It is midnight in Sicily. Enzo is traveling on horseback to Sicily by order of Ezio Auditore to establish an Assassin's base and to recruit new assassin's to fight the growing templar threat. As he draws closer to the city he notices a light up ahead. 2 templar guards are ahead holding lanterns. "Oh shit" Enzo quietly says to himself. He knew he was in trouble as he has an assassin's brother crest on his belt. But in the slight hopes that nothing would happen he pulls the reigns on his horse and slows down as the guards pull to the side so that they may speak to Enzo. "What is you're business coming this way stranger?" the one guard says sternly. Enzo smiles calmly and says "I was hoping to come to Sicily to find work and a new home. Firenze didn't treat me well." The guards looked each other in disbelief. Then the other guard says "You traveled all the way from Firenze?". Ezno nods and says "Ci, plus I heard the bella's in Sicily are much prettier and more open if you know what I mean" as he grinned playfully. The guards chuckle a little then one said "So would those women include assassin women?". "Why would I want a woman who would I want a woman who'd hold a knife to my throat?" Enzo says chuckling. "Enough games, off the horse now." said the guard as both put their hands on their sword handles. Looking to not cause a stir he complied. "What is this about?" Enzo says trying to sound confused. One guard draws his sword and points it at Enzo's belt buckle. "This is the symbol of the Assassin's. Why do you have it?" He asks starting to sound angry. Quickly thinking Enzo put's his hands up and says "I found it a while back. A fellow was running as some city guards were chasing him and he dropped it and I picked it up." The other guard draws his sword and points it at Enzo's throat and says "You lie. You are an assassin." Before he can say anything the first guard says "You die here assassin." As adrenalin fills his body Enzo flicks his hands drawing his hidden blades and ducks down as the guards simultaneously swing their swords at Enzo. Enzo slices both of their legs as he gets back up and buries both of his blades in each of their necks while at the same time pushing them to the ground. He kneels down next to their bodies and closes both of their eyes and softly says "Requiescat en pace". Just as he is about to get back on his horse he hears another guard call out "ASSASSIN! ASSASSIN! HE'S KILLED DUCIO AND LORENZO!" Soon followed by the sound of a bell ringing to alert more guards. "Shit" Enzo says to himself as he climbs onto his horse and kicks it's sides and yells out "HYA" and the horse takes off.

A lone man ran through the woods, a small group of strangers on his tail. For some reason, they want to kill him. Why? Asher didn't know; he did nothing to those people. He didn't even meet them until now! What made the fear inside Asher grow was that these people loved to kill. They stopped at nothing to get to Asher, not even a large crowd (which was somehow decimated by a mysterious explosion). Asher huffed. He needed to rest, but he can't. They're closing in on him.

Suddenly, one of the dropped down from a tree branch right in front of Asher, a sardonic smile stretched across his face and a bloody sword in his hand. Asher skidded to a stop, and landed on his butt. The stranger raised the sword, but he found himself sliced in half. Asher somehow drew a sword hidden in his personage in a flash. "But... I don't even know how to use a sw-" Asher muttered to himself, staring at his hand until he heard chants coming from behind him. Oh no... They're going to kill me! Asher mentally panicked. He started running again, faster than he ever could. This was strange. Even with adrenaline running through him, Asher couldn't have run that fast. No where near this speed.

However, the attempt was still in vain, because the whole group surrounded the poor boy. They all had various weapons drawn, all of them still stained with fresh blood. Asher drew his sword, praying and hoping that he would get in another lucky kill. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. When he opened them, every one of them were in flames. His hand was also burned, but only a little burnmark showed. The hand didn't even hurt as well. "What the...?" Asher stared at his hand again. That was the third time that happened this month. What's happening?

Enzo had just started to think that he had outrun the templar guards until heard the very distinct sound of horse chainmail quickly approaching. "This isn't good" Enzo said to himself. Then almost immediately Enzo's horse collapsed throwing him off violently. Enzo grabbed his head slowly bringing himself up and saw that his horse had multiple crossbow bolts plunged in it's body. Just then the horseback guards surrounded him all aiming their crossbows at the lone assassin as he stood up slowly taking a fight ready stance. "You're finished assassin. Are you going to come quietly or do we end you here and now?" One guard said confidently. Enzo looked around and noticed a light in the distance and his instincts told him to go their, but he first had to get past these buffoons. Bring it Enzo said smirking as he flicked his wrists drawing his hidden blades. "FIRE" the guard captain shouted. Then as if slowly down time itself Enzo was able to dodge all the incoming bolts while at the same time dodging in between the 2 horseback guards that stood between him and whatever lied ahead. As Enzo drew closer he noticed a younger man sitting on the ground Enzo thought to himself "shit it's just a useless kid" Just as he was about to approach the younger man Enzo felt a sharp pain unlike anything he had ever felt explode in his left shoulder blade and he fell skidding a little past the younger man

