Silenzio. Silenzio. Twenty-two years ago, I stood where I stand now – and watched my loved ones die, betrayed by those I had called friends. Vengeance clouded my mind.

But it is our ability to choose – whatever you think is true – that makes us human... There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the path. Choose your own way! Do not follow me, or anyone else. – Ezio Auditore da Firenze	added by anonymous 3 years ago

But, we did not end. – David Pilgrim	added by anonymous 3 years ago
