Disclaimer: I do not own Assassin's Creed nor any of the characters.
I am tasked with no simple assignment. According to Reginald's informant, Harrison, the storehouse I search for is located in America. I receive only a list of names of five men sympathetic to our cause as aid: Charles Lee, William Johnson, Thomas Hickey, Benjamin Church, and Johnathan Pitcairn. I alone am now responsible for discovering and seizing the contents of the storehouse before our enemies have the chance in addition to establishing a permanent foundation for the Order to thrive and prosper in America. It is both an honor and a burden. Reginald took the liberty of booking my passage to Boston. I leave from England to the colonies at dawn. I lay at night pondering what this new world has in store for me, contemplating whether I made the right decision in defecting from the Assassins to the Templar Order. My father wouldn't approve of my choice, had he still lived at the time. Enduring unending lectures and pointless explanations of why the Templars must be destroyed would not alter my convictions, not after the attack, not after the murder of my father and kidnap of my sister, not after they refused to assist. I'm sure he would understand. Immeasurable days and nights at sea await me before I reach these mysterious new lands, a chance to start fresh, to begin anew.
