Baptism and ceremony
Carters POV
After my son was born the Mentor decided that we should baptize our son into the creed, I thought that it's a good Idea but what is their baptism like? When I was young I got baptized into the Catholic church, and it was by pouring the sacred waters three times on the persons head with a shell, but the baptism here is more like a pagant type of baptism. Sophia and I walked into the hall that reminded me of a cathedrals hall, but it was smaller and as we went to the alter the mentor was waiting for us, he's and old man with a thin beard and he was wearing gray priest robes with a hood, he held out his arms and we gave Andre to him and he set him on the alter, for a few minutes he chanted and we were worried about what may happened to Andre, he is just a baby, when the mentor was finished he gave Andre back to us.
"He will become a great assassin one day Carter, your descendants will be the success of the creed."
"Thank you mentor... Come on Sophia... Well Andre welcome to the creed my son."
We walked back to our chambers in the palace, as we set him in the crib that we got from my brother, I still kept thinking about the ceremony of me and Sophia deign finally put in the creed, I still kept thinking about what may happen to me, Sophia, or Andre I can't have them hurt or any thing, they are my only weakness but I keep assuring my self that they would be protected, buy even I am a little nervous because I have enough experience to become an assassin, I heard that the ceremony involves branding the creeds symbol on your hand, I've heard that it was painful but they will be giving us a potion that will help the pain not to be felt and it will wear out in a few minutes, but still I all I wanted is safety from the Templar's and a happy peaceful life.
"Sweetheart don't be so nervous."
"I know Sophia but it's just that, I'm worried about you and Andre, one day he will become a powerful assassin but What do you think what our descendants do? I have no idea what will happen but I would like to know."
"We can't predict the future but what we can do is do what the time is given us, and we will do whatever we do to keep our family safe."
"Your right Sophia but we must keep each other safe."
After that we went to bed, the night was restless because I have a very odd dream. I was standing in the middle of a street, surrounded by men, next to me was a woman, she has a face and hair of a princes but a little tan, she has a fit body for a woman, and her eyes are stormy gray, the cloths are not what I expected, but what surprises me the most is what I look like, I have a much tanner skin, my hair is darker and straighter, I have a fit body, and the cloths that I'm wearing are very odd, the woman and I talked for a bit but it was all in English, but my voice and words are what surprises me, it has strange accent, and I don't even use proper grammar in my words. we fought the men and after a few minutes we took them down in a few seconds which was surprising, then I woke up with a shock. I was who I completely am, tan but pale skin, curly hair, and every thing but that was not the thing that surprises me in front of the bed was a woman, she was wearing dress that looked a bit like a women's night dress but it is blue, she was wearing a cloak made out of goat skin, and she has the features of a mother, the more surprising part was that she was staring at me with discus, how in Gods name did she came in with out alerting the guards?
"Do you think it's wise to look up in your descendants future Prince Carter Le Hard? You have other thing to worry about."
She scared the soul out of me, she knows my name and every thing, but why did she know me, and more importantly who does she think she is?"
"Who are you, how did you get past the guards, and how do you know my name?"
"I am Juno, goddess of marriage and family, and I came here because you just let the fates to show what your descendants will do, but we will be merciful to you and your family but I will watch you and your family."
"Are you going to spy on us?"
"No Carter but I will have an Eye on you and I I were you I would close your eyes for a moment."
I took her advice and looked away then there was a big light, next thing that happened it died and I turned around and Juno isn't there any more, but what she told me about watching me that was very scary, I don't know what she talked about but it was completely questioning but I don't want to know about it.
The next day was the ceremony that Sophia and I will become Assassins, before we go in we took a vial and we drank from it and now will go in,we walked in and at the end of the chapel at the middle is our mentor and Louise, standing next to a brazier with an iron tong that blacksmiths use to grab at metal blades and other stuff that he makes, we walked up to the mentor and he started to speak.
"Carter and Sophia Le Hard, the wisdom of our creed is revealed through these words, we work in the dark, to serve the light, we are assassins, nothing is true, everything is permitted."
He branded us with the mark of the assassins, if it weren't for the potions that we took the brand would have hurt allot, but we aren't just nobles any more we are assassins, ready for anything at any time.
(out of the animus) Nico's POV
I went on a stop at a gas station for some provisions, I took whatever I can buy and I just though of what Percy did trying to save my but from many enemies of Olympus, he has been a like father to me always worrying about what I may do for choices but now he's a father him self, his daughter Celeste is a cute child even when she was born she has a beautiful face, when she grew she start to have her mothers image but she has her fathers eyes, she was a playful young kid and very energetic, I wonder how she now since her father got captured, I had an iris message from Annabeth and she was full of worry and fear, I told her that I will do anything to save Percy although I haven't told her that Percy is blooded to a creed but still it gives me the creeps the features on her, she had given me the Athena stare which was very scary, but I still gotta save Percy from the new enemy that we were facing.
As I was getting stuff Octavian's numskulls showed up, they start to look at me and drew batons and knives, luckily I bought sheathed dagger that is about 14 inches long and 2 switchblades whose blades are designed to hold it in the over hand way, I have been taught by Annabeth to use knife, I learned to use it in the underhand and overhand way, but as I walked out they start to go after me.
"Ok young man you have witnessed us kidnapping your friend so we have to take you with us."
"Over my dead body man, your dead meat to me."
"We'll young man you seem to make a rough choice."
The took the weapons out and I drew my dagger and one of the switchblades, I couldn't use my Stygian iron sword because it only works on Monsters, Gods, Titans, Giants, and spartuses, the first guy took his first stroke at me and dodge it easily and I took some slashes and stabs, every time we made a stop on there will be a tension, the next move I made I took his blade hand and then I start to get my dagger into his eye, there was a straining moment there cause he was holding my arm and he was strong but I was strong enough to get my blade into his eye, he let out a scream that made me want to cover my ears, he sounded like a girl when he screamed but at leased I sliced his neck open, the next guy came to me and started swinging his batons at me. It took 10 minutes to take them all down but I want to know what they will do with Percy so I took one and wound him so he couldn't move.
"What will you do with Percy asshole?"
Next time I will say a word like that I will wash my own mouth with soap.
"Ah the descendant of Prince Carter Le Hard. We only wanted to know if he really is the descendant of the prince, and we would like to know how Le Hard took us out many years ago."
"You will not take him out man, no way you will kill him."
"Oh we will, we will have our vengeance on him and every member of his family till there are no more."
"No way you will do that, mortals will find it hard to take down a demigod like me and Percy, and I will hope that you and your comrades will suffer in the fields punishment."
I took one big thrust in his heart and his soul went out of his body and died, I must not waste time now, I must save Percy in any means I can do, no way that he must die, he must live a life and be a good father to his daughter and and a good husband to Annabeth, but he must propose first in order to marry her so I will do any thing I can to get Percy out of the hands of Octavian.
