"...sheep making themselves inconspicuous to a wolf distracted by more important things." Yeeesssss. The other assassin's being intimidated by Malik is GREAT; it's not just Altair who gets the side of his tongue.
"He knows the hardships and mutual pain people must share to reach this kind of understanding with each other, the kind that goes deeper than words." *whines* Poor Altair and Malik, you write them so honestly emotional here.
Second time reading this, I love the little hints you're dropping in Ezio POV that it's really Des in there. The horror story foreshadowing with Des's wet stomach kills me too. OH NOES.
“But I think I can still try.” & "Desmond gets up and walks back into the blackness." YOU GO DES, TAKE THAT DESTINY AND MAKE IT YOUR BITCH. WOOOOOOO!
(Whereupon some poor descendent of Desmond’s rolls out of the Animus 6.2 and has a stiff drink.) :D
