Dear Readers this story is about Altairs life growing up I am not saying this is what happened I am just adding my story of my perspective of what could of happened enjoy J
From The Skorch
"So discontinue The antiseptic cash charade As the cry of justice comes I'm gonna let this fire free"
"It is a cry of injustice it is terror of the people it is a skorch on humanity"
The Flying One:
The screeches of the woman were inhuman and irritating to Al Mualims ear the man
who must be the father was grasping onto her for dear life as she crushed his hand.
Hm a Christian woman and Muslim man having a child o how their religious leaders would be outraged.
After a minute or so the screaming subsided and the tiny cries of a baby entering the world echoed around the room Al Mualim allowed himself the smallest of smiles before excusing the pair so he could have a look at the child. He was small even for a newborn he would grow he looked weak this would change he would become great but greatness comes at a price. He turned put the baby in its snug cot and watched it sleep for the moment when he was three years of age he would be introduced to the creed and start his training the child at this moment knew nothing of what he would become or...what would happen to his parents at that time.
He will be strong and loyal but most of all he will obey without question this is why I have chosen him for the task I have in store for him it will not be easy and there will be sacrifices but it will be worth it and when he is spent and he is worthless he will see his family again or he will join me either way I WILL have what I want.
The mother and father came back in the mother singing to him softly while him and the father exchanged money and gold. The mother turned to see and Al Mualim met her gaze her eyes watering glistening her almond eyes watering making them look like treacle under the light his blue eyes hard and steady he turned and walked out his guards talking among themselves.
Inside the house the woman attacked her husband with a fury of motherly protection while the father stood there tears leaking down his face he held his wife even as she hurt him she collapse holding onto his knees stood like this they would give the child there utmost attention they would not have to work they would not have to worry about theives and cut throats looking through the window he saw one silent and balanced like an eagle of death it turned and jumped from the building. The man thought.
That will be my son my son who I have just signed on to become a killer for an easy life I hope he understands.
Turning to find his son fast asleep he touched his forehead and named him "Altaïr ibn La-Ahad" then the mother looked up at him shocked the meaning of their sons name made her cold to the core now knowing why he had agreed to the money and the giving of there only child his name meant The Flying One and Son of none.
He got in his bed with his wife and slept as his wife's tears leaked onto his bare chest
"Bastard" she whispered before moaning into his shoulder. Shuddering he closed his eyes and slept.
