Chapter 16: Celebration!

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

We landed into the haystacks, our landings at the same time. We emerged from the haystacks to find dead bodies and guns fall from the roof. Smoothly done. "We going to Las Pegasus?" I asked, getting the hay out of my outfit and mane. "I've always wanted to see what the city was like there."

"Yeah we might as well, we have Assassins getting completely slaughtered there. They need our assistance." Xerxes said. "Of course if that's fine with the rest of you." We all nodded at this.

After a straight hour of finding more Assassins or Templars we've met up in a small alleyway.

"I didn't manage to find any Assassins nor Templars, they all seem to have fled." I said, and this was true, for the streets were completely empty of Templars or Assassins. They really must have fled.

"I found one but that's about it, any luck with either one of you?" Kyros said, directing his words to Xerxes and Marnix. They both shook their heads. "Then we move to Las Pegasus tonight. But today? We celebrate!" We all cheered at this.

After walking around, we found a small bar, which seemed to provide a lot of wine and liquor.  We went in and ordered a full glass of white wine. My friends and I were plentiful in money and we couldn't see why we could not spend it on some quality wine. We took off our hoods and took a fresh breath of air.

"Our accomplishments definitely requires a toast. What shall we toast to?" I asked, happy for our success. It's been a long time since I could finally take a day off. Being chased by Templars or Assassins doesn't exactly give you a time off.

"To being the best of friends, and Assassins of course." Marnix said, but keeping his voice low for the Assassins part.

"Cheers!" we all said and clinked our glasses together in the middle of the table as we all drank our drinks. The glass came close to my mouth and I could smell the nice aroma emitting from it. As I drank a sip, I could taste a small amount of vanilla in the wine along with a faint amount of grapes in it too. The wine went down my throat with a small tingle going down with it.

"That's the stuff, it's been quite a long time since I was able to drink." I said, feeling a bit dizzy. I don't remember being so weak against a drink. I can't be drunk quite yet. Regaining my composure, I concentrated on fighting the drink and not letting myself go.

"I think that's enough for me." I said with a small smile. The group laughed at this, being an Assassin, most would think that I could take more than a small glass of whiskey.

"I'm going to drink some more, that hit the spot but I don't feel that strange satisfaction from drinking yet." Xerxes said, waving over a  bartender to order some more drinks.

Kyros and Xerxes had a small glass of whiskey. While Marnix ordered a glass of alcohol. I shook my head at the sight at this, but it was not a motion of disappointment.

I watched them drink as I used my Eagle Vision to scan around the area for potential threats. The city is truly clear. I can't believe it. But then again, what would you expect from corrupted Assassins and Templars.

"Ray, you alright? You started to stare into the distance and into the ceiling for some reason." Kyros asked me, with a grin on his face. "Eagle Vision?" I nodded. "Seriously Ray, relax, you don't have to be so vigilant, we aren't defenseless bystanders. You don't have to worry." Xerxes said, offering me a small glass of whiskey. I smiled and took the whiskey.

The drink went down my throat easily and left a small burning sensation behind. I sighed and smiled. These are going to be times that I maybe can truly relax. I looked outside, the day was still young, maybe we can finally loosen up.

"Let's go for a run, it's been a long time since I've done such a thing." I suggested, stretching my legs. The group stood up and opened a window, each jumping out to a rooftop. I smiled and ran towards the window, jumping onto a rooftop with Kyros.

We ran around Canterlot, the citizens below watching in awe as we fluently jumped from clothes hangers to roof edges, and so on. We ran for about an hour until we finally stopped in exhaustion.

We stopped by a river and splashed water on ourselves. The cold water was pleasing and shocking at the same time.

"That feels nice doesn't it?" Xerxes asked. "That was a mighty nice run, I wish we times like this all the time." Don't we all?
