Octavia lay on the floor, her broken hidden blade in front of her. A Templar captain walked behind her and kicked her awake. Two more ponies hoisted her up on their backs and started hauling her away. Octavia had flashbacks of her journey here. Her ride on the boat, the walk through the desert, and when she found out that the Templars had gotten to Masyaf castle before her. She fought half an army. In a brief moment, she caught a glimpse of the great Luna. Octavia looked for a second too long, and she was defeated.

Octavia was dragged to an open room. The captain, Commander Crysalis, waited with an evil smile on her face. Octavia shook free and started walking to the edge of the tower by herself. As she passed the commander, she glanced at her with the same evil sneer. As Octavia neared the end of the platform, she noticed Luna was walking next to her. She stopped at the edge. She felt her hood being grabbed, and then pulled off. Commander Crysalis put a noose around Octavia's neck. She just stared in front of her, waiting for the signal. An eagle screeched. She felt the noose tighten, and she turned around. Octavia punched, pulled the noose off, wrapped it around Crysalis, and jumped. She fell and fell, finally landing on a platform down below. She looked up to see how far she fell. With that done, she stood up and hid her face with her hood once more. "it is very hard to see down here." Octavia said to herself. She shivered. "Well, at least my cloak is warm." As she checked out her surroundings, she her yelling from above. "I WANT HER DEAD! Find her, and KILL THE BASTARD!" Octavia paid no attention as she followed the "ghost" of Luna. She hopped up onto wooden beams until she got to stone wall. She ran up the wall and held onto the ledge. She noticed a guard keeping watch right in front of her. She reached out and grabbed his hind legs, and dragged him over the edge. She climbed up and laughed to herself. "God, I love doing that"

She continued following Luna up the castle. In the distance she heard, "Did you find her? No?! Well keep looking! Nopony leaves until the assassin is dead!" Octavia rolled her eyes as she continued climbing. She was having an easy time, but then she saw a large gap between her and the next wooden bar. She bit her lip and pushed her whole body forward. She grabbed onto the ledge, but lost her grip in one hoof due to the icy bar. As he hung on with one hoof, she looked down. She gasped and stumbled onto the top of the post. It looked like a bottomless pit due to the frosty air and mist. She shook away her fear and continued on. She got to the top of a tower and gave a relived sigh. She took a quick breather and brushed off her robes. She grinned as she noticed a small room that held her weapons. Octavia put on her left hidden blade and tested it. Everything was working. She did the same with her right. When it popped out, only a nub was left. She frowned as she sheathed her sword. "Get ready Templars, I'm coming."

She walked out of a door and saw about 4 Templars standing around on a tower. Octavia silently walked behind the one watching the stairs. She unsheathed her sword and walked right up to his back. She stood up on two legs and held the sword in her right front hoof. She quickly plunged the sword right through his back. The other three guards took notice. They ran over and drew their own swords. The guards appeared too scared to do anything, judging by the glances they were giving each other. Octavia made an annoyed face and swung at the first guard. He deflected it but Octavia kept swinging. Another guard took this opportunity to attack. Octavia turned and knocked the sword out of his hands and stabbed him through. She almost instantly turned around and sliced the other guard's neck. She then turned her focus to the two other shivering guards. She jumped and sliced a guards neck. He fell to his knees in front of Octavia. He looked up and stared into her eyes. He started silently crying. Octavia's face was expressionless. He slowly fell to the ground, all the while clutching his bleeding neck. When he fell motionless in front of her, she slowly turned to the other guard. To his surprise, she sheathed her blade. The guard could not move due to shear fear. Octavia jumped suddenly. The guard screamed. He opened eyes. "Huh?!!" the assassin could not be seen. He calmed his beating heart. "Thank the lord..." he whispered. Octavia fell from the sky and plunged her hidden blade into his heart. She stood up and shook the blood of of the blade and "sheathed" it. She walked towards another tower, leaving the bodies of four Templars in her wake.
