THOSE WHO REMAIN: MIRAGE ( Warrior Nun X Assassins Creed )

Origins

Areala meditating in a cave that its calmness vanished once the sound of the swords came near it interrupting her then she stand up on her feet taking cover behind a wall witnessing the fight and little conversation between altair and al mualim

" Finish me altair, you won't last against him, remember my words " he points his sword against altair

" We were blind because we believed you are our guidance to the truth, you are a shame on our order "

altair swings his sword at al mualim who dodges and in return avoids al mualim hit, they both spin around each other predicting one another move

" This reminds me of the old days when i had a duel with my mentor, in the end he fell like a fragile statue " Al mualim said

" Fragile men relies on the others, if you were not like your master you wouldn't use us for your selfish desires "

altair encounters al mualim attack then throwing a hit back at al mualim that he encountered

" Join me ibn la ahad, join me and he will deliver you from the catastrophe " al mualim gives Altair a chance who mocked him by saying

" If he could, why wouldn't he deliver you from me first ? pray to him "

Areala stood in her place watching the fight that'll either end one of them

" Basim ? " he said

Basim Replies back " What are you doing altair ? "

Altair " This person deceived us, he broke our tenets by dealing with a fraud god "

Basim " Fraud god ? you mean adriel ? "

Altair " How come you know him ? "
