up? I guess I should Google it later.

"What's the matter, skipped a birthday?" He said playfully.

It was probably better if I went to see my cellphone. So, I might as well go to a hotel or what they used in these times, so I could see my cellphone in peace and quiet. They probably used inns, according to my history knowledge.

"Can you tell me where the nearest inn is?" I asked, not responding to his playful attitude.

"Well it's that place over there." He said pointing at a building across the street.

"Thanks for the help…" I said giving my hand to him. He looked at it, like if I was doing something strange (1). Maybe they didn't shake hands in the 1190's…

"Habbab." He said, he was still looking at my hand oddly so it was probable that handshakes were yet to be invented or not common.

It's a dream anyways, so it didn't really matter. I put my hand back and scratched my head. Guess it's better to shrug it off.

"Nice meeting you." I said and then turned around and entered the building Habbab pointed to me.

I entered it, and it looked pretty medieval. It was very dim lighted inside, the only light coming from candles and the windows. The walls were made out of cob and there were huge archway making that sort of "A" shape, which looked very Middle Eastern. The archways supported by big columns. The floor was made of ceramic floor tiles with a brown and a little lighter brown combination.

There was a front desk near the entrance at the right that was oak wood. Besides the front desk there were the stairs to go upstairs. At the left side, it looked like it was some sort of tavern, there were lots of oak wood tables with candles. Also, some sort of bar at the tavern. There weren't many people, maybe because it looked like it was midday and it was still too early to drink, not that it stopped those five guys over there.

I went over to the reception desk. "Excuse me." I told the man. He looked up at me and eyed me weirdly, but I didn't care. I just wanted to go check my cellphone and rest.

"What can I do for you?" The receptionist said. He was a middle aged man, who looked ordinary for these parts. He had a black turban and a green dress. He had an olive toned skin, with brown hair and eyes. Also, one of the biggest beards ever, with a little bit of mustache.

"I want to rent a room. The biggest one." I told him.

I mean, if I had unlimited money, might as well use it.

"Follow me, I will take you to your room." He got up from where he was sitting and proceeded to go upstairs I followed him until he stopped right in front of the last door in the hallway.

"This is your room and here are your keys." He said, giving me the keys. "If you need something, you can ask us. Also, if you're hungry you can go to the tavern when you wish. If so, I will be excusing myself." And with that he turned around and went downstairs.

I opened the door with the key the guy gave me. The room was big enough, a big king bed, a table with two chairs and a closet. There were also some drawers here and there. It was designed with the same style as bellow beige cob walls and ceramic tiles for the floor. It looked like the room was designed for a couple. A door was on the other side of the room, so I guess it was probably the bathroom.

I sat on my bed and took out the cellphone. I checked it and saw that I had a message.

From: 01001010010101010100111001001111

Well, it looks like it has been a success. As of right now, you only have one mission and that is to make sure that everything goes as planned. You must make sure the past stays as it's supposed to be.

I guess someone as incompetent as you can do the job, so I leave everything in your hands.

Also, you may want to stop thinking this is a dream… But I don't care as long as you don't mess up. I hope you don't mess up, like you humans always do and ruin all my plans.

You are the last step, so I have made sure that you will not fail. Failure is not an option. Don't disappoint me or there will be grave consequences.

Wait, wasn't Juno the one that lied and tricked Connor? Guess I'm in to a dream with a better plot that I imagined.

A/N: Thanks For Reading! Anyways, what do you think?

I think I'm going to do these research notes about history and culture.

(1) People shake hands in medieval times, but it wasn't like we do know to great each other. Before, people did it as a sign of piece that they didn't have weapons on them or as a peace sign.

I was playing the game, and had this idea. Not the time travel bit, but the part that someone who controls the past. I was just playing and suddenly, I thought, what if TWCB arranged everything to be the way they wanted. Maria and Altair ended up together because they made it so and the same with every other character or event. Being as crazy as Juno is, I wouldn't doubt it. There is still some twist yet to come, so don't worry. Anyways, this is going to be a time travel story, but there is no OC/Main Character of AC in it. And she will be travelling to different games, so don't worry.

And, this is a heavy spoiler story, so I recommend that if you're reading, you don't mind.

I will try not to make the main character Mary Sue, even though she currently looks like a very over powered type of character, there are many limits she has yet to discover. And she is going to be very klutz, so don't doubt her "abilities". And I decided to go with skipping the whole training part, because it's seriously sometimes very boring, and even though it's necessary and all but I decided to skip it. And I see no reason that TWCB wouldn't have this sort of technological machine that can teach anything and everything, sort of like in the Science Fiction movies.

And, this is rated M, not because of sexiness and those type of things. More like, referring about sex, blood and gore. So there will probably be no sexy times, if you were reading because of that. And maybe it could be consider T, but better safe than sorry.

So, thanks for reading, and until next time!
