Arriving at his uncle's villa, Ezio dismounted his horse, and ran towards his Uncle,

"Nipote! What are you doing here?" Mario asked

"Zipo, I have no time to explain, I must ask your help." Ezio said, struggling for breath, after running as fast as he could to his uncle.

"Let me guess, you need help, or the means, to kill someone." Mario said, walking off towards the door to the villa.

"How did you know?" Ezio said, catching his breath

"Well, the last time you came here, you needed help, why should now be any different?" Mario laughed, as he entered the villa.

"Well, it would appear, Francesco de'Pazzi did not die, when I killed him, or, thought I killed him…that…grassone bastardo!" Ezio shouted

"Ezio, I understand your upset, he is, after all, the man who made sure your father, my brother, and your brothers, my other nephews, died…" Mario said, looking upset, "But, it has been twenty years, Ezio, we cannot dwell on the past, but we must also make sure he does not try and do the same to you, or me, for that matter…"

"How would you have it done?" Ezio asked, pleased his uncle wanted Francesco dead too.

"Quietly, no one must know he is dead, it must seem like an accident, or suicide…" Mario said, then addressed a messenger in the corner, who Ezio hadn't seen, "Ride to Florence, to Leonardo da' Vinci, retrieve the item the man is translating for this boy, and be quick about it, he is expecting you." The messenger left, and Mario opened a hidden door, "come, Ezio, we must discuss this in more privacy…"

"Uncle, did he…" Ezio began

"There is no time to talk here! Come, now, Ezio." Mario said, firmly. Once inside the hidden room, Ezio began to explain how he found out Francesco wasn't dead.

"So, you were walking between Florence and Venice, and you walked past a man who look just like him, Ezio, I must say, this isn't much to show that he is alive…I can hardly allow you to go and kill a man just because you think he is Francesco, I'm sorry, I can't help."

"But uncle, allow me to finish!" Ezio said, "After I passed him, he turned to the guards he walked with, and he said 'there, that's the boy, kill him!'"

"I hope you didn't stand around and wait until they tried to!" Mario exclaimed

"Of course not, as soon as I thought it was Francesco de'Pazzi, I ran towards Venice, only just made it into the city before they caught up with me too" Ezio replied, "however, I fear that Francesco de'Pazzi knows I came here, so I must kill him, before he has a chance to hire enough mercenaries to over power us!"

"I understand why this could cause problems…" Mario said

"So you will help me find him?" Ezio said, standing up from the seat Mario had given him.

"No, to do so would only make him know that you are hidden with me, and if he knew that, I have no doubt he would come and kill us himself. Mi dispiace veramente, Ezio, truly." Mario said

"So I cannot kill him?" Ezio said, sitting back down, looking deep upset.

"I cannot help you, yet. When my scouts give me word that he is moving troops towards us, then I can openly help, until then, I cannot do anything, I am sorry." Mario said, "Atleast, I cannot openly help you, not as a leader of this small city…" Mario stood up, walked around the desk, and pulled Ezio up, "But, as your Uncle, I can." Mario finished, pulling Ezio into a hug.

"So, you will help me?" Ezio asked.

"Well, I believe Francesco de'Pazzi may be alive, as Nothing Is True, you know this, already, don't you?"
"Better than most, uncle" Ezio replied, "But how does this help us kill Francesco de'Pazzi?"

"The fact that Nothing Is True, won't, but, because I can permit you to kill him, weather or not it is wise to do so will."

"Everything Is Permitted." Ezio said, smiling.

"this is true, governments, private guards, the templars, they all have rules, we, the Assassin's, only have three, and these do not interfere with killing anyone."

"I know the rules, uncle." Ezio sighed

"I will remind you of them anyway." Mario said, "First…"

"Stay your blade from the blood of an innocent"

"Means kill no one who is not a templar, or, your target." Mario said, sternly

"I know what it means, uncle!" Ezio retorted

"you may well do, but that apprentice in Leonardo da' Vinci's workshop, needn't have died"

"He was in my way, uncle!"

"this means nothing to me! You were trained to disarm, even hurt someone so much they can do nothing, but you choose to ignore this training, and killed him!" Mario screamed at Ezio.

"I understand that I should…"

"You understand nothing, Ezio! And until you understand these tenants well, you cannot hope to kill Francesco de'Pazzi!"

"I apologise" Ezio said

"This is a start, but I must be certain you will not do this again," Mario said, calming down, "Second,"

"Do not Draw Attention to Yourself…"

"Which mean never reveal yourself to your target before killing them, or to guards, after killing your target. Be unseen, blend with the crowd."
"I know, and I never have," Ezio said, "Have I?"

"It is true, that no assassin has ever successfully killed their target, and not been seen by guards, so I will not mind if you are noticed, but, to be noticed before killing your target, makes it far harder to kill them, remember these words, Ezio! You must be a blade in a crowd, not suspicious, and not unarmed, never confront a target unprepared. The way Francesco de'Pazzi knew you were who you are, shows you are not taking enough care, always be alert, a templar could be anywhere!"

"I will." Ezio nodded

"And, the third, and most important tenant,"

"Never compromise the brotherhood"

"Which means your actions must never have an affect on all the assassin's, your coming here has meant I needed to increase my guard, heavily! You broke all three tenants, at some point, Ezio, and so, I should not help you, but, I want Francesco de'Pazzi dead, as much, if not more, than you."
"I am deeply sorry for this, uncle, Mi dispiace veramente what ever you have me do, to prove I am loyal, I will do it! Be it beating you in a fight, I shall, be it killing the pope, I shall, what ever you wish, I shall do."

"Well, your enthusiasm impresses me however, breaking all the three tenants can not go un-punished…"

"Then tell me what you have me do!"
"Ezio, I will have you track your own targets."

"What?" Ezio said, taken aback by the punishment "How is this to punish me?!"

"Simply, Ezio, you have always had others track the people you seek, now, you, and you alone, are responsible to find them."

"Very well, where would you have me start?"

"Venice, Francesco de'Pazzi undoubtedly has been searching the city, but, as it is so large, he may still be searching, this is where you must start, but be aware, if Francesco is alive, he may well have persuaded the guards in Venice to kill you for him, if he has, you must never be seen!"

"I understand, uncle, goodbye"

"Goodbye, and take care, Ezio"
