Tired; not my usual self. Today was just going to be long...wow...just wow. I guess I'm just sleepy, or something. I had taken a nap, but I was still tired. I accidentally stayed up too late when we assassinated William of Montferrat, and even though Altair specifically told me not to stay up, I did. Come on, I'm a kid; cut me some slack! We traveled for a little while and before I knew it, I fell off of Majesty due to my state of sleepiness and Altair had to take care of Majesty, me, and King... oh, and himself!
Altair had to have his arm supporting me and on that same arm he had to steer King, and with the other arm he had to hold majesty's mouth thing. As soon as I got up, he had me on Majesty again, so now I'm dying in the heat, and I'm tired. I began to pour some water from my pouch onto my face, and man did it feel good! Altair was just looking at me, and I just gave him a smile. He just looked back at the road. I probably shouldn't have done this, but I did anyway.
Now kiddos don't do what I did, you might get stabbed or something, so yea. I covered Altair's head with water! Oops! He didn't know what to do at first and just froze for a moment, then he took off his hood, and did you know he has brown hair? He was quite light skinned like me, probably from that hood he always wears, and I saw his entire face! I'd say Altair was quite attractive. Not cute or anything like that! Ewe! just saying. I would never be attracted to Altair like that! He's too old, and I respect him too much.
And I see him as a father figure anyway! But lets state the facts, he has a good looking face and he has amazing skills! I'd say those are attractive things. Anyway, Altair then gave me this face of anger and hatred, and I just smiled at him and I made Majesty run or gallop as fast as he could. "To Masyaf Majesty!" I yelled. Majesty knew what was up, and ran. I was actually having fun with this 'race' and Altair...not so much. Though, we did get to Masyaf quicker.
Altair gave me a good lecture, and now I have to do training...oh well. Altair went to talk with Al Mualim and he didn't look to happy. I followed him though, just to make sure he didn't do anything that he might regret later. "Who are they?!" I heard Altair yell. I heard Al Mualim's voice, but he wasn't speaking Arabic, but Latin! "Non nobis Domine, non nobis." Altair just mumbled under his breath. "Templars." "Now you see the true reach of Robert de Sable." Al Mualim said.
"All these men, leaders of cities, commanders of armies-" "All pledge allegiance to his cause." Al Mualim added...So wait all these people we've killed are actually Templars?...I mean that would explain everything! How could have I not seen this before? It's all so clear now!...I thought. "Altair, before you go.." "Yes?" "How did you know I wouldn't kill you?" Al Mualim asked. "Truth to be told, Master, I did not. I took a leap of faith." I heard Altair say.
...What the? Al Mualim was going to kill Altair?!..Assassins don't kill Assassins!... Usually...I thought. I left the castle before Altair could see me, and I just meet up with him at Masyaf gates. I really just wanted to hit the road and go on another adventure! " Hey, Altair? Who's our next target?" I asked as we headed off. "Majd Addin." He said plainly. I just nodded my head and kept quiet for a little while. I took the time by observing everything that was around me. The sky, the birds, the clouds, the grass, everything.
It was two days after we took off from Masyaf to Jerusalem. I was kind of excited to see the sites, and everyone's favorite smart mouth Bureau leader; Malik! It was dusk about time for some rest, but dang it was cold at night! Since Altair and I had no blankets we would group everyone together. Majesty, King, Altair, and myself! I used Altair's chest as a pillow and honestly, instead of making me comfortable, it would sadden me...Is this how kids with parents slept? cuddled together telling each other that they love you and such?...I guess It was just a curious thought as I fell asleep.
When I awoke the next morning, I was quiet once again. Altair just didn't question it, probably because he wanted some peace and quiet. I was day-dreaming once again, until I flew off Majesty! "Aaaaahhh!" You could hear me yell, as I hit the ground. I couldn't even believe what was happening right now...we were being robbed...great. I saw men with their heads wrapped in cloth and all you could see was their eyes. For a moment I thought they were terrorists, but their robbers.
Altair began to kick butt and take names, he basically wasn't going to take this crap today. I just watched him as he did combos and evaded attacks, it was honestly awesome! I heard a knife being unsheathed and I jumped. some guy behind me tried to stab me, but failed. I totally just kicked him in the face. Now my adrenaline was coming into place, feeding my muscles. I unsheathed my hidden blade, and I stabbed the guy in the eye! My blade was completely sunken in his eye, and it was disgusting.
