All roads lead to Rome.
The city where everything in history has, at one time, been involved with. Rome is the most holy of almost any place, holding some of Christ's most sacred artifacts, holding some of the world's most unknown knowledge. The Templars find this as a home under the guard, as they say, of God.
Here, an assassin will find no mercy to the hands of the guard, some of the greatest Templars reside here
What will you find in the city of beauty, trade, and murder? Everything and anything can happen within the walls.

Lino breathed in the fresh morning air as he stood on the roof of a building. He briefly gazed down at the young girl he'd rescued from the poverty and injustice of the streets only a month earlier. The older assassin smiled, in such a short time she'd progressed very well in her training, he'd even begun to think of her as his daughter and was very protective of her. His eyes returned to the city as he rubbed his stubbled chin.
"Well Adenia, it's going to be a long day, we should be off" Lino said, his voice deep and authoritative. Adenia looked up and nodded at the other assassin before standing. Quickly she brushed the back of her robes off before jumping from the roof. Lino turned and ran towards the west, jumping from roof to roof before disappearing down onto the streets.

Teodora stretched out on a hay-bail on a roof. she had fallen asleep here the previous night. she spent few minutes picking straw out of her hair and brushing her long dark hair out.
Teodora smiled greeted by the warmth of the morning sun, " maybe today will prove fruitful?" she said jumping to the streets below; browsing though the city crowds.

Christine woke up to see the sun rise on a new day and yawned as she got up from her makeshift bed in an ancient Roman bath. her stomach growled and she looked in her change purse, it might be enough but she didnt think so which meant she had to find someone to get some more money from. She walked past the Colloseo as she passed some guards on morning patroll and found her way to the Centro district which had more wealthy people to have their wallets lightened. she picked one and followed him and bumped into him taking his money in the process, it was good enough to fool him but not the guard that happened to be watching her, she took off through the alley ways but was cornered by another guard post. She considered climbing up one of the buildings but didnt think she had enough time...

Teodora was roaming the streets, everything seemed to be going well, while it really wasn't. she then decided to check above a tower and look out upon the city, there she saw, running through the streets a small young girl being pursued by two guards into a narrow alley way.
Teodora quickly jumped from her high perch to a building and jumped into one guard and struck her blade into the cavity of his neck, killing him and threw a knife into the others neck, before his blade was swung. she then closed her victims eyes said a prayer for them, " you there? are you alright?" she asked with little shortness of breath.

The guards dropped to the ground before Christine could react "Thank you but we should keep moving, some of the guards know my face. Lets head back to my place." she said to the woman who rescued her

Christine jogged off to her "base" and when she within the walls of the bathhouse she stopped and took a seat "Again thank you... are you an Assassin by chance?"

Adenia slowly walked the streets of Rome, taking in the sights and listening to the words of it's people. "I haven't run across Teodora in a while, I hope she's alright" the young girl said as she continued on her way. A large hand gripped Adenia's shoulder and spun her around. There stood a large, drunken man with the meanest look in his eyes.
"What have we here, a young whore walking the street by herself?" the man chuckled, Adenia instinctively covered her mouth and nose to keep his breath from entering her lungs. "Come on girl, let's have some fun" the drunk said, grabbing her wrist. Seconds later, blood began flowing from the drunk's hand before he released Adenia. The young Assassin sheathed her hidden blade and pulled the spear from it's sheath on her back. Before the man could even blink the sharp point of the weapon entered his throat and he fell to the ground, dying.
"Se fossi stato più attento con le tue parole si sarebbe ancora vivo" she mumbled before returning the weapon to her back and heading on her way

Teodora looked around, it was a old bathhouse this girl was living in, But she wasn't to surprised to see such things these days, But hearing the girls question she was quite taken by it, But still she shouldn't say she was such, " hmm... you can say I am a musician or sorts, so to speak?" she told the girl with a smile

"Well most musicans dont have blades hidden in their wrist bracers or can throw knifes that well... Do you at least know of some?" Christine asked making sure no guards had followed them

Lino jumped across the roofs, keeping a fairly good pace on his target. The man in front of him looked back briefly and stumbled. Lino caught up to the man and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck. A Templar cross hung loosely in plain view and Lino's eyes were drawn to it for a moment. This, however, was a moment to long as the man pulled sand from his pocket and threw it into Lino's eyes. Lino released the man and hissed as he began rubbing his eyes.
When Lino could see again, his eyes were very bloodshot and he was very upset. "No more games, it's time to end this" He said before he took off. Lino dropped down and quickly caught sight of his target. He'd taken refuge on the roof of what appeared to be an old bathhouse. Lino threw a knife, aiming for the man's leg. The knife struck into the man's ankle and he cried out in pain, loud enough for anyone to hear. But before the man could say anything else Lino was upon him, blade driving into his neck. No blood was visible on Lino's black robes as he arose and rubbed his eyes. Lino dropped from the roof and entered the bathhouse in hopes of finding some water to rinse his eyes.

Teodora rubbed the back of her and chuckled awkwardly, it seem that this child was smarter then she looked But Teodora question why this child was looking for them, " hmm... I May... But why are you looking for them-?" she questioned the girl before turning her head when she hear a blood curtailing scream in the distance that was quickly silenced.
she looked around cautiously, But soon saw a staggering figure, Bumping and bashing , she squinted her eyes to see the figure. But she soon realized who it was from his his stagger about him, " Lino?" she said watching him continuously rubbing his eyes. She then rushed to his side grabbing his arm, " stop rubbing it, here, wash it out with this?" she said putting a large skin flask of water into his hands.

"And I thought today would be boring... Be careful where you get your water from around here though, not all of it is clean." Christine said to Teodora and this other man she seemed to know, he seemed, different, though.

Lino did as Teodora instructed and stopped rubbing his eyes. He pulled his hood down and poured the water on his face and eyes, helping in washing out the sand. Lino blinked a couple of times, thing still slightly blurry. His normally bright blue eyes seemed dull and were very bloodshot. "T-thanks" he said before handing the skin flask back. Lino pulled his hood back up and wiped the remaining water from his face, taking care not to cut himself with his clawed gauntlet.
