Altair, the son of none once had parents too. This is the story of Elita and Umar. How they met and eventually fell in love.
Elita, born in Spain. Mother died in childbirth, father a book seller. Of Christian decent. Hazel green eyes and light brown wavy hair. Fair skinned.
Umar, born into the Assassin Order. Did not know parents. Of Muslim decent. One of Al Mulain's top assassins. Dark skinned, dark brown eyes.
This story is not based on any facts other than what I found online which was that Altair's father was Umar and that he has a Christian mother. Elita, Christopher, Liam, and any other characters I created are my own and not copied from any other fiction.
Disclaimer: I do not own Assassin's Creed and make not money off of the production of this story.
Elita watched the city of Acre approaching in the distance. The city looked cold and dreary, the city coated in an ugly gray fog. Oh it was so different from their home in Spain, which was warm and colorful, full of life. What possessed her father to move so far from home was beyond her.
"Ah! Elita! Come now! Come help your old father with these books, we will be docking soon" said a plump man.
"Yes, yes I'm coming" said Elita.
The city was even drearier when the ship finally docked. A putrid smell filled the air and there were drunken sailors stumbling around the docks, some teetering dangerously close to the dock edges. She desperately hoped that her father would change his mind and they could return to their real home back in Spain.
"CHRISTOPHER!" shouted a voice and Elita glanced over.
"Yes. I am right here, no need to shout" her father said stepping forward. "Come now Elita. Grab those bags there."
"Christopher, we are here under order to take you to your new shop. These men" he said, gesturing to the men boarding the ship, "will be taking your wears to your shop. You need not to carry them. Come now I haven't got all day."
"Alright Christopher, your shop will be located in the middle district of the city. You must pay your taxes at the end of each week, if you choose not to…well I highly do not recommend it. Should we catch word that you are assisting anyone in protest against the city guards, we shall toss you in the dungeons, and don't you think that we won't" rambled the city guard as they walked through the district.
"Alright. Here is your shop" he said handing over the key. "And remember. I highly recommend you listen to what I said earlier. The last shop keeper wasn't as…well willing to listen and well…let's just say he won't be coming back here again…"
"Yes. I'll be sure to remember those guideline sirs. Thank you for helping me and my daughter move in. Now I'll just get all my things settled in. If you'll excuse me." Said Elita's father, moving into the shop.
"Thank you" mumbled Elita, following her father until someone gripped her arm tightly. "Yes sir" she mumbled looking up at the guard.
"Now missy don't I at least deserve a name for helping you" said the guard, pulling her closer.
"Elita" she said, attempting to pull back her arm. She was not about to be treated like a piece of meat by this guard.
"Well Elita. I'm Liam. If you ever need any help just let me…"
"LIAM! LIAM!" shouted a guard running over towards to two.
"Greer, what the bloody hell do you want?"
"It's that damn assassin. He's here in the city. Shit he's killed at least 10 guards already. We can't figure out who he's after."
"That fuc…" mumbled Liam under his breath. "Alright, let's go find this bloody asshole and rip him a new hole" he said to Greer. "Now Elita, I must go but remember. If you need anything just ask any guard for me. And…" he said reaching for her face. "I would cover up that darling hair of yours. You wouldn't want any man to get any ideas now would you?"
Elita watched silently as the two men ran off. As she turned to walk into the shop she couldn't help but wish that the assassin would rip his heart out.
