allsoundsasscreed:

Altaïr: The Templars have retaken their archive on Cyprus. Abbas sent no reinforcements. It was a massacre.

Maria: Oh my God…

Altaïr: Maria, when we left Masyaf ten years ago, this Order was strong. But all our progress has been undone.

Maria: Abbas must answer for this.

Altaïr: Answer to whom? The Assassins obey only his command now.

Maria: Resist your desire for revenge, Altaïr. Speak truth and they will see their error.

Altaïr: He executed our youngest son, Maria! He deserves to die!

Maria: Perhaps. But if you cannot win back the Order by honorable means, its foundation will crumble.

Altaïr: You are right. Thirty years ago I let passion overtake my reason. And it caused a rift that has never fully healed.

Maria: Speak reasonably, and reasonable men will listen.

Altaïr: Some will, but not Abbas. I should have expelled him thirty years ago when he tried to steal the Apple.

Maria: But you earned the respect of the other Assassins because you let him stay.

Altaïr: How do you know this? You were not there.

Maria: I married a masterful storyteller.

ubicumque-felix:

“Ah, the truth is out already! Abbas wants the Apple for himself. Not to open your minds, but to control them!
