Chapter 2: Training
Altiar's Letter to Malik.
Dear Malik,
I want to summon you back to Masyaf castle and train some apprentices I have taken under my wing.I would train them myself but I am busy running the order and you know how hard that is. I will send someone to replace you at the bearu, but I must tell you theses apprentices are different from the others you have seen and I have trained them a little. They have a lot of potiental with time and alot of training and... a patient teacher. I hope to see you soon old friend,
Sincerely,
Altair
Altair rolled the note up and got a carrier hawk out of it's pen and tied the note to its leg and let it out of the window. He then dismissed the ladies in front of him and set them a quators to themselves, he didn't want the other assassins distracted from the work, just to gape over some women. He put them in a dorm that no one slept in and he bid them farewell and told them to stay in thier quators until he came for them.
Malik arrived 3 days later and he went upto went down to the girls quartors and introduced them to Malik. They stared at him with shock and greeted him normally, as if he wasn't missing his arm.
They shook his hand and they both bowed to him. Malik then looked at Altair in shock, He let girls into this order!, he fumed mentally. He then breathed out quietly and then bowed back to them and greeted them in turn. Altair then said " This is Rachel," He pointed at the multi-coloured hair girl " and this is Danielle," He then pointed at the other girl " I have tested them to see there ablilty but not much, they know how to handle a blade and even throw a knife but they can't do much physically themselves, there skill is slight as there strenght and endurance isn't great. I would like you to train them as you would train any other recruit, even with as much bluntness with them. Now begone and be done with it!" With that Altair left the trio by themselves and went back to tend to important matters that constantly troubled the order. Malik turned to the women and said "Girls follow me then.I want to start immediately,"
He lead them down into the courtyard and then turned to see them with pants and a hood over there heads ;to cover there faces. He lifted his eyebrow inquisitively and then Rachel said "Our Master gave them to us, so we could train in peace, I think he had the right idea though. Otherwise we would stand out among our brothers," He then nodded and took them to the armoury to get them both a sword and he got a bunch of throwing knives to show how to throw them later. He lead them back into the courtyard and into the little wooden area and asked them to fight each other to see what skills they had. The both lifted there swords in front of them and circled each other.
Danielle then lunged at her friend trying to slash her chest but Rachel jumped backwards, slipped and rolled over as Danielle tried to stab her in the gut. Rachel then jumped back onto her feet and shoulder bashed her friend and grabbed her sword from where she had dropped it as she had rolled. Then both of them charged at each other and both of them were locked hilt in hilt, both pushing to get the upper hand and disarm each other. Rachel growled with effort, as she was usually weaker in arm than Danielle, sweated poured down there heads due to the heat of the mid-day sun, there robes and also the effort put into throwing the other of each other. Then Rachel withdrew from the contact and shoved harder, throwing Danielle off balance and kneed her in the stomach and pushing her to the ground and putting her sword to her moved her sword aside and dropped to the ground next to her friend and they both laid there, gasping for air. Malik clapped his hands slowly and commented "Well both need to get some more endurance and put a bit more effort in building up your muscles and you'll make fine let me lend a hand and I'll show you some things," He opened the gate in front of him and hoisted them both up by the scruffs of their hood's and led them to a target range at the back to test there skills in throwing.
Once he had done that he showed them different techniques in healing just incase they might need it. He then showed them how to climb, they both seemed to pick up theses skills quikcly as if they already knew how to do it. Weapon throwing and first aiding needed a bit of work but otherwise they were fine except thier fitness and their endurance, that would come with time...
A/N: Chapter 3/4, I don't know whether to add them, as I don't think chapter 4 adds to the storyline in anyway. Please R&R! Oh and I forgot. AC is property of Ubisoft and not me!
