Ezio - Fate lies Within

Chapter 4

Strange Ramblings

Ezio had explained what he knew to Twilight, and for some reason, he felt a huge relief for promising not to kill. No, there was no way he was becoming soft already. He sighed, and carefully positioning his sprained leg, now wrapped in a bandage, he closed his eyes and contemplated some of the things Twilight said. Maybe she was right. Maybe this government cared about its people, unlike those stupid Borgia.  He had gotten so close to bringing them to ruin. If he had just.....

And that's when Ezio Realized something.....something he was enraged that he actually missed......it was a setup....THE WHOLE THING WAS A SETUP!!!

When Ezio had walked into that nobles study, the noble had hurriedly put something into his desks drawer. He hadn't payed any mind to it. But it was a bag. Of Money. The information wasn't false, but his target being pressed by the crowd was.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ezio screamed with rage, and in so doing, jumped out of bed, landing on his sprained ankle. He screamed again, this time from extreme pain and agony. He stumbled headfirst into the wall, and blackness enveloped his mind again...

~~~~~

"Are you sure about this job?"

Ezio had been polishing his weapons profusely that night. Taiya had been there, and sensed something off. Of course, he had to tell her, it was assassin code.

"Yes Taiya, I promise you. This noble has been of use to me before, and i have kept him safe for it. He is opposed to the empire, and therefore, why should i worry?"

Taiya seemed visibly upset.

"If you say so Etzio. Just be careful."

He hated it when people pronounced his name like that....

~~~~~

A cream colored Pegasus was re-bandaging the poor earth ponys leg. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She moved on to his head. She knew exactly what happened, and she knew it had been painful, just from the lump on his head. It almost looked like a horn was trying to burst out and become a full fledged accessory. She winced, partly from the knowledge of the pain, and partly from the idea about a horn bursting out of his forehead like some sort of alien. She quickly rid her head of the horrifying thought, and put her medical skills to work.....

Twilight on the other hand, was visibly worried. She had heard 2 screams, one of pure anger, a second of pain, then she rushed upstairs to find Ezio lying on the floor facing the wall, a slowly developing bump on his head. She placed him back in bed, then had quickly teleported to Fluttershys cottage to enlist Fluttershys medical help. She felt sorry for the guy, he was so nimble from what he had told her, but here, he couldn't get out of bed without slamming into a wall. The poor pony must of had his share of excitement today.

"Twilight?"

Twilight quickly whirled around to see Fluttershy at the top of the stairs, her medical kit folded under her wing.

"Oh goodness! How is He!?"

"He will be ok Twilight. He has that nasty bump, which i took care of, but you need to keep an eye on him. he might have a concussion, so stay with him tonight ok? We can't have him going into a coma."

Twilight sighed in relief.

"Thank you so much for your help Fluttershy, its so wonderful to have a friend like you!"

Fluttershy squeaked in surprise and blushed as Twilight grasped her in a bear hug, making her drop her kit. Fluttershy had been hugged by bears before, but that was nothing compared to this.

"*squeak* Uhhm, *gasp* Twilight?"

"Yes?"

"*gasp* i cant, breathe Twi."

Twilight quickly set the poor pony down. Fluttershy felt the oxygen and blood rush to her head, and stumbled around a bit before regaining her composure.

"Oh Fluttershy I'm so sorry! Are you ok?"

"Twilight, *pant pant* you would most likely win a bear hug contest against *gasp* a bear..."

Twilight immediately remembered that she had never actually been able to remove that strength spell she had used for that time Rainbow Dash had gotten pinned down by logs, and Twilights magic wasn't strong enough to lift them. She used a spell, and lifted the logs with her hooves instead. She had probably crushed Poor Fluttershy.

"Oh My Goodness I'm so sorry about that! I keep forgetting about my strength!"

"Its ok Twilight, I'm sure I will be fine. Angel Bunny is probably worried about me right now, could you teleport me back home please?"

"Yes of course. Thank you again for your help Fluttershy."

With that, Twilights horn glowed, and Fluttershy vanished in a poof of light. Twilight loved her new teleportation spell. Moving objects or ponies without having to move herself as well was useful. Very Useful. She gathered a few books to read, (a few in this case being around 27) and headed up to her guest room. As she passed her own room, she quickly wrote a letter to spike, and placed it beside the sleeping baby dragons bed. When he woke up, he would know why she wasn't in her own bed. She entered the guest room, and sat down on the recliner chair. Wow....this thing was soft. Why wasn't this thing in her own room?

~~~~~

Ezio was still atop the spire in this dream. Except perched this time with him, was Taiya. Why was she here? This wasn't her job.

Looking closer, Ezio realized he wasn't looking at Taiya, he was looking at himself.....why?

He turned his view to the streets below, and watched as the noble came out, surrounded by guards. He looked on in horror, as his other self jumped off the spire.

"No! Don't do it!"

It was too late though.

He watched as his other self neared the ground, screaming and throwing up his hands. Ezio Screamed as his other self smashed into the ground, literally turning into a pulverized pile of flesh and bone....

~~~~~

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Twilight awoke quite quickly to see Ezio thrashing in his bead and screaming. Jumping out of her soft chair, she ran over and tried to settle the screaming pony. When her efforts failed, she immediately used a magic spell to calm him and lull him back to sleep. He stopped screaming, and slowly settled back into a deep sleep.

This was going to be a long night.

~~~~~

Ezio stopped screaming in his dream as a calm washed over him, like a feeling of pure love and warmth.....it was...wonderful....

There in front of him though.... was his father....just, sitting there on a chair on the balcony...

This place......He recognized it.....

He walked to the balcony, a chair suddenly materializing from thin air, giving him a place to sit.

"Ezio, do you remember what I told you when i took you under my wing?"

Ezio stared, trying to remember....

"No, I'm sorry but I don't..."

His father turned to him, old age and kindness showing in the creases on his face.

"I told you, that you were destined for greatness. That we all are. Do you know why I told you this?"

Ezio shook his head. He could hardly believe he was talking to his father...

"I told you that because, Deep down, I knew you to be a savior, not of our world, but of another. I didn't understand this feeling until now, when you arrived here."

Ezio was still amazed...

"But Father, you're dead. How am I speaking to you?"

His father simply chuckled and turned back to the sunset on the tropical horizon.

"Watch the sunset with me, and Ill tell you."

Ezio watched as the sunset stayed exactly where it was......and his Father began to explain....
