Rite of Passage
I don’t own assassin’s creed. XC Enjoy!Desmond stayed quiet as he listened to the civilians below. He was hiding again, Altair and Ezio often made training a game, the prize being sex. He listened to the rustling of cloth and paid attention to it. It was loud, too loud for a trained assassin, whoever was on the roof behind him had little training. There was a sharp sound and Desmond’s eyes widened at the familiar sound of an unsheathed blade. Whoever it was, they were getting close as if they knew he was there. Desmond decided to call the game quits and climbed out of his hide place turning around to see his potential attacker. He frowned briefly as he met the woman’s eyes. “Maria?”
“How do you know my name, scum?” She demanded, her fist clench around her dagger, her knuckles turning white. “Altair told me.” Desmond lied wondering why Maria seemed so angry with him. Realisation hit him like a brick wall when he remembered that Altair had slept with this woman at one point. Desmond had taken her place and she was after him in revenge and anger. “And why would he tell a whore ‘my’ name.” She snarled. “I’m a whore am I?” Desmond replied, mentally flinching at the name but otherwise showing no signs of hurt. “What if I told you Altair came to me, not the other way round? Or maybe I should let you know he was with Ezio long before I came onto the scene.” “You lie! He would never betray me, you’ve brainwashed him. You’ll drag him to hell with you, sinner!” She snarled angrily, Desmond could see she was getting angrier and angrier, his two older lovers had warned him that an angry and violent opponent was often the worst. “I speak only the truth.” Desmond said calmly hoping to calm the situation down. “I cannot speak for Altair. Who knows why he chose Ezio and me over you.” Desmond mentally chuckled, if this was what Maria was truly like then he could see precisely why Altair had chosen his two male lovers over this woman. “He chose you because you’ve delusional him. You should have heard him talking about love. Two men cannot love each other! It is wrong. A crime. It’s a sin!” She ranted. “But with you gone and your hold over him removed he will see the light! He will see the truth.” Desmond personally wanted to send her to a mental institution but instead he sighed. “Harming me will not bring Altair back to you; it will just push him farther away.” He stated. “If you loved Altair as much as you say you do, you’d love that he was happy no matter who he was with, man or woman. Love is about the happiness of the person or persons you love, it’s not about wrong or right.” He added passionately. “That’s where you’re wrong. Happiness can only be found in God’s way. Homosexuality is a sin, all who sin go to hell. But I won’t let Altair go to hell; I will save him from his sins.” Maria stated, Desmond swallowed the lump in his throat, she was delusional and he realised no matter what he said she was set in her decision. To her he had to die, simply for loving another man. The woman lunged at him, but Desmond slid back and gripped her wrist. Normally Altair and Ezio could easily twist their wrists out of his hand but they were men not women. Desmond was stronger than Maria and easily held on despite her struggling, in moments the dagger was on the ground, Desmond kicked it a way and released the woman. She screeched and lunched for him her hands shaped like claws. Desmond only had a few seconds to compare her to some demon possessed woman before he had to duck. He rolled out of the way, quickly standing as she turned to go after him. She was skilled in combat and was trying to attack particular weak spots. Fortunately Desmond was able to avoid them. When she realised she could not hit him she went for her dagger, but Desmond easily blocked her and forced her to back off. He did not dare hit her because she was still a woman, but he was able to keep her in defence with fake lunges and attempted hits keeping her in a defensive posture. Maria however began to realise this and kicked his legs, sending him onto his back. She ran to her dagger and immediately turned to stab him. He managed to grip her wrist but this time she did not release the dagger. Her other hand went for his throat but Desmond easily blocked it. With swift, careful movements he twisted the vicious, struggling woman around avoiding the wildly swinging dagger. He knocked her to her knees, used his knee on her lower back to keep her pinned face down on the roof and finally retrieved the dagger. He panted quietly, staring down at the screaming woman, he could hear the civilians murmuring among themselves but he paid them no mind. However a familiar voice broke through his thoughts and he glanced up, looking around. Ezio was crying out his name and literally shoving everyone out of the way in his hurry to reach Desmond. Altair was on the roof tops, jumping and lunging. The two assassin’s landed with a thump on the roof and were immediately by his side. “Are