//------------------------------// // The Confesion // Story: Assassin's Creed III Reclamation [Canclled // by Electric thunder //------------------------------// “WHAT!” Luna yelled with the ‘Canterlot Voice’ from behind the one-way-glass window which shattered into hundreds of shards. “Oh, bloody hell” Steel covered his ear’s trying to dampen the loud ring in his ears. “Ah, what the ‘ell” he muttered under his breath. Luna gave him no mind as she leapt from where the window used to be, and floated down to the floor crushing more of the larger shards into even smaller pieces, and all the while both of the guards looked at each other reading their faces. What…the…BUCK All the while Connor just stood back, because he had a felling something big was going to happen involving this new night blue horse similar to Celestia. “What do thou mean by ‘your death’?” It look to Connor as if he was the one who would bring the cause of death, just like he has done so many times in the past. “Luna, calm yourself, remember what I taught you about your anger” Celestia looked to Luna, and spoke with a soft loving tone. To prove Connor’s theory about Celestia’s words, Luna’s face relaxed, and she gave a sigh. “I-I am sorry it was just unexpected” Luna looked away from everyone. “It is alright, you two see if you can find a replacement” Celestia nodded to the now no more secret observation room. The two guards snapped back into their original statue look, gave a salute, and ran off. “Steel you are relived from your post, you may return home for the day” She added. “Wha’ you say” Steel’s head popped over the observation deck. “You’re relieved of duty for the day” Celestia said a little louder. “Gah, don’t need to yell” Steel turned around and out of view, while Celestia looked back to Luna. “So, as you know this is Connor, Connor this is my dear sister, Luna” Celestia looked to Connor, then Luna. “It is good to see you well” Luna’s voice was not as regal as Celestia’s, but it was still one of great power. Connor was silent, these horses had saved his life, and even when he was a new animal to this land, dangerous, and maybe lethal they gave him the trust as an old friend would to another. His whole life he could never trust anyone, not even his father. Father… the word was hallowing…no true meaning to him. It hurt to think about Hathen, the man who was supposed to be his father not a man that tried to kill him. Connor became lost in thought before he realized what he was doing. “I...I cannot say much for your help, and gratitude, but why is it you came to trust me so?” Connor looked to Celestia for an answer. “It is only with a kind heart that I do, and with my curiosity also, Now I answered your question I believe it is my turn to ask, As you may not know, but my captain had read your mind which caused you to faint, but he only saw fragments, and blurs, so I ask could your fill the holes?” Connor once again retracted into is mind, what should he do? They gave him trust he has never been given by them, so was it only far to return it, and tell them his life story? Or just say what they need to know? After a short mental argument with himself he decided to go with the latter. “My real name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, and my home Kanien'kehá:ka” Connor started, but wondered what to say next. “I lived a normal life with my mother at the time all was good, until a group of men came, and set ablaze my village almost everyone escaped, but my mother…was…was killed when I could not save her.”Connor moved his gaze from Celestia to the shattered glass on the floor, just like the way he felt the days after. Broken, shattered, and unifiable. “Years past and I found this symbol” Connor pointed to the logo on his wrist. “And I found this ancient gild of Assassins and after years of training I was accepted into the brotherhood, From then I learned that the men who Killed my mother were called ‘Templar's’ and my father was their leader.” “As a assassin I was to protect the freedom of everyone which the Templar's wish to steal, so I hunted down, and killed them…even my father when he tried to kill me” Connor remembered that night, the cannons firing of in the distance, is father, the rage inside of him. “Wait, you killed your father, how, why?” Celestia asked to him. “He tried to kill me, like he did my mother, and even when I gave him the chance for reconciliation he turned away” Connor felt the rage boiling inside of him. “I...I am sorry about that, I truly am” Luna spoke for her sister, with a mournful expression. “I’m not, he was nothing to me, he never treated me the way even a man would a dog” Connor spoke with venom in is voice. “Even when he treated you the way he did that is no excuse for committing a murder” Celestia spoke out to him. “You don’t understand” Connor looked away once again. Celestia looked to Connor feeling the anger that emendated from him, so she decided to change the subject. “What are you as a species?” Celestia asked Connor for she had never seen something like him, but he was so familiar. “I am human,may I ask the same” Connor gave a blunt response. “Me and my sister are what you call Alicorns, half Unicorn, half Pegasus” Luna spoke while looking up to her sister, then to Connor. Celestia told Connor that she ruled over the land of Equestria with her sister at her side, and then contended to speak about how she raised, and set the sun everyday and her sister took to the night, and the moon. Celestia added on the magic the lands held and the ponies that live within the lands everything from Cutie marks to the mythical creatures