The Assassin's Creed

Not long after I went unconscious I regained consciousness and felt myself being falling. I grabbed a rock on my descent, desperate for some way to escape. A huge splash of water made my hoof slip off the rock and I felt myself go fall. I quickly used my rope darts and threw it up to the surface. I heard my rope dart enter the stone at the top of the waterfall.

I quickly wrapped my hind legs around the rope dart and started climbing up. After what seemed like an eternity, I was back up to the surface. The scenery that unfolded almost made me wish that I stayed down though.

There were Royal Guards getting killed by Assassins around me. I tried my best to save the Royal Guards but there were Brutes and Specialists. Seems like the Creed has sent out the cavalry.

Why didn't I even try to stop them, why did I let friendship get the better of me? I should have focused on them more. My chest filled with despair as innocent ponies died and I couldn't stop it from happening.

I ran away from the scene, the weight in my chest growing continuously. I ran towards the rooftops, now that the Creed has sent out their best, I cannot stop them. I can only find my friends and once more hope that they weren't dead.

I fell to the ground as when my injuries started hurting. My bones felt like lead. Just shake it off Ray, just be glad you are alive. I kept on running as I saw Assassins killing everypony in sight. What would have caused them to have done this? Why?

My body all of a sudden fell onto the ground and I realized that I was tackled. The Assassin on top of me used their hidden blade and tried to tear my throat out, but I countered this by using my own hidden blades. My arm quickly blocked the incoming strikes of the hidden blades with my own hidden blades by instinct.

I quickly shot one of my hidden blades right through my assailant's head, the blood spewing from their head. I took his body off mine and retrieved my hidden blade.

My body started to fail me after a short sprint to the castle where my friends were captured and held not too long ago. Perhaps the reason for this is because I didn't come back to the brotherhood? It can't be, can it? Is this all happening because of me? I ran the rest of the way to the castle, chaos surrounding me. I kicked open the door to the castle, revealing a grand staircase. I went up the stairs to a room with six thrones, I took cover behind one. Now, since these thrones represent those marks on my friend's flanks.

Never really took an interest in them, but I wonder if they do anything. All of a sudden I heard some voices and I listened very closely and tried to determine the location of the Assassins. I may have been trying too hard because I heard a sudden gasp awfully near me and I quickly lunged at the direction of the gasp, skewering a Specialist's throat. Let my guard down for just a moment...

I put the body slowly down as I went back into cover behind a throne. Since Princess Twilight resides in Ponyville I can only determine that this is her castle. I took a risk and whistled, attracting a Brute's attention. Unlucky.

The Brute came close enough for execution as I jumped towards him, wrapped my arm around his neck and swung around onto his back. I broke his neck and an instant death to the Brute was rewarded to me.

I sighed and slumped back in my cover, hoping that nopony sees the body. Hmm... the Brute surprisingly is my size... Maybe the Assassins will think I'm dead. It was worth a shot. I dragged the body behind the throne, hoping that the sound of metal sliding across ground

I took off my outfit and took off the Brute's armor which was not easy. After some time, right after I put on the armor, one of the Assassins shouted for me. I swung the Brute's axe into the original Brute's body, which I put my outfit on him.

"I got the Assassin! He's dead!" I shouted. Two assassins stormed over to me and I showed them the body. "My lord, you DID get him, how did you do it?" one of them asked. "I was lucky and caught him off guard, one axe to the body was all I needed." I said.

"We'll go tell Grandmaster of what has finally happened." the other said. Grandmaster? When the two Assassins left I took off the Brute's armor and put on my outfit. This was a big risk but if I get detected in the Brute's armor I do not have a chance. I am not trained to fight with such armor and an axe.

Sighing, I went outside and quickly into the rooftops. Just to find new waves of enemies approaching. Great, as if I didn't already have enough things to do. But the next thing that happened shocked me, within those enemies, I spotted three Specialists all of a sudden killing their own teammates, their guns firing and hidden blades entering throats.

Are they on my side?
