Chapter 1: The Lost Assassin

''The Farm'', Black Hills, South Dakota, United States

Many people may have secrets, some are from the sins that they have committed, and others are of what they have seen or what they have done or do. Well this is place where everyone has a common secret that they all know and separate themselves from the outside world because of it, to train what they do. The secret that they hide is the Assassin Creed. But there is one child that dreams to escape this he calls a prison, all he ever does is train in the ways of the assassin, but wants to see the outside world. He was named Desmond Miles, but this focuses more on his cousin, only three years younger, his name was Eric Miles. One day these two boys had been playing near a rapid river, there was a rock hill that was about 7 feet high between the river and the boys.

-Eric was an 8 year old boy with short spiky hair going forward, he was young and full of joy, but very naive. He had brown eyes and somewhat tanned skin. Eric has barely begun his assassin training as Desmond, 11 years old, brown stubble hair with brown eyes and skin a little pale had been training for a couple of years.

Desmond had only watched his careless cousin walk along the tip of the hill, trying to practice his balance, Desmond continuously reminded his cousin to not to fall. As an adult from "The Farm"'s assassin order had seen what was happening.

''HEY! What do you think you're doing'' the man shouted as his scream had frightened Eric, who was standing along the top of the rock hill had fallen off. Desmond and the adult both tried to rush to the top of the rock hill to see if Eric had not completely fallen into the river because of the rapid waters it would be difficult to save Eric.

"HELP!" a voice shouted as they looked down and had spotted Eric clinging onto a rock, slowly slipping. "HANG ON!" the adult shouted, he tried to slowly get to the bottom as a small but rapid wave had made Eric let go of the rock, and at the same time, the adult reached for him, but was too late.

Eric only saw the adult and his cousin Desmond's paralyzed faces, shocked with fear, as in a few seconds, Eric was falling, it was a waterfall about 8 stories high. When Eric disappeared, out of sight, the adult and Desmond continued in their face of shock, walking towards "The Farm", to explain what had happened, everyone was devastated, and they all believed that Eric was dead.

At the bottom of the water of the roaring waterfall, the water continued to flow downwards as the young Eric was struggling to swim out of the water, surprisingly still alive. It was only until then that Eric had reached a lake lying atop of a hill. He struggled to surface as he was feeling a bit woozy. He finally got out in a bit of pain, but had fallen once again, rolling down the hill until reaching the foot of the hill, his back and his head making a devastating contact with a tree. A pain surged through his whole body as he lost consciousness, the world around him fading to black.
