An Irreplaceable Truth OMAKE!
By marissafish
Author's Note: So this doesn't really have to do with the plot or storyline. It's just a filler chapter but don't worry. This isn't like Naruto and fillers are going to the only thing you get for 2 years.
Description: What went into making the third chapter of 'An Irreplaceable Truth', see simple as that!
Disclaimer: Assassin's Creed isn't mine; but the making of 'An Irreplaceable Truth' is! So let's begin the journey.
First off! Marissafish always reread the chapters to be sure of what has happened so far; like what the assassination target's name is, the city; how she and Altaïr are getting along. Why? Because she is too lazy to save chapters on her computer; she just rewrites over the file.
Secondly! She always replays the assassination that Altaïr does. Why? To see what happens, what the assassination target is like; Sakina's targets will usually be the opposite of what Altaïr's assassination targets are like (for example Tamir's opposite is calm, trusting, doesn't sure contractions in speech, and is just generally better in all ways).
Thirdly! Marissafish decides what will happen and plots this out on a piece of paper (this is what she does for all storylines; decides what will happen in each chapter and how the characters will develop). Why? So she doesn't connect her head with the desk because she can't think of what to have happen next.
Fourthly! She is connecting her head with the desk. Why? Because this was spontaneous and just had to get it down before the idea went bye-bye; meaning she doesn't have a game-plan.
Fifthly! Marissafish calls her equally obsessed friend for input on the character design. Why? Because, this is like Assassin's Creed; it's made from a team composed of different races, beliefs, and musical taste.
Sixthly! She writes a mock-up. Why? Because by doing this she can have her friend proofread it, and then point out mistakes, out of characterness, and to add or delete something.
For example the following scene was cut out of the third chapter:
Sakina smiled and laughed at what the Bureau leader had said. They have been like sisters for several years; the Bureau leader was lost and frightened when Sakina saved her from some muggers. It was soon after that incident that Brigid, the Bureau leader, was inducted into the sisterhood. It was when Brigid lost sight in one of her eyes that she was given the job of Bureau leader of Damascus. At first Brigid was happy; being from Acre, she never knew what the desert city was like. Then Brigid heard some of her sisters talking about her.
"Poor Brigid, if she hadn't lost sight in her left eye then she would be stuck with suck a dead-end job." The other two agreed with their friend; Bureau leader was a dead-end job. Never to see Masyaf again; or to go on an assassination mission, and it was all because of her eye. It was then that she began harboring a hatred for Aaliyah, their so-called master. Brigid lost all respect for the older woman; she even planned to kill their master! If it wasn't for Sakina; Brigid wouldn't be alive, she would be dead. Sakina stood at her side ever since they met; if fact when Brigid was put on trail for treason, Sakina stood up to their master.
"Brigid is much of a traitor as I am; if you wish to kill her, then you will have to kill me." The pure dedication and loyalty that Sakina possessed for Brigid was amazing. Now Brigid would help Sakina reclaim her honor.
See it was good; happened yet it got cut because the Bureau leader didn't really need any background. Well my friend and I are still arguing over that. If I'm lucky, Brigid will actually become the Bureau leader's name and will have the same past.
Seventhly! Marissafish writes up a final copy and prints it out. Why? Because Marissafish keeps a copy of all her work printed just in case.
Eighthly! She sends the story to a secret beta reader to be check over for mistakes and bits and pieces like that. Why? Because Marissafish wishes to write the best possible chapters for her dear readers and keep them happy with all of the utter awesomeness that is Altaïr and Sakina kicking Templar ass.
Ninthly! She begins thinking up the more comedian points of the chapter. Why? Because even though it's the third crusade, the story still needs humor; like Altaïr getting bitten by Jabari. That was comical…and witty! And having Malik sing a spoof of F.U.N. that was also pretty humorous if you think about it and it's clever. Man, I'm on fire, baby!
Tenthly! Here we are at the end of the filler. I hope you enjoyed it all. The final step is to post it on because well, the reason is obvious.
So there are a few things that didn't make it into the filler. Like the fact that Marissafish has a playlist that she listens to while typing something Assassin's Creed related. She'll probability publish it on the web if she gets off her lazy ass (which we both know for a fact she isn't). Also with the fact that she tries to publish once a week to ten days and this is good for all her fans. Also that while Jabari is a pure-wolf, Altaïr the bird is a mix of raven and eagle. Anyone listen to the lyrics of 'What I've Done'? I just noticed that it has a line that says 'there's no blood' which is funny if you think about it. I can imagine an emo going 'There's no blood?! What do we do? What do we do, oh god, what do we fucking do?!' which is funny. :D no wait…yeah :D is right.
