Otsututski Compound

Tokyo, Japan 12:15 PM

As I was walking around the compound, I was reflecting on how I was going to tell my Farther the disturbing news from our Caribbean trading fleet. It was a few days since I received the news from Captain Oda Senju, a descendant of the famed Senju Samurai clan of the Kai Province.

Flashback start. '

Two Days ago…

I was walking with one of our shipwrights discussing a new design when I saw Captain Oda heading our way, dismissing the shipwright I met the captain midway and was curious as to why he wasn't in the tavern. "Sir, sorry to disturb but we may have a problem," he started; "Continue Captain," I said. "It appears that a templar fleet was spotted a few miles north of Tulum, I remember the lessons yer farther taught his captains of this fleet about his great-grandfather Edward being of the Assassin Order. It appears they are looking for the key to the Grand Temple." He finished as we reached the Compound's main gate. "Thank you my Friend, I'll discuss this with my farther before the week's out."

Flashback end.

As I came upon my father's study, I took a moment to still my nerves before knocking. As I Knocked, I heard my father's booming voice say, "Come in."
