Do we have a Phonenix yet in the menagire? We need one.

Phoenix!Desmond, probably looking like a normal bird for the most part, and stays with Sef when they go after the mongols (Altair probably thinks he's getting too old he looked a bit ratty lately) and takes the hit when Swami tries to kill him.

Idk whether to have this crack or angest with them thinking Desmond died, had a chick, and was apparently a female bird the entire time.

Okay, so I was checking the Phoenix wiki page for any information if it would be possible that Altaïr would know what a phoenix is and there’s this part written by Herodotus (yes, Kassandra’s Herodotos)

[The Egyptians] have also another sacred bird called the phoenix which I myself have never seen, except in pictures. Indeed it is a great rarity, even in Egypt, only coming there (according to the accounts of the people of Heliopolis) once in five hundred years, when the old phoenix dies. Its size and appearance, if it is like the pictures, are as follow: The plumage is partly red, partly golden, while the general make and size are almost exactly that of the eagle. They tell a story of what this bird does, which does not seem to me to be credible: that he comes all the way from Arabia, and brings the parent bird, all plastered over with myrrh, to the temple of the Sun, and there buries the body.

… which may be a reference to Bennu, the Egyptian deity connected to the sun, creation, and rebirth.

So Altaïr would meet him during his travels with Maria and he just stays. They assume he’s an exotic bird (or eagle), maybe a native to one of the places Altaïr and Maria visited.

Altaïr never told them that the bird flew into his room one night and began to chirp at him as if trying to tell him something. He also tried to tap the Apple but all it did was glow a bit.

The bird had been quite annoyed by it and began to hit it with his talons so quickly the Apple had a taptaptaptaptap sound rapidly before Altaïr could take the Apple.

After that, the bird just decided to sit on Altaïr’s shoulder when he left his room the following morning and Maria assumed he had bought the bird yesterday when they went their separate ways.

Her guess sounded so much better than the truth which was Altaïr spent the entire day yesterday holed up in his room, writing letters to be sent back to Masyaf as part of his deal with Malik in exchange for letting him go on this trip (which was to send letters detailing the geopolitical situations of the places he travels to with suggestion on what the Brotherhood should do in those parts… if they could do anything).

So nobody ever questioned the mentor’s newly acquired bird (except Malik but Malik had been more focused on the ex-Templar that Altaïr brought to Masyaf and married).

Then Darim and Sef were born and the bird (named Desmond because Altaïr thought of the name first when Maria asked what the bird’s name was) usually stayed with the children, letting out loud screeching cries whenever one of the two children were doing something they shouldn’t do.

When they got older, Darim and Sef learned the word ‘bribe’ and how Desmond can be easily bribed to look the other way in favor of delicious food.

Desmond stayed in Masyaf though, regardless if Altaïr or any of his sons left for a mission or to travel to a bureau. At some point, the bird had become a symbol of Brotherhood with its gold and red plumage.

So when Altaïr left with Maria and Darim to take down Genghis Khan, it was only natural for Desmond to stay with Sef in Masyaf.

Altaïr had been a bit conflicted though as Desmond’s feathers had grown quite… dull and he was moving slower than usual.

Maria and Malik both told them that Desmond was growing old and maybe it was time but the Ibn-La'Ahad boys refused to believe that.

Darim also believed that they might find medicine in one of the camps of the Mongols as they have been to many lands.

So when Desmond flew to protect Sef and got stabbed on the chest by Swami, Swami screamed as Desmond became shrouded in flames.

Swami burned as well and Sef could only watch in horror as white hot flames consumed the both of them.

Swami was left as a corpse charred beyond recognition.

While Desmond…

Only ashes remained…

And from those ashes…

Sef heard a small chirp.

As a little chick with red and gold plumage poked his head out of the ashes, shaking the ash from his small body.

Sef could only stare as he asked, “Desmond?”

And the bird gave him an enthusiastic chirp while jumping.

#ngl #super tempted to make desmond a female bird and have him freak out when he suddenly plopped an egg #we can go for the ‘his ancestors get reborn too as his children’ route #and the eggs stay dormant #until the death of his ancestors #so desmond’s gonna be the mother of a flock of phoenix(es) #desmond is turned into an animal subgenre #desmond is turned into a creature subgenre #ask and answer #assassin's creed #desmond miles #teecup writes/has a plot #fic idea: assassin's creed #altaïr ibn la'ahad #sef ibn la'ahad

like a man? no, like me

Summary: Maria was always the dreamer, the idealist. It just took some time figuring out where in life she could find someone or something that recognized that.

