-What are we going to do now? – Ezio asked.
-Skin the horse. We will use its skin for a tent. I will gather some wood. We can set up a camp for the night. After the camp's ready I will stay and guard it and you will go and search for some food. - The other assassin replied.
Night was getting closer when the two set up camp. They heard the voices of many animals. There was a deer watching them with interest. It was a beautiful animal with majestic antlers. Its skin was brown and very clean.
- Look over there! – said Ezio, who was lighting the fire. – We can use this for food!
- No – Altair turned to Ezio – let's just eat fruit. There's a big tree with a lot of apples on it. – Altair pointed to it.
- Fine, I will take the fruit. – Ezio said and started climbing the tree.
Ezio was climbing with incredible, almost unbelievable grace and speed.
- Get those fruit from the branch next to you. – Altair told Ezio.
- No, these on the top look better!
- Don't be greedy! Nature gave us perfect fruit and they're right next to you!
- Sorry, I was born greedy. – Ezio laughed and continued climbing.
Suddenly he heard a crack. The branch on which he was holding on had broken. Ezio started falling fast. He was rolling in the air trying to grab one of the mighty tree's branches with no success. Altair quickly ran and caught his comrade.
- I told you! – Altair shouted.
- Whoa, easy there! I will just get those fruit you told me to.
- Alright. But remember this – An assassin is never greedy.
After a minute Ezio came down with lots of fruit. They ate and then Ezio fell to sleep. Altair remained awake to watch the camp. The forest was really beautiful. The trees were great, untouched by time. Altair wouldn't be surprised if there was one as old as him. After a few hours he woke up Ezio and the younger had to keep watch of the camp. Soon the Sun dawned. The two were ready to continue their trip.
