Extra note: I'm so sorry for my poor poetry. But enjoy!
Where were you when the cannons roared?
The firing upon Fort Sumter
Thus created an unimaginable war.
A war for those in chains
All those looking on held their breath
Waiting to see what remained.
For two siblings, warriors of the shadows,
Who fought the bearers of the Templar Cross
Feared the time when things would come to blows.
Margaret Lelan, mother of four
Was at her New York home
When the country became enthralled in war.
She mourned the years already lost
And feared the sacrifice that the conflict would cost
Such was the price of war; she had allowed herself to say
And many people, from the North and South, would have pay.
Henry Philip Everton,
Margaret's twin and fellow Assassin,
Didn't feel the hesitation of his sister.
He prepared for the fight that was to come.
No family to think of beside Margaret,
Henry was up on the parapet
Of the Assassin hideout.
When news of the Fort falling,
Henry gave a shout.
Of fear, of happiness, of despair
What the shout was he couldn't tell you.
It would be only after the war,
When the danger rose to a climax
Could he tell you it was a wail?
No, but he and his sister knew they would prevail.
