Ezio looks upon Karel " brother , what happened ? "
Karel remains silent for a short time before he spoke " La Volpe reported to us about some suspicious activity regarding the Templars about the artifact shortly after being assigned as the den leader. which turns out to be a trap set by the guards under the command of the Borgia , but that is not all I herd that they are also taking orders from someone higher up and is the cause of the plague and the reason why this city is in ruins when you got here. "
" the other assassins assigned here wanted to go but I stopped them suspecting something is amiss , so i went in their stead and told them if something happen to me they are to return to the halls of justice and abandon this location "
Karel's voice trails off a bit and he tries to speak again " Please... Ezio finish what. "
Ezio knew what Karel meant " No , you should not be talking get some sleep we will have plenty of time after "
Ezio tells the others to watch over their den master thinking to himself ( " Karel is in no condition to fight or lead the den at this time , I will finish what he started. " )
Turning to Karel's group " Brother... Sisters... The Borgia had made a mockery of our creed and injured your master , now lets show them what it means to cross the assassins. "
" but Mentor what about Karel ? "
" There is no need to worry I have taken care of that , we don't need a big group for this about six of us will do , as for the rest of you take care of your den master. "
Ezio uncovers a much darker plot while working with Karel's group , discovering several Templars behind the current crisis Lady Aribeth , Fenthick , Desther and members of a cult the Maugrim Korothir also known as the people of the eye. Ezio shouts at Lady Aribeth a paladin of the order of tyr and Fenthick since they had worked together several years ago , and is now met with a statement that chills even him.
" I have seen the light " said Lady Aribeth ,
" where she goes I will follow " replied Fenthick
Desther then pulls out an Apple of Eden , then one of Karel's men taps on Ezio's shoulder " they are not templars , the paladin and Fenthick are being controlled can we set them free from control ? "
" Desther drop the apple , you are playing with stuff you do not understand , the apple it will corrupt you..."
" corrupt me ? , no this world needs order... people need to be told what to do or else it will lead to chaos. "
Ezio pleads with Desther but is proved to be in vain which leads Ezio with one other option to kill Desther but right now he cannot do it out of risk that the others will also be exposed to the effects of the Piece of Eden so he withdraws.
" You win this time but next time I will be back "
Ezio then begins to plan Desther's death back at the halls of justice. The thought of Karel kept creeping into his mind, he then shakes his head " no he has been through enough already , I will finish what he started besides he is in no condition to do anything. "
Back at the assassin's den at Beggar's Nest Karel awakens , he attempts to get out of bed when his strength gave way and fell to the ground with a thud alerting the other assassins in the den who immediately went to his side.
" master , are you ok ? "
Karel had been one of the most respected and feared Assassins in this time like Altair years ago and Ezio the Sword Coast's Assassin brotherhood mentor. But now he felt weak and powerless. Thinking to himself was this all a mistake ?... He to now has a great hate for the city guards and city watch and doubts himself.
Karel then reaches for his brother's sword drawing it out of its holder hitting one of them in the arm. His assassin brother named , Seth , calls out to Karel " master , whats wrong ? " while holding the wound and taken by surprise by Karel's sudden act of aggression and remaining silent at the same time. Seth then holds his hands up " Karel we are not going to hurt you now put the blade down "
Lazlo then runs into the room when he herd shouting between two of the brotherhood members. Lazlo and Seth were Karel's students under the assassin den in the Beggar's Nest at the city of Neverwinter a member of the Sword Coast Assassins. " Seth , Master Karel ... Whats going on here ? "
" the den master Karel , he is not himself he is going to hurt himself if this continues and has not fully recovered from his injuries. "
Lazlo then sighs " the Mentor will have our hides if something happened to the den master , do what you can to restrain him and I will look for Ezio. "
Lazlo again rushes to the Core district to find Ezio , while Seth tries again to pacify Karel to little effect. Karel ounce again charges at Seth , normally he would had been able to overpower his brother but this time he failed. Seth takes advantage of this and hits Karel in the back of his head hard with the hilt of his sword knocking him out , then returns Karel to the bed.
Ezio then walks in and noticed blood on the ground and also on Seth " what happened ? " he then asks.
" the den master , Kerel . he lashed out at us shortly after awakening and I was forced to knock him out , he also managed to injure me , mentor whats happened to him ? "
" The same thing I had faced which led me to became an Assassin. "
