The Assassin's Creed

I woke up to the pain of being thrown onto the ground and this reopened my leg's knife wound. I winced at the pain but didn't let out a sound. "Where am I?" I asked to nopony in particular. "You don't need to know where you are, just stay quiet." a voice said. I looked to the direction of the voice and saw a stallion with yellow armor and a blue star on their chests. I quickly recognized them as Royal Guards, as they don't exactly keep a low profile.

That is really not smart, the design is good but if I were to fire right now, I'd know exactly where to shoot and it will kill. Who in the right mind did not think of that?

I got up and realized I had hoof cuffs on my front hooves and my hind hooves. I was stripped of my weapons and my outfit. I used my Eagle Vision to find my items, for you can also select things you want to view, such as swords, guns, you name it.

This isn't good, if my friends didn't get that protection I suggested, things will not be good for them. I have to find some way to escape. Luckily this isn't the first time I've been captured. I started lock picking the lock on my hoof-cuffs. After a minute I heard the satisfying click and carefully let the cuffs down on the ground. Of course, this prison has conveniently placed glass, I am so lucky sometimes.

I punched the glass and shattered it, before it went flying off to who knows where, I grabbed a good large piece of it and hid it with me. I quickly turned my back to the cell bars and took off pieces of the glass, soon transforming from glass to a decent dagger.

"What is going on in here?!" I heard behind me, I turned around and I took their head and slammed it into the bars of the cell. I looked around the body for some keys, weapons or tools. No luck.

I let out a fake surprised yelp and shouted "Guards! Guards! There's a dead or unconscious body here!" I heard not too many footsteps arrive near my cell. Bene. This doesn't need to be difficult. I saw two guards looking at the body, their backs facing me. You guards are in so much trouble.

I extended my hoof around these two guards and pushed them towards the bars of the cell. I put pressure on their throats against the bar doors and soon, both their body weight increased greatly.

I looted one of the guard's body for the key and used many keys to find out which key unlocked my cell. After about a good 15 seconds of doing this, I was allowed to turn the key and unlock the door. I pulled the guards into the cell and had a great idea.

I quickly took off their armor and their sword, hoping that I could fit in at least for the time being. I may not look like any Royal Guards but I think this will work for now.

I took the keys and closed the cell door behind me, locking it. I put the keys in and rushed out. I used my Eagle Vision to find out where I was brought in and I may be able to get out of here.

The problem was that there were too many footsteps for me to see for sure which footsteps were to the guards hauling me in. Come on! COME ON! These guards are the only ones the know where the exit is! Wait a minute... I thought as I attempted to disguise my voice to be deeper.

"Where's the exit again?" I asked myself, making sure it was loud enough so that the stallion next to me could hear me. "Do you not know where the exit is?" he asked.

"No sorry I'm new here, Princess Celestia assigned me here." I said really hoping the fib would work. I know nothing about any new guards or if this is even Princess Celestia's prison.

"Oh you must be the new guy, I'll show you around." he said. "I'll show you all the places of this prison here. It's no trouble really."

"Sorry, but I really need to find the exit, Princess Celestia is requesting me and I don't want to be embarrassing myself by asking her where the exits were. I totally forgot." I said feigning embarrassment.

"Ah, it alright I forget the areas around here, it's huge! It's right over at Gate 3A and when you enter, take a left and go though Gates 2V and 1G." he said. I thanked him and left, keeping mental note on where to turn and which gate to exit from.

I found Gate 3A and entered, took a left and went through Gate 2V. I quickly crouched, hiding most of my movement sound along with visibility. I went through Gate 1G and found a vast room full of Royal Guards. There was one guard facing their back towards me and I looked around and determined I was in the clear.

I lunged at the guard, brought him on his hind legs, put a hoof around their throat and squeezed. In a matter of seconds he was out. I put his body into a small bin and sneaked around the vast area. I climbed up a small ledge on the white pillars that were around to keep the building up and I jumped from pillar to pillar, hopefully not causing too much sound.

I screwed up and slipped on the last pillar I landed on and fell next by a Royal Guard. They were about to shout and I quickly drew my glass dagger and threw it into his throat. My heartbeat settled down afterwards. I quickly sneaked over to his body and removed the glass dagger, becoming an item in my inventory. I had to find my items. I quickly asked a lone guard where the prisoner items are kept, he said over to the armory. I thanked him and left.

I asked another lone guard where the armory was and thanked him and left. I made my way over to the armory to find two Brutes standing in my way. "Sorry Sir, you're not allowed access into the armory." I looked at them, confused as I was truly looking into the armory with the corner of my eye to find if there was anything I could use to dispatch these Brutes quickly.

"Very well..." I looked inside the armory as if there was an intruder, the Brutes took note of this and looked into the armory just to find nothing there and me gone. They at least thought I was gone as I was really just above them. I took a loose part of the ceiling and threw it past a corner. One Brute took note of this and walked towards the rock, his weapon at the ready.

I came down on the Brute at the armory entrance with my glass dagger out and punctured his neck and through his throat. The glass dagger was finally broken and stained with blood. I went into the armory and found my items.

I also found some new items, such as some rope darts and sleeping darts. Very useful. Smoke bombs will be a necessary thing to have. Poison darts? I'd rather not, if I inject myself with this by accident there may not be a cure.

I also found a nice tomahawk and some throwing knives. Surprisingly there were an ample amount of throwing knives, perfect. I took the sleeping dart and as the Brute found the body, he marched his way over to the body and I launched the sleeping dart at him, into his neck and he fell with a loud thud.

"Merda, that may have been all too loud." I muttered to myself. I quickly outfitted myself with my weapons and outfit and head towards the exit. I kept my sleeping darts in my hoof, at the ready. The assassin outfit will surely give me away. The Royal Guard armor is just good armor to have and could give a small chance for me to be undetected.

I reached an exit and threw two sleeping darts into the guards, knocking them out of action for a short period of time. I leaped over their bodies and exited the prison. But a horrifying thing I saw before then? An execution room. I couldn't look away in time to see Lorani's head get skewered by the large blade.

I took a few deep breaths and ran. No no no no no no no...

Oh this day just keeps getting better doesn't it?