Asher looked behind him to see another man. He walked to the stranger, a sword up in defense. "W-who are you?" Asher asked. He was still shaken up from the experince a couple of minutes ago. Then, Asher saw what appeared to be a crossbow bolt stuck in the left shoulder. "Oh God! Are you okay?" Asher sheathed his sword knelt down to examine the wound before the man could respond.

It was in pretty deep. Blood was soaking the white robe the man was wearing, and it started to spread. "Do you want me to remove the bolt?"

Enzo looked up struggling his vision starting to get blurry and said in a weakened voice "get out of here...templars..." and then collapsed back onto the ground unconscious. "There's another assassin!" One guard shouted as they drew closer "Kill them both."

Asher shook the stranger, telling him to wake up. "There's another assassin!" Someone shouted. "Kill them both!" Asher turned around to see even more strangers. Asher counted 5 on horseback. "Oh... Crap..." Asher's eyes widened with fear. Why me? Why not some other unfortunate guy?! The robed boy thought as he unsheathed his sword (rather sloppily) and held it up in a fighting stance. The guards laughed at the boy's attempt in bravado, then aimed their crossbows at him. They fired.

However, something snapped inside Asher. His blue eyes glowed, and Asher swings his sword to hit the arrows with the blunt side of the blade. Then, Asher quickly ran up to the nearest person, and placed a tag on the person. Asher kicked the man back into another one and let the tag detonate, freezing them. Asher then took his sword and ran to another person. He slashed at the horse, causing a large cut. It started to run wild and knocked the rider off. Asher faced the last two, drawing out two tags. Asher threw them, and two explosions occured withdifferent results. One caused the riders to be blind, the other one knocking them off their horses. "Weaklings..." Asher muttered out of person, then went to the injured stranger from before.

Without asking any questions and looking like he knew what he was doing, Asher placed his hand on the man's wound and removed the arrow in the other. Before the blood could piur out, the wound closed instantly. Asher then passed out withotu warning.

Enzo awoke a few days later in a bed inside of a stable like building. He tried to sit up but felt a shooting pain where he had been shot. "where the hell am I? how did I get away from those men? But more importantly where the hell are my robes?" Enzo said to himself noticing his shirt and robes were off of him. Enzo then quickly felt his wrists and then shouted out "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY BLADES!?!?!?!" starting to panic

Lucian walked around the house. God damnit, Asher... What have you gotten yourself into, now? He thought. Lucian had found Asher unconscious in the middle of the woods, along with some guy in a white robe. Lucian confiscated his weapons in case the man woke up and attacked Lucian.

Lucian's thoughts were interupted by yelling upstairs. "That's not Asher.... That's probably that other guy..." Lucian mumbled to himself, then walked up the stairs. He slammed the door open and, with glowing red eyes, yelled at the man. "WOULD YOU STOP YELLING?!"

Meanwhile, Asher is still unconcsious in the other side of the room. However, his sleep was not broken from the yelling.

Enzo jumped as he forced himself up seeing an angry man staring at him. "Who the hell are you and where the hell am I!? And what did you do to that guy...and WHERE are my weapons?" Enzo said trying to force a fighting stance hoping to not show he was in no shape to fight.

"I put them downstairs in the living room." Lucian responded. "Now stop trying to intimidate me. You don't know how well I am at fighting. I found you and that kid sleeping over there unconcsious in the forest. Be lucky I didn't give you to any enemies." Lucian's blood red eyes showed he was serious. "If you want to test my patience now, go ahead. You'll find yourself stripped down to your underwear and outside this house in a second."

Finally, Asher woke up. "Huh? What happened?" He wondered out loud. Then he realized that he blacked out again. He sighed, then stood up. He walked forward, then stopped as he saw a tall and large figure blocked his way. "uhhhhhh...." was all Asher could say in his shock.

