//------------------------------// // Azure's Tomes // Story: Point Fifty // by ColoradoBlueJay //------------------------------// From the age of six Azure has trained with the creed of the assassins and eventually became the creed itself. He lives life day to day by it. Master assassin True Mark trained Azure to the best of his ability's. When Azure reached the rank of master assassin, True mark met a horrible demise as he was hung from the gallows and Azure watched not being to do anything. By the age of thirty two Azure had killed over twenty important Templar leaders and their followers. Azure had became a clever escape artist and made his kills, very messy. Azure always left a bloody heap of an example for the public eye to see. But always after a Templar kill, he would always pull out their pendants of the Templar order. As years passed he began to home the free running skill to evade enemies. He became very good at this and used it to his advantage. At the age thirty five he married Snow Drop. A light blue unicorn with a blue streak running down the length of her mane. Azure never wanted for her to be a part of the order due to the extreme danger that was placed upon the assassins. They had a child and named him Nixs. But Nixs never survived past the age of one years old. Becoming more and more apparent that the assassins guild in Equestria wouldn't last very long with out more members. Azure set out to find recruits, often finding ponies who were being harassed by the Templars or had a certain skill set. It took Azure months to find a recruit, but so he trained the recruit. The recruit who had just made it through training died by a royal guard raid in his home. Azure later stated that. "Anypony who joins the assassins, are already at a risk of death. Before they even know it." At the age of thirty seven, Azure was at a time of peace. Hardly any Templars were around. So Azure took this moment of prosperity to relax and read tomes of history. One day while reading a peculiar tome about an apple, Azure met an elderly pony who sat before him. The old pony had said nothing and just watched the assassin read. The pony had finally spoken and looked Azure strait into the eyes; glaring like daggers. The pony said "I know who you are and what you have done." But all Azure did was look back at the frail pony. "I am a Templar and I must say your work is quite fascinating." At that point azure was about ready to kill the old pony that sat before him. "Please, before you do anything, I have left them and their vile ways. But I must inform you that Abstergo is searching Equestria for the two missing elements that disappeared fifty years ago. So you need to find them before they do." So ever since that day, Azure has been looking over Equestria for the two missing elements. They could be dead for all he knew but he a had to find them first if the Templars were to use them.
