“I feel like this might be goodbye my sweetheart.” Her head was resting against my chest as I rubbed her back. “You could choose a different path Leo.” “You kept vengeance from my heart. You kept me happy.” “Let me keep you that way.” “I wish he had never come.” It was the truth. I was able to ignore the outside world until Reiner had come. Once he had returned the world couldn’t be ignored anymore. “Then let him leave. Let him fight this himself. You stay here. You stay with me. With your children.” She held my hand to her belly, and as if on que the baby kicked at my hand. “If I was to stay. I would not be the man you love. To stay here would be to accept everything that they are doing.” I could never live with myself if I didn’t attempt to avenge what had happened. “Is there nothing I might say?” I wanted there to be. I wanted there to be something that would keep my here. The truth of this left me blunter than I wanted to be. “There is not.” She pulled back crying. I pulled her back in to me. Her body fell into me as if her legs had lost their strength. “My leaving does not mean I do not love you. I love you so much sweetheart.” “Not enough.” “We have to go Leofrich.” Reiner appeared on his horse surrounded on either side by (other men). “Do not leave me Leo. Please don’t leave.” She clung to my side with as tight a grip as I knew she could. “We will see each other again. In this world. Or the next. We will see each other again.” I pulled out of her grasp and begin walking towards my horse. She grabbed at my back but as I turned, I watched Karl hold her shoulders and I gave him a weak smile in thanks. |

"High Mentor what is my next task for the Ravens?" "Stand Ezio. You are far too respected to kneel before us." "Thank you High Mentor." "Your next task comes from the Germans to the south. There king has apparently decided to pay us a very large amount of gold to protect his heir." "Is there a particular threat against the young prince?" "That I do not know Ezio. Our birds tell us the king may be mad. They tell us strange stories of him having lost his mind." "If I may High Mentor." ""Speak freely Ezio. You have earned that right." "The matter I spoke to you about before my last assignment." I noticed Busara, and Remund Boix share a look before the High Mentor nodded to them and they left the room without a word to me. I had known Remund for almost ten years but the look in his eye was one of a stranger. "I want to speak honestly with you Ezio. Can we do that?" With everyone having left the room I felt a sence of fear that was almost alien for me. I had killed untold people in my life. Walked into the scariest places and never batted an eye. The way he spoke made me feel that fear. "Of course High Mentor." "What will it take for you to drop this matter?" "Drop it High Mentor?" "Your asking a lot of questions. Your brothers have brought this to my attention." It shocked me that my questions had so quickly gotten back to the High Mentor. "The Raven Order is everything to me High Mentor. I simply want to understand what happened to them." "And if I told you an answer that painted the order in a bad light?" "Was there anything else Ezio?" Looking into the eyes of Riol Nansladron I could tell he was beginning to panic that I hadn't left yet. He was one of the High Mentor's most loyal servants so his panic only fueled me on. "Yes there is Riol. I need you to tell me the truth of what's going on here." "What's going on?" "I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell all the men I've ever interrogated. You have one lie. Lie to me once and I will understand and accept." I pulled the knife from my side and the elderly Riol fell backwards knocking into his table and falling down to his back. "What are you doing." "I already told you." I stepped towards him holding the knife to his feeble weak neck. "I know what you are. I know what you do. You'll just kill me." "I promise you I will let you live if you tell me the truth. Lie or withhold from me and I will torture you for days and leave you a broken body. You won't be dead. But you will wish you were dead." He pondered my words for a moment before the coward begin speaking again. "I'll tell you. Just ask the question." "We both know you killed my friend. Why?" "He saw the Dark One." "The Dark One?" "We call him the dark one, but frankly I don't even know his real name. He's the messenger of Sauron the Dark Lord of Mordor." "Why is an agent of that monster here?" "Because Sauron is our new master Ezio. Your living in darkness." "You swore yourself to Sauron?" "Willingly." "Why?" "For me it was simple. I was tired of fighting for the good side. They don't pay well." As he let out a laugh at his own words I punched him in the face before pulling him back up and sliding the