A Ninja's Reveng(closed)

Fiona took a deep breath before she walked out in the back. She smiled at Ronin as she moved forward towards him before stopping beside him.

The master of the Bureau stepped forward when she was finally there and spoke the ancient words. "Laa shay'a waqi'un moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine. The wisdom of our Creed is revealed through these words. Today, we welcome a new Sister into our ranks. She has trained well and is ready to take our mark." Ronin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly through his nose. This was a momentous occasion. "Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember..."

Nothing is true." She replied with a smile. She couldn't believe she was finally going to be an assassin. This would be perfect if only her father were here...

"When other men are limited by morality or law, remember..." Said the master once more. Ronin's heart flipped in his chest. This was it. Fiona was finally going to become a full Assassin. He was excited and happy for her and a grin slipped onto his face.

"Everything is permitted." Fiona answered in a confident tone. She had been waiting for this day since she was old enough for her father to explain to her what she would become when she was a child.

The Master lifted his hands up for a moment before he brought them down behind his back and he recited another portion of their Creed. "We work in the dark to serve the light. We are Assassins." Every Assassin gathered echoed the Master's words and before long, one Assassin was stepping toward Fiona with the brand. It was time for her to accept the mark of an Assassin.

Taking a deep breath Fiona remembered her father's mark on his hand and out of instinct held her own hand out.

The Assassin with the brand nodded to Fiona and placed the brand over her ring finger where he marked her with the hot iron. When he pulled it away, all that was left was the mark of the Assassin.

(It will look like this but not as a tattoo as a brand)

As one, the Assassins took up their creed again, calling out that they worked in the dark to serve the Light. That they were Assassins. After everyone was done, Ronin stepped forward and handed off Fiona's new robes to her before he looked up to the roof. It was there that would seal the deal: a Leap of Faith.

Fiona went in to change into her clothes before she came back out to stand next to Ronin in hrt new uniform. She was ready for this and had actually practiced the leap of faith when she was young when she would jump from trees into piles of snow.

The Assassins one by one began to climb the buildings and took a leap of faith at different times and different places. Ronin was among them, taking a leap of faith off the roof of the bureau and into a barrel of hay before he jumped out and waited for Fiona. This would be her first leap as an Assassin of the creed.

Smiling Fiona made her leap off the roof and into a wagon of hay before climbing back out. Smiling she looked proud of herself. She was finally an assassin.

Ronin gave an approving nod at Fiona and smiled. He was proud of her. Now all that was left to do was rest for the day and head out again the next morning.

Claire came down the stairs rubbing her eyes when they were coming back in. She smiled at the two of them before her little stomach growled. "Um can I have something to eat?" She asked tilting her head.

Ronin ruffled her hair for a moment before he went into the kitchen and began to make something for lunch for all three of them. He came back a few moments later with a tray of an assortment of snacks and foods. "I didn't know what you all wanted so I made a bit of everything."

Claire's eyes widened at the food."Thank you, Ronin!" She said before she began to eat some of the food, filling her little belly up.

Fiona smiled as she watched. She was impressed at how good he was with children and it made her love him all the more.

Ronin ruffled the child's hair for a moment before he took a bite of the food himself. Then he wandered back into the kitchen for drinks and came out with three glasses; one with juice for Claire and the other two with water. He set two of the three on the table before he took a drink of the remaining glass. "We'll remain here until nightfall so rest up." The reason he was leaving that soon was simply because he didn't trust this town, especially with what he had to kill back in the forest.

Fiona yawned as she sat back on the sofa staring at the fire. "If we have time... And if we are ever close enough I would like to make a small trip to my old home." She said talking about the old burnt house where she and Ronin had meet when she was visiting her parents grave.

"Of course." Ronin said with a nod.

Wonderful, I have plans for that place." She said with a smile as she looked up at him. Smiling she moved over and patted the seat beside her for him to sit down.

"Oh?" Ronin sat beside her and looked at her curiously. He was interested to hear what she had planned.

Yes, I would like to make it a home again and perhaps a place for traveling Assassins to rest while going from one place to another. It had so many rooms that it would be plenty big enough." She said with a smile.

Ronin thought about it for a while before he gave an approving nod. "That actually sounds perfect." He said simply. "Although, you would have to trick traveling Templars so that they don't suspect it's full of Assassins."

I'm not worried about it." She told him with a smile. "It will just be good to see that place back to what it use to be." She said looking sad for a moment.

Ronin smiled. She definitely had plans. (Sorry. Not feeling any muse right now)

Eventually, Fiona fell asleep, leaning on him. She knew they were leaving soon and wanted to get as much rest as she could before they left.