that walk the forest, and fly over the mountains. With every word the two spoke the more Connor felt as if he died, and was sent to a land full of insanity as a punishment for what he has done in the past…But he knew that was just a stupid theory in his head no matter how much he wished it was true. “Well I believe that we have had enough chit-chat, and you should rest” Celestia looked to the glass that was shattered over the floor her horn lit up, and the glass floated into the air, and it just disappeared. Connor was intrigued with the display of magic as he walked to the bed that lay in the center of the room. “I shall come to visit tomorrow, and we will speak more then, good day” Celestia turned and walked to the door. “I bid you a farewell” Luna gave a slight nod, and followed her sister out of the room. Connor stood alone in the room thinking of what had transpired, and he could not have a strait thought they would stray off deep into his conciseness. Finally Connor cleared his mind, slipped into the bed, and fell asleep. ============ LATER THAT NIGHT... “Your majesty, Princess Luna has arrived” said the guard who walked into her room. “Let her in please” Celestia walked from her balcony to the front over her bed as Luna walked in. “Sister” Luna stepped in. “Hello Lulu, sorry to keep you but there are things I wish to discuss with you first” She looked to the now setting sun from the opened balcony window. “No need, I have no plans for tonight Tia, what is it you wish to talk about?” “Its…well…” Celestia gave a sigh. “I know that what Connor said was true, my pupil told me of a recent nightmare she had of my funeral” "Tia, why is it that everything is pointing to your death, and you keep thinking about it, are you afraid to die?" “I am not afraid to die, I’m afraid of what will happen after” Celestia walked to the balcony with Luna in tow. “Do you fear that I cannot hold the kingdom with your absence?” “No, no just that…” Celestia gave another sigh. “You are very strong, and I know you will be fine, but what about everypony else, what will happen to them? Everything we strived for, what are parents strived for what will happen to it?” Luna opened her mouth to protest, but what could she say, so she closed it. “Do you remember what they did for this peace?’ “It has been so long since the last time I heard the story” Luna was standing next to Celestia as they watched the sun set. “You were just learning to walk when there was a upraise in the north, riots, violent protest, and wars sprang up all over the kingdoms, and when we were too young to understand are parents where terrified if the violence spread to the east. Their worst fears became a reality when a battle raged into the old city of Manehatten, and half the city was destroyed in the fight. Are parents saw it fit to protect the cities instead of war, until a protester from the north came to the old kingdom and started a riot so large, it was heard for miles around. The griffon responsible was captured, and executed in front of the whole city of Trotegem as an example, ordered by are father. Mother was unhappy with the decision but did not fight it. The worst part was the griffon who was executed was the son of the tyrant Saber Claw, in his rage he unleashed the shadow, the spirit who possessed you, but at the same time another monster viler than the tyrant himself called the vale escaped. It plagued the land into utter devastation, and the whole ancient griffon kingdom fell in months. Once the last few griffons from the kingdom died it set its sights on the whole world, and to do that it would destroy the sun and moon. It was called the great awaking. To stop it are parents decided to take action by forging four mythical items to stop it. They were called the robe of Aquae , The Sword Of Ventus, The amulet of magia, and The shield of Terria, but when all four were finished The Vale had taken control over the Sun, and moon, so they hid the elements with their own protectors. The Vale, and are parents meat at were are castle stands, and in a battle of magic the vale was banished into the sprite realm once again, but the sun and moon began to crumble. Are parents together used the Canterlot Spell turning them into sprits, and father melded into moon and pulled it together, mother flew to sun and held its wrath from destroying Equis. Celestia took a deep breath, and gave a heavy exhale. “It hurts to think about it sometimes” Luna held in a tear as she looked to the marble floor of the balcony. “I know it does, but it has kept me going all these years” Celestia pulled the sun behind the mountains as Luna pulled up the moon, and the stood together in silence. ================== “Did you do as I asked?” The shadow asked the changeling that sat in the black marble room. “Yessss, The Zebrican hassss been killed” It hissed. “And, did you frame the griffons?” It asked again. “Yesss we had placed an armor clad griffon guard with a false memory of killing Him” It looked up with a small smile on its face. “Good, you have performed well, very well” The shadow moved around the changeling. “Do you fear me?” It asked the shadow. “I-I- yessss I do” It looked around frantically. “Good” The shadow engulfed the bug. “GAHHH” “Very, very good” The shadow left the skeleton of the changeling on the floor as it floated over to a large glass ball that sat in a dark purple pedestal that had the shape of a dragon’s claw holding it. A image of a human asleep in a large bed was inside of it. “You will be mine Connor, so very soon” The shadow gave a wicked chuckle, as it took a form of a gold glowing woman.