knife as close to his neck as I could. Holding his hands up in a surrender pose he whispered to me. "The High Master has his own reasons." I held the knife so close to his neck that a drip of blood came from his neck smacking against the floor. "What are those?" "I think he wants to be king." "King of what?" "Everything." "How does swearing himself to a monster get him to that end?" "You think I know. I'm just telling you what I think. You think for a moment that man is telling me anything." "You are one of his closest confidants." He let out a laugh as I said the words. "You've been gone a long time Ezio. He has new men. Men sent to him from Sauron loyal places like Taraban, and Umbar. We of the old number are kept to the outside now." "How many remain loyal?" "Less today then yesterday. Less tomorrow then today. Loyalty to the old way is a quick way to die here." "I called you a friend, and you allowed all of this to happen." "Where were you Ezio when Gregor was being betrayed?" "Betrayed?" "Sayden and his men killed dozens of the top echolon of the order, and then tried to kill Gregor and his son. He fought them off and escaped to Bravenholdt. Sayden had already wiped out Bravenholdt so when Gregor got there he realized the scope of what was happening." "And what did you do?" "The same thing that you did. Nothing. I did nothing." "Why?" "I see now that you have lied to me Ezio." "What are you talking about? Tell me why you didn't help Gregor." "It doesn't matter. You said that if I told the truth you would let me live. I can see in your eyes. Your justifying my death now. You have no intention of letting me live." There was no point in lying anymore. The game was over and he knew how it ended. "You know too much." "Then this is how it ends." "You have become a monster. But I am truly sorry that I lied to you." "Promises mean everything, but after they are broken, sorry means nothing." "Would you like a final moment." "No. Just get it over with." With his words I pulled from my side a vial I always kept close at hand when I was on missions but here in Ravenholtd I never thought I would have need of it. This was supposed to be a place of safety for me. The one place I could lower my guard and not worry about having to poison someone. "How will you do it?" "Daydream Spite." "So you will attempt to hide what you have done here." "I must change this. Killing you is something I must do for honor's sake. Escaping is something I must do for the sake of this entire continent." "So your betrayal of me is justified by saving the continent." "Yes." "Atleast I leave this world a bigger person then the one I entered." "Goodbye Riol." "Goodbye Ezio. "I am leaving Ravenholdt my friends." "That sounds more permanent then just a mission Ezio." "This place is gone. We need to leave here." "They will hunt us down and kill us." "They will try." "They may succeed." "Succeed or not there is no more life left for us here. We must push off on our own." "To what end?" "Doing good. I don't know about you but I'm tired of being the bad guy. The things that we did in Hispania..." "We were following orders. We don't know the full story."
"I am very pleased to have you here Lord Ederiz. Your reputation precedes you and I know that you are the man I need to keep the prince safe." "You have an amazing city your grace. I will be honored to protect your son. May I ask what threat you believe to be targeting your son?" "I'm not going to lie to you..." "Ezio, Your Grace." "Your a spaniard?" "No your grace. I do not know my mother but my father was a Vandal. My father was born in Forks though your grace." "Did you ever meet your mother?" "My father and mother are both a mystery. I was told by the orphanage that they died in a sickness that swept through the city." "I am sorry to bring up terrible memories Ezio." "No need to apologize your grace." "You asked what the threat I saw to my son was. You asked and I told you that I wouldn't lie to you. I'm paying you to protect my son. I am not paying you to understand my decisions. Is this understood." "It is your grace." "Something happened several years ago at Gulltown. As a result of this I dealt violently with those involved. My enemies blame me for this. Many of my vassals have come to also share this view. Due to this belief many have turned against me, and I believe because of this they wish to gain revenge through harming William." |

Marius Scott
Chapter Details
