"Why can't you come to my dance recital today" my best friend Elisa complains to me

I look at her while I am saddling up Astec, my appalosa pony

" I have a riding competition" I said, reaching over to Astec's head

"Errinaya Marie Syth" she said " You better come"

" Elisa please don't use my full name" I said, hopping on Astec's saddle " Besides this competition is huge. It could take me and Astec to the National Championship"

" Maybe tomorrow we can see a movie" she said, while walking beside me on Astec

" Count on it" I said, slowing down in front of my dad's car

I watched carfully as she walks toward her car and drives off. I then quickly jump off Astec and go into my room. I check my phone on my dresser. It has a message from my mother Nelena

Errinaya

The cow is in the shead at the market. Meet us at the Armour stall at 9:00

Nelena

I chuckled and walk over to my bed. I quickly fold up my bed to usally reavel a hole but my father had it all borded up.

" Merda" I said (Translation: Shit)

I run to the garage and grabbed a hammer from the tool drawer. I ran back upstairs and started undoing the nails that attached the boards. After 3 minuites, the boards were undone and I jumped through the hole. I was led down a torch-lit hallway. I stopped and was surrounded by the tomstones of all of the past assassin leaders. I kneeled and said my prayer

"miei fratelli, possa tu riposare in pace, assassini come molti prima di voi portiamo un sacco di onore di renderti orgoglioso e per mantenere viva la fratellanza" (Translation: my brothers, may you rest in peace, killers like many before you bring a lot of honor to make you proud and to keep alive the brotherhood)

I run past the dust covered tombs and stop in front of the famous Assassin armor, woven by Leonardo Da Vinci. I grab it off the podium and got dressed. I pulled on my leather Greaves and make sure my hidden blade was working. Then I grabbed my dagger, sword, bow and arrow and my Tomahawk. I then pulled back my long hair and put up my hood. The hood prevents people from seeing my face and I exit through the secret exit. I hop on Astec and rode towards the main market. I then reach my family. I noticed my mother, and my older brother Ezio named after a great Assassin warrior who lived in Florence.

" Where is Rafe" I asked my bloodstained brother.

My mother started randomly crying. I looked at him with despair

" He was captured by the Templars" he told me

" I am going after him" I said, determination in my eyes
