As James walked away Lancer sat there and began his task of watching over Amina but before long he noticed something out of place. And by that time it was all too late. Lancer felt the presence of the enemy just as he appeared over his shoulder and it was a blur of motion. A dagger in the back, then the spine, a laceration across the front of his throat, and then finally darkness as the masked individual in a turban quickly finished his job that he had been assigned by his master. To kill one of the servants as soon as possible. The sooner the war was over the better. Assassin felt no remorse. No pity. He was as he always had been...a killer deep inside of his rotten soul. Be it Knights Templar, Sunni heretics, or another legendary figure it mattered little to him. He had stopped caring when he picked up his mask way back a long time ago. Perhaps Lancer may have fared a better opponent...if not for his foolish lull into calmness. As Lancer fell down off the perch they shared Assassin had no regrets for surprising him like this. It had to be this way.

 He then turned his attention towards the woman walking away from the other master who was heading away from them....he could settle him at a different time. A message to the church, and to the people on this damnable crusade would learn to fear him. Perhaps there was someone else nearby watching...No he couldn't get greedy. As he dropped down from his perch, and cloaked himself in shadows once more he moved forward. Silently. Plainly. And without a hint of reason the girl he knew nothing about felt the stab of his Janbiya dagger into her throat. He grasped her and held her steady as she died in his arms and he covered her mouth.

Allah I give this one to your judgement even though she is unworthy."[/color] quipped Assassin as he dropped her on the floor and looked back at the church just a fair distance away now. He shook his head. [color=8dc73f]"Death comes."[/color] grumbled Assassin as he vanished once more into the moon light his job finished...for tonight.