Marius Scott is the POV Character of this chapter and during this chapter he is sitting with Matilda whose head is leaning on his shoulder as they watch their young daughter Elena playing with his niece Astrid. As they sit enjoying a beautiful day its (several prominent nobles) that arrive to bring him to see his grandfather. Going with them he leaves Matilda handmaids in charge of Elena and brings his wife with him to her great happiness. Meeting with his grandfather he learns that the death of Dorin Crane to Swabian nationalists has not been handled well and that the Cranes have now occupied the major town of Skorraholt and have been dealing with the Swabian brutally which has led to reprisals from Low Swabia against them. Marius requests to be sent there to end the conflict and his grandfather agrees sending Reimer Brekfold, and Ottfried Leiblin with him alongside several hundred troops from House Scott, and the Brekfolds, and Leiblins. Marius requests and successfully convinces his grandfather that Matilda is to come with him, and the decision is made add another hundred men at arms due to her participation. Marius leaves Tree Hill by boat, and joined by Matilda, and several of his close friends they make the journey knowing the importance of what happens once they arrive. Arriving at Lake Swabia they are met by several ships carrying the banner of House Klausburg and as they bring their boats together, they meet with Vogtmeister Casper Daushburg who tells them that his squadron has been commanded to blockade the southern end of the Swab River as a part of a blockade against Low Swabia. Marius not wanting to override the Cranes before he can speak to them doesn’t overrule Lord Crane and allows the blockade to continue and thus leaves Casper in place while he continues towards Crane Castle. Arriving at Crane Castle they find several ships including a large Galley sitting in the harbor and Matilda remarks how the feeling of war is very high. Matilda and Marius talk together with Reimer, and Ottfried and they all discuss that they need to ratchet down the conflict as quickly as possible. They are met on the dock by Ordenmarshal Grimwald Vortinlane, and Burgomaster Wilhard Shutenlane who tell them that Lord Dustin Crane has already left with the main army for Skorraholt where he intended on occupying the city. Returning to their boats without staying in Crane Castle they make there way westward now heading towards Skorraholt. Matilda warns Marius that based on the words of Grimwald they may be too late to stop Dustin from violence. Following their discussions with Dustin Crane its Marius, and Matilda that board two of their ships and head towards Kolavik to meet with House Heldven and hopefully bring them back to Skorraholt. Following the successful meeting with House Heldven they board their ships with House Heldven now given permission to lead several of their ships out of the blockaded port through the Crane blockade. Arriving back at Skorraholt they land at the port and Marius is forced to use his forces to separate the Swabians from the Cranes as Dustin is on the dock waiting and attempts violence. As Marius is unable to stop it from escalating the two sides are near coming to blows when Matilda steps between Theoderic Weitlest, and Adelhard Krundwelter and her voice stops the two groups from fighting. The chapter ends with Matilda, and Marius arriving back in Tree Hill where Marius accompanies his heavily pregnant wife to the Basilica of Tree Hill where she will be taken care of for the final days of her pregnancy.

“Are you sure there is no way for you to come with me into the Basilica?” “The Cardinal would not allow it my love.” She huffed at my response. “Your god is not a fan of love?” She looked up at me with a playful smile. I could have joked back, but it felt like a moment to try and explain Christ to her. What it meant to me. “God wants only what is best for us. His plan can seem cruel at times, but he always loves us.” “Your god loves you. I don’t know that he loves your dragon loving wife.” |

“What do you want to know. I will tell you what you want. Do not hurt him.” “You said you were the kings man.” “Yes.” “The king has sanctioned what you men are doing?” “They sent us boats full of gold. They set up the meetings. Yes, they sanctioned this.” “To what end?” “We take control. We aren’t aligned to the Swans.” “So, it’s just more of the fight against the Swans.” “You would have to ask them their motivations.” “There anything else?” “We attack the Swan loyalists. It weakens them. What more is there?” As he spoke, I nodded at Redrick to place the dagger closer to Astric’s neck. “Stop!” “Then tell me what else they want of you. It isn’t this simple.” “Fine. I tell you the last of it, and you let Astric go?” “You tell me the rest of it. I will leave. Astric will not be harmed.” “Fine. We are to make a trip to Castle Hosidius during our next stage of attacks.” “Why Castle Hosidius?” “The princess is there. We are to take her out.” “Is she kidnapped?” “No. We are to kill her.” “Are you Paulus Yernese?” He was a tiny man. Clad in armor that seemed built for the