XXX Lilith's POV XXX
We just arrived at Redmont and I see Alyss galloping away from us. Willa was sent ahead of everyone and told Alyss. As we got closer Willa came over to us. "Let's get Will and head over." We ran into the castle. Willa said that Alyss said Will was in the castle. Gilan sent a messenger pigeon to Crowley when Willa left telling what happened. Crowley was asked to get the other Rangers to meet at the Masyaf since the Gathering was starting tomorrow. Altaïr sent the rest of his group ahead to the Masyaf.
"Will. Horace" Willa said as we entered the courtyard and see them exit the stable. "We need your help. The Brotherhood's base is going to be attacked." Will and Horace both nod. Will then gestured for Altaïr to lead the way.
"First thing though," Altaïr says to us, "It's a two day ride without the whole encampment so if we ride at full speed we should make it there with little or no time to spare."
Will nods, "Well, I'm sure that the Baron won't mind if you borrow some of his hor-." But, before he could finish, Altaïr let out a loud an ear piercing whistle and a few seconds later we could see five horses running towards us from a distance. I got back onto the horse Gilan gave me to use and we got going, with Altaïr leading the way.
After we ride for a while, we see flashes of white darting between the trees. Willa puts her pointer finger and thumb into her mouth and lets out a whistle. The white figure stops and then comes trotting up to her horse. A gasp comes out at the sight of a white wolf. "This is Luna. She is a friend." Willa said.
Will, Gilan, Cory and Horace all nod as if this was a normal experience for Rangers. I glance at Luna in confusion before shrugging it off, I've already had my strange animal experience today. We continue on our way to the Masyaf. When we finally get there we see fighting between the Assassins and the Templars. We ride up with Altaïr, to who seems to be in charge right now over the Assassins.
Altaïr shouts to him over the noise of battle, "What has happened? Who have we lost?"
"We've lost 10 men, Mentor!" One Assassin yelled to us over the battle. Horace and Cory slid off their horses and joined the Assassins in battle. We hear the sound of horses galloping towards us over the noise, we turn and see the rest of the Ranger's Corps riding to us. Will noticed the man leading them and shouts his name.
"Crowley!" Will then waves them over to the rooftop where we are going.
"Ranger's, help from above! I've heard you're good with your bow." Altaïr addressed. The Rangers then climbed up the building to the top. I saw a few Assassin's up there with some crossbows, trying to take down most of the Templars from afar.
"Lilith!" Gilan shouts to me, "Come with us, you'll be safe there."
I start following suit of climbing up the wall to the roof. Noticing, as I quickly ascend that the gauntlet of the blade is still on my left forearm; I decide to keep quiet about that, they have too many problems right now to have a former templar servant be complaining about small things.
When I finally reach the top, Gilan leads me to an area behind the Rangers but still close enough to see over the edge to almost exactly beneath me. And I watch the battle from there for a while. Willa comes up to me when she can to make sure that I am doing alright.
"Um. Just so you know," I say to her, "I still have the blade." She pushes my head down and ducks her's, as a bolt from a crossbow shoots our our head.
"Fine, just keep it for now or hand it over to one of the Assassins up here." She says before going back to her shooting position.
It is nearing the end of the battle, and I haven't figured out what to do with the hidden blade. But then, I peer over the edge and I see Altaïr is fighting. He doesn't notice the Templar behind him ready to stab him, I scream, "NOOOO!" I then jump off the top, determined to not let Altaïr fall. As I jump, I unsheath the blade and my legs curl up so that they are almost to my chest.
As I descend, I extend my hand back, land on the Templar, and push the blade into his back. He gasps before going limp. I jump off his prone body and I go around and help other Assassins where I can.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Altaïr turn around, see the now dead templar, and me trying to avoid the battle, then acknowledge that he knows that I was the one who helped.
I sneak through people into the shadows and picked up a bow and quiver from the ground. I nock an arrow after settling the quiver on my hip. I then started shooting arrows at whoever I had a clear shot at. At least fifteen templars go down if not by my bow then by my blade. But with all the chaos of the battle no one saw me sneaking around.
