Description
“I thought I could trust him. I thought together we could've forged something better. I thought that after all that had happened, things would only keep looking up. But no. He betrayed my trust. He saw power and took it for his own. The nation is at war, torn apart by ideals of how to treat our fellow humans, and there he is on the side of slavers. There he is, disappeared into the ether. Why didn't I stop it? Why didn't I do more? I'm a failure. What do I have to do? What can I do? I have to protect this proud Union from him. I failed my friends. What's even the point of trying? The rebels approach my home as we speak. I must take action. But what could I possibly do to make up for what I lost? I am Carter. I am Priscilla. I am shattered…”

Hey! Lookie there! A new short story fanfic to add to the Project Thunderbird storyline! How lovely! ^^ Before I say anything else, I just want to give a special thanks to my friend Brandon for letting me use his OC, Jackson McCride, in this story.
So, I've taken a liking to writing these short stories that go along with the main fanfics, like when I wrote “The Tyranny of King Connor” to go alongside “Anthem”. I dunno. It's just a fun little add on thing that I like to do They're kinda like the equivalent of all the big dlcs that Ubisoft releases for each main AC game, and something about that I just find charming for some reason.
Anyways! This is the short story for “Nothing Less”. It takes place the day after the main story ends, when everything that went down sends me into a depression cycle as I walk through Indianapolis. But the little twist on that is that these cycles end up triggering my Bleeding Effect, and soon I find myself involuntarily exploring Priscilla's memories again. Thirteen years after the events in “Nothing Less”, it's the midst of the Civil War. Priscilla continues to operate in Indiana in order to protect it from the Templars trying to bring Confederate corruption into the state. But an old enemy has reared his face once again, and she soon finds herself caught up in her journey to stop his diabolical schemes. Can she overcome her demons? Can I? Will we find inner peace after all the struggles we've gone through? Tune in tomorrow and find out! Same bat time, same bat channel!
...I’m a dork XD

Mirror Mirror reminds me of the Mirror Universe from Star Trek.
In point, the Assassins would be the bad guys, and the Templar Order would be the saviors of the Earth. Or that the cause of it all was Abel killing Cain in self defense and it went downhill from that.
Or as in the original TOS episode, you have to talk Mirror!Ava into taking over the Mirror!Brotherhood so she can bring into reform.
Mirror!Ava: One man can not change the future.
Carter/You: But one man can change the present. Be the Mentor of Indianapolis, call a truce with your Templar Order, rise in rank, push till it gives. What will it be? Past, or future? Tyranny, or freedom? It's up to you. (Goes back to Prime Universe.)
(Hope you don't mind quoting Captain Kirk.)

I've never seen Star Trek I rarely have time to get into a new show anymore lol. I want to try and check it out some day though
The concept you've given here certainly seems cool.
...to be fair though, Chelsea is definitely the future successor to the Indianapolis Mentorship, not me XD

Thanks!
Yes, the Mirror Universe is very interest and unique concept and a lot of fun can be play with it.
The idea right here is when Carter, and 3 others are sent to the Mirror Verse. (Switching places as they mirror selves are sent to the Prime Universe and you know the chaos from that.) and well, you can imagine how horrific the 4 would be in the Mirror Universe. (Assassins are a Dark aggressive, mistrustful, opportunistic, Brotherhood that values war, despotism, power, and conquest, while the Templar Order are the Guardians of Human Freedom, Hope, Light, and Will and been so since the very start of it all.)
You are get back home, but Carter talks to one of the Mirror Characters (Be it Mirror!Ava, Mirror!Chelsea, or even Mirror!Angie.) that help them into taking over the Indianapolis Mentorship and rise in rank to try and change the Brotherhood and work with the Templar Order.
If it helps, I can show you other Mirror scenarios of other works to give you a better idea. (Fictional, and some Historical ones.) Or show you more of ST's Mirror Verse if that helps.

