Drip... drip...
That sound... what is it?
Drip... drip...
It sounds like... water? I thought as I opened my eyes. I took a moment to observe my surroundings. I was in a small dark room with a lonely window on the wall opposite of me. There was also a chair on the left wall that looked very ornamental, despite the overall appearance of the room. The water I heard was coming from a pipe that was over by the window. The walls were made of brick, and to my right, there was a door that was unlocked.
"Well, however I got here, this is how I'm getting out." I summoned the Keyblade into my hand and went to the door. I stopped in front of it and listened to the other side.
"Well I can't believe you brought him here, Ezio, you stupid bastardo! He isn't supposed to be here when the plan isn't ready yet!" shouted a deep voice from the other side of the door.
"I brought him here because I think he can help us with the Templars, without us having to kill him." explained Ezio. I opened the door a minute bit and peered outside of it. Right outside there stood a hefty man in an old fashion Renaissance outfit, and a thin, slightly built man in white robes. I waited a few more minutes for them to move, and when they didn't, I burst out of the room and stood in a defensive stance with my Keyblade in front of me.
"Who are you, and what do you want from me?" I shouted at them waiting for them to attack me.
The fat man looked at me and laughed. "Well if it isn't the marmocchio. How are you? I take it you had a nice little nap. I'm Mario, and this is my nephew, Ezio."
"Ciao, and I assume that you are the one that they call Sora? Or are you Roxas?" asked Ezio. He shook my hand as I put away my Keyblade and grabbed his hand for firm handshake.
"I'm Sora. Roxas has long since joined me. So why do you two need me?" I asked, "And where am I?"
"You are at the Auditore Villa in Monteriggioni. This acts as the headquarters for the Assassini in all of Italia. We have brought you here because we believe you hold the "key", so to speak, to defeating the Templars and ending the war between us." explained Mario.
"How can I help? I mean, I can only unlock doors and hearts and stuff, not really helpful in ending a war." I inquired.
"And that's what we need you for, to unlock the door to a vault that contains the Pieces of Eden." Ezio said. I gave a brief nod and asked what we had to do. "Sora, me and you have to go to Roma, that's where the Vault is, as well as that figlio di una cagna Borgia."
"Ok, when you guys are ready, let's go." I summoned my Keyblade and walked towards the door.
Ezio explained, "Actually Sora, you need to prepare for this too, you need to learn the ways of the Assassini. We are a blade in the crowd, invisible until we need to strike, and only those who are not innocent feel the sting of our blades."
I gave a small nod showing that I understood, and then asked, "Do I get any cool weapons?"
"Well, we could always travel to Venetia and talk to Leonardo," Suggested Mario.
"Who's Leonardo?" I asked.
"He is one of the most brilliant minds in all of Italia" explained Ezio, "How do you think I have this?" Ezio flicked his arm, a blade shot out of his wrist. I jumped back, startled at the sudden sight of the blade.
"Is that coming out of your arm?" I asked almost sickened.
"No it is called a Hidden Blade, and is the most important weapon to an Assassino," explained Mario.
"Cool, let's go pay Leonardo a visit," I said.
"Let's saddle up then, and head to Venetia," proclaimed Mario.
