My love,

As I write this you are asleep. If the light wakes you, I’ll have some explaining to do, but at this moment you are sleeping peacefully. Tomorrow is the day, it seems–the culmination of five long years, our moment of revenge. So why can I not quiet this part of me which fears that, at the tipping point, you will flinch?

Is it that I fear you loved my father less than I? Or do I doubt your resolve to strike the killing blow? I do not think so. Rather I fear that you have lost so much already that you cannot bear to lose more. I think that you would let Germain rule France if you thought it would ‘save’ me.

Have you ever known me to need saving? Have you ever had cause to think that I would accept it if it were offered? My fate is my own. My choice is my own.

If somehow we both return from this, I will burn this letter. If you are reading it now, then I made my choice there in the Temple. Know that I made it gladly, and do not take the burden of it onto yourself. Be at peace, my love, and walk what path you will.

All my love,
Élise

Liam: That was… lucky.

Shay: How many times do I have to tell you, Liam? I make my own luck.

Liam: And how’d you do that, you bastard!? You broke the Assassins. Betrayed everyone you knew… You sided with our worst enemies… And for what?

Shay: To save the world.

Liam: I hope that world is a good one.

Give us all the sad AC music! More feels, please. Anything sad that comes to your mind.

allsoundsasscreed:

This one is pretty sad.

This one too.

You’ll need some tissues for this one.

Here’s another tearjerker.

Oh no, the FEELS.

You hear that? The sound of your heart shattering.

Toilet paper might be a better option than a tissue for this one.

Your heart won’t be able to handle this one.

This will have you wailing until the end of time.

Your tears will save my town’s lake from drought with this.

Remember this one? Your tear ducts do.