man his father had hoped he would become. “I am. Who is asking good sir?” He moved closer to his knight, and his hand moved towards his scabbard. Good. At least the boy had some sense in his head. “You may not know me Paulus. I am Leofrich Nune the third of his name. I was once of Nunendorf.” “I know of what occurred at Nunendorf. Traitors were you not?” “Think of me what you will. In time all truth comes out. What I am here to tell you is that you are a single choice away from becoming a monster.” The big knight stepped forward. “Careful how you speak to my lord, sir.” “I do not mean to insult him.” I held my hands up. Paulus put his hand on the knight’s shoulder and the man stepped back into line. “Speak what you have come to say.” Paulus was nervous. A boy this young. He may have never been in a confrontation like this before. Surrounded by armed men. Inside safe walls. He didn’t know conflict. “You have brought the princess Alice Lovie to Castle Hosidius. Are you aware of what the outcome of her coming here is to be?” Now was my time to put my hand to my swords pommel. His men and him clearly noticed as the big knight pulled his sword from his scabbard and aimed it in my direction. “What of the princess have you heard Leofrich?” His voice was shaking. The look of shame crossed his eyes as she spoke. “What I hear does make me think good things about you Paulus.” “What is your interest in the princess?” “Same as what yours should be. I wish to keep her safe.” “As do I.” “Then explain why you brought her here to die.” |

“I wish we had more time. I wish I could explain all this. Please just know that I love you, and that I am truly sorry.” I reached for him, but he pulled away and smacked the horse. In response to this slap the horse begin riding with the rest of the group away from the gate. I tried to look back and catch a glimpse of him. I wanted to scream that I loved him too. Wanted to turn the horse around and jump into his arms. Instead, I watched as he moved towards the gatehouse. His form growing smaller and smaller with each passing second. |

Chapter 52
Edward Cullen
Chapter Details
Edward Cullen is the POV Character of this chapter and during this chapter with the city of Hogwarts in chaos following the Tri-wizard tournament its Hilary, and Edward that can get out of the city without being stopped making their way out of Hogwarts. They made their way to Fudsatan where the Kirin Tor contingent had retreated to following the destruction of the Portal Network of Hogwarts. Arriving at Fadustan they found the city was crowded as thousands were fleeing into the city from the area trying to escape the roving bands of Death Eaters recruiting and terrorizing the landscape. The Kirin Tor contingent was outside the city in a small camp where they were working to summon the Magical portal that would take them back to Kirin Tor and entering their camp it was Cerin Menathil that greeted them. Cerin agreed that she would take them with her back to Kirin Tor to assist them in returning home, and with this Hilary and Edward went about helping them summon the portal. As they finished summoning the portal it was the Death Eater Cyprus Nightshade that arrived with a group of soldiers from House Nightshade. Cyprus offered the Kirin Tor great treasure and reward if they assisted the Deatheaters in fighting with them in the now expanding civil war. It was Medivh Flowers that would reject this offer sending Cyprus and his soldiers away, and when Cerin asked him why he rejected the offer it was Medivh that told her that you never made deals with demons. The portal was eventually completed, and the group all went through the portal returning to Kirin Tor. Arriving at Kirin Tor the two were amazed at the scope of the city, and despite wanting to stay in Kirin Tor and see what the fortress had to offer they both knew they needed to go home, and thus said goodbye to Cerin and left for Lucerne. Using their Magi abilities, they would fly towards Lucerne using a Kirin Tor flying wagon travelling from Kirin Tor towards Lucerne. Flying through the day and night the pair would sleep in the wagon as they travelled with wagon travelling automatically to the marker the pair had made north of Brill. Most of the trip the pair is silent as Hilary is deep in reading while Edward is overcome with the trauma of what happened to him in the graveyard. Edward and Hilary stop in Brill first where they meet with Hilary's family of whom have not seen her for many months, and Edward watches as the Swift family is overjoyed to see them. Spending several weeks in Brill its Edward that wants badly to return home but knows that Hilary needs this time with her family and thus doesn’t rush her. During this time its Edward that gets to know Hilary’s sister Taylor Swift of