Hello everyone! It's time for the next exciting chapter! Or at least semi-entertaining chapter... Anyways! Let's get on with this chapter that I don't quite know will be about this time. I usually just get an idea then roll with it, so...you know. Let's do this!

P.S The Guest that sent me a Review for my last Chapter. I have a message for you at the bottom Author note. I hope you enjoy the Chapter!

Disclaimer: Whoever shows up that isn't my own personal Ocs isn't mine. Just so you know.

At the darkest times of night there are rare times where the founder of the Mansion doesn't wish to train- these are very rare times- and instead heads to the room to stare into the darkness of night with the moon and the stars being his own form of lighting. The shadows does not frighten him as they have aided him well in the past being both his cloak and his shield protecting him from the dangers of his enemies while keeping him concealed from his targets. He has learned to use the darkness to his advantage very early on in life, and that advantage only grew when he gained the power to manipulate it to his will; however, he does recognize the dangers of remaining in the strangely comforting embrace of Darkness for too long. He knows to fight back the temptation to unleash all of Darkness' power with his will while keeping it under and the iron grip of his control.

With the full moon shining overhead he seemingly stares out into the vastness of space while being lost in the even more vast expanse of his memories going through them and examining his life once more while wondering about the decisions he chose to make. It is not the first time he has wondered if he has made the correct choices in life, and it certainly won't be the last. The memories of lives ending before him, whether by his own blade or others, will undoubtedly haunt him for the rest of his existence; however, that doesn't mean he won't have others to aid through his troubled mind as his love, extended family as well as his actual family, and friends will make sure that he continues on despite his choices in life.

So there he stands under the star filled sky with eyes glazed and unfocused, and in a rare moment of time- when he isn't around Aura- his guard almost completely down secure in the belief that no one with threaten him on his own rooftop. That changes the instant he feels the cold feel of sharpened metal on the side of his neck snapping him out of his daze and instantly focusing all of senses on blade pressed on the left side of his throat "You shouldn't let your guard down that much." The Italian accented voice cause the rather vulnerable teen's mouth to twitch upward slightly before in a flurry of movements he elbows into the gut of his assailant causing a grunt of slight pain to escape from that same voice, and as he twirls around a blade extends from his sleeve with a flick of his wrist while he takes aim at the assailant's throat just as the other blade goes to his throat. Both Blades halt merely centimeters from the skin of each other's throat each of them having a slight deadly gleam in the moonlight while the two on the rooftop tilt their heads back in order to avoid being pierced through.

The person who attacked the teen is dressed in white robes while a hood conceals the majority of the person's face except for the smiling mouth that has a mustache/beard combo with a slight part on the right side of his lip due to a scar there. His own hidden blade extends from under the braces shielding his left arm that has a shoulder cape flowing slightly behind the arm that would have concealed the knives on the man's hip, and around his stomach is a band that has a metal version of a symbol that mean a lot to the two of them: The symbol of the Assassins.

With a laugh both of them lower their hidden blades letting them withdraw into hiding while the man pulls back his hood revealing his well kept graying hair with amusement shining in the wise eyes of this mentor "Ezio Auditore da Firenze. You are getting far too old for this my Mentor." The teen jokingly says to his teacher in the arts of Assassination before the older man waves off his concerns "I am still young enough." His reply makes the younger Assassin laugh a little before going back to watching the night sky.

Standing next to him Ezio looks across the expanse of night sky himself seemingly pondering on things himself before speaking up "You are examining your life once more." Recognizing that he said it as a statement rather then a question David sighs as he nods in conformation "I have done many things that wasn't necessary as well as lost control of myself on multiple occasions before slaughtering innocent people." Not bothering to try and counter these facts the Mentor of the Assassin's Brotherhood simply nods in agreement while simply stating "You have."

Turning to his student Ezio continues "You have also done many things to help the people that you have encountered." The seventeen year-old shakes his head sadly "The amount of good things one does can never balance out the things he has done wrong." Frowning at the boy's self-deprecation the older Assassin goes by his side before gently placing his hand on the boy's shoulder in reassurance "You cannot focus on the errors of the past. They will cloud your judgement in the present as well as the future." With the student turning his head to look into the eyes of his teacher he continues "You cannot afford such a thing. You do more then fight for yourself now."

"You fight for the freedom of Humanity." That one simple line rings with the truth as the Assassins fight to keep the freedom of humanity alive throughout the generations no matter what they have done or who they are "You are more then just a being of destruction and Death my mio figlio. You are a part of the unknown history of the world that protects the rights of all living beings while remaining in the shadows. We take no credit for the rise or fall of the empires we have aided or demolished nor for the miraculous victories of those who want freedom."

With the teen's full attention on him Ezio quotes a saying of the Brotherhood that is known by all Assassins "Lavoriamo nel buio, per servire la luce. Noi siamo Assassini." With the meaning instantly in the forefront of his mind David mutters the translation "We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are Assassins..." It's true meaning is clear to those who serve using it: They work in the shadows of history silently guiding and protecting the rights of freedom while never entering the spotlight. Their mission is important and their actions will echo through the pages of history by the actions of those who were in the spotlight, and their type of actions may very well determine the fate of the future.

