Questions Remain, and the Wounds Run Deep 🧿 | Assassin’s Creed Mirage #shorts

Al Ghul's relentless pursuit at the expense of human lives has come to an end. It is a day of victory, not only for those spared of his cruelty, but for the hidden ones. The order's grand plot in Baghdad may still be a mystery, but we can at least be certain Al Ghul's role in it has been vanquished. I believe what he sought to uncover were more strange objects, like the one I took from the Winter Palace. What does the Order want with these relics of the past? And why guard them with so much effort? You are beginning to ask the right questions, Bassem. We shall find the answers together. Lately, all I have are questions. What do you mean? Nothing. Forget I said anything. How am I to guide you if you will not speak openly? I have. I have struggled with nightmares. In these dreams, a jinni torments me until I wake up panicked and soaked with sweat. In Alamut, I had nearly forgotten about it. But when I killed a rule, I felt its presence again, and I am left asking why? Why here? Why now? Why me? Piling questions and no answers. I meant to tell you what you were afraid I would think you weak of mind. We are only as weak as we allow ourselves to be, to shed a weakness. You must do what is necessary to mend that which causes you pain. Will you permit me a brief respite? I wish to seek out an old friend. Ni hao, I remember. She's important to you, isn't she? She is. But last we spoke, I led her to believe otherwise. This causes you pain. Then go and heal this wound without delay. Find me at the Harbor Bureau when it is settled.
