Chapter 3: The Siege of Masayaf Part II: AN: Hey people, got my first reviewer, yeah it is a bit action packed, but no one has commented on the Son of Jack line yet, so I'll give you a hint, you were named after your father example being Odinson, get it now? I think I made it too easy, but onto our story.

3rd person PoV:

The beginning battle began with a fiery chain of explosions from the powder kegs, the ranged fighters of both sides firing volleys at the other, and the Demigods charging recklessly into the Assassins' ranks, the initial casualties were enormous for the Demigods, losing over 350 men in less than three minutes, Both sides were having trouble, the Elders of the Assassins were engaging the officers and important people, such as a Son of Athena named Richard Lionheart, Cyrus, being the reckless idiot he is, engaged his own mother, the goddess of the Hunt in a close combat battle. Marcello engaged a group of Hunters with Tyrande and Altair, the trio unleashed death and destruction upon the Hunters. And the Hunters, being unskilled in melee fighting, were slaughtered until a Phalanx of campers came to their aid. "Madre, you should have never come here, Masayaf will stand and survive here or we as the assassins will die trying to." Cyrus spat and threatened his mother. She just looked grimly at her favorite son (Not that he knew that) "Please, just leave Cyrus, I do not wish to hurt you. Please just take your assassins and hide away." Artemis pleaded with her favorite son, in hopes of getting him to retreat. Cyrus spat on the ground in disgust at her words, "You never cared for me or your other children, and you are not and will never be my mother." Cyrus roared at her then charged at her with his hidden blade and hook ready to slash and hook her. She just looked at him grimly and parried his first strike with her duel knives. She sighed in despair and attacked him.

Unknown PoV: So, the battle of Masayaf has begun, this will accelerate Cyrus' destiny exponentially… Back to 3rd person PoV: Tyrande, Altair, and Marcello were currently surrounded by the Phalanx, and what appeared to be a son of Zeus and the leader stepped up, what he said, enraged Cyrus, Artemis, and the Assassins enough for them to decimate their foes. "Surrender now and I promise none shall happen to you, but you my dear" He said while pointing his sword at Tyrande

"Will be…Entertainment and my personal wife after your two friends here are gone." He said with malice and lust in his eyes, Tyrande, enraged by his words, shot 3 arrows: One into his soft spot, one into his throat, and one into his heart. "Kill them all!" roared the second in command, a son of Athena by the looks of it. Altair jumped over his two comrades and siblings and stabbed the first demigod with his hidden blade, the second he shot with his hand crossbow and the third with a throwing knife. As this happened, Tyrande and Marcello engaged the other ones and decimated the ones trying to charge at them, Sons of Ares presumably.

Marcello unsheathed his swords, one a rapier, the other a Syrian sword, and unleashed a whirlwind of death upon them, he was factor of death towards the Demigods, and the Storm of Blades they called him for reason. The assassins drove back the hunters and Demigods, Artemis sent one last sad look at the stalemate between herself and her own son, she only wished he would have won so she wouldn't have to kill him. Both sides collected their dead, burnt shrouds, wept, and mourned the loss of their family members. Time skip time!

Somewhat 890 days later…

The Siege of Masayaf lasted almost three whole years, and most of the death tolls went towards the Olympian's hounds, they had lost more than 100,000 demigods and about 89,000 hunters, while the assassins, changed their tactics and approach every battle and attack to limit casualties, giving them only 30 dead out've 10,000. The main losses were Marcello, who told Cyrus to find his wife, sons, and daughter and keep them safe, Cyrus promised his old friend this exact thing and swore upon Chaos. Tyrande fell to Artemis after she took the deathblow for Cyrus, who fell enraged at the death of his sister and killed more than 10,000 of Olympus' forces. He wept and wept after the battle for weeks. Johnathan fell to sheer numbers, but not before taking all but one out with him, the last was Ares, who hid and waited as a coward would and stabbed him when he was weak and tired. Ares was then ripped to shreds by Altair, who ripped his head off and stabbed it upon a wooden pike. Altair did not fall in the battle, he was ordered to by Cyrus to evacuate the remaining assassins besides Vierno and myself, and he told him

"Go Altair, you must hide away all of the secrets of Masayaf into this vault, it shall open once the vault deems itself ready, all of Masayaf's secrets cannot fall into Zeus' hands or Earth will be destroyed…Altair, I know you grow tired of this, so you may choose two options: To remain in the vault till your death, or to seal the vault and live a happy life on your way out…" Altair, in a last act of loyalty, chose to safeguard the vault till he faded… Vierno and I stood upon the battlefield, awaiting the hounds to come. "Cyrus..." Vierno began while unsheathing a knife…

"They will not come through this path; No, I gave them a way around us, and they promised me power, a kingdom, immortality, and women. All I have to do is kill you" He said as he approached Cyrus; Cyrus looked at Vierno with hatred in his eyes, and all he said was "I had a feeling you were a traitorous dog, did you think I would not prepare for this Vierno son of Zeus? No, I prepared fully for it."

While approaching Vierno unsheathing his hidden blade… Vierno charged at Cyrus, slashing wildly, Cyrus being smarter, dodged under his swings and swept his legs from under him. Vierno, in a rage, got up and tackled Cyrus. They rolled around in the dirt until Vierno took his knife, and cut Cyrus' eye, Cyrus screamed in pain and clutched his head, but shot one of his flintlocks at Vierno. It had hit Vierno square in the head, and he fell dead immediately. "Requiescat in Pace brother…" Cyrus said while closing his eyes.

He was walking away when an unnoticed Son of Hermes snuck behind him and nearly finished Vierno's job; by slashing at his eye successfully, he almost cut it out've him, Cyrus rapidly turned around, picked up an old forgotten lumber axe and chopped his arms and legs off…

"Requiescat in Inferno bastardo" He said in Italian. He walked away, but not before getting shot with a silver arrow into his mantle upon his right shoulder. Cyrus quickly moved back and pulled it out, seeing the hunters and remaining Demigods…

He looked at his weapons; A tomahawk, shaped like a tear (ASSASSINS TOMAHAWK PEOPLE), the Lumber axe coated in silver that he found, his two combat knives, his hidden blade and hook blade, his crossbow, his flintlock pistols, his rope darts, and lastly, his fists if it came down to that… He only said to them "I will make a game out've this, I'll kill as many of you as I can before I fall to one or more of your blades, let us see who will endure upon this last day; for this is the fight that will decide the fate of Masayaf…But before you do, Athena, go to your pig of a father, tell him he will never have the secrets nor the Artifacts of Masayaf…"

Cyrus said smirking the whole time. He quickly cut a piece of cloth from Vierno's corpse and covered his eye wound and said "Let the game begin" And the chaos of war consumed Masayaf once and for all, for the deciding factor of Masayaf would be his survival…

AN: Whew, damn I'm out of shape, but Cyrus is the only one remaining upon the battlefield, how many of the dogs will he kill? Will he ever receive aid from the two patrons of Masayaf? Will he survive the fight with the wound on his eye? Will I stop asking questions and write already? Yes I will. See you all later, and remember everyone TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, THIS IS SLAM4C SIGNING OFF!
