“No time. It is far later than you know. Too late to save them. She is not who you think she is. Everything you hope to become, everything you hold dear. It’s already gone. Eden. She in… Eden.

In the end, it all comes down to him. To Desmond. Through the Animus he discovered his heritage. Explored the lives of his ancestors, and uncovered their secrets. When that was done, he trained. He used another ancestor to provide decades of experience in the span of a few days. It worked. We think. We hope. Soon, though - soon we’ll know. That ominous date fast approaches. December 21st, 2012. None of us knows what it’ll bring - only that this is where they want us to be when it does. They’ve been guiding us, in their own fractured, frustrating way. These voices from The First Civilization. The Ones Who Came Before. A precursor race of immense power and uncertain motives. They’re the ones who made the Pieces of Eden. This is where they’ve led him. And through him, us. He stands at the entrance to this long-lost place, armed with the knowledge of Altaïr and the abilities of Ezio. He holds in his hand the Apple of Eden. And we stand at his side, ready to support him however we can. His name is Desmond Miles and he has brought us to the end.
I heard your name once before, Desmond, a long time ago. And now it lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream. I do not know where you are, or by what means you can hear me. But I know you are listening.
I have lived my life as best I could, not knowing its purpose, but drawn forward like a moth to a distant moon. And here, at last, I discover a strange truth. That I am only a conduit for a message that eludes my understanding. Whoarewe,whohavebeensoblessedtoshareourstorieslikethis?Tospeakacrosscenturies? Maybe you will answer all the questions I have asked. Maybe you will be the one to make all this suffering worth something in the end.
