Altair suddently seated on the bench, nex to a young

boy who was playing with a wooden toy. “Hello!”, the boy said, surprised for such unexpected companion.“Hello, kid. What’s your name?”

“Sadir, sir. And this is Troy”, the young boy answered, shaking his wooden horse.

“Troy, huh?” Altair smiled. “Good name for a horse”.

“Well, my dad said it was the horse of Troy, so…”. Then a group of armored soldiers appeared behind the street corner, shouting orders, groaning curses. “Are those soldiers looking for you?”, the boy asked.

“Aye, they are.” Altair raised his sight under the white hood, staring at the near patrol. They didn’t noticed his presence… for the moment.

“Why? Did you do something bad?”, Sadir leaned the head, his chesnut eyes full of curiosity. He inevitably noticed the blood stains on Altair’s sleeve.

“Somehow…” The assassin turned his voice down. “It was bad for them. But is good for the rest of the people”, he tried to explain while the soldiers keep moving around without realize about his presence. “You see, Sadir. Sometimes one must do horrible things, so the world doesn’t turn into something even worse.”

“Hmmm… that sounds complicated.” Sadir sighed. “But you don’t look like a bad guy. What’s your name?”

“My name is Altair.”

“I like your name, Altair. It’s even better than Troy!” Sadir laughed lowly. The soldiers finally kept moving foward, missing their prey behind. Altair relaxed immediately.

“Thank you, Sadir. I must go now.”, Altair stood up, and sincerely said: “I praise your courage and discretion. I won’t forget it.”

“Goodbye, Altair.” Sadir drew a smile in his face. “Nice to meet you!”.

Altair smiled one last time, and bowed his head under the white hood, before getting lost among the people.
