Chapter 1
The city of Rome was ablaze with night life. Its people going to and from nightclubs and other places to have fun at during the night. High above the city and its nightlife standing atop the roof of the leaning tower of piza was a lone robed figure, the hood on his robe covering his face as he surveyed the city.
The figure's belt held 5 throwing knives, and a silver sword inscribed with the saying "ليس هناك ما هو صحيح، كل شيء يباح", and on his right arm was a silver gauntlet emblazoned with the Brotherhood of Assassin's emblem, the gauntlet also housed a hidden blade which the figure could extend with a simple flick of his wrist.
This figure was named Altair Callaway and he was named after one of the Brotherhood's most famous and legendary Assassin; Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad from the crusades.
Sighing slightly, Altair knelt down as he scanned the people below looking for his target. From his information, his target was a high ranking templar. Catching sight of movement down below in the alleyway seperating a building of apartments and the tower, Altair ran forward and jumped landing on the roof so he could follow the movement.
Down below a man dressed in expensive slacks and a blood red dress shirt was moving thru the alleyway at a fast pace, as the man moved under a street light, Altair caught sight of a small cross tatoo on the right side of the man's neck. Altair finally found his target.
Moving steathly, Altair climbed his way down the the apartment building, and into the alleyway. Once down in the alleyway, Altair quickly caught up to his target who was doing his best not to seem out of place.
Catching up to the man, Altair grabbed him from behind and pulled him back into the alleyway and pinned him up against the wall, his hidden blade a couple inches away from his throat. The man's eyes widened as he said in a thick accented voice "What do you want Assassin?" Altair pressed the hidden blade to the mans throat so that the blade made a small indent into the mans throat, a small trickel of blood running down the man's neck.
"Where is the Templar Damien Swan?" Altair hissed slightly pressing the blade more to the man's neck. "I do not know" the templar said wincing slightly as the blade dug more into his neck. "Liar", Altair said, "I know you Templars stay in contact with eachother".
Just before Altair was about to slam his blade thru the man's throat, his communicator went off in his ear, and he heard the voice of his best friend and fellow assassin Xavier De Luca say "Altair...We Found him"
A/N End of Chapter 1, the saying on the blade is "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted" in Arabic and the sword is Altair's sword from the game, and i know that it doesnt say that but i wanted to add it soez, please read and review!
