A/N: Several suggested Ezio as a perspective character, so I shall try to fit him in. Oh hell, I think each of the player characters might he their moments considering how awesome each of them are in ther own right. Next chapter to come later today!

Chapter 10: Past-...Everything is Permitted

A week passed as Matthew stayed in Arendelle. He was overseeing the construction for the new hideout for the Assassins. Parts of the old one still stood, but most of it was caved in or flooded when Agdar ordered it to be destroyed.

Elsa and Anna were involved heavily with the building itself as well. Anna knew plenty of several secret passageways that could potentially serve as entrances to the hideout. All they had to do be dug through. Those passages were like doors with no rooms to go to.

On the fourth night of Matthew's stay, we ended up in the lounge, where Matthew was teaching the sisters about one of our favorite games, Liar's Dice.

I peeked at my dice. Four of them were all different numbers, but I had one pair of fives.

"So Assassins play this game?" Asked Elsa.

"Aye. Assassins, thieves, pirates. Anyone who breaks a law like a nobleman breaks his bread." Said Matthew. "Many a game have been played with something precious to the players on the line. Mostly gold."

"So why teach us?" Asked Anna. "I mean, I like playing this game. In fact, it's really fun. But I mean, why would you teach us?"

Matthew smirked at me. "She talks a lot. I like her."

Anna beamed as Matthew explained. "We rarely take chances to truly appreciate the fun things in life, Highness. It's the life of an Assassin. Some of us might even argue that all an Assassin gets for his bloody deeds is a life of pain. Ezio himself said that the life of an Assassin is a life of pain. But we get those rare moments to truly have a life instead of one with the hood. Too many of us hide from the chance to enjoy life. I seize every moment just as Asgeir's father, Daniel taught me. It's why I enjoy this game so much. And I trust that since I might be seeing more of you both, Highnesses, we might as well start making some common interests."

Elsa placed her bid. "Asgeir mentioned that the Assassins have been around for a while. How far back are we saying?"

"Oh, god help me." Matthew laughed. "Not a clue. Some say thousands of years, others say since the dawn of the realm, and the craziest of us suggest that the very first people were an Assassin and a Templar. I can't say for sure."

Anna was about to call her bid, when the window flung open. A pigeon flew in and sat on the table in between the four of us.

"Shoo!" Said Elsa, clearly not happy to have this interruption.

"Hey!" I noticed something tied to it's leg. A message. I untied it, and the pigeon flew out the window.

The note read the typical. "We're needed elsewhere, Matthew." I said, handing the note to him.

He nodded as he read it. We both stood up. Matthew bowed to my half-sisters. "Your Highness. Your Majesty. I beg your forgiveness, but it's clear that we need to continue this game some other time. Asgeir and I have urgent business to attend to."

Elsa and Anna stood up as well. "You have my leave." Elsa said. "Here's hoping we won't have to wait long."

Matthew nodded, reaching into his satchel. His hand was clenched around that magic bean when he pulled his hand out. He bolted for the window, and took the leap of faith out.

I nodded to the sisters. "I'll be back soon, girls-oof!"

Both flung their arms around me in a group hug. Elsa grinned as she pulled away.

"It's poor timing, Asgeir. But I wanted to mention this to you."

"Alright?" I asked.

"On my council of advisors, I have a seat for a specialist in scouts. They report all their findings to him, and he in turn presents them to me. The last one who held the position of Spymaster left when he found out about my powers. He refused to advise someone like me, because he detested magic."

Elsa picked up a small pin on the desk beside her. A gold pin in the shape of an eye, with a ruby for it's iris.

I took it from her hand, understanding what she wanted. I fastened it to my collar, then raised my hood. "When I return, I'm at your service." And I leapt out the window, throwing the bean down as I fell through the portal

I am an Assassin. I don't take orders from queens or kings. But I can say that I live two lives now. I live one life as an Assassin who will do anything to protect the innocent of his homeland, and those beyond it. The other life I now live is that of a brother who will also do whatever it takes to protect his family. Elsa may give orders to me, but I would not follow them because I was her servant. I would follow them because I was her blood just as she was mine. "Blood of my blood", as a friend of mine would say to me, years from now.

The Creed is not just a belief of mine. It's my life. It's all I know of life. A part of me, like my heart. There may come a day when it all catches up to me. I'm an old man, still hoping I can fight the right side of this war, and the younger Templar pulls me down. I won't give up, or admit he defeated me when he has me on my knees with a gun to my head. I'll only smile and say those words to him. "Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted."
