((Just givin ya a heads up, this story is about Evelence and Connor as they grow up and stuff. Evelyn is 14 . I wanted to add my character in there just to see what would happen if Connor had a friend to help him and all. Anywho there's not a lot of romance until the end of the story, just a friendship kinda thing. Evelyn/Evelence is mine. Everything else is Ubisoft's. Also this is my first time writing, so I hope by every time I publish a story I will get better and better at it lol. Mostly all my stories are about Assassins Creed lol. Enjoy! ^_^ ))
Chapter one
The heat was increasing along with the humid. The water would smell horrible during this time of the season, and there would soon be wildfires coming. These parts of the woods were Evelyn's favorite area to come to. Time to time she would climb trees with her friends when she wasn't helping the village. Her father died when volunteering to hunt bear pelts. Her mother wept and went through a breakdown the whole year until she stopped and left Evelyn alone by herself. Since then, she has lived with the Clan Mother along with another boy who was two years older than her, Ratonhnhaké ton. He too lost his mother and father from a different story though. His head was always low and he didn't talk to anyone that much as he used to. Ever since the men burned down our village, he hasn't spoken as much as before. His father was not from the Mohawk Village. She did not know where his father came from. Maybe it was meant to be kept secret from the village.
"Evelence!"
She heard Kanen'tó:kon's and looked over her shoulder. The chubby native was looking for her. She did not speak to him often. He usually would hunt with Ratonhnhaké ton or talk with him in the village. They hardly spoke, so this made her curious to why he had called her.
"Evelence! The Clan Mother wishes to speak with you!" He called out to where everything in the forest could hear him. He was waiting for a reply, but didn't receive one. Instead she had already been walking ahead of him, not even caring if he had been lost or not. She was more concerned on what the Clan Mother had wanted. There was nothing broken and she hasn't stolen anything for a while. Was it the lie she told last year? How would she remember that?
"Evelence!" he spotted her. "Where were you?" he finally caught up to her catching his breath.
"I was climbing trees, enjoying the view." She glared at him. "Until you came."
"What did I do? You are always in a bad mood when you're around me." He rolled his eyes, frustrated with her. He then started muttering words under his breath.
"What did the Clan Mother want?"
He stopped muttering what he had been saying about her and shrugged.
"I do not know, she wouldn't tell me. All she asked was for me to get you and Ratonhnhaké ton." He explained. "It is important."
Important? How so? This made her ask herself even more questions than before. She nodded in response and entered the village.
Weapons were being built and sharpened while men and women helped out with each other. Children were running around playing tag while the women were breast feeding their toddlers.
They both saw the Clan Mother and quickly walked up to her. She had been discussing some plans with a group of people from the village. Kanen'tó:kon cleared his throat, trying not to be rude. The Clan Mother turned around to see who had made the noise. She gave him a warm smile and bowed politely.
"Thank you, child." Her eyes focused to Evelence now.
"I hope everything was alright when you went climbing?" she chuckled.
Her cheeks flared and glanced at Kanen'tó:kon. He had told her about the place she and her friends would go. It was meant to be secret or else she would be in trouble for passing the valley. She made a face and turned back to the Clan Mother.
"Not to worry child, all is well." She walked inside the hut with her walking stick. Ratonhnhaké ton had already been sitting by the fire. "Sit, I have something important to tell you both." She had sat across from Ratonhnhaké ton as did Evelence. "My children, there are some things in this world that are not meant to be seen," she begun. Behind her she grabbed a small box, enough to fit a rabbit. When she opened the wooden box, she pulled out a glass sphere.
"What is it?" Ratonhnhaké ton asked.
"It is a piece of Eden. An artifact built by those who came before us." Ratonhnhaké ton and Evelence came closer to observe the strange and mysterious sphere. The Clan Mother had placed it in Ratonhnhaké ton's hands. When she did the sphere was glowing into a golden color. It glowed until it set off a force of energy to knock Evelence and Ratonhnhaké ton back. Soon, no one was in the room except the two teens. They got back up and saw numbers, symbols, and other strange objects float around the wooden walls.
"Greetings," A woman appeared in the center of the fire. She had spoken in the English language.
They both looked the woman who was standing in front of them. Her dress was high-fashioned for anyone to afford or to build.
"Are you a spirit?" Ratonhnhaké ton asked astonished.
"You may think of me as such." She smiled and snapped a piece of paper in her hands. She held it out to Ratonhnhaké ton and Evelence.
"Look for this symbol and you will find a man who will be able to train to become this symbol." Then she started to fade and so did the numbers and symbols on the wall. Everything was back to normal again. The Clan Mother had been waiting for them to return.
"It seems the sphere has taken an interest on Ratonhnhaké ton." She pointed her wrinkled finger at Ratonhnhaké ton. His body lay on the floor with the sphere in one hand.
"What did you see?"
"There was a woman...a spirit of some sort." The Clan Mother had been nodding when her eyes looked up at her. "She had told me and Ratonhnhaké ton to search for this symbol." She drew the symbol with her index finger. "The spirit told us to search out the man who knew this symbol and train to become it."
"Interesting." She got up and looked down at Evelence.
"But why do these spirits want you and Ratonhnhaké ton to go seek out this man?"
"I do not know."
They both looked at Ratonhnhaké ton, waiting for him to return.
