As the Auditore Crumbles

by Raven of Alaska

Every man is mortal, every life must come to an end. As the Order of Assassins faces annihilation, one man will give all to save his Brotherhood.

1. Prologue

Disclaimer: I don't own Assassin's Creed.

Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Assassins. His name is whispered in secret, among the oppressed, the poor, even among his numerous enemies. He strikes from the shadows, never leaving a trace, always on the move. His hideout in Tiber Island, home of the Brotherhood of Assassins, is talked of with mystery, intrigue, as a legend, like Avalon. Fighting corruption at every turn, the Brotherhood has spread across Europe, giving hope to the masses. Yet, even the Brotherhood is not immune to betrayal.

I am Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, and this is the story of how I die, how my Brotherhood was almost wiped out, and how it would survive. Remember the Creed:

Laa shay'a waqi'un moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine:

The Wisdom of our Creed is revealed through these words.

We work in the Dark, to serve the Light.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Well, here I go! My first Assassin's Creed story, I had the idea after beating Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Let's see where this journey takes us! The words in Latin were found on page 350 of the novel of AC Brotherhood (paperback edition).
