The Bloodstained Wolf

"Of course it would be alright" Günther said with a small smile as he looked down at her. "Is this something you would prefer to do alone, or would you prefer for me to join you" Günther asked curiously. He didn't mind either way.
Meanwhile, Günther's men managed to get everything back to the ship, and were now preparing to set sail.

I wouldn't mind if you came along." She said with a smile as she began walking towards the old village. She remembered being on the beach playing when Ah Tabai arrived on the beach. He scooped her up and it was as he turned to take her back to the village that she had seen the ships. Stopping she turned to look around. "He brought me here, to my mother before gathering those who could fight and my mother took me with those who couldn't fight to a ship... At some point I dropped a doll my father had given me before he died."

Günther quietly followed Eden, listening to her as she explained what had happened that day. He understood her desire to find something as trivial as a doll simply because it was one of the few things she had left of her father. He knew that their chances of finding the doll were slim as the elements or animals had probably destroyed it by now, nonetheless, he helped her search for it.
"Is... is your mother still with us" Günther asked curiously as he looked around for the doll.

Yes, she stays in the village where she's safest." Eden explained as she continued to search. "She was injured a couple of years ago during an attack which meant we needed to move again to where we are located now." She explained before continuing. " She walks with a cain now and her health has not been the best in the last year..."

Günther listened to Eden speak of her mother, and of her injury due to the attack.
"I would love to meet her one day. Surviving three Templar attacks, and raising you... she must be a remarkable woman" Günther said with a small smile before he continued his search.
He spied a flash of colour amongst the dirt and plants, and studied it for a moment before picking it up and carefully dusting it off. "Blümelein..."

Eden smiled. "I'm sure you can meet her after you meet with my mentor." She said with a smile. "I'm sure she will love you." She continued to search for the doll but stopped as he called for her. "Did you find it?" She asked as she hurried over to him.

"I think so. It's a bit worse for wear, but... I think it's still fixable" Günther said as he held out the doll for Eden. He felt bad for Eden, that she would see something so special to her in such a state... Nein, it will be fixed, I promise. And... I look forward to meeting her and your mentor."

Taking the doll she looked down at it with a slowly growing smile. She looked up at him as he promised he would fix the doll for her. "That would be greatly appreciated... When I lost her, that's when my nightmare started..." She said as she hugged the doll gently. "I'm sure they'll both like you... I am waiting for Ah Tabai to send word to me that he's ready."

"Hopefully it's return will ease your nightmares. I hope he sends word soon" Günther said before looking to where they had come from. "Shall we make our way to the ship?" He dipped into a small bow, and held out his hand for Eden to take.

"I'm sure he will. He is waiting on word from the other Mentors of the world." She said with a smile as she took his hand, blushing a little as she still held the doll in her hands. "Lead the way." She said as she smiled up at him.

"Mentors of the world huh? I wonder if there's any Assassins in Germany" Günther wondered aloud as he gently took Eden's hand and began leading her back to the ship.
He didn't really have anything to remember his family, only his name and his memories. Although, with his lands in Templar hands, his name didn't mean much. Nonetheless he was glad to have helped Eden find the doll her father had given her.

"I don't think there are... If I'm right the Templars currently have full control of your home country..." She said as she walked with him back to his ship, holding the doll close to her chest as they walked back to the water.

"I would not be surprised if that were the case, and if they had wiped out the German Assassins. They almost wiped us out" Günther said with a sigh as they approached the rowboat. He carefully helped Eden into the rowboat, before climbing in, and rowing them to the ship.

"These men... this is all that's left of the Teutonic Order" Günther explained sadly as they reached the ship. His men started hoisting up the rowboat with the two of them still in it. "This is why we hunt them so relentlessly."

I understand... I believe your order and my brotherhood can work together to achieve a common goal." She explained as they were hosted back up. Once on board she stepped out of the row boat and smiled as she waited for Gunther.

"This is true. At the very we will work with the Brotherhood until we have regained our numbers" Günther said as he climbed onto the deck and joined Eden. His men immediately returned to their posts, and waited for his orders. Günther looked to Eden with a small smile, before looking to his quarters, then to Eden with a warm smile. "You are more than welcome to make yourself at home whilst on my ship, Blümelein." Günther made his way to his quarters, and carefully unlocked it before opening it for Eden. "Should you wish to make any changes, you are welcome to."

She smiled as she walked to his quarters with him. "Thank you, Gunther." She said with a smile. "I'll come out and join you soon." She said as she stepped inside. She wanted a moment alone. Taking a seat she sat there and looked down at the doll in her hands. She couldn't believe he had found it. She never thought she would see it again and couldn't wait to see it fixed.

Günther dipped his head in understanding, and made his way to the helm. He barked some orders to his men, and soon they were off. Günther carefully eyed every ship they passed, as did several of his men. So far, they only came across naval vessels. He was hoping they'd come across one of the men he'd encountered in Havana.

Setting the doll down she stepped back out on deck before making her way up to where Gunther was. She noticed him searching the ships they passed and tilted her head curiously. "Looking for a certain ship?" She asked as she stopped to stand beside him.

Günther stood at the helm, with Eberhard at his side as they discussed the ships they passed.
"We were in Havana about a week ago, and noticed the heavy Templar presence. We're hoping to catch a Templar vessel on it's way out" Günther explained as he looked to Eden. His little message he had left them when he first met Eden was sure to start drawing them out like the worms that they were. "After all, they should have heard of our... invitation by now."

She nodded. "Havana is crawling with Templars... what invitation?" She asked curiously as she looked up at him. She was curious what they had done to get the Templars attention. She didn't mind standing with him and fighting, if he did manage to get their attention.

"Remember the day we met? I'd attacked that Templar ship you were on, strung them to crosses and set them alight? That was my invitation to the schweine." Günther looked to a ship flying Spanish colours, and studied it carefully before turning to Eberhard and instructed him to fly their colours: a black cross on a white background.

Exclient, maybe i'll get to kill a Templar today." She teased as she looked up to watch the ship in the distance. She had yet to kill a Templar as an Assassin and was looking forward to the opportunity.

Eberhard looked at Eden with wide eyes as if she'd gone mad, meanwhile Günther was blushing like a madman.
"I'd love nothing more than to see you in action against those schweine" Günther chuckled, still blushing wildly.
"Sucht euch ein Zimmer, ihr zwei(find a room you two)" Eberhard groaned before gesturing to a ship that had turned towards them, "you might have some luck."

She looked to have the utmost confidence in herself, her eyes locked on the Templar ship as they quickly began to catch up with them. She stood there patiently as the ship got closer and closer, her hand resting on the sword at her side.

Günther turned the ships wheel, and aimed straight for the approaching Templar ship as his men unfurled all the sails. The Nachtjäger rammed into the Templar brig at full speed, both ships shaking from the impact. Whilst they were still close to the Templar vessel, they unleashed a volley of broadside and heavy shot straight into the hull of the Templar vessel.
"DER HERR IST EIN SCHATTEN ÜBER DEINER RECHTEN HAND(The Lord is a shadow over your right hand)" Günther roared over the sound of the cannons earning a cheer from his men.
"UND WIT SIND DAS SCHWERT DIESER HAND!(And we are the sword of this hand)"