I pulled out my blade, which had some eye on it still, I just shook my blade, until some of the eye guts came off. I just pulled out my mini sword or knife whatever you want to call it. I backed up Altair as he was taking two guys at once. Now I was serious. I jabbed one of the attackers on the throat and he died. As for the other guy, Altair stabbed him in the chest with his sword. That battle was actually pretty quick, I'd say we handled ourselves pretty well for just two I think.
I got on my horse as Altair got on King, I was surprisingly calm for what just happened a minute ago. Probably because I knew we would beat them, I mean come on, we're Assassins! I'm skilled and I have special abilities anyway. Altair has his skills and speed. Now I have speed...I'm just not as fast as Altair. Ok, maybe I am, but I'll just give him that title though. Hours later we finally make it to Jerusalem, the grass was a light green, and plenty of people were entering and leaving the entrance into Jerusalem.
I honestly couldn't believe how many people there were, children were entering, as were old people. Altair and I let our horses hang out at the stables set up for other horses, as we walked into this group of scholars that allowed us to pass. Once inside, Altair and I headed to the Bureau to see Malik, who was probably excited to see us...not really. I climbed down the rooftop into the Bureau to hear Malik and Altair talking. "safety and peace, Malik." Altair greeted, but Malik just rolled his eyes.
"Were it that the city was possessed of either. Why do you trouble me today?" Malik said already annoyed...Malik, Malik, Malik...Always so enthusiastic...I thought. "Salahuddin's absence has left the city without a proper leader, and Majd Addin has appointed himself to play the part. Fear and intimidation gets him what he wants. He has no true claim to the position." Malik added...So Majd Addin is just using fear and other things like that to lead the people...That doesn't seem leader like...I thought.
"This is not some slaver we are discussing. He rules Jerusalem and is well protected because of it. I suggest you plan your attack carefully, get to better know your prey." Malik warned...This guy must be a big shot to be protected! He might be a bigger challenge than I thought...My mind begin to think. "As you wish. Here's where I would look. First, to the southwest near the mosque. After that, head south of here. There are two locations that might interest you. The southernmost church is one.
The other is in the streets, near a synagogue." Explained Malik. Altair just bowed as a response. "Do not foul this, Altair." Malik added. Altair began to head out and I all of a sudden was just not feeling it today. "uh...Hey Altair can I just stay here? You know I'm really tired and all so can I uh... Stay?" I said sheepishly. He just gave me a glare and dragged me out by my hood and was kind of actually choking me. I ended up actually going with him; crossing rooftops and stuff.
Being in the middle of the day and so, I was burning up again! And before I could say anything Altair interrupted. "Go to the streets near the synagogue, and retrieve information." He ordered...What? Just like that? Ok, what eves...I thought. I walked to...actually I didn't know where I was going, but that's what the metal piece on my arm is for! It's like a map, but since the metal piece on my arm is connected to my brain, so I automatically know on demand where everything is.
Well not just automatically, I have to find somewhere high to scan the area so my brain can make a map. Even technology isn't that advanced, yet. I do have though... other abilities...just saying. I climb a tall building to scan the area, and I soon find the synagogue thing or whatever. I just stand around and listen in on people's conversation, left and right. and finally I hear a conversation and a interesting one too!
"An execution! Is he mad! Murdering people who are innocent!" One man said. "Hush! Do you want to join them? Then shush!" The other man said. I had heard enough to fill my mind and I then didn't feel safe anymore. I got up and began to speed walk almost when I accidently bumped into this man...who seemed to be holding himself?...And he had no shirt on!? He just snapped his head at me and pushed me, toppling me over into other people, causing some woman to drop her vase and have a fit.
I was about to back slap that guy, when I heard some man running toward me with a red cross on his armor! And I was so close to leaving, perfectly incognito! I just stammered for a moment before realizing, that he was going to basically cut my head off! I turned tail and ran as fast as my legs could carry me! I ran and ran, but that Templar was fast! I threw some hidden knives at him and missed?! I missed?! The only time I miss and this is the time! are you kidding me? Jesus!
He called some of his homes, I guess and they decided to jump me and chase me. Which all this running was starting to make me tired and mad! I decided to fight them! I turned and shot some of the throwing knives hitting some of them, but there were still some. I just decided, okay! I turned back and ran; climbing a building and running into a haystack! After hiding for a while, I came out and started heading for the Bureau.
