Salve, Assassini!

Assalamualaikum...
Hello there cunning readers...
I know, been such a long time since I wrote anything inspirational *cough cough
Anyway, FACEPALM!

As you all may not know, I am a fan of games. Video games, sheesh..don't get all mushy with me...
So I just want to write a piece of mind on what I think of a game that am currently playing and loving, Assassin's Creed...

Before you ask me anything, I haven't played number 3 and yes, I am totally psyched for AC4: Black Flag!
(Cut me some slack, I'm working on it...) Can't wait, I heard it's gonna be epic!

I just, dunno where to start..naturally, there would be the upsides and the flops of everything, I admit it...but I would view those flops as mistakes humans would make in life..On the contrary, I'd rather see the beauty in things...

For the most part, I love it. I love the setting, the graphics, the music, the missions..but most importantly, I love the characters they managed to create and make them grow inside of the players worldwide...Basically, there are four major ones, which three are from the past and the one main in the present...

I can go on and on about this stuff. I can talk about every single one of them (except Connor of course coz' I haven't played his side of the story yet, so duh..wait for me! :) )

Altair Ibn La-Ahd. The first Assassin that I was introduced. To me, he will forever be known as a great mentor. Even though during his youth, he was at a span of time known as someone arrogant and stubborn, but he really came to my liking when he redeemed himself and became a better person yet, a better Assassin. He managed to lead the creed to not be astray from the right path, and during his time, he knew love, honour, and betrayal. He died still protecting the creed. Alone, but  it managed to keep the dangerous secrets hidden from the prying eyes of the enemy.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The second Assassin I knew. Every time I remember him, he just makes me crack! What a soulful spirit during his young age. Cocky, charming and cunning. Even when his happiness was ripped away by the betrayal on his family, which costs his dear father, and two of his brothers lives. He only saw red at the beginning, slaughtering everyone that betrayed his family's trust. But in time, when he grew, and we gamers grew alongside him, he became one of the greatest Assassin's ever lived! He was epic. Even when he missed the stuff a normal man should do, it was still worth it. He still managed to restore the Assassin's order and later, obtained precious knowledge from his adventures. Even if his life was bitter from the dawn of time to the end, he managed to obtain happiness. Although died in such a tragic way, he was happy and that's all that matters.

If I ever got to meet the individuals who created this game, I would literally salute them and utterly congratulate them on their efforts. In the world of gaming, not only the technical aspects were looked into, but the story. The story matters the most, because it can be a sort of memory, or a lesson to anyone who plays it. I know, I'm a girl and I cry easily, but hey, at least a game can make us feel, not like when people always say that whoever plays a game would literally turn into a mindless zombie.

No.

There's so much more than that. Games can open up one's mind. It depends on how someone looks at the game. To me, I take it all in. I even got to learn a new language! I cherish every moment of the game, and I damn well tell it to others. People are often engrossed with the stories I tell. Even if they were made up, as if they didn't really happen in reality, they were still precious.

Altair and Ezio will always be embed in my mind and heart, and their stories will live forever!

Remember,

"Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted..."

the words, which came deeply from the depths of my heart, an unsung Assassin...
