The assassins

A few nights ago Sophia has has gotten me in a very smart trap, the best part is that she is no longer a virgin, but now I'm walking through the markets, the farmers got their vegetables and their butchered live stock ready to sell it.

I was walking through street of the markets, some how I felt like I was being watched. One time I saw a hooded man on top of a roof, as I gotten a second glance at him he was gone as soon as I saw him, it's like he was never there... I became suspicious of my surroundings, I noticed some of the Templar's following me, but as soon as I hit the ally they surrounded me and there was nowhere to run nowhere to hide. The knight of the group drew his sword like he wanted to challenge me so I drew mine.

"You moors will be gone from holly lands."

"I'm not a moor, your making a big mistake to attack am member of the kings family."

"You think those lies will help you Muslim dog? your kind will be gone for all you have done to our comrades in arms, they will be avenged."

He ran to me with his sword held high, I was about to defend my self till some man land on the knights back feet first, to my surprise it is the hood man. The other Templar's start to draw their weapons and come en-guard and charged at him, but the didn't stand a chance, the hooded man drew his own sword and started fighting in an chivalrous style, every move he made was a self committed killer blow.

The fight if you would call it lasted a few seconds, once the Templar's were all down he went up to me for a talk.

"Are you alright my lord?"

"Yes I'm alright, thank you for helping me."

"Allow me to introduce you to my self, my name is Louise."

"I'm Carter Le Hard, brother of King Phillip, now tell me why did you kill the Templar's in such a murderous way?"

"I'll explain my lord, I'm an assassin, we have been around through generations, we are now stationed at every land the Templar's have conquered. The Templar's try to control the world by order and taking the power from the kings including your brother, so we assassins try to free the people from Templar influence, starting with the hierarchy."

"So they have to die huh?"

"Every last one"

We kept talking about the assassins and their ways, he proposed a treaty with my brother but that will take persuasion, so he asked me to join his cause, fight to restore peace to these troubled times.

"It feels tempted Louise, I would join you but I need to think about it."

"Don't worry sire, we will give you the time you will need."

He left and I went back to the palace, as I arrived Phillip was walking through the hall ways and he was smiling with happiness, but my wife Sophia came as well.

"Hello brother, why so depressed? did you lost something?"

"The Templar's attacked me brother."

"What? I told them not to attack you in any means."

I could tell he was angry, he started to leave muttering to him self but loud enough for me to hear it.

"This is a disgrace I can't believe they drew their weapons on my very own brother I can't belie-."

He slammed the door behind him, leaving me and Sophia alone. We talked to each other about what happened, she got surprised when she heard that I have been given permission to join a group that is a counter culture to the Templar's, she asked me about these assassins and I have to explain to her what they actually do.

"Do you think that we could trust these people? I mean they could go against us and kill us all."

"I would make sure that they won't do such a thing my love, I will do any thing that will be considered the safety of our family."

A few days later Louise came to my office to talk to me for a few minutes, Sophia is curios enough to come and listen to our conversation. We talked for about an hour until Sophia sees Louise's point.

"I think that you are the most reasonable person in the whole world now."

"Thank you my lady... (to me) Your wife is pretty strong on the inside, she would fit perfectly with us."

"strong she may be, but don't let her beauty fool you, she is as feisty as a warrior."

"You got that right my dear husband."

Every time she said something that makes me feel right it makes me smile, she is always right and rarely wrong, I always have a rep for her that she always prove something right, it's not what a man always want but I'm fine with it, she is very smart when it comes to politics, friendships and conversations. We talked a little more till we came to an agreement.

"So you want you and your wife to join our cause?"

"It seems like a wise choice, I can't just leave her alone, she needs me and I need her."

"Then that's settled, meet us at the Notre dame cathedral a few days from now and remember once part of the creed you and your descendants will be always part of the creed."

He left my office and shut the door silently, I never thought that our future children and grandchildren and generations to come will be part of the creed, it's like inheritance to the throne and to become a knights. a few days later we went to the Notre Dame building site, it's still going to take decades to have it complete, when we arrive Louise was standing there waiting for us, he singled us to follow him and led us to house that is bigger than the others, once we got in he brought us to the basement and in there was a robe, the same robe that Louise is wearing, it has braces, and a belt that holds throwing daggers, and a scabbard for a sword or an other type of weapon.

He brought us to an alter that shows some various types of trophies from defeated Templar's, and some of the other targets that may have threaten the creed.

"Our mentor has agreed to let me teach you two the ways of the assassins, we will teach you to hide, cover, spy, assassinate, run, tactics, and to sharpen your senses."

"We will do what ever it takes to become an assassin."

Celeste's POV (out of the animus)

The night was a little scary, without daddy I feel scared but mommy tries to keep me brave. My mommy and daddy got me when they are 17 years old, now I'm three years old and the told me that they are young parents, I believe that parents is a word the combines mommy and daddy, after daddy left and said goodbye I wanted to go with him but he wanted me to stay home and be protected by mommy.

It was impossible for me to sleep and I had what daddy called it a vision nightmare, I was standing in a room full of electronic things computers, they reminded me of Daedalus laptop that mommy owns but only bigger, the creepiest part is that there are grown ups on them, they look big and they had beards and short hair, but there is one man walking back and forth, he looks like he haven't eaten for days, he has blond hair that is in a mess like he just didn't clean it.

"Well... Any thing yet?"

"His brain waves are normal, he's reliving the life of his ancestor now."

"Is he the descendant?"

"He is master Octavian, he is the descendant."

"Well get him out."

"We can't."

"Why?"

"He needs to continue till his ancestor has nothing left to show him."

"How long will it take?"

I don't what or who they are talking about but I have a feeling that this is very bad, so Octavian is the skinny blond guy, I thought that he has bald hair sitting behind a table thing that daddy called a desk stoking a cat but I never thought that he looks like that, he looks like he will be taken down ea silly, the guy that Octavian is talking to just shrugged.

"Hours maybe days depending on how long the memory will last, but it will be over in no time okay all we need is patients, the more we know of his ancestors the better we understand our enemy."

"You mean your enemy? The one who has caused trouble to you over the centuries?"

"Yes from the crusades to modern days, they have given us trouble."

"Ok whatever but keep monitoring the spawn of Neptune, when he wakes up kill him ok he done allot of trouble to Rome."

"Don't worry, he will know suffering beyond his darkest days."

"Good."

Octavian was smiling and he went out the door, I have a bad feeling about this Neptune spawn they were talking, I went to the room that he was pointing to, and in there was a type of machine that looked like a bed but what's on the machine was scary.

"(shriek) Daddy, what happened?"

Nothing in his body moved, no twitch or a blink it's like he was in a deep sleep or he is completely lifeless, then I noticed a type of round glass with lines that go zigzag like the letter Z, then I realize that Octavian is looking through his head to see if there is anything in there with a machine, now there is a big problem, daddy could be in danger.

I woke up with a scream, I remembered the dream that I had, then mommy came in my room in here night gown.

"(sleepy) Celeste what's wrong sweetheart did you had a bad dream?"

"Mommy I think daddy is in danger."

"How so?"

I told her what I saw in my dream, after I finished telling what I dreamed she had a looked scared, I never have seen my mommy scared before, yet I never thought that she is scared of any thing.

"Oh gods, Percy oh no Celeste your daddy could be in big trouble, I just hope that uncle Nico will ind a way to get him out."

"Why?"

"Because I made him swear on the Styx that he should help him in any means."

"I hope that he will get daddy out of there."

"I hope so to."

I came into her arms and we were crying for a while, I hope that Nico will save daddy from a Octavian before something bad will happen to him.
