Given what happens in 2, Desmond and his rather quick absorption of fighting techniques (especially at the beginning and the end when he beats up/kills the Abstergo guards), I think he might be a little less helpless than you're making him out to be.

People are upset with you for "romance blocking" a man and his direct ancestor? This is a very sick fandom.

How would Altair become Desmond's direct ancestor if he is too busy fucking Desmond instead of the woman he married?

And I'm sure everyone around them in 12th century Syria would be completely fine with it, despite it likely having a penalty of death in any of the local religions of the time.

"For those of you who thought Altair might like Desmond"

So long as it's friendly and not "Oh, nothing turns me on more than my 40 (8 centuries times 5 generations per century equals a very rough number of 40) times great-grandfather." Just, no.

*Brunette.

"How he could kill another human being just to get away from danger."

To be fair, the man was trying to kill him, like, 5 minutes ago.

I really love the whole relationship between Malik and Desmond!

I really REALLY REEEEEAAAAALY like this story!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!

Looking forward to read more of this story !

(shivers) I can feel the foreboding and foreshadowing in this chapter. A storm is coming I'll bet. This chapter was very explatory and set a solid foundation to further build on. I'm excited to see what unfolds. Very interesting, good luck.

*gasp* Oh myyyyyy gosh! A chapter! (I'm in haven!) Also, Malik, ain't having any of Des, flippant attitude twords his technical capture and forcememt'. Ain't having it at all.
Desmond is a Marshmallow, and must be kept safe. (That is my decisive stance on this.)

Yayyyyy an update!

This is getting really good

Has Columbus even sailed to the Americas yet to discover it? Maybe not a good thing to say, but yet again saying you are from Europe would be bad.

I love when this updates. And Malik is making dez tell him everything. And come on dez do u really think Malik would throw you out. He basically adopted you. Man we were getting to the good part when Abbas interrupted. With him around troubles coming but hopefully Malik and Desmond can get rid of him quick. Thank you for the chapter! Wonderful job I can't wait for the next one! (:

j'adore Malik, il est si gentil avec Desmond.
je me demande ce qu'il va se passer avec Abbas, et si jamais il avait entendu l'histoire de Desmond.
en tout cas, j'ai hâte de lire la suite ! :D
merci pour ce chapitre !
