Prologue

We are currently in an open plain, there is grass scattered here and there but nothing else besides loss dirt and blood. A battle is taking place between two strong factions: The Assassins and The Templars. The Assassins are currently losing as there speed and grace is no match for the brutality and strength of the Templars. There are five hundred assassins still standing and there about five thousand templars left. The pure numbers of the templars are currently slowly crushing the dwindling numbers of the assassins.

A flash of white happens on a ledge of a platform, the shape of a girl and three men can be seen, along with a dog. The humans are asleep but the dog is awake and fully alert. The dog barks loudly and nudges the girl, it seems to have little effect but the girl does eventually awake. Her first sight is of the battle and she gasps and shakes one of the men, who is dressed in white robes, she then shakes another of the men who is dressed in something rather strange, a white hoodie and demin jeans. The white figure seems to come to his sense at a slightly shake and is on his feet as soon as the girl moves from his side. He turns to see her rouse another of their companion but his eyes are on the battle, he recognises the side that he fights for growls, much like the dog, under his breath and takes a couple of paces forward before something tugs on his arm. The girl is looking at him with a pleaing expression and he sighs in defeat and moves to wake the other man with robes like him but much darker than his own. Once they are all awake they observe the battle and wait for its results.

The Assassins were losing, it was all too clear. They were dwindling in numbers and they and thier leader refused to retreat. It was only a matter of time until they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of the Templars. Some of them knew that, but they refused to back down and seem weak in peers and thier leaders eye's. Thier leader was a remarkable fighter though, he had taken on more than his lietenants or his ordinary men, he was strong but even his strength was wanning but he still refused to retreat and surrender to the Templar's wishes. He was a wise leader but moments like this seem to make him look arrogant and too proud for his own good.

The four figures on the hill were stood in silence, even the dog didn't utter a sound. The scene below them was to horrifying to put to words. The girl, unbeknowst to the men crept down the hill and ran through the feild or corpses, seeking for survivors. There was little chance that there any but she had to try. Her dog stayed at her side and helped her, if there was any survivors her dog could sniff them out. Impossibly at the edge of the lines were the Templars had retreated was a man, barely alive but he could still deliver the information she needed and anything he wanted done, she would do.

"Friend..." The man rasped out to the girl. She nodded and she knelt next to him and listened to him throughly.

"Let history write that this wasn't the end of the assassin order. Did anyone escape? "

The girl nodded, too shocked for words.

"I give you my blessing then, child. Let it be known that I, Huma Ma'n the leader of the first assassin order passed into the void with another to carry out his work. Child, will you take my blessing and make sure...templars don't suceed?"

The girl nodded and a single tear escaped her eye but the man brushed it away weakly with his hand.

"Hush child. Get any survivors out of here and tell them that you are the heir to my title. Tell them that...-" He rasped for his last breath and whispered "You must stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent. Hide in plain sight and never comprimise...-" His breath escaped him and his arm fell to his side and his whole body stiffened as the girls trembled. A comforting hand placed itself on her shoulder, one of her companions.

"Come on Isabella. We can discussed what he said later. We need to get the guys out of here before they are added to the list of the dead." She nodded and let the hand on her shoulder help her up and gently guide her to the other guys and away from the horrifying scene.
