Chapter Three

Meeting a Legend

Florence, 1476

Night in Florence was different than the nights in England. Kyla could see crowds of people walking around, spinning tales of the day, visiting with shop keeps that were still open, and the multitude of men and women flaunting about at each other.

So, maybe it wasn't different from England, but there were less people wanting to fight in the streets and there were no dance clubs around playing music so loud that it made Kyla's head throb.

Kyla leaned against a brick wall, waiting for Thane to be done with weapon keeper. She did not know how he got any money or florins to pay for a small sword, but she was sure she did not want to know. She merely watched as a few people walked by, commenting on her dress and her posture.

"Perché lei sta cosi?"

"Il suo vestito sembra terribile!"

Kyla felt her irritation rise, though she was not of this time, she could see that people still as cruel as they are in the future. Judging someone of their looks has not changed and it seemed it would never change.

She instead tried looking up at the stars, giving they provided a better sight of wonder than the dirt cover streets she was on. Her anger diminishing as the twinkle of the stars gave her comfort, as if they were her guiding forces, bringing light to the dark that surrounded them. A small smile appeared on her face, making her mood lift slightly.

As if knowing she was happy, she heard Thane approach her, with him thanking the shop keeper still.

"Grazie mille!"

Kyla rolled her eyes, looking towards her brother, a smile still adorning his face as he sheathed his new blade.

"What? I cannot very well use my other blades right now. I would give away who I am instantly to our enemy will know and we will be caught in a fight that will ruin us for the future." Thane said, trying his best to convince Kyla that he was putting forward good intentions.

"Sure. And buying a sword from this time is not at all giving you a thrill right now." Kyla said, sighing more at her idiot brother.

"So? He won't remember me, and I intend to give this weapon a proper home. Besides, you can't carry a weapon. So, I need to protect you." Thane said.

Kyla glared at him then, her anger that had been calmed was boiling again. She was the last person who needed protection, but Thane was right. Unfortunately, they were in a time where women were only good for being wives, providing children and keeping the house in order. She would seem more like an outsider than any of the poor that walked the streets now.

She brought her thoughts to what she thought was calming, bringing her anger again back down to its cage, but it seemed fate wanted her to be more aggressive. She had sensed someone was getting close to her, their stench was strong, and she could feel their eyes on her.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see a young man, scrawny and full of pride given the clothes he was wearing. There was stripes of white illustrating his black clothing and his pants. His hair was also black and thin, topped with a black hat that did not flatter his face at all. She noticed that his creepy brown eyes staring at her, making her even more on edge.

She then noticed a small group of men behind him, no more than four, dressed the same as him. Acting as his body guards of some sort, she could see that he was carrying a sword with him. The others did not.

Something about him made her stomach crawl at the very sight of him. Her skin shivered slightly, as if feeling a chill brush against her. Every fiber in her body told her that this man was not one she wanted to know.

As if sensing her distress, Thane tugged on her arm and made her walk with him, pointing at a random baker across the street.

"Hey! Look! Let's get some bread!" Thane said, guiding Kyla through the streets, letting the crowd make them disappear.

Kyla let out a breath she didn't know she was holding as her brother continued to drag her through the crowd, giving her a chance to collect herself. She had never reacted like that before, her body being frozen like that, just at the man walking towards her. There had to be a reason for it.

After regaining herself, putting her random fear aside, she picked up her pace to keep up with Thane as they continued down the street. She hoped that they would lose the man, but to her dismay, he was making his way through the crowd, pushing past everyone to get close to them. Her fear pushing through her wall again, bringing her thoughts to something never thought she would think of.

Could she defend herself? What if she couldn't? What if she fell to this man because of his men around her? Her face turned pale and pace began to slow down. She felt another jerk of her arm and was yanked down the alley, into the safety of darkness it provided.

She pressed her back square against the brick wall, waiting to see him walk by, hoping he would bother looking down any alleys or stop near them. Thankfully, he didn't stop. He kept going, pushing people aside and hearing him grumble slightly. When she was certain he was gone, Kyla began to shake, noticing her heart beat out of control. She never felt like this before. She never felt this vulnerable, not since her first training session with her father. She leaned over, supporting herself on her knees, breathing heavily.

"You can't freeze like that, Kyla."

She looked up at her brother, seeing him keep a look out for the same man that tried to follow them. She then looked down at the ground, feeling ashamed of how she reacted.