whom has many questions about William, and Edward believing that Taylor is just crushing on the prince tells Taylor things about William which allow Taylor to form an even more close connection with William within the Fade. After two weeks at Brill, they leave Hilary’s family in a tearful goodbye and make their way once more by the wagon to the city of Gulltown where Hilary’s father has arranged for them to travel to Lucerne with House Shephard. The two arrive in Gulltown where they are greeted by several members of House Shephard of whom will be accompanying Edward and Hilary to Lucerne where a member of their family will be going to the school. Moving northward travelling by boat down the Kilgor River, and then moving to the Great Royce River it was the group that made quick movement towards Nortbug where they would then travel by carriage to Lucerne. Edward, Hilary and Claire Shephard arrive at Nortburg and while Claire is greeted by several members of House Shephard and friends at the gates no one is waiting for Edward outside the gates which shocks him and brings about the first pangs of fear about his position returning to Lucerne. Saying goodbye to Claire it is Edward and Hilary that make their way now from Nortburg to Lucerne and arriving at the city they are met by a large shanty town located just off the road. Shocked at so many people homeless Edward is made even more confused when inside the city through the massive tunnel of Lucerne and moving inside the city he can't help but notice it appears more worn down then when he left, and the number of homeless people have gone up immeasurably from when he had left. Traveling to the Lucerne Hold he is once again shocked when he sees the Gate to Lucerne Hold has turned into a fortress and going to the guard there, he is unable to get inside Lucerne Hold as he doesn't have papers proving his residency but is able to convince a guard who he is and the guard leaves to get his father. Sitting together on the ground across from the Lucerne Hold gatehouse Hilary tries to console Edward of whom is coming to quickly understand that things had changed for him, and after an hour his father arrives with several men at arms and Floronius Sentius of whom Edward remembers fondly as a man that raised him far more then Carlisle ever did. Carlisle, and Floronius can get Edward and Hilary through the gate and take them back to the Cullen Estate as despite Edward wanting to see his friends its Carlisle his father who tells them that won't be possible tonight. Arriving home he finds Blake Cullen his twin sister waiting for him, and while at first she appears kind and gentle once Hilary is taken to her room to go to sleep Blake takes Edward outside to the gardens and slaps him the face before the two argue as it is clear that she has a lot of bitterness towards him, and as their argument continues she begins lashing out describing all the cruel feelings of his former best friends and eventually overcome with sadness over what his sister says to him he retreats to his room where he hides himself under the bed. Hiding there he begins crying while realizing that his entire life may have fallen apart and makes a wish for the night that things will get better for him tomorrow. The next morning Edward gets up before his sister can say anything to him and accompanied by Floronius and another man at arm of House Cullen. Edward is alarmed by this, but Floronius tells him that he cannot go out alone right now with the recent riots in Lucerne Proper. The group makes their way towards the Cloud Tower where he is excited but also very nervous to meet his friends again. While walking he and Floronius discuss the riots with Edward learning the situation is as dire as it looked when he entered the city yesterday but when Florononius is pressed on what has caused all this change he gets silent, and Edward doesn't push him. Arriving at the entrance to the Sky Towers Edward once again sees signs of the times as the once lightly guarded walls of the Sky Towers have doubled in height and the number of guards is remarkable. Going to the gate guard he suddenly realizes he is going to struggle to get in without anyone remembering him, but this fear is misplaced when he is recognized by Draco Highmore and brought inside the gates. Edward doesn't have any time to prepare as he finds William, Jasper, Leven, Dylan, and Emmett playing Dopelkaf a card game. The chapter ends with Edward swimming out of the water, and looking for Hostella and Byron he doesn't find either which confuses him but he assumes they went to go and get a drink or food and he sits down and picks up the book that Hostella was reading. His reading is interupted by William and the Shadow council arriving with Byron among them and seeing Byron without
