//------------------------------// // The Brotherhood // Story: Assassins Creed-Equestria // by cellum95 //------------------------------// The ponies got confused of what the filly said. Who are the Assassins? What are their intentions? Are they trying to get Equestria in harm? For the princesses, they didn't know the answer, but history will tell the story of the long-forgotten Creed. "Do you know them princess?" Twilight asked her fellow alicorn princess and mentor. Celestia shook her head to the left and right, meaning it's a 'no'. 'Damn! Who are they anyway?' Twilight thought in her head. -Octavia's House- The Assassins that appeared in that night in the Canterlot Gardens meet on Octavia's House and put in the name of the Creed as their meeting place. The mares got into a room and unveiled their hoods, revealing the face of four mares. "Well Octavia, you have quiet the Assassin's traits." The black robed cyan colored mare said. "Don't worry Rainbow Dash. That mission is only meant for heightening our senses you know." Octavia said. "You do realize that when we revealed ourselves, the princesses will sure have a search warrant?" The white-robed pink colored mare. "I agree with Pinkie Pie. Once we revealed ourselves, they will sure search for us." The little robed filly said. "Maybe I also go for Pinkie Pie as well. Scootaloo, did you warn them about us?" Octavia asked Scootaloo. "Well I only said 'We are the Assassins' and threw our symbol." Scootaloo replied. "Oh well that's their only clue. Regardless, we must protect Equestria without being noticed. We must not let our enemy being notified." Rainbow Dash said. The ponies nodded in agreement and soon left to their homes, with Octavia having remove her robes and got pulled into a deep sleep. -Next Day, Twilight's Library- Twilight was still analyzing the symbol of the so-called 'Assassins'. She was terrified of what they could do, but at the same time was also fascinated about their culture. She was, in her deep thoughts, that these ponies might have a common purpose, but for what? However, her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "COMING!" She shouted as she trotted down the stairs towards the door. 'I wonder who will that be?' She thought as she opened the door. However, instead of a regular pony, she saw the same four ponies last night. "I'm sorry Sinora Twilight. We're sorry to interrupt your pensiero in this time. However, we must talk....privately." The hooded filly said. They entered the library without Twilight saying 'Okay you can come', and Twilight closed the door. "So, what are you gonna talk to me anyways?" She asked the hooded mares. However, they didn't talk, and one pulled out a golden circular object out of it's robes. "This is what were gonna talk about." The black hooded mare said. Twilight was confused about it. What is this golden round thing? "Your probably wondering about this....cosa. This is The Apple, an important artifact that has immense power and knowledge." The hooded filly said with Twilight got her jaws open in shock. "But...I....I don't know this artifact. The only artifact I know of is the Elements of Harmony. But I have one question for you: What's your intentions.?" Twilight asked the hooded mares. The hooded didn't answer her for about minutes or hours, which makes Twilight pretty mad not being mad. However, a knock on the door got her attention. "Be right back you guys." Twilight commanded to the hooded mares as she darted towards the door. When she opened the door, it revealed her friends Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity. "Why hello girls! What's up?" Twilight asked her friends. "Oh nothing really darling." Rarity answered her friend. Twilight gave her self a chuckle, but a blade got to her neck, shocking her three friends. "Oh dear. It seems you have been deceived. Come inside, and we will tell you all." "We?" Applejack asked. But without a word, Twilight was dragged inside.Her friends come full force inside, but seeing Twilight and the same hooded mares last night. Applejack was in full anger. "Ah don't know what's going on, but Ah'm not gonna waste mah time just to chat with you guys!" She shouted, in her ready-to-buck state. However, the hooded filly stepped in and said: "Oh don't worry Sinora Applejack. It will be just a single chit-chat with us folks. Now come, we will have to discuss something." The hooded filly arranged them in order, her kin in one place, and Twilight and her friends to another. "Okay dears. What the buck are you gonna say to us you sick bucks?" Rarity asked in an offended nature. One of the white hooded mare stepped in and said: "We will only say the only thing that our tenant could do: Nothing is true, everything is permitted." The other hooded mares stepped in and chanted the only phrase the Mane 6 could swallow in their thoughts. 'Nothing is true, Everything is Permitted' "We also have another thing in mind to say before we say." The black hooded mare said. "And what is it stranger?" Twilight asked. "We should have it with the princess, today, tonight." Another white hooded mare said. After saying it, the four ponies jumped out of the library and began to run to the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. "Hey Twi! Ah don't like those sick bucks going to my farm!" But before Twilight could answer, they could here a voice. "Gli nella paura della Dottrina!" 'Oh buck.' Twilight thought as she and her friend galloped towards Sweet Apple Acres.