"I'm sorry, Thane." Kyla said, expecting him to yell at her at any minute, ridicule her of her actions and how she should an have responded.

Instead she heard him sigh. Hearing a little of disappointment in his sigh. She knew that her reaction was wrong. She should have been like stone and let him not phase her, but he did. And she did not know why.

"It's alright, Kyla. Just don't freeze like that again. You reacting the way you did made him want to follow us. I could tell. Next time, if we run into him again, give him nothing. In fact, give him hell and don't let him think he can get you." Thane said. She could hear the fire in his voice. His anger was there, but he didn't want to show it. Kyla kept her eyes to the ground.

What was she doing? She was strong, able, and skilled to kill and man with her bare hands if she needed to. One man with scary face was not going to make her shake now. She pitied the man now. Her fear was there but her anger was louder. She wanted to find this man now, beat him till there was nothing left.

Feeling a hand placed on her shoulder, she saw Thane smile at her now.

"Be yourself, Kyla." Thane said, patting her shoulder once before he moved to the entrance of the alley-way they were in. Kyla smiled at his back, silently thanking her brother for his words of encouragement and joined her brother at his side.

"If you get that feeling again, punch yourself in the stomach." Thane said. Kyla nodded slightly, looking over the crowd again. She still did not know what they were looking for. She knew that there had to be someone here who could give them sanctuary or protection until they could find the man that stole their family treasure. She was unsure where they would have to start looking.

She noticed that Thane was looking intently at something, seeing him concentrate on the one area that the street split from the main one, with buildings housing different businesses and homes all alike. It was hard to determine them at first glance, but after studying them a little, she could see distinction on the walls and how the carving above the doors gave away what they were.

She then noticed something peculiar, down the street that split from the main one, there was a small stream of red down the wooden crates that sat outside one of the buildings. She focused her gift through and saw the streak bleed gold almost, being enough to see but not enough to give it away.

"Thane, do you see that?" Kyla said, pointing to the streak. He nodded and moved toward the crates.

Kyla quickly followed suit, wanting to see if it would lead them anywhere. Pushing past the people in the street, the gold became more prominent as they got closer. The colour became clear to her that this must be a mark for safety or to lead to where a safe place was. The streak started to look more like an arrow when they got to the crates.

She ran her hand over the wood, feeling small pricks of the board give small pinches but nothing serious. The mark on it remaining there still, giving her more reason to believe that there was a safe place near-by. She decided to look over past the crates and noticed another mark on one of the building branching off from another street corner, indicating to turn right at the next street, giving her a new sense of hope.

"Thane, there is another one. They must mean something if only we can see them properly with our gifts." Kyla said. She rushed to the next gold streak, looking around carefully.

"Perhaps. Or they lead to a trap only meant for people like us, because we can see it." Thane said. Kyla looked back at him, ready to question him, but he was right of course.

They had no idea if these golden streaks would provide them the answer or a path to their death and defeat. She looked at the symbols again, feeling an overwhelming amount of doubt flow through her mind, but then a thought occurred to her. What if these were not meant for them? What if it was meant for someone else?

"Maybe they are not meant for us? What if it were meant for someone else?" Kyla asked. She looked around carefully now. The glowing streaks may have been for someone else and they just happened to stumble upon it.

Thane nodded his head, stepping closer to Kyla. He eyed the symbol, staying silent for a while. She looked where the symbol pointed to and it was another giving the direction of keeping on the same street.

"We should follow this. Carefully though. Don't want them to set the trap too quickly." Thane said. Kyla nodded in agreement and followed after her brother.

One after the other, they followed the glowing symbols. Taking each turn, checking around the corner before taking the next street, cautious of what may or may not come. Until they continued on a long road, seeing many shops and houses still open and alive with lively people. Kyla felt envious of them a little. How their family life was probably full of love and hardship, but more understanding of each other. Or they were a bunch of drunkards. Either way, their life right now was better than hers. She often wondered what their life would be like if they were not Assassins.

Would their lives be so different from now? Well, they wouldn't be time traveling, trying to find someone that stole something life altering. Would she have a better relationship with her father? Would she not be who she was if she wasn't an Assassin? Maybe this was the life meant for her. Seeing her contribution to the brotherhood and to her family brought somewhat peace to herself. She was sure this life was meant for her no matter what. She had a feeling her own life in a time was meant to be this, only because she really in all honesty couldn't dream of being anything else. Despite everything she had been through, she would be an Assassin. No matter what.

