Chapter 1
Coming out of the Animus was… hard sometimes. There were moments when you could lose yourself in what happened inside; in those memories that you saw. Moments where you would forget who you were, and instead became who you were inside the Animus.
This happened sometimes, but I never felt the need to really tell anyone. Not that everyone around me would really care, only one or two people.
I would get lost in the memories; first as Altaïr, and then Ezio Auditore, and finally as Connor. It wasn't that bad at first; I thought that it was just another side-effect of the Animus, like the Bleeding Effects or fugue states. I could still remember who I really was outside of the memories while still being able to relive them as they slowly became unlocked in my memory.
It then got worse as time went on. There were lapses between the real world and the ones created by the Animus, finding it hard to see where one began and the other ended. It wasn't like they were similar, far from it actually, but it was more like where to draw the line that I saw.
Sometimes I would wake up, still partially living inside of the memories. I would think I was Haytham or maybe Connor, sometimes even stray memories from my other ancestors invaded from time to time.
Then the line would blur again, and I would see everyone around me and remember: Doom's day is approaching on December 21, 2012, my name is Desmond Miles, and I'm the only one who can stop said Doom's day. Wonderful.
To think this all might have started because of some crazy, power hungry group called Abstergo Industries. Maybe it was because of the ongoing war between the Assassin's and Templars. Sometimes I wondered how different the situation would have been if I hadn't run away.
All that couldn't be helped though; decisions were made and the effects played out, no matter how horrible they were or if you wanted to stop them. It still stunk though.
Then there were the issues with the precursors. I had no idea what my opinion of them was. One moment, they were like some holographic image, and the next they could be as real as anyone. One moment they could be there, and the next gone. And then sometimes they talked to me in my head, so yeah, slightly creepy if I wasn't used to it by now.
I found the Apple of Eden like they wanted and stopped the said Doom's day from happening. By stopping the solar flare, humanity will have to deal with the now-released Juno. But the question is: what happens next?
On the side note: this is my first Assassin's Creed fanfiction and I only have played the third one (with Connor), so I am not very knowledgeable about the series. I have done research though, so I understand at least the basic concept. I would really like to know what you thought of this, and if I should continue or not. I am going to mark it as complete for now, but if you would like me to continue (or if I get more ideas; I'm jumbling some around in my head), then I will continue to add to this. Please tell me what you thought, as well as any ideas or suggestions, in a review!