I do remember playing around with some AU ideas similar to this concept once, though a bit different. I think the initial thought I had was what if Aveza had been a Templar instead of an Assassin. Like, all the historical stuff would remain the same, but it would be on the American side of things instead of the British. So instead of fighting Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans, she'd rush across the battlefield to kill Edward Packenham, or she'd be the one to fell Tecumseh, that kind of thing.

YESSS.....
For all of Rogue issues, I like how they was able to show some good in the Templar Order in that some truly what to help Mankind and aid Humanity, those who are utterly sincere in their efforts to establish a beneficent New World Order that will protect people from chaos. (I am still against them, and a NWO, but Rogue gave the Templar a form of human face.)

I suppose so, yeah. I'm always team Assassin though XD While Rogue got me to understand the Templar ideology a bit more, I was still far from siding with it lol
Also speaking of Rogue, am I the only one who was kinda disappointed that we only got one non-Templar historical target? I was really hoping they'd take the opportunity to explore different perspectives in history and send us off to the Plains of Abraham or something. But instead all they gave us was some random French explorer who I only knew was a historical figure because of how long and ridiculous his name was XD

Your not the only one. I feel like missed out a lot of the Freach and Indian War, and even the Seven Years War in Europe. (The Freach was winning the War in North America at first.)
But either way, I would like to see how Aveza had been a Templar would go for her. (And the fact she would be fighting Arnold, Connor, and so on.)

I never really put much thought into the idea. It was always kind of a little side concept I toyed around with when I got bored XD
The way I'd see it going is that her parents would be Templars, her father was killed by the Assassins, and so her mother takes her to Fort Arsenal to meet Shay and introduce her to the Templar Order and have her join. Years later, she works alongside the American government and Shay to insight a war against the British in 1812, and once war does break out she joins the American Army alongside William Henry Harrison and other American figures at various historical events. She kills Tecumseh at the Thames and starts to collab with Andrew Jackson in his coup against Shay. They take his Precursor key but find that they still don't have the means to access the Armor of Gabriel, so they move on to dealing with the politics of the Era of Good Feelings.

Still sounds like a good set up. A pity she works with Jackson, and not with Shay. (Looking at Chapter 23 at Shay last battle and sacrificed. Died like a true son of Ireland.)
OR....Moving away from AU's, or the Mirror Universe, is Carter, Ava, and all your ancestors meeting on a train, and force to do stuff for a unknown voice at this place, or that. Or just in the modern age, and all that jazz.

Yeah, I remember thinking for a long time about how I wanted to handle Shay in Anthem. I had a bunch of different ideas, like Aveza killing him, him going fully corrupt with Jackson, him teaming up with the Assassins again to fight Jackson. But in the end I felt like the sacrifice ending was one that suited his character best. It kinda seemed like a tragic but fitting conclusion to his character arch and all the lessons he learned over the years.
I feel like half the conversations would just be awkward shuffling between us and our ancestors XD I mean, Ava's ancestor tutored one of mine, and yet another of her ancestors got her brains blown out by another of mine.

I think you did a good job with him. Staying true to his ideas as a Templar, regretting his actions to the old Brotherhood, and doing one last thing to tip the odds in favor of the Assassins to keep things against Jackson.
OHH....That would highly awkward, but a reward in itself.
May I ask just who killed who?

Either way, I seen a lot of Time Travel/Assassins of different times meeting the other and I think you could have a ball with it once you find a sort of footing on how, when, where, and all that.

BTW: Would the AU of Aveza being a Templar affect Ava and the gang? Or would the Butterfly net be on?

Avapithecus In reply to Historyman14 [2017-08-11 02:05:05 +0000 UTC]
I see it going a few ways:
1. If we add the factor of AU Arnold also beinf a Templar, then I'd imagine the genepool would still carry on and Ava would be able to receive the message from Gabriel.
2. Aveza is a Templar and Arnold isn't, thus making this timeline a dud for Gabriel since Ava would never be born.

Historyman14 In reply to Avapithecus [2017-08-11 02:11:20 +0000 UTC]
Well, you can always hook Templar Aveza up with someone else, thus allowing the bloodline to carry on, and have Ava, if a bit different of a Ava.
BTW: In a Mirror, Darkly.
