Scourging of Equestria
Void

White.
All I could see was white.
I could see nothing ahead of me. Nothing. At. All. Just a blank void. I knew where I was.
And with a grin I turned to face the entity that was watching me.
There he was, the one they call “Death”
“So.. has my fate been decided?” I asked with a sense of guilt, and fear.
...
For a short while, the dark figure did not speak, but finally gave me an answer.
“Unlike many others.. You’re fate cannot be decided by me.”
“What do you mean?”
“While most beings are sentenced to the two plains.. you however have lived your life with nothing but pain, and suffering. You never truly learned right from wrong. You only enforced what you were taught to believe was right.
You never really had a choice.”
Death looks off into the distance, and chuckles “So much for free will.”
Death looks back, so see my confused face, then laughs softy to himself.
“What I’m trying to say is, your sins… have been reset so to speak”
I give him an even more confused look, and blurt out “So… what now, then?”
He glares at me, then gives me a response.
“You have 3 choices. You can go to his kingdom, or his basement.”
“Why would oblivion be a choice in the first place?”
Death chuckles to himself. “It isn’t. I give the guilty that just to give them the fake sense that they were forgiven.”
Wow what an asshole, I thought to myself.
“Who said that Death had to be nice?” he said with a smile on his face. He can obviously read minds.
Whatever.. I can’t judge something higher than me anyways.
“Wait, didn’t you say there was a third choice?”
“Oh yes, I did. I almost forgot about it.”
“What is it?”I asked, curious
Death stood silent, nodding to himself as if he was talking to someone. His hands were shaking gently before he speak.
Death look turns his head and looks at me.
"Change of plans...It seems you are not done yet." He said, "There is so much more to do." Death laughed devilishly, "Oh how I envy you..."
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.
Death looked straight at me.
“I’m going now. And so are you.”
“Wait! What? Where am I going? What will become of me?”
The white void around me started to deconstruct itself, and I noticed Death was getting further away from me.
I screamed for him, but he didn’t seem to hear me. All of a sudden everything went black, and all I could hear was a deep voice speak to me.
“Rise now Isan, and wreak havoc in my name...”
Before I could react everything stopped.
...
...
As I opened my eyes, I realized I was in a forest. Trees surrounding me, and nothing but pitch black, besides the moon shining down on me. My head is throbbing, and I can’t even remember how I got here.
Suddenly I felt something; almost like a whisper passing through my head.
“Only within the apple, are secrets. The deeper you bite into it, the more will be revealed.”
Am I going insane? What does that even mean? Oww! Now my head hurts even worse.
I took off my hood, and held my hand to my forehead. It was burning.
“I don’t know much about fevers but… I know if I stay like this, I could die.”
I wondered to myself about what I should do. Maybe I should go and see if I can find anyone to help me. I pulled myself off the ground, and wandered toward a distant light. As I approached it, I noticed it was a small shack. No… more like a tree. But how could someone live inside a tree? No matter. I need to see if anyone is home. I thoroughly enjoyed going up the steep long ramp, pretty much taking every bit of strength I had left. I was breathing heavily by the time I came to the top of the hill. I noticed my vision starting to blur.
“No… damnit. Not now. I’m almost there.”
I almost reached the door, but collapsed before I could get to it. I hit the wood floor hard, and the pain started to fade away.
The last thing I managed to glimpse was the door opening, and some…thing with four yellow legs come towards me.
…
Isan…
Who is that?
A/N: DUE TO CONFUSION HERE IS A SIMPLE EXPLANATION: MainCharacter's brother was named after Ezio. He is a direct descendant of the Master Assassin. The family name Auditore was passed down, I'm sure you can understand.
The whole Death thing: Failure to complete a mission, Isan dies. He wishes to go someplace without conflict, like paradise, but Death knows his destiny, and sends him someplace else; Equestria. The Assassins we deal with are all modern assassins. There is no coloration to the Master Assassin, Ezio, other than related family.
