"What do you want, Cora?" He snapped, slamming his fist on the table, making me jump slightly as he looked at me with his wild eyes. "You spend so much time now worrying about everyone else, but for once, will you please just ask yourself what you want?!" I looked at him, my face cold and set as my eyes pricked with tears. I would not cry, not again. "It does not matter what I want. It matters what I do, in the name of my country." I turned to go, pausing briefly to turn my head to face him. "And it's Avalyn. Not Cora." Cora had lived her life in a small village, praying for an escape, an adventure like in her stories.

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ASSASSIN'S CREED CHRONOS GO DO THAT IT'S THE PREQUEL: https://www.wattpad.com/story/31747666-assassin%27s-creed-chronos * Catherine thought she would live happily ever after with her family now that the Clock was destroyed and Rodrigo no longer a threat, but the Borgia are more tenacious and cruel than she realized. Her fight isn't over, but the odds are stacked against her. In a city ruled by the iron fist of their enemies, Catherine must face not only face the Templars, but also herself. EzioxOC My fans spoke, and I answered. Here is the sequel to Chronos. I didn't include this in the prequel due to the nature of this part of her life. Namely, because it doesn't involve the Clock. Not directly. This is a story about a young woman fighting to save her family. She's going to suffer some dark times, and it's going to challenge her relationship with Ezio in a very different way than before. As such, this story is going to involve some more mature themes. Some pretty dark scenes are going to happen or be alluded to, so here's your main warning. I'll try to warm ahead of chapters I feel may be particularly dark, but just know it's a darker tone over all (and also mature language). As usual, if you see any mistakes, please let me know! Editing is never 100% full proof, so I appreciate the help (sometimes my fingers/brain don't communicate well :() And don't be afraid to comment or share your opinion! I love hearing from y'all will do my best to reply to all your comments. :) Updates will be whenever I finish a new chapter, so hopefully on a weekly bases! Also, like with Chronos, I'll try to include more historically accurate events, which may involve skewing the game timeline. However, because this story is officially an alternate universe, I'm more willing to fudge things, but correct me if I get something that actually happened wrong! And with that all said, enjoy Assassin's Creed: Chronos_Retribution! -T.M.Wolf- - THE ARCHITECT Complete

The year is 1483 AD, ten years before Christopher Columbus's famous voyage to America. In Aztlan, the Aztecs have suffered significant changes in their social and religious climates. Under the weyitlatoani Moctezuma, Aztecs ceased sacrificing those that share their faith and began a renewed focus on education, prosperity, and the discovery and conquering of new lands. With this new focus came new ventures, and a floating city was built to sail across the seas in search of adventure and led by divine guidance. Eventually, this floating city would reach the shores of Portugal. The Portuguese were wrought with their own struggles at this time. The land was flooded with refugees who had fled the Reconquista and more who fled the looming Inquisition in the neighboring kingdom of Castile. The newly crowned Portuguese king, Joao II, was obsessed with the sea and the discoveries waiting across unknown waters. He dreamt of building Portugal into a new maritime superpower, but the kingdom's coffers were dry, and to rebuild the treasury, he turned to the wealthy landowners, forcefully ridding them of their property to support the building of new ships and funding voyages. At the time of our tale, Joao II has decided to strike against the wealthiest and most influential dynasty in Portugal, the House of Braganza. Duke Ferdinand II de Braganza was an influential advocate of new liberal ideals growing in Portugal and dreamt of building a new parliamentary democracy based on the Portuguese Cortes. When Joao II makes his move, de Braganza has no choice but to organize a rebellion and strike back. In this alternative historical fiction, the worlds of medieval Europe and Aztec civilization meet and clash, illuminating many questions for all ages. - Nomvula Complete
