"Nothing is true; Everything is permitted."
The creed, three simple rule's. The basis of a faction, a faction of the shadow's. They call us assassin's, they call us murderer's ... we fight for peace, but is that so hollow, so trivial a cause? No, it is not. Our enemies think it that way ...
The first of the three maintain's order and ensure's that our kind stay on the right path. "Stay your blade from innocent flesh."
The second is what give's us strength, for it allow's us to accomplish our task's with little difficulty. A blade in the crowd, if you will. "Hide in plain sight."
The third is the most important, the worst of all betrayal's. To break this code is to betray the brotherhood. "Never compromise the brotherhood."
To follow these key rule's is to be a true assassin, to derive your strength from what you truly are. Now my brother, you have entered the fold. Betray it and you life shall be stolen by my blade. As you already know, it is the Third Crusade. Richard and Saladin, leader's of the opposing faction's, fight a war that shake's the Holy Land's very foundation's. They are not our enemies, yet they are the incarnation of what we fight to prevent. Crusader and Saracen alike, neither and both are our enemies.
Remember, there is no greater weapon than to be unseen. Stay amongst the crowd, sheath your blade and walk silent. Approach your enemy, strain your left hand into position and focus. Control the adrenaline, you must compensate for it's adverse affect's. Clench your fist and bring your hidden blade forward, bend your leg's and release your energy. Ensure it is a clean kill, ensure that your blade connect's with their neck.
A masterful kill to be sure, but now you must flee. To stay and fight is to die, so be swift as the wind you must. Take to the rooftop's if need be, just ensure you follow the first of the creed. Kill your pursuer's if need be, but control your blade. Such is the way of our kind, a hidden blade which require's speed and focus to handle. Thrust it into your enemies heart, then withdraw it back into the shadow's. Understand this and you understand our way's, but remember to expect the unexpected. Learn what you can and ensure your cover is not compromised before the blade connect's.
Of course, fleeing is not alway's an option and sometime's the Guard's will surround you from all side's. This is when to draw your blade and bring it to their's, wait for an opening and strike. Defend and counter, do not leave yourself vulnerable. Of course these are basic thing's and I can guarantee almost every kill you accomplish will not be so and that is why our strength can also be derived from being able to adapt. Remember, each piece of your equipment has it's use and that each opponent has it's strength's.
Your hidden blade give's ample opportunities to eliminate your opponent silently, whilst your long sword truly shine's in a sword fight. Your throwing dagger's and crossbow afford's you range, giving you the perfect tool's to strike from afar. Your short sword offer's a more swift strike than your sword, yet make's it difficult to defeat many enemies at once.
The rest is for you to learn, for you to know. Heed these word's of advice, these rule's and you will succeed. Fail and you will become as ill-disciplined as a drunk with a blade. Live on into the dark horizon, as shadow's fall upon the Holy Land ... but remember the most important thing of all.