you alright?” “She did not hurt you much did she, habibi?” “You did well.” Ezio stated proudly. “We should have been closer.” Altair muttered. “But the whole idea was for Desmond to hide, if we were closer there would not be much hiding.” Ezio answered in amusement. He took the dagger from Desmond’s hand and put it away inside his cloak before lifting Desmond up off the woman and hugging him tightly. The moment she was free the female raced for Altair but firm hands stopped her before she could embrace him. She glared down at Altair’s hands. “What is this, my love? Aren’t you happy to see I’m well? That sinner could not harm me.” She felt more than saw the tremble in his arms and mistook it for worry. “I am well now, habibi.” She stated using the Arab endearment much to the disgust of all who were present. “You need not look me over, please just hold me.” “Guard.” Altair called out. A larger man walked over, his dark brown eyes glared down at Maria but otherwise his face showed no expression. “Please take this woman to the dungeons, I have no wish to see or speak to her for some time. Ensure she is isolated so she can cause no more trouble.” “Altair, my love, what are you…” “I am not your love and I will never be your habibi!” Altair snarled. “You intentionally attacked a citizen with the intent to kill him. That is attempted murder. You will be tried publically for this. You have stained this town with your presence and stained our reputation.” Altair literally threw the woman into the guard’s arms. “Take her away. Now!” He ordered. The guard nodded and dragged Maria away kicking and screaming. With the woman gone, Altair let out a sigh before approaching his two lovers. He carefully checked over their youngest making sure he wasn’t wounded before smiling. “You did wonderfully, habibi. I’m very proud of you.” He praised earning an embarrassed blush from Desmond. “What made you realise she was there?” Ezio asked curiously as he sat pulling Desmond down onto his lap. Desmond glanced around blushing at the audience around them who had still not moved since the fight. “I…I heard a sound. Like a cloak rustling, but you guys are too quiet, even your clothes are eerily quiet.” Desmond explained. “I realised it wasn’t an assassin.” He explained as he watched Altair sit beside him listening to every word he said. “At first I just wondered who would be on the roof but then I heard a blade being unsheathed and the footsteps were getting closer to my hiding place. I chose to break cover and turned to face my would-be attacker and there she was. I tried to talk to her at first, but she was getting increasingly agitated and delusional. It didn’t take me long to realise I wouldn’t be talking her out of her attack, so I just focused on avoiding her strikes and disarming her.” “You did well. She was not just a normal woman; she was trained by Robert De Sable himself. She is one of the first female Templars. She was not easy to defeat, nor is she easy to trust. For you to try both is an amazing thing.” Altair explained. “She was not an easy opponent.” He said surmising what he had just said. “Perhaps it’s time to up your training; you’ve proven without a doubt you can handle tough opponents, we will teach you to handle all types of opponents.” “There are many types. The normal soldiers, the archers, the brutes, the seekers, the runners and so on. Each one needs a different level of training.” Ezio continued. “You’ve learnt how to hide and avoid detection, why not up that to assassinations too.” “Tomorrow you’ll have to hunt us.” Altair answered. “Your job will be to track and locate us without giving us too much warning. But for tonight you can relax and continue your studies on our culture with Ezio. You’ve done well today.” “What about you?” Ezio asked. “I will have to speak to these civilians and have them speak as witnesses for Maria’s trial. Then I will have to speak to Malik and the heads of the Assassin order to discuss the situation and the date and time of Maria’s trial.” Altair explained. “I do not know how long I’ll be, so don’t wait up for me tonight.” “Sorry to cause so much trouble.” Desmond muttered. Altair frowned and surged forward taking Desmond’s lips in a passionate kiss. When the parted Desmond was panting, his skin a pale pink and he blushed. “Do not apologise. Maria has bought this on herself. She would have attacked Ezio or any of my other lovers no matter who they were. You are not to blame.” He stated passionately. He gently kissed both his lovers before standing, he pulled Desmond to his feet and Ezio stood soon afterwards. “Now head back to Masyaf castle, I will deal with the mess Maria caused.” He instructed. Ezio smiled softly and lead Desmond back up and into the castle. Altair smiled softly after them before his face became impassive and he stared at the gather people. Time to clean up the mess.A/N:- Poor Desmond… But at least he’s proven to the two older assassin’s that he can take care of himself! XD.
