Ezio - Fate lies within

Chapter 3

Ezio Dreamed.

Dreamed He was atop the spire.

He leapt into the air.

And the ground came at him, opening its jaws wide...

Ezio woke up screaming. It was nighttime, and he was in a tree again. Very uncomfortable.

Leaping down from the tree, Ezio twisted expertly in the air, landing on all four hooves. He hadn't lost his touch. He took a step forward, and something crinkled under his hoof. It was a pink envelope, with 3 round objects with strings hanging from them on the cover. Strange, who left this here?

The envelope was addressed: "To The Stranger in the tree."

Ezio listened and looked around, wondering if anyone was there. How did the writer of this letter find him? He opened the envelope, and pulled out the contents, reading them with interest.

"Dear Stranger, you were asleep when I brought this letter to you, so hopefully you find it. At sundown, come to the library. We have a suprise for you!"

Ezio could have sworn that he heard a voice speaking what he read. A very, familiar voice. Looking at the darkening sky, he noticed the sun slowly setting. He better be going. He still had to find out where this, "Library" was. What on Earth was a Library?

Ezio trotted in the direction of town, hoping for the best...

"Hey, where do you think you're-"

The soldier fell to the ground. He didn't even have a chance to defend himself.

Ezio began climbing again. This building was far to large. The empire was full of idiots. Idiots who somehow managed to build gigantic structures, without killing themselves in the process.

But then again, that was the purpose of the assassins. To destroy the empire. To end the slavery plauging the nation.

Ezio reached a terrace. Ten guards were patrolling, and 3 more levels of climbing awaited him.

"OH COME ON!"

A tree rose into vision. After asking one of the townsfolk for directions, Ezio had found the Library. As far as he was concerned, a tree, turned into a house, was ridiculous. How did the tree stay alive?

Reaching the doorway, Ezio peered in through the keyhole. No lights inside. That meant no one was home. He opened the door silently, and closed it behind him. He took a step forward, and the room lit up like fireworks.

"SUPRISE!"

Ezio screamed once more, Leaping up to the ceiling, hidden blades attaching him firmly to it.

"Hi there!"

Ezio looked beside himself to see that same pink pony standing on the ceiling looking at him.

He screamed again and fell towards the floor...

Taiya was there...

Taiya...

She was beautiful...

She always was beautiful...

Ezio didn't know what to say to her...

He searched for words...

But nothing came out...

Taiya was leaving now...

Come back...

Ezio Groaned. His head hurt like a blow to the head from a solid wooden beam. He raised his hoof and felt a bandage on his head. His foreleg was bandaged as well.

He opened his eyes, and looked around. He was in a bed, in a closed room. This couldn't be good. Ezio quickly looked around, seeing his robe and weapons on a table on the other side of the room. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

The door clicked, and Ezio quickly closed his eyes.

"Hey stranger. Wake up!"

Ezio opened his eyes, to see a purple pony, with a horn. A horn? Now that was really messed up.

"W-where am I?"

The purple pony giggled.

"In the library. You were so suprised by Pinkies suprise party, that you leapt onto the ceiling. Then you came down, and sprained your leg, not to mention knocking yourself out. So, we brought you up here for the night!"

Great. Now Ezio had to stay immobile, and maybe be discovered.

"Uhhh, Thanks?"

"No Problem!" The purple pony motioned towards the table. "You know, for a pony, you sure have a lot of weapons."

"Well, ummm, I kinda need them for what I do."

"And just what do you do?"

Ezio was rather unsure of how to explain this one...

"So, you were hired to kill ponies? What kind of pony are you?"

Ezio had just spent the last hour explaining how his weapons worked, and also what his occupation was. Twilight Sparkle, the 'Unicorn' he had been staying with, didn't take it too well.

"It was a job, and it brought money. Back then it was survival. But now, its not really my thing anymore."

Twilight seemed to relax at this statement. At least she didn't know about his humanity.

"Well, since its not really your, 'thing' anymore, can you make me a promise?"

"Uhhh, yea I guess?"

"Don't kill anypony please? It's not something that brings a pleasant image to mind."

Ezio was actually ok with that request. It was obvious that his form of government was not in this world, so maybe it wasn't needed.

"I promise."

"Good!" Twilight said, giggling happily. "I'll go get you your breakfast!"

Twilight left the room, and closed the door beind her. Three days worth and already Ezio could feel the insanity getting to him. He didn't like it. All the ponies in this town were crazy. No doubt about it.

There was something about Twilight Sparkle. Some sort of aura, or force she carried around wherever she went. If anything, it certainly was strong with her.

Twilight opened the door again, carrying a tray with food on it. Except one itty bitty fact. The tray was floating. An aura surrounded her horn, and the tray as well.

"How do you do that?"

"Ummm, Duh! Magic? Haven't you ever seen a Unicorn before?"

Well, that explained a lot...