As they followed along the road, they came across another symbol, this one was different from the others, the glow gave shape to something very familiar to both Thane and Kyla. The symbol of their order, of their brotherhood, the symbol of what they stood for.

The symbol of the Assassin's.

Kyla could see it clearly over a door way of a huge home, draped in elegance and artistic carvings, small but noticeable to one who looked close enough to them. They slowly approached the doorway, unsure to either walk right in or knock on the open gate. Kyla took note of the court yard and how it centred the house perfectly, though she never imagined a court yard in the middle of the house, but this fit for some reason.

Kyla followed close behind her brother, taking a very uneasy step in, only to be shocked by an arm wrapping around her neck, pulling her right arm behind her back. Her brother being caught in the same fashion, though Kyla prepared herself.

Moving quickly, she shoved her right leg underneath the man's right leg, bringing her left elbow completely into the man's stomach, making him wince slightly. Enough to give her right arm enough room to turn her hand to the man's shirt, looping her elbow into the man's other arm and throwing him to the ground, slipping his own sword from his hip holster.

She wasted no time placing the sword against the man that had her brother, while simultaneously grabbing her brothers sword, pointing it defiantly at the other man, ready to save her brother and defend at the same time.

"Decidi attentamente la tua prossima mossa." Kyla said, raising the blade to the man holding her brother lower, keeping the other blade firm in place against the other.

"State your business here! Are you here to kill us, bastardi?" One asked, giving Kyla a moment to collect her thoughts. This was not a trap, but perhaps a meeting place? For their own to meet in secret? What if this was an intrusion of trust to them? Or were they rebels from their enemy's order?

Kyla not answering the other caused the other to tighten his grip on Thane's arm, making him grunt more from the pain, but he kept up his calm appearance to the two men, wanting to make them think that what they were doing was meaningless to them.

"Answer us now, ladri!"

Kyla needed to think of something. The symbol of their order had to mean something, mean something to them at least. She would have to take a leap of faith and hope they were who she thought they were. All those symbols and markings had to mean something. Perhaps extending their real identities, who they were would put them at ease a bit.

"La shay' haqiqah, koulo shay' moumkin."

Uttering that one phrase made both men freeze, releasing Thane at the same time, Kyla also lowering both swords against the two and allowing them to come to grasp that they were not their enemy and that they did not need to kill one another.

"You are Assassins?" One of the men asked. Kyla nodded quickly, handing Thane his sword back, which he quickly sheathed, seeing that they had backed off.

"Yes. We are. From London." Thane said. Kyla watched as both men stood next to each other. She then noticed that they almost looked similar, like they were twin's or they were related.

"Forgive the rough reception. We have been on edge. Francesco de Pazzi has been arrested and we are not sure if our enemy will strike to get him out." One man said, seeing that he look a bit older than the other.

"Where are our manners? I am Giovanni Auditore da Firenze." Giovanni said.

Silence was the response of both Kyla and Thane. They were meeting the father of one of the legends in Assassin history. Kyla, for a moment, lost her mind. The one point in history that they had to go to was during the time of one of their greats?

Thane nudged Kyla and made a move to bow, sort of, hinting to her to bow as well. Kyla hated bowing, to anyone, but for this man, she would.

Kyla grabbed each side of her dress and curtsied for him. She did not feel silly, but in this moment, she felt honoured to meet the man and to be able to speak to him was more than she could handle.

"I am Thane Dowling. This is my sister, Kyla Dowling." Thane said, seeing that Kyla was still a little shocked, but slowly regaining her composure.

"This is my eldest son, Federico Auditore." Giovanni motioned to the man next to him. Federico was certainly taller than his father, his hair cut a bit shorter than him, but she could see the resemblance. He was certainly handsome to Kyla, given the fact he did walk up to her, gently grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on it.

Kyla blushed slightly, having no one do that to her before, showing any interest in her or was so kind after nearly killing them both. She was more surprised how relaxed they were. They were just in the middle of a fight and now they act so civil to her and Thane.

"You have quite an arm and skill for a young lady." Federico said.

Though the gesture threw he off a bit, she maintained get calm composure, giving the young man a small smile and returning to her old stone cold features. Even if these were good at what they do, she was sure they could be cold as ice if they wanted to. Kyla liked that about them. They could be deadly as vipers or be like lovable, loyal dogs.

