chapter 1: prolog
Somwhere in the wild forest
Connor walked cautious through the cold wildness, after leaving the homestead.
he looked for Rabbits after agreeing with Terry and Godfrey what's on the food plan for thankskiving next week.
It has been 2 weeks since he killed Charles Lee. For that achievment, the colonial assassins declared him to be the great leader of the colonial assassins and therefore decided for him to take care of the remaining templars around the colonies while Connor should take a break for a while. Since they weren't serious threats, Connor agreed.
Terry and Godfred mentioned because of the lack of meat, they begged him to bring at least 3 rabbits, while they provide Connor wood for the winter, before their wives find out they didn't bring any meat on time.
Connor could only shake his hands how forgetful his both friends are, despite their wives.
Suddently he spot two white rabbits.
He stopped while taking out his Bow and two arrows.
Hey slowly put the first arrow in front of his bow.
after approximatley 5 seconds he shot toward his first target, sucessfully.
no second too late,connor prepared the next arrow before the second rabbit could escape, but before he could shoot quietly with his bow , he heard someone else shooting with a pistol loudly somewhere nearby.
Due to his natural reflexes he rolled sideways while remaining cowered on the thin snow layer.
After standing up he realised that it was the second rabbit that've been shot.
What's more he heard steps behind him, which got louder as connor waited.
"sorry for that loud shot, Ratonhnhaké:ton"
said a man in Mohawk language behind Connor.
After turning his head, he realised it was his fellow assassin and Mohawk Atasá:ta, aka Chogan the silent shadow.
Not only he was one of the most trusted assassins around connor and from the same background, they were also driven by revenge and justice for their felliw Mohawk people, which gave them sone kind of special bound and trust,that's why they speaked in their first language when being alone, which sonetimes made the other fellow assassins jealous.
"brother,...", Connor replied, also in Mohawk while smiling a bit, "you're not supposed to be that loud', what are you doing here anyway".
"I thought I'd make an exception. While cutting wood, your two outsider friends told me about your hunt " Chogan said while showing Connor another White rabbit he apparently captured before returning his pistol back on his belt pouch.
With the shot one they had 3 dead rabbits.
Davenport Homestead
Terry and Godfrey also returned moments later. They were very reliefed for the 3 captured rabbites.
"thank you so much, Radonhaketen and Atashota" Terry said.
Connor And Chogan looked confused while slowly turning their faced to each other, realising terry still tried to learn to pronaunce their real names.
"I missed again, right?" terry asked the both still confused Iroquis.
"of course you missed dumbass, Because it's correct pronaunced Ratunhaketun and Attashuta, am I right?"Godfrey said as he apparently corrected Terry's mistake.
"It isn't right eighter" Chogan declared while looking at both a little bit hurt while connor continued, "but I see that you both got better since the first time you tried to pronounce my real name"
Now this aroused some interest in Chogan while he turned his head towards Connor "how did they pronounced it first time?"
"Rat-hatched-on" Connor confirmed.
Chogan couldn't stop laughing after hearing that. His laugh was joined by Terry and Godfrey. Connor smiled, for the first time he realised.
After their pronouncing fail, Terry asked Connor and Chogan for the rabbits to be skinned, which he accepted.
""Niá:wen"" both said before skinng, which suprised Terry and Godfrey again.
Connor noticed their Confusion, "it's a custom of our people"
"like a prayer?" Terry wondered.
"Yes" Chogan continued, "it means 'thank you' in our language, we thank the great spirit for the rabbits he offered to be eaten".
"great spirit? you mean the almighty god?" Terry wondered again.
"of course, who else they would thank beside the almighty, serious Terry, you think they thanked the devil or the dead rabbits for their dead bodies?" Godfrey argued with Terry again.
Connor was about to tell Godfrey that the last one was correct too, but he already knew that getting philosophical could take too much time, which he couldn't afford since Chogan appeard, which meant that there was some kind of emergency.
Connor just nodded.
before Terry and Godfrey took leave, they promised until Thanksgiving to learn prnouncing their real names and the new word they learned today.
After entering the manor, Connor turned to Chogan.
"Why are you here Atasá:ta, I know you wouldn't come just to talk" Connor wondered again in their native language.
"we have a serious Situation right now" Chogan answered while he took out a letter "Joe obtained this letter yesterday from William, who searched for a Templar at the Frontier, he told me you could help us on this since Archilles was directly involved in that matter"
Connor didn't hesitate to read the messsage
Dear Mr. Addeck
Due to the present situation around the northern colonies, we have decided to send our best, strongest most capable Agents, led by Mr. Shay Patrick Cormac, for help
be in 7 Days in Boston
May the Father of understanding guide us
"Shay Patrick Cormac ..." Connor asked. He knew that name. He remembered how Archilles once mentioned that name while explaining the greatest Mistakes done by the assassins like the earthquake of Lissabon.
"the worst traitor of our brotherhood" Chogan remarked.
"created by our own selfishness and ignorance, that's why we failed back then" Connor replied.
"what are your orders, leader?"Chogan asked with serious expression on his face.
"mobilise our strongest brothers, tell them to come here, inconspicious " Connor answered while walking outside.
"and you?" Chogan wondered while following him to the stables.
"I'll go to the frontier to find William" Connor answered while taking his horse and riding of.