Of course with him as an Assassin that includes the winged teen as he actively fights against the Templar order under the instruction of his Mentor. He has slit the throats of many people who were corrupted as well as defended others from the might of the Templar, and he takes pride in the work he does due to how his own freedom and rights were taken from him in his earlier years. He has also seen it as a way to put his deadly talents to use in order to help redeem his previous actions, but with the more people he has slain the more his sins seem to weigh down on him.

His mentor could always seem to be able to sense his internal struggle as he has always aided him in these matters with patience and an unusual sense of understanding that is rare among people. This along with the mentoring in the ways of the Assassin has paved a way for David to begin seeing the older man as more of a Father Figure instead of just a teacher, and with this brought a strong sense of responsibility to never fail the Assassin Mentor; however, to never fail is an impossibility and is bound to happen sooner or later. When the inevitable did happen the mental berating of himself doubled bringing more weight to his already heavy soul. Ezio noticed this with every failure and always sought to take some of that weight off the boy's soul with the wisdom that comes with the age the student tends to tease about, and thus a circle was made of suffering, responsibility, doubt, pain and reassurance that has never ceased from his earlier years as a Assassin recruit.

Even now the circle that cemented their Father/Son relationship goes on just much not as often as it used to, but it has transitioned to Ezio from trying to help soothe all of his student's worries instead of just his failures "What you did can never be taken back, but what you do next can still be decided." These wise words have been told to David countless time by the man he considers his Father, and each time it did help him continue on; however, it just seems to delay the pondering that causes many issues to the boy's mind.

Gently speaking to the young assassin the Mentor of the brotherhood starts reciting the Creed of the Brotherhood "Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember..." Without thinking David continues the Creed "Nothing is true." The wise man continues with a slight smile he continues once more "While other men are limited by Morality and laws, remember..." Instinctual finishing the Creed of their order David recites "Everything is permitted...we work in the dark to protect the light. We are Assassins."

The Creed is recited to all Assassin recruits that make it to the rank of an actual Assassin, and they are wise words brought down from generations of Assassins that strove to keep themselves secret while they fought their enemies; however, while they are wise they are also ambiguous and can be interpreted in several different ways. One such way is that since nothing is true one shouldn't believe anything and since everything is permitted they should also chase after any desire that strikes their fancy, but this would be a terrible twist on the powerful words of the Creed. Another form of interpretation is that with nothing true everyone only lies and with everything permitted you should never trust anyone since they can and will hurt you simply because they wanted to, but this too isn't what the words truly mean.

Their actual meaning goes far deeper then the selfish views of one person as they describe the reality of Man instead of a kind of person or a type of society. Nothing is true for every person holds their own view as well as their own set of experiences that help them sculpt and define their own set of truths, so by that their is no one set of truths that is universal. One can do what anything they want at any given time, but once it is done they must accept the consequences of their actions. With the wisdom of these simple statements passed down throughout the ages of mankind the Assassins have had access to some of the facts of Man, but at the same time some have skewered it for their own selfish reasons.

This Creed does far more then just be lines to be remembered. They are the guidelines that an Assassin must keep in order to stay true to their goal of preserving freedom for humanity, and only those who can figure out the real meaning of those words will continue on the right path to do such a thing. These words also act as a reminder for the young troubled Assassin that despite his past shortcomings and failures he still continues on accepting the consequences of his own actions while forging his own truth to be followed in his actions of the present, and such with that reminder David smiles slightly at his mentor with his doubts and worries dissipating -for the moment- so he may continue to carve his own path.

"Thank you mio padre saggio." He gratefully whispers to the Older man, but he merely just smiles back while stepping back to the young man's side as they both look back up to the moon once more with no worries at that moment.

This went rather well! I've always wanted to do an Assassin's Creed story, but could never establish at what time in history it should be or even the relative plot. So, I am happy that I did Ezio here, and I think I did he as correctly as I can get. Also translations below to what the Italian words means (I noticed their very close to Spanish).

Also I wanted to point out that yes David considers Ezio his father as well as his only parent. What happened to his other parents? Well... he killed them in a fit of rage. That is another story entirely though! Let's just say they may have had a massive part in why David is kinda the way he is.

One last thing before I end this: I received another review other then Myst and 0. Normally, this would make me excited because I always want to know what people think of my work, but this review was more of a...inquiring of another Fic of mine known as the Multiverse ToD where people from every universe is subjugated under the whims of your guys truths and Dares! Now, this person was a guest so I can't talk to them through forcing me to write this out here.

You may just be a fan that is curious of the updating schedule of the ToD. Perhaps, you are worried that it won't be continued, or perhaps your just tired of waiting for it. Regardless, I must admit I haven't made much progress on that chapter. In fact I was beginning to lose interest in writing period, but then I thought of an idea I had long ago: 'Hey! We have so many strange and wonderful adventures in the Mansion why not write them out?' So I did and this fic was created from that. You see I have a much easier time writing this because I can write whatever I want here! Any adventure that comes to mind, any insane situation, anything! However with the ToD I am restricted to the people who are there, to the situations other people want and the ideas of others.

So I am sorry if I don't update anytime soon... I promise the ToD isn't finished yet! I'm not just going to abandon it! It will just take me a long time to get back to it. I would like to talk with you one on one to further explain this, so Guest I can only do that if you get an account though... if you should decide to please message me if you get an Account. Alright then I hope you enjoyed this! I'm sorry for the very long Author note and, of course, please come back again! I'll see you later!