"Let's go somewhere private. I'm sure I would like to know why two London assassins are doing in my home so late at night." Giovanni said, motioning them to follow. Kyla looked over at Thane, seeing him nod slightly, hinting for her to follow him.

She followed Giovanni, Federico, and her brother to a room that look like a fancy office, filled with small print paper stacked in one corner and some wooden shelves placed perfectly in the corner with the desk siting right in the middle of it all. Thinking they would talk in the office, she saw one of the chairs and was about to sit down, until she saw Giovanni push on a small piece of the painted wall and revealed secret room. The part of the wall that held a nice-looking painting moved, showing another room with selves of books, paper that had weird writing over it and pinned to the wall with small knives. She could see his work of tracking many people in one of the books displayed on a desk to the side of her, list of men that were of high power and climbing.

"Forgive the mess. I have not had a chance to tidy up and give everything a complete look through. Now, there must be an important reason for you two to be here. I would like you to share, if you could." Giovanni said, ushering them to come in quickly.

Kyla stayed quiet, feeling that Thane would be the only one to talk at this point, seeing as he had travelled back in time before. He would know what to say, right? And given that women in this time we're not allowed to talk of private things, let alone know how to disarm a man and hold them hostage was not heard of in this time either.

Kyla looked to Thane to help keep their mission secret, but know what to say to keep everything under wraps with where they were from.

"We are tracking a man. He stole one of our family's treasure and we have trailed him from London to here." Thane said. Hearing confidence in his voice relaxed Kyla a bit. He did know what he was doing.

"How were they able to steal it?" Federico asked. Both him and his father looked at Kyla for some reason, thinking it was her fault?

"We were betrayed by one of our own. They let the man into our house and allowed them to steal it. We have dealt with the traitor, but we have yet to catch the man who still has what is ours. His trail goes cold here. We were hoping to find allies here who could help us, and it looks like we have." Thane said.

"What is this family treasure that you speak of?" Giovanni asked. Kyla kept fidgeting with her hands, keeping her calm composure a long wait before she could even have a proper freak out session.

"It is an inactive Piece of Eden." Thane said. Kyla slapped Thanks arm, causing him to react quickly, grabbing the part of his arm that she hit. Kyla could not believe that he said that.

"A Piece of Eden? How do you know it is inactive?" Giovanni asked, looking intently at Thane. Kyla feared that Thane may have made a huge mistake.

"My father and his brothers have tried to activate it, but it has not. They kept it locked away fearing that maybe someday it would, and they would not know it. Now, this man has it. We do not know if he has activated it or not. But we must get it back. That's why our father sent us after it." Thane said.

Kyla was impressed by her brothers lie. He was very calm and carried his voice well. As if the lie was almost true enough to convince them to help them.

"I'm afraid we have not heard of anyone coming here from London, and with Francesco de Pazzi in jail, it has been difficult to keep up with any information not related to him." Giovanni said. Kyla felt a small part of her shrink in. They were back at the beginning. They had no leads on where to start looking.

"Though, there was talk around town. Of a man dressed so strangely near the Palazzo, people were saying his clothing looked strange and his speech was confusing, but he was with one of the de Pazzi's men, so they did not question him. Perhaps, this might be the man you are speaking of?" Federico said. Kyla looked over at Thane, hoping perhaps it was the man that they were searching for.

"Perhaps. We will have to search around the city. We will need to gather more to be certain. We don't want to attack the wrong man." Thane said. Kyla nodded. Thanes response was perfect. They would scoop out the town, find the man, kill him and be back home in no time.

"Yes. A sound plan. Perhaps you would like to stay the night? Rest until the morning at least. We do have rooms if you wish to stay the night of course." Giovanni said. It would give them a chance to rest. After jumping through time then running around the city, looking for the gold markings was almost exhausting. Kyla did not let Thane say no, standing up quickly, folding her hand neatly.

"I do not know about my brother, but if you don't mind, I would like to take you up on that offer. We have travelled far and I am exhausted." Kyla said, giving Thane a grim smile. Thane sighed and nodded his head.

"I suppose I must look after my sister's interest. If you do not mind, may we stay for the night. We will be gone before dawn if you would like?" Thane asked. See that her brother was not wanting to upset the man in any way.

