Chapter 1: The Creed is what we make of it….
Asander Blade is one of the few assassins who, raised as a young boy, grew to follow the path of an assassin. Yet today, he still enforces the ancient creed of his ancestors:
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. We are Assassins. Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember. Nothing is true. Where other men are limited by morality and law, remember. Everything is permitted.
The Brotherhood is not as strong as it was before, withering under the force of Abstergo. The title of "assassin" bears no meaning anymore, dissolved into nothing but a definition for lies and personal gain. The remaining few, true assassins, have remained together to resist the templar influence, and joined Asander in the hopes of ridding the word, "templar" from the history texts.
Asander Blade holds all assassins under his creed as brothers. By "brother", he actually means the literal term for "brother". If an assassin should die protecting their creed, it would be like losing his own flesh and blood.
This is the journey of the Soaring Falcon, Asander Blade...
Asander's steel blade pierced the Templar's throat. Blood cascading from the man's neck, tingeing the air with the smell of blood and metal. Time seemed to slow down as Asander asked the man, "Tell me about the Ares Initiative, and what you plan to do with the Pieces of Eden" Trying to hold on to his last embers of his life, the dying man told him, "Your Brotherhood shall see it's end, assassin. I will take my secrets to the grave" Asander had no need for the wretch anymore. He lowered himself to the man's ear and said, "Those who take their secrets to the grave will be haunted by them forever, your torment will never end, Templar. Rest in peace…."
The assassin occupied New York City, murdering the head developers of the animus at Abstergo until he had heard from an informant that Abstergo H.Q was stationed in Raven City, Chicago. He had no time to waste, for every second that he didn't stop the templar's, they were one second closer to killing the Assassins.
Asander took the city subway line to Chicago, Raven City where he would meet up with an old friend, Gavino Auditore and Asander's ever burning flame, Maria Sorillo. Ever since childhood, Asander and Gavino were as blood brothers, always looking out for one another and eventually becoming master assassins. When he arrived to the city his friend and love were waiting for him at the station.
"ASANDER, OVER HERE MI AMICO" screamed the Assassin, but Maria slapped him hard enough to shut his mouth. The Italian glared at his colleague, rubbing the area where he was ever-so-subtlety slapped but she wasn't paying attention to him.
Maria looked at Asander for the first time in years. His hair had grown, parting from the forehead to his jaw. He wore a black hoodie, with an embroided red eagle on the back, black combat pants and a leather brown leg pouch, strapped around his waist and above the knee. His hidden blade had three leather belts strapped on top of the hoodie with the hidden blade covered by a sown-on fabric that matched the hoodie, with a zipper down the middle and an opening at the start of the cuff to allow the blade to exit.
Asander set his eyes upon Maria and Gavino, he had missed them for so long. He looked at the Italian and smiled when he said, "You haven't changed a bit, Gavino." His friend laughed and shook his hand, "Unlike you Asander, you have matured and grown since I last saw you." Before Maria could welcome Asander, Gavino chided, "But between you and me, Maria has ripened also, eh Asander? Maria decided to slap him again. Harder, this time. The Italian felt her hand make contact and winced at the force. Even Asander twitched a little. After her fury left her she said to Asander, "You look like your about to go on a templar hunting-spree. You shouldn't stress yourself with that, you know. You do have us to help you"
Asander replied, "I know but it's not safe anymore Maria, especially from your rage. I bet a hundred Templar's would kill themselves before getting bitch-slapped by you" She was about to slap him too, but agreed with him. Gavino led them out of the station and into Raven City. Unfortunately, it was raining. "Ah cazzo! It is always raining in this bitch-of-a-city. I'll call the cab.
After almost an hour of grueling rain and full taxi's, it was Maria who hailed one down.
All she did was whistle.
"Damn Maria, now I thank god you have such a fine a-" but before he could say it, Asander gave him a look to warn him for Maria. "What was that, Gavino" she said but he gathered his words and replied, "awesome skills. I meant to say skills" she got in the cab followed by Asander, and finally Gavino. The Italian exhaled, lucky enough to still be fine. They drove down the road and took a right uptown. As they were driving, the taxi had a touch screen monitor that advertised Abstergo's new program called the "Ares Initiative", and that it would be open to the general public soon. "What was that" ,Asander whispered to Maria, trying to keep quiet so the driver did not hear them. She said, "We have been looking into this for awhile, but only dug up that it has something to do with the Pieces of Eden" after that the cab turned into a dark alleyway. The smell of death hung in the air. Gavino exclaimed, "Hey idioti! This isn't our stop!" only for the driver to reply, "it is now, assassins" and pulled an M9 and shot Gavino in the shoulder. Asander pulled Maria down and then Gavino and shoved them out of the car. as the driver kept firing. The shooter noticed that they were not in their seats and got out only to see them escaping, he shot Gavino in the leg so Asander had to hide him behind the dumpster with Maria in the dark alley. Asander pulled a Desert Eagle from his leg pouch and loaded it. "what are you doing?" screamed Maria over the gunfire of the templar. Asander only said, "my job"
He rolled out of cover and into the fray. The templar was bad at shooting so Asander guessed Novice, he dodged the incoming bullets and shot the templar in the thigh twice.
Asander put his gun away and walked to his prey. "P-p-please don't kill me. Please! I'll give you anything!" the Templar heard the schnick of the assassins hidden blade and Asander said " I want your life" and plunged his blade into the templar's neck.
Asander's steel blade pierced the Templar's throat. Blood cascading from the man's neck, tingeing the air with the smell of blood and metal. Time seemed to slow down as Asander asked the man, "Tell me about the Ares Initiative, and what you plan to do with the Pieces of Eden" Trying to hold on to his last embers of his life, the dying man told him, "Your Brotherhood shall see it's end, assassin. I will take my secrets to the grave" Asander had no need for the wretch anymore. He lowered himself to the man's ear and said, "Those who take their secrets to the grave will be haunted by them forever, your torment will never end, Templar. Rest in peace…."
Asander pulled his blade out of the corpse, and walked to his friends. They got up, walked into the car, and Maria told Asander the location of the Assassins Bureau.
The templar laid dead, the flies starting to gather around his corpse already.
