OK so I got a second chapter. I am going to add until its not a cliffhanger as much. In which case your reviews will determine if this thing continues or not.
As the ship rocked back and forth Serpent's dreams were plagued by images of what caused him to become an Assassin. Of his parents and brother being ripped to shreds by an unseen force. No, not unseen. The Apple. Serpent was determined to get the apple and ruin the Templar for good. When he was jarred awake by the ship rocking and screams of the dying. "Cazzo!"(English: "Fuck!") was all he yelled when he was thrown from the bed, grabbing his robe and belt with his magic, throwing them on and the hood up he galloped to the Captain's Quarter. "Dusty! What is happening?!" he yelled. Dusty was on the ground, bullet fired from the ship embedded in his stomach "Assassin... no, Serpent..." he muttered, blood coating his maw from coughing "Yes? Who did this?" he said, kneeling over the captain. "Please... kill the ones who orchestrated this.." and with that, he fell limp. "Requiescant in pace amici. Tu memoria fuerit, vivet in corbidus Sicarii." and he closed the captains eyes, looking out onto the bloodshed that is the boat. He glares at the other vessel, seeing the flag of the Templar flying. Serpent gallops out and onto a fallen mast that had broken the window, galloping as fast as he could, but relaxing his muscles so he has energy left for the fight, barely dodging bullets. He locks on to two of the Templar pirates, both of them earth ponies. as he jumps he releases his hidden blades, killing them both the moment he landed. He retracted them and used his magic to throw his knives, each one hitting all of the remaining pirates in the forehead. It is when he looks up he sees that it is a Templar who is captain. "Ah, so the Assassin is among the living still! It's a pity you let your skills go to waste, though!" said the captain, as his horn glowed an odd color of pitch black as a pistol was covered in the aura. The Assassin and Templar looked at eachother, the captain firing his pistol as Serpent threw a knife. While he tried to dodge he failed, the bullet still hitting him in the chest, armour just strong enough to stop the bullet from fully penetrating his body. The Templar was, however, much less lucky. The knife pierced his throat, blood bubbling out around it. Serpent pulled the bullet free, a hole in his armour but a graze on his coat and skin. He walked up to the Templar and said "You have killed many Assassin's, and thrice as many innocents. Now you have been bested by a lone Assassin. Any remaining words, Templar? I can tell them to the ones you love. But tell me before I kill you." Serpent said, looking down onto the dying Templar. "O-only one... Assassin. You work for a-" he coughs, nearing death even more "a person with no name... A.. nameless p-pony in Canterlot..? Face it... we are all the..." and with that he was dead. Serpent nodded "Causis nos omnes in praelium. Requiescant in pace animam vos deceptos." as he pulled the knife free and closed the Templar's eyes. He looked at the bloodshed around him before jumping, using a spell that allows much faster swimming. He knew that to use the Templar boat would be to be arrested and the ferry would be to be caught as a killer. He knew if he swam, his robes would be cleaned and his own fur and mane washed of blood. He swam for hours, only knowing what direction he is moving thanks to the sun burning the clouds away and using the sun. Then he realized that isn't what happened, there were Pegasus ponies clearing the clouds. He knew that meant he was close to Equestria. So he continued swimming, hoping that in two hours he would be on shore. It was then that his vision blurred and he passed out. When he awoke he was on a beach, staring up at 6 different ponies. "Ugh... where am I.." he said to nopony, but still got an answer. "You are on the beach, silly." said the light yellow one. "I am aware, what I mean is are there Templar here? And I am looking for somepony. I assume they go by Bleeding Croix." said Serpent. At this the purple alicorn tensed, now aware who he is. "Uh, Twi? You alright?" said the bronze earth pony. "Y-yeah, Applejack. I need to go back to the library, Spike is coming back with a new spellbook for me." said Twilight, turning. "And I need.. What was your name?" she asked Serpent. "I go by many titles, my name, however, is Serpent Slash. And you all are?" he asked, not getting an answer so he followed Twilight. "I assume you are the one who sent the contract. But why? Royalty tend not to put a contract on the ones who support them." he said, the Alicorn pretty much exuding a regal aura. "I.. I know, but the Princesses know nothing about the person I saw... and I read that Luna knew you. I was hoping that you would help Equestria and save us from the Templar..." she said, walking into the tree. Serpent followed her "Of course I can, but Luna knew my great-great-great grandfather, not I. He was called Innocentio by most, but it was always intended that when a colt worthy of filling his position were to be named Serpent Slash. A fitting name for an Assassin." he said, watching as she flipped through books with magic. "Well I know your name is not Bleeding Croix. The earth pony you called Applejack called you Twi." She looked at him "My name is Twilight Sparkle." is all she said.
Ok I am ending this one right here cuz I am tired as hell and going to sleep. So guess what, you have to wonder what happens next! Fucking amazing, right? You get to waste time while I sleep. Bye bye you little dicks.