"No. If you could try to be gone when the sun is up. My family may not understand why you are here, but if you could leave before they question it, then that should be no problem." Giovanni said. She could see the uncertainty in his eyes and she could understand that but, she could not place the question she wanted to ask him. She knew she couldn't ask, but wanted to very badly.

"Do you have any children we should avoid? I assume since you said Federico is the oldest, that there are other children around." Thane said giving Kyla a chance to ask.

"Yes. Is there anyone we shouldn't talk to or should only avoid being around?" Kyla asked, hoping he would give her the answer she wanted.

Giovanni chuckled lightly, giving Kyla a bit of shock to his reaction, but remained unhindered to his calm stature.

"Yes. You are correct. I have three sons and one daughter. Federico you have met, Petrucio is my youngest son, Claudia is my daughter, and Ezio is my middle son. As for your question if to avoid them, better for them to meet you outside during the day than in the Villa in the morning." Giovanni said.

Kyla gave a slight nod to the older gentleman, silently thanking him for giving her what she wanted to know. Ezio. Ezio Auditore. The Ezio lived here. Kyla wondered how she would meet him, how he would be. Would he be wise or would he be like one of the old monks she read so much about? Calm and collected.

Kyla sighed slightly. It was up in the air at this point and she was ready to meet him.

"Which reminds me, where is Ezio? He was with you after his fight with de Pazzi. Do you know where he is?" Giovanni asked, looking to his son to answer.

"Ah. Ezio is visiting with Cristina. I suspect he will be there all night." Federico said, smiling widely.

So, the Ezio she wanted to meet is not the one that is here. She wondered if he was more like a child in this time. Driven more by his hormones to fuck any woman that passed in front of him. Kyla rubbed her eyes harshly, now wanting to avoid the man more than when she first thought.

"Anyway, come. I'll show you to your room. I hope you do not mind sharing?" Giovanni asked, looking more at Kyla than at Thane.

"Oh, no. Of course not. I'm sure Thane will enjoy sleeping on the floor. Do you, brother?" Kyla asked. Thane merely bowed to her.

"Of course. Anything for my sister." Thane said, keeping a smile on his face. Kyla rolled her eyes at him, following behind Giovanni. Before they reached the stairs, she noticed Federico slide next to her, offering his arm to her.

"If you do not mind?" Federico asked. Kyla smiled at him, taking his arm. As the ascended the stairs, she could hear her brother snickering behind her. She looked back him, giving him a death glare before they reached the top. Giovanni motioned them to turn right and let Federico lead the rest of the way. Their walls were carved and made beautifully, it's style enticing Kyla to stare for so long, she had almost not heard what Federico said.

"I must say, I was surprised that a woman like you can fight so well. Your father taught you?" Federico asked. Kyla kept her smile on her face, though wanting nothing more but to skip the subject completely.

"Yes. My father wanted two sons. Instead, he is given a son and a daughter. I believe he did not care after I was born. He trained me nonetheless. He made sure that I could defeat anyone that stood in my way." Kyla said, hoping that the answer was enough to keep him from probing further. Kyla was not as good at lying as her brother was, but she felt it was enough to keep him away for now.

"Ah! Here we are. I shall bid you and your brother good night." Federico said, bowing to both of them. Kyla watched him trot down the stairs, going after his father no doubt. She heard her brother open the door and walk into the room. Kyla quickly followed him, closing the door behind her.

Behind closed doors, Kyla let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She counted twice now that, she had lost her composure like that, and it was getting on her nerves. She saw that the room was simple. A hard wood floor, with a beautifully crafted carpet covering much of it, with the few pieces of art and minor homely decorations to give it a bit more bed was rather big, the blanket looking inviting to sleep on, but Kyla looked over where Thane was settled, seeing him sitting on the small couch provided, reading through the book in his hands.

Kyla merely sat on the bed, giving him time to read through what he needed to. If he could make sense of it all would surprise even her.

"What does it say?" Kyla asked. Keeping her hands pressed to her sides, she could see the worry in his eyes, giving Kyla a nervous feeling.

"You know what has to happen, right?" Thane asked. He placed the book back in the rucksack he placed on the floor.

"If what they said is true, yes." Kyla said, crossing her legs to give more comfort in this tense conversation.

"They are going to die soon. All three of them." Thane said.