Enzo started to relax a little but still didn't take his eyes off of Lucian. "Why did you save us?" Enzo said in a slightly more relaxed tone but was fighting back some pain

"Because of the one you were with." Lucian responded, pointing to Asher, who was behind the man. "Anyway, be lucky I'm letting you stay here a while. I am not one to do this kind of act, so be grateful." Lucian turned to leave, then added "If you leave with him, you better take care of the boy." Then left the room.

Asher leaned to the side to see Lucian, and wondered why he looked like Asher himself. Asher shrugged at the thought, then asked "Who was that?"

Enzo's stance relaxed a bit as he slowly sat down on the bed still in pain. "I don't know. I was hoping you'd be able to tell me that... Who are you by the way." Enzo said in an obviously injured voice

"Oh.. My name is Asher." Asher responded with a smile. "And you are?"

Lucian walked around the base-floor of the house, wondering what he should do with the two guests again, but mainly the agressive one. "Damn... What to d-" There was a knock on the door. Lucian walked to the door and opened it. There were 5 men, all with weapons. "We are looking for a man in a white robe and with hidden blades. Have you seen him?" The stranger asked. Unbeknowest to Lucian, these people were Templars, and they saw the hidden blades on the table, as well as a bloody arrow. "No. Now get the fuck out before I burn you all to crisp." Lucian coldly replied, and slammed the door.

Enzo was about to speak but his heightened senses could tell something was wrong as he got up again. Before Lucian could ask him what was wrong Enzo said "Something is very wrong. I need to go see what's going on" as he walked downstairs as best he could

(btw welcome to the new character)

When Enzo Reached the bottom of the stairs and managed to open the door he saw a Female 5 Ft 4 with tattered clothing just barley managing to defend herself from the as what she saw as guards Sword's. Lucian Reached the bottom of the stairs hearing swords clashing thinking that Enzo was being attacked but came down to see that Enzo stood in the doorway watching this 3 vs 1 fight against the girl. When he saw that Enzo stood in the doorway he peered around him to see this girl in tattered clothing fighting off three of the guards from earlier and rushed in unsheathing his sword and stabbing one in the back for a killing blow. The other Templar's noticed and changed there attention to Him " YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT YOU DIR- " The Templar was cut off and disarmed held with the blade to his neck by the girl Smirking to the other Templar who just turned to see this sight " Die " The woman whispered to the Templar she had the blade to as she slit his throat and threw the body forward as a shield at the Last standing Templar. And She then started limping away from the Horrific blood bath with a cut running down her back and the sword implanted in the ground from where she threw the body at the Templar from Leaving that last Templar for Lucian.

Enzo instinctively ran for his short sword so he could join in on the fight but felt the crippling pain in his should again and stumbled to the ground "Shit this is bad" Enzo thought.

"Save your Energy for something worth your time! " The female said as Lucian Noticed the tattering was created by swords and blades of all sorts. "And you the other one...Mind your own business!" She barked not turning to look at them still limping away. " If you ever Interfere in one of my fights AGAIN...I wont hesitate to consider you an Enemy "

(Um... Cookieraider, no offense but I don't like how you God-modded Lucian. Don't change evens that already happened or control other people's characters, please. You can as to the event, but not make a major change.)

Lucian glared at the girl. "And where the hell do you think you're going, missy?" Lucian said as he walked to the girl. Without glancing in another direction, Lucian sent a bolt of lightning into the last Templar on the ground. "First off, you started a fight on MY property, second you're injured, and third you have the nerve to walk away from me..." Lucian's tone was cold.

Suddenly, Asher stepped outside. "What's going on?" He asked.

(Sorry about that It wont happen again everyone. )

The girl didn't stop limping away " Nothing I was just leaving " The girl shouted back to Asher " First off I didn't start it they were treating me like a was there pet. Second I'm fine. And third "* Annie lets out a grunt of pain * " Walk away?From you? No Just limp away from here. " She said calmly as if nothing had just happened."

Enzo got up slowly feeling the pain in his shoulder acting up and held up his right arm to stop the 2 from fighting "please, nothing good will come of arguing" He turned to the girl and said "won't you please come back. you're hurt" as he leaned onto the table that had his weapons.

Lucian sighed as Asher heard everything. Great... Even more to sacrifice... He thought, then said "Fine... You're welcome to stay in my place." then turned to walk back inside.

Asher, being pitifully ignorant of Lucian, asked "What's wrong with him?" Then walked over to the girl. "Are you okay, miss? Do you want me to help you inside?"

Enzo sat down. He could feel his wounds opening up again. "I'm never going to get to Sicily in this condition" Enzo thought to himself
