The Assassin's Creed

I threw a smoke bomb into the crowd of Templars and Assassins, making them cough many times. It allowed me and my friends to assassinate them all quickly. Within a few seconds when the smoke cleared up, there were just a few Templars left. We all drew our swords and engaged in combat. Me taking the first Templar, I used my empty hoof and did a 360, sweeping the Templar's legs and when I completed the 360, I drew my sword back and brought it on the fallen Templar. My sword entered the Templar's throat with ease.

He let out a horrible gurgling sound as he died. I shot two hidden blades into a pair of Templars, killing them. I ran towards the last Templar, bucked his front hooves, and used my hidden blades to finish the job. I retrieved the two hidden blades from the Templars as I looked up to find six shocked mares. Oh no.

I ran off at incredible speed, climbing to the rooftops and to the high buildings. A smoke bomb will do very nicely. I threw a smoke bomb down on the rooftops, and made my way down, assassinating two unsuspecting Templars.

It only made sense that I stuck to the rooftops but that's the reason why I went to the ground, it was the illogical way to go. After running for a few minutes, with my Assassin friends following me, I looked back to find emptiness.

"What was that?" Marnix asked me. "Who were those mares? Why were you running from them?" Kyros added. "It would probably also helped if you warned us even in the slightest bit." Xerxes said.

"Those mares, they were my old friends. After I was pronounced dead, I left them. If I came back and stuck with them, they would have died like my family did. My life became more dangerous and if ponies found out that they knew me, they would interrogate them with the most painful of methods. Just to get information about me. So I left them and hoped to be forgotten. But it seems that is a wish that will never come true." I said.

"We all know exactly how you feel, your pain is actually a minor pain compared to all of ours. We all lost our families too but our friends, the minute we met them, the next day they were gone." Xerxes said. They all nodded. I let out a breath, hoping that this will never come true for my old friends. But it will one day, I'm just hoping that that time isn't now.

"Well, we've brought down City Hall, now what?" I asked. "Do we go for another city or cleanse this one of Templars and Assassins? I prefer the latter." I thought of how we could possibly get rid of all Templars and Assassins in this city.

"It is better to finish one job than leave it unfinished." Marnix said. "So today will be the day we start to take out little problems from Ponyville. We'll move on to bigger places like Canterlot, or Las Pegasus. But for this day... we will eliminate the threats that has caused this city to become like this." We all nodded to that.

The past few hours have just been me having a lot work, to stealth kill Templars or Assassins is a lot of work, along with hiding the body. It was not like I had anything else to do though. It was like therapy to me, killing those who could have had a part in the killing of my family and the threat to my friends.

I so far have been doing well, staying undetected. These Templars and Assassins really don't expect anypony that will oppose them do they? No I wouldn't think so. I have been taking out Assassins or Templars one by one, slowly cleansing the streets of Ponyville.

It had gotten a bit boring but I convinced myself that it was good practice for myself. My emotions taking control over me eventually, I decided to just not stealth it. There were a group of Assassins which I would have normally threw a smoke bomb, but there was no fun in that right?

What I did do though, was from a rooftop, bring down my dual swords on two Assassins. After counting them I saw that there were four, then eight, then ten. I was shocked, they were hiding, waiting for me to strike. This may have been the biggest mistake of my career.

I shot two hidden blades into two Assassins, one striking the head and another striking the chest. I ran towards an Assassin swinging their sword at my throat and slid under their sword. When I turned, I found a back turned to me as I used my swords and did two slashes in the back.

As another Assassin lunged at me with their sword, I used my dual swords to make that sword go into the ground, making it stuck. I thrust my swords into the Assassin's throat, killing him.

Then the Assassins realized that I was not easy prey. They all now stood on hind legs. What they don't know, is that I may have the upper hand now. I got up on my hind legs as two Assassins lunged at me with their swords, I used my hoof and pulled their arm closer to me. Their body went forward and into the other lunging Assassin, who was shocked in this.

I aimed my very careful shot and shot through both their necks, along with a bonus Assassin behind them. Simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. I went for the offensive now, using my legs to sweep an Assassin off their feet and used my two swords to slice their chest along with their throat.

Assassins usually like to attack from the back and that's just one mistake that this Assassin did. As he attempted to cut the back of my throat, I used the metal in the hidden blade to fully block this attack. The outfit was a bit ripped though. I used my hidden blades and skewered his throat. I put away my swords and drew the late Assassin's gun, firing it into the crowd of Assassins.

After this, I counted them and found that eleven Assassins were still left. But immediately after counting them I saw three more Assassins jump down. I would be worried about more reinforcements. But I threw a smoke bomb into the crowd of Assassins and the three that jumped down made quick work of them.

Always good to have friends and allies.
