Malik: Safety and peace, Altaïr.

Altaïr: Upon you as well, Brother.

Malik: Seems fate has a funny way with things.

Altaïr: So it’s true then. Robert de Sablé is in Jerusalem.

Malik: I’ve seen the knights myself.

Altaïr: Only misfortune follows that man. If he’s here, it’s because he intends ill. I won’t give him the chance to act.

Malik: Do not let vengeance cloud your thoughts, Brother. We both know no good can come of that.

Altaïr: I have not forgotten; you have nothing to fear. I do not seek revenge, but knowledge.

Malik: Truly you are not the man I once knew.

Altaïr: My work has taught me many things, revealed secrets to me. But there are still pieces of this puzzle I do not possess.

Malik: What do you mean?

Altaïr: All the men I’ve laid to rest have worked together, united by this man. Robert has designs upon the land, this much I know for certain. But how and why, when, and where, these things remain out of reach.

Malik: Crusaders and Saracens working together?

Altaïr: They are none of these things, but something else. Templars.

Malik: The Templars are a part of the Crusader army.

Altaïr: Or so they’d like King Richard to believe. No, their only allegiance is to Robert de Sablé, in some mad idea that they will stop the war.

Malik: You spin a strange tale.

Altaïr: You have no idea, Malik. But tell me where they’ve been seen. I should be after him before he slips away.

Malik: Three places I can say for certain. West of here, near both a guard tower and a hospital. And to the southwest, at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. See what you can learn. I will do the same.

Altaïr: I’ll be quick as I can.

Malik: Stay safe, my friend.

Jacob: You flatter yourself.

Starrick: I would have created a paradise.

Evie: The city belongs to the people. You are but one man.

Starrick: I am at the very top of the Order.

Jacob: You were, Mr. Starrick. You were.

This will be my non-queued post for this week.

Thank you for all the birthday messages. I’ll be blunt, this is not a good day for me and many people out there. I woke up this morning ashamed of being a citizen of a country where many voted that who I am, who I love, and what I believe in are wrong, and should be taken away and destroyed.

However, I’m not going to consider this the worst birthday I’ll ever have or the end. I have friends and family that still love me, wishing and giving me all the best today, and I firmly believe that there are people out there who will do what they can to help one another, and fight back whatever shit show we will be thrown at in the upcoming months

While we have the right to be sad, angry, disappointed, and terrified, remember to still say your pleases and thank yous, offer help, ask for help, greet people you meet, apologize if necessary, be kind, listen to others. Treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Also remember that everything you have worked for are not lost. You, your dreams, and your beliefs are still important and valid. After all, it’s our ability to choose–what you think is true–that makes us human.

Thank you again, and happy birthday to Jacob and Evie Frye.