Kyla sighed knowingly. She remembered the history of their order and who was a part of it. Giovanni, Petrucio, and Federico did not live beyond the year of 1476. The details on their death came to light thanks to Desmond's memories and what all information their father could get from them. Their deaths were recorded in the Assassin documents years ago, though the writer was never named.

"Can we not change it?" Kyla asked. She felt sorrow for them. Their death was close and yet she wanted to stop it. That is what the was for, wasn't it? That's want she was trained to do, wasn't she? Protect the innocent. Kill the evil.

"We can't change it, Kyla. History has to happen as it did. Like we were never here. Why do you think I told them very little about our mission? They will be dead soon. It won't matter what they know." Thane said. Kyla stayed silent. She wanted to scream at him, to tell him that they could change things. But it would be useless. Like all of their arguments. Thane was right, and Kyla did not want to admit it.

"History is not that set in stone, Thane. What if the man that came here? What if he tries to do something that was not supposed to happen? Can we not do the same for them? They did not deserve it." Kyla said, trying to keep her anger in check. She had no reason not to save them. But she had multiple reasons to save them. If this man, this Templar travelled back in time to change it, why couldn't they to make it work in their favour.

"Kyla, it's not that simple. Us changing this point in history will cause the timeline to flux and make it where you and I may not even exist. Changing things in time is tricky, Kyla. There have to be certain circumstances that happen for us to do so." Thane said. Kyla became more irritated at her brother.

"These people do not deserve what the world did to them!" Kyla said. Her voice becoming a bit louder, remembering that there were others in the building that were asleep.

"Neither did mom! But it happened anyway! Sometimes the world is cruel, Kyla." Thane said, standing up now to meet her anger. Kyla refused to back down to him, feeling she was right. She had to be.

"These men do not deserve to die. Fucking none of them deserve to die." Kyla said, feeling her anger dwindle to a small whimper.

Thane backed off slowly, still keeping his calm composure up for Kyla. He took a deep breath and reigned in his anger.

"If these events don't happen, then Ezio will not become the Assassin he needs to be. I'm sorry, Kyla. Life is unfair, you know that. But things have to happen as they did before. Whatever this man does to the past, we will have to fix in order to keep the time in the future safe. We owe that to mom." Thane said.

Kyla turned away from her brother, taking his words as he had said them. She didn't want him to be right, but he was. For them to succeed, history had to be as it was. Their deaths had to happen. Born from their death, would Ezio emerge as the Assassin their order needed. It was cruel to let it happen, a family tragedy that couldn't be stopped and for everything Kyla knew, all she could do is wait for it to happen.

Morning

Kyla awoke quickly to the sound of rustling in the room. Her brother had been gathering their things back into the rucksack. What little there was to put back. They had talked a bit before deciding to go to sleep, giving themselves a bit of cheering up before the inevitable happened.

Kyla took the bed and for all she knew, Thane took the couch he sat on during their heated argument. Kyla quickly placed her shoes on and headed for the door, stopping momentarily to fix her knotted hair in the mirror near the door. Seeing that her hair could not be fixed with just her fingers. She looked through the rucksack and found what she needed.

A hair tie.

Standing up, she flipped her head over, allowing her hair to dangle upfront of her. Grasping it gently pulling her hair together, closer to the end of head before flipping back upright to tie her hair into a messy but still appropriate pony tail. Her brother simply looked at her as he carried the rucksack over his shoulder and headed for the door. Kyla straightened her dress out and made sure that once again her shoes were covered.

Kyla joined her brother quickly, seeing he had started to turn the knob on the door slowly. Releasing the door from its holding place, Thane opened it slowly, ushering Kyla to go first and see if anyone was awake yet. Kyla moved past her brother, looking out over the courtyard, seeing no sign of anyone yet. She looked up to the roof and noticed a small holes that looked great for climbing and she made her way for that.

As Kyla reached the wall where she spotted these small holes, Thane had closed the door quietly and joined his sister as she began to climb up the wall and made her way up to the roof. Kyla braced herself as she balanced herself on to the many times that were layered across the top of the building. The sun was barely out and hardly anyone was awake. Only people awake now were the shop keepers and the bakers.

Kyla look out past the city, giving herself a small boost of confidence as the sun peaked up over the hills beyond. Today was going to be eventful and she had a feeling that it would not end as well as she wanted it to.


And that's this chapter so I will update when I can and hopefully soon. So, if you like this story, hopefully you will stay for what's to come. If not, find another story.
