"I'm glad this has come to our attention Shay," Achilles said placing a hand on Shay's shoulder. "I will send a message to all the Masters of our Order so they know not to interfere with the artifacts you have described for the time being. If what you say is true then they are too dangerous to trifle with. Our scholars will scour the texts for any mention of these 'black stars' for confirmation."

Liam pushed off from his spot on the wall and gave Shay a brotherly hug "You run off again and I'm keeping the Morrigan understand?"

Shay embraced him back and nodded blinking unfallen tears. "Aye."

It felt good to just stand there and watch the reunion between them; the brash younger brother who came home, the wise older one welcoming him with open arms, and Achilles their father sitting behind his desk proudly. That's what we were; a family; and you may not have to like your family but you always love them... "Very touching but these artifacts are too valuable not to seize for the Assassins. It must be a weapon of some sort, a weapon we can use against the Templars! The cabbage farmer could have set it off on accident! Too anxious to prove himself worthy!" Even when they make it very difficult.

"You can't be serious!" Liam rounded onto Chevalier "Even if it is a weapon no man on Earth needs that power!" He turned to Mentor, "We need to send a message to the Templars, they may be our enemies but even they don't want to destroy the world."

"Oh would you listen to this now, he wants to give vital information to the enemy!"

"To save lives!" Shay exploded and grabbed Chevalier by his lapels "You didn't see what this artifact did! You didn't see what I saw!"

"Enough!" Achilles roared slamming his fists to his desk. "Now," he said more calmly "we have to very different ideas with how to deal with this situation, Hope," he turned his head to look at me "would you care to voice your opinions on this matter?"

All eyes were on me; Achilles warm brown, devoid of judgement, Liam and Chevalier each burning with passionate fire and Shay's... they were heartbreaking... somewhere between blue and green... begging. They weren't eyes that held any doubt. "The ability to destroy a city in an instant. That's too much power for mankind."

"I agree. I'll begin sending messages to the other Mentors. Thank you Shay."
