My Little Creed: Assassination is Magic

CHAPTER 5: Howdy!

Author's Note: Well, I see a lot of comments of Rarity and Ezio being together...Let me tell you guys right now, they're NOT together. I never said they were. All she did was give him a thank you kiss and Ezio was born in a time of chivalry, so he kindly kissed her hoof. I never said they were together, it's just a strong possibility. Also, WHOOO. I’M BACK TO THIS FIC! WHO’S HAPPY?

'This is great! I thought it would be annoying with a lot of people here; but this is one of the best parties I've ever had!' Ezio smiled as he walked around the mansion, introducing himself to the ponies of Ponyville. He shared a good laugh between him and a few of the ponies, and he even taught some to speak a little Italian. Mainly one or two words like grazie or madonna.

He was introduced to everyone and was fairly liked by the residence. If they could get used to Jace, then they could get used to a pony that had a funny accent and wore strange clothes. The residence got used to seeing Jace walk around with a hood most of the time, so they weren't all that bothered when Ezio wore it.

Ezio looked around the room after being introduced and didn't see Jace anywhere. He asked around but no one said they saw him at all. He started to get curious, but let it slide since people were starting to dance to the music being made by the woman of the house.

As he moved to the beat and watched some ponies start dancing with each other, he noticed Black Gold walking upstairs. Ezio narrowed his eyes and moved through the sea of ponies, careful not to disturb anyone. He walked up the stairs and tailed Black Gold into Jace's room.

“I told you to come home an hour ago Gold..”

“Hey! It's not my fucking fault that you only let me out once a month to go see my daughter and say hi to everyone! If it didn't have to recharge my batteries after two days of being out of your mind, I would be out forever!”

A audible sigh could be heard from Jace. “I'm sorry...I know how hard it is for you to be with your daughter...Aksheal is still working on trying to lengthen your time out of my mind but it's hard to do! He can do it because he's a god, and has the power. I WANT you to be happy Gold! You're part of me, and you're probably the best part of me! You've been around for as long as I have and since the day you came to be, I've been happy when you came out. After Coal died..” Another sigh. “You were really my best friend. Zeke is my teacher but, he's not a friend that you can share things with. He's Death! He doesn't want to hear about my problems...”

“I'm sorry I snapped at you Jace...It pisses me off that I can't see my daughter for more than two days! It also makes me mad that I have to lie and say that I did something for Princess Celestia and she granted me eternal life! I don't want to lie to Mocha...” 'Mocha?! Black Gold is her father?! What is this nonsense?! This doesn't make any sense! It makes just as much sense with me and Desmond! I still don't know who he is...'

“I know...But Mocha wouldn't understand...She would think you're crazy!” Ezio was leaning in to hear but he lost his balance after a while and fell forward, making some sound. “What was that?” The sound of footsteps could be heard as Jace went to go check it out. He poked his head out the door and looked around, seeing nothing. “Must have been my imagination..”

Ezio let out a sigh as Jace went back into the room. He jumped down from the ceiling he clung too with his wristblades and ran off back to the party. He let his mind wander after getting back into the crowd of ponies. 'Letting him out of his mind? What in the hell does that mean?! Who is this Aksheal that I heard about? Another god like Minerva? I need a drink..'

He made his way over to the bar that was being run by a pony in a nice suit. “Ah! The man of the hour has come for a drink! What can I get you today?”

“Get me something strong...” He sighed and rubbed on his temples a bit, trying to make sense of what he just heard.

“Ah'll have what he's havin'..” Ezio raised his head and looked to his right. An orange mare wearing a hat was sitting next to him, looking quite sad.

“I haven't seen you here before...Did you just arrive madonna?” The bartender passed him his drink. “Grazie.” He took a sip of his drink just as the mare got her drink.

“Thank ya...Well, yeah Ah just got here...Ah had ta be at mah husband's funeral today..” She took a drink of her drink. “He was a great man...Did many things fer our world...Ah'm certain you know his friend...Jace..”

“I do...” He took a sip of his drink. “What was the name of your husband if you don't mind me asking..”

“Coal...Coal Buck...Great man..” She sighed and looked over at him. The two locked eyes for a minute and stayed like that for about a minute before their eyes moved from each other. The blushing was noticeable on both of the ponies. Ezio coughed and rubbed the back of his neck.

“Erm...Well...I have no doubt he was a good pony-”

“Human...” Ezio quickly turned to look at her.

“Human?! I thought Jace was the only human.” The mare shook her head.

“Naw...Well, he's the only human here now anyways...Ah miss that boy ta no end. He was the greatest thing that ever happened ta me...” She looked down and then back up at him. “Names Applejack by the way...Howdy stranger..” She tipped her hat to him.

“Ezio Auditore..” He reached out his hoof for a shake and Applejack shook his hoof. “It's nice to meet you Applejack...”

“Likewise...Ah'm sorry if Ah'm not all chippery at the moment. Ah really ahm glad Ah met ya Ezio. But Ah won't be mahself until Ah get ovah his death..” Ezio nodded and took another sip of his drink.

“I understand...I had to deal with death as well. I lost my brothers and my father all in one day..” He sighed. “I still remember it like it was yesterday.” Memories played back in his mind like a movie as he watched his father and two brothers being hanged on the gallows.

“That's horrible..Ah'm sorry fer yer loss...” He shook his head.

“Don't worry about it...I've gotten over it long ago..” He looked in his cup and saw that there was still a good bit of alcohol in the glass. He took the glass and put it to his lips, chugging the rest of the contents down and letting out a satisfied sigh. “Well, I better get back to the party...Nice meeting you Applejack..”

“Likewise..” Ezio moved away from the bar, getting back into the crowd of ponies and enjoying himself. That mare still lingered in his mind. She was so sad, and looked so helpless. He wanted to do something for her, but what?! All he could tell her was that things were going to be alright, but he didn't know if they would be for her or not. He pondered this until the party died down and ponies started to go home.

After wishing ponies safe travels on their way home, Ezio retired to his room. He threw off his robes and hopped onto his bed, staring at the remote to his TV curiously. He tested a button and the TV turned on. Satisfied with figuring this out, he got under his covers and watched Mare Grylls adventure through the toughest terrains known to man.

As he watched, he let his mind wander to the events that happened that day. Saving Rarity, meeting Black Gold, having the party, the discovery of Black Gold being part of Jace, Applejack losing her husband, and everything in between. His thought his new life would be less chaotic, but it was far from it from what he could tell.

“Maybe some sleep will calm my nerves..” He thought outloud as Mare Grylls made her way through the Hoofrican Rain Forest. He watched until the show was over and clicked the TV off, getting down into his sheets and laying his head on the pillow.

“I just want tomorrow...To be a normal day...” He closed his eyes with that final comment, and drifted off to sleep. Too bad a normal day wasn’t on his agenda.

Author’s Note: Really sorry about the lack of updates for this story, everypony! I’ve just had writers block REAL BAD. Like to the point where I couldn’t even write a sentence without having to get someone to hold my hand through it. But, I hope to come back to this! HOPEFULLY!
