Assassin's Creed: The Crusade Begins

Altair sighed heavily, "This is my fault"



"I can't usually see them properly where i was from... clouds used to cover them all the time" Ivy replied, "What about you?"

Amirah choked slightly 'Altair... i.. always... ive always...'


'this is my home' Malik stated 'im Arabian'

"What?" Altair asked.



"What is your name... i doubt its Edward" Ivy chuckled.

'i... always liked you' Amirah whispered, she was digging herself a grave here and she knew it



'Malik A-sayf' Malik stated, he never told outsiders his name

Altair froze, "You... did?"



"Malik A-sayf... its a nice name... means king of the sword right?" Ivy asked looking at him... she had been trying to learn Arabic whilst she was here.

Amirah turned around keeping her back to him she nodded slowly closing her eyes, she liked him but she couldnt tell him the truth


Malik smiled 'perfectly translated... whats your name?'

Altair was not sure what to do now.



Ivy smiled, "My name is Ivy Thorpe" she replied.

Amirah didnt turn around or look at him 'im sorry'



'oh how very English' Malik chuckled

"Its fine" Altairs sighed.



Ivy chuckled, "I am English you know... my name isn't that pretty as it sounds... mine means a rather annoying and horrid plant that is usually overgrown"

Amirah bowed her head very low, though her back was to him 'im so sorry... you are the great eagle of Masyf... im a criminal' she was telling the truth, she was a woman dressing as a man, though he would probably take it as that Amir was gay, which was also a crime



'meanings have nothing to do with the person in most cases' Malik stated trying to comfort her

Altair sat down sighing.


Ivy chuckled, "Its fine... i have learnt that i have never been a normal woman... and i never will be"

Amirah bit her lip, either way she was going to die if he told



Malik smiled 'well whats so great about being normal'

"We shall never speak of this moment" Altair stated it was just as much as his fault as it was Amirs.


"An easy life?" Ivy sighed.

Amirah nodded this hurt so much, she had always known that she couldnt have him, now it was like she could have... if she had been a regular woman


Malik looked up 'heros never have easy lives'

Altair rubbed his head what had he been thinking?.



Ivy smiled, "Its a shame... we are on different sides... i will miss talking like this to someone"

Amirah slowly dropped to her knees in silence, as though in slow motion, she slumped down on her hands and knees it was too much for her to take


'meet me in the dead of the night' Malik had never been to rash

Altair had to leave he couldn't take it he would do something stupid again.



"Where?" Ivy asked... she was curious of him.

Amirah didnt move, she stayed right there this was so painful she wanted to shout out that she was a woman.... Al Mualim would kill her if she did that


'inbetween here and Acre, theres a cove in the middle of the road that leads to nowhere' Malik stated

Altair moved into his own room.



"Alright" Ivy smiled, "Dead of night... tomorrow?" she asked.

Amirah closed her eyes her teeth gritted, her face contorted in pain, she could just scream



Malik nodded, no idea why he was doing this

Altair punched the wall in his room.



Ivy stood up, "Alright... i will see you tomorrow... Malik" she smiled.

Amirah cried right there on the floor, she always knew she couldnt have what she wanted... but for a moment there it was obtainable



Malik smiled 'goodnight Ivy'

Altair could not believe he had kissed... her at least twice.



Ivy smiled and waved, "Sleep well Malik"

Amirah felt her chest heave in her bindings ... why did she have to hide


Malik waved watching her

Altair sighed maybe he should sleep it off... maybe he would find it is a dream.


Ivy got on her horse and rode off back him.
