hello! this is my first ever fanfic for assassin's creed! and its a story I've had in my head for quite a time. I havn't ever actually played the game, but read all the books, and seen lots of the game play on youtube, so forgive me, if not all of it is right, and correct me if so.
The first time Ezio met them, he was 27, and in Venice. He had the small mission of killing a templar, who didn't hold much in money, but was good at public speaking, and was causing a little to much chaos, for Ezio's liking. It would be a easy mission, just lure him into a side alley, and a hidden blade in the gut, and a gloved hand over the , the templar put up a chase, and by the time he found him, the man was already dead, wich may not of seemed suspisous-he may of fallen off a roof top. But the body was perfectly unharmed, and as Ezio looked for signs of death, he found a small, but deep cut at the back of his neck, severing his head from his spine, neat, and almost unoticable. Who ever did this had talllent and experience. Would the templars kill one of their own? Probably. They would blow that low. The person may of spilt secrets, or just displeased them. This seemed like the most likely cause of death, and Ezio was just confirming it when he looked at the corpses wrist, and drawn in blood, was the symbol of the assassin's.. This was not any of his men, or any of the other's. Prehaps the templars did it just to confuse him. He hummed in thought, and jumped back on to the roof tops, looking for the best route back. In the distance, he saw another person clad in clothes very similar to him, jumping over the roof tops. They were a few 100 metres away,and jumping with as much grace, and efficency as him. Two others ran, about 50 meters apart from the middle, also jumping quickly- together the made a line of 3 assassins ,making a getaway like him. Were the templars playing dressing up games? Were they actaully assassin's? In a split second Ezio noticed this all, took it all in, and made his choice. He would follow them. If they were templar's, he would slay them, and it would be one less enemy to fight again in the future. If they were assassin's, he would want to know what they were doing, taking his target. He took off after them.
They saw him as soon as his started chasing them, and spead up to a faster speed, almost inpossible for Ezio to catch up. They dived and weaved, and dropped down into alleyways, with unmached skill. He had lost them, for looked in a tiny alleyway, were they had dropped down into, that lead to a canal. Not a single assassin in sight. No clues, no indications, no nothing.
"Give up yet?" came a smooth voice from above him, and he saw the middle assassin peeking down at him, balancing on the very tip of a building. How they got up there? Who knows. He checked, and no, he didn't know them. They had a hidden blade, witch only masster assassins had, so they were obviosly not templar's. Prehaps, like Uncle Mario said, they were from a different group of assassins.
"Who are you?" He asked back up at the assassin which was gone, silently. A piece of paper floated down, with a time, and a place on it. Obviously, they wanted to discuss it later, and had more work to do. This was either bad or good. Bad, he had no idea who they were, or wether to trust them, good, they just killed his enemy, and if they agree a meeting, it means they intent to stay in Venice a little longer, giving Ezio more of a chance to know who they were better. After all, he owed them for killing a enemy.
He knew he would meet them. His curiosity always's tended to over come his common sense, and the note never said bring weapons(it had, how ever, said come alone) as he turned, to go back to the Theives Guild, he could of sworn, that the voice of the assassin that had called down on him, was female.
