Third target ❖dream
[Her hood is pulled low as she walks through a darkened street, press of the crowd around her as she pushes her way past men with heavy boxes and ladies with long dresses that sweep across dirty ground. She blends with the crowd and they are none the wiser as to who moves through them, not even the guards, resplendent in their bright armour, Borgia insignia.
A herald talks, preaching and there is a nearby bench two men on it and she sits between them, hands clasped and head bowed as she takes a moment to listen to him.]
Attenzione, attenzione! The assassino has been sighted on the streets of Roma with many wanted posters placed on buildings. If sighted, a member of le guardie should be informed. This man is very dangerous, please be cautious and vigilant.
[She smirks, gets to her feet and as the man begins to give further announcements about outbreaks of plagues in other city states, she approaches and palms him a few florins to which he nods. She makes her way through the crowd once more until people run, the clash of steel in the air, ruins of a Borgia tower in the background. But that is not where her attention lies.
Her attention is focussed on a young woman, fighting against the guards, all angeer and youth standing up for her livelihood or her business and she joins in, long years of practice and experience as her hidden blade punches through the throat of a guard from behind. It startles the others enough for the young woman to cut another guard open. She switches to her sword, slicing open the belly of the remaining guard as his innards spill out onto the dirty Rome street.
When it's over, she kneels before Ezio.]
The liberation of Roma has begun.
[Her hand on the woman's shoulder urges her to stand, bloodied weapons put away, guards dead around them.]
I still breathe thanks to you. What skill I have is yours, if you will have me.*
[Ezio nods, points to where the woman should head to and adjusts her cape and hood as she leaves the bodies behind. A bard spots her and is already in pursuit, strumming away on his lute.]
