Civil war looms
Jonathan sits alone in his room writing in a journal with an assassin insignia on the cover. "The year is 1860 four years ago I received my Assassin robes and the rank of master assassin and now I write in this new journal so that those in the future will read this and know how it felt to be in this time. My friend Abraham Lincoln is running for president next year and if he is elected that will give us the assassins political power over the Templars but I fear war may loom over our country not just between the assassins and Templars but with the union and the confederacy. Samuel and James are both worried of this fact as well but I know it will have to come to an end but the outcome is unpredictable though the leaders of the confederacy are sided with the Templars and the unionists the Assassins but for now all that matters is preparation". "What are you doing John" exclaimed James walking into Jonathan's room. "Writing how" asked Jonathan. "You need to meet your recruits we have had a lot in the past few years" replied James. "And" said Jonathan with a confused face. "Well they will be yours they will follow your orders" replied James with a smile. "Right then I'd better see to them where are they" said Jonathan closing his journal and standing up. "Outside come on I will show you" said James walking out of Jonathan's room.
"So here they are" announced James pointing at six Assassin recruits who were standing outside of the farm. "I know some of them" replied Jonathan. "Well here is franklin Johnston he I very good at combat" said James pointing to a bearded man with a boarding axe around his waist. "Nice to meet ya jolly boy john" said Franklin shaking Jonathan's hand. "You too frank" replied Jonathan. "And here is Paul Jackson you already know him the stealth expert" continued James. "It is a pleasure" said Paul putting his fist to his chest. "And next is Helen" said James. "It is an honour sir" said Helen bowing before Jonathan. "The pleasure is all mine" said Jonathan kissing her hand and making her blush. "Come on Romeo this is your cousin Viktor" said James pointing to Viktor. "Hey Vik nice to meet you" said Jonathan shaking Viktor's hand. "Me too cousin it has been to long for it to be natural" replied Viktor smiling at Jonathan. "And here is Benjamin Hastings the man you met when we first came here. "Nice to be" said Jonathan before being cut off by Benjamin. "Well that's very nice that it's nice to meet you like it's such a giant celebrity isn't it" said Benjamin with a sarcastic tone. "Well you don't have to be a dick about it" replied Jonathan looking at Benjamin in a different way than before. "And next before you start a fight is Markus Nuttonious a man from France and a legend with a bow and arrow" said James pointing to a man with a bow and quiver and a small scarf to cover his face. "Bonjour Sir" said Markus "It shall be an honour". "Don't you expect a kiss" said Jonathan with a smirk. "Now Jonathan that you have met the assassins you will be fighting with it's time for you to know what will happen if war does break out" said Samuel walking up from behind them. "Where will we go" asked Jonathan. "You will be going to a fort that will be targeted by Templars in order to gain control of that state as it is close to a Templar fort and during your time there you will have to find two targets one is a military general the other a slave trader both need to be eliminated" replied Samuel.
