Assassin's of Time
Intro
He finished lacing his boots up. He was ready for what laid ahead of him, but he was unsure of his new partner. His new companion was a rookie who had never seen combat before and here she was going to be thrusted into a war she knew almost nothing about. The Templars were still a real threat to the Assassin's. Even after the work of Desmond, our leader had dealt a crippling blow to the Templars they had managed to regroup and start pushing again.
He stood up, looking at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes a held a cold stare that saw countless battles over the times. His hands rough and calloused from the grip he held on the weapons that he used to defend his people, his life. He left the room, preparing himself to meet his companion. Would they be as cold as him, ready for anything that could be thrown at them or would they be curious and interested in every detail of the times they would soon face, in other words. Would they be helpful in his trials or would they be dead weight.
He entered the main chamber which held the Time Gate. A portal which could take them anywhere, anytime in the worlds history. Of course they never would be able to do this without Obstergo's technology which they had no choice in giving up. As he approached the portal he heard someone calling to him in a rather high voice, "Rath! Rath, wait up!" He turned to see a young woman, about 20 years old running at him. When she appraoched him she wasn't able to stop herself an collided into him, knocking them both to the ground. "Ouch!" she said, "These boots don't have much of a grip to them." She then noticed herself laying on top of him and she blushed brightly, "I'm so sorry!" she said as she picked herself up. "It's nothing." He said in a low tone. "Well it looks like you've already met your new partner, Rath." Desmond was standing at the bottom of the ramp leading to the Time Gate. "Her name is Gwendolyn, and she will be accompaniying you in your travels from now on." She wore the standard Assassin attire, but her weapon was a little strange, she had a Falchion, a rather large weapon for someone so small. But he wasn't going to argue, if she could use it, she could kill with it.
"Okay you two." Said Desmond now serious, "You are going to going back to Italy in the time of Ezio Auditore De Ferenzie. From there you are going to help him in recovering a certain artifact. We don't know what it is other than it's pretty important to him, which means it's important to us. Once you know what it is, find out what he means to do with it, and if he plans to hide it. Cause if he hides it we can then find it if the Templars haven't already gotten to it. Understand?" Rath nodded his head and Gwendolyn eagerly agreed as well. We both faced the the Time Gate as it sprand to life with a whirl of colors. "You ready?" She asked Rath. "Of course." He said "I just hope you can keep up." They both jumped into the gate, but what the past held for them is something not even Rath could have known, and something that will affect Gwendolyn for the rest of her life.