A/n -has some headcanons I’ve had about Maria // and I couldn’t forget the original relationship that started it all.

On Masterlist 10

here on ao3 // other chapters available

“Maria! Come down from there or mother will be cross with you again!”

The young girl hung low from the tree branches as her younger sister and child Emma, called for her. Maria was the middle child, eldest of the three girls, Adelaide and Emma, and youngest of her two brothers and sworn playmates, Philip and William. All who were children to the infamously famous and stringent, Lady Jane and Lord Alaric.

There were times when Maria longed for those days in the trees and to play with wooden swords with her brothers but the sobering reality of their life sunk its claws into everyone. It broke her heart when her brothers’ wives scoffed at her in disgust, when Adelaide’s fiancé spoke belligerently and when sweet Emma began to distance herself as well when Lady Jane called for her.

Maria was never one to fall into despair, but she felt herself slipping away as soon as she was married. She tried to find the pieces of herself again, perhaps reading or just admiring the view from the highest tree branches, until she returned from Emma’s wedding and found her favorite tree cut down at the behest of her husband.

There had been other acts of defiance before but Maria was insistent on what she knew would be her last one. To enroll and nearly defeat every knight who joined the joust that was in preparation for her last wedding anniversary feast.

The rest read on here:

[freshstartfromscratch]

I'm 99% sure that Maria was the disciplinary parent.

Darim and Sef database in Revelations says that:

"Both were raised - as Altaïr was - at Masyaf, trained to be Assassins by their father, and diplomats and men of honor by their mother"

And even though it adds:

"Altaïr, though often stern, was a patient father too, a man determined to give his sons what Al Mualim had given him - guidance and respect."

Altaïr maybe was a stern fighting teacher but we're talking about a guy who throw out of the window all traditions of the order and established new ones.

Wanna use poison? Sure! Leave the finger? OFC It'd be dumb to amputate something because of tradition! Keeping low profile instead of making assassinations noticed by many? Yep. That's what we're doing right now. Burning dow the body of Al-Mualim? Duh!

Like Altaïr would tell his sons off not for doing something illegal but for getting caught while doing it.

Meanwhile Maria would be the one teaching them the Knight's Code of Chivalry and following the rules because it's a right thing to do and that's the only reason they need. She's a.former Templar, she HAS to have at least a bit of liking for order and rules.

CODEXTOBER 2022 - DAYS 13,14,15 : MIRAGE, VISION & FAMILY

A three for one deal.

Altaïr coming back to Masyaf seeing mirages of his family when his eagle vision is on.

October is going to kill me, oh my god I am so tired. Why did everything decide do happen this month??? 

Anyway, I’ll probably post a version with only the three of them in full color. Maybe. Probably

I tried to make it look like the eagle vision from the games? I don’t know if I achieved it but yk.

After seeing that chinchilla Desmond ask, it reminded me of my first impression upon encountering the ferox in Ark survival evolved, Genesis part 1. I know it has a cat/fox like face and kind of red panda tail and monkey-ish body but, my first experience with it was in game, as I hadn’t watched the trailer. And I thought it was a mutated chinchilla…

Saying that! A Ferox! Desmond au would be amazing. He’s small and cute, doing cute little hops to beg for treats, and then he’s a 7 foot tall wolf-gorilla thing capable of tearing your head off your body…

I just have a picture of guards angrily breaking into an ancestor’s house (like the Auditore villa at the start of AC2) and finding this cute…thing just sitting on the other side of the door, wagging it’s tail, and then they watch in horror as it suddenly grows, up and up, and up.

And then there’s nothing but screams…

================================

Additions by teecup

For those unfamiliar with what a Ferox look like, here you go:

Desmond would probably spend quite a lot of time trying to get used to his new body, especially his newly acquired four arms so he’d be a bit of a klutz too. And he’d be super surprised when he first transforms into his other form but also ‘hell yeah!’.

Desmond would just be a fluffy sweet bunny? Fox? Cat? No one knows (and Leonardo is trying to understand what he is) but that doesn’t really matter since Desmond is more or less docile and just likes to eat and cuddle. Not being liked by him would make a person a social pariah XD

So we have an idea of how Desmond could screw up AC2 (also, he can totally protect Monteriggioni by going on a rampage on the papacy army, although this might start a rumor of Monteriggioni having a demon as an attack dog) and Desmond could easily thwart Charles Lee’s plan to burn down Ratonhnhaké:ton’s village by going ham on them either while staying with Kaniehtí:io that day or by transforming and ‘taking care’ of the soldiers before Charles Lee could even hurt Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Now, the most common setup would be for Desmond to be Altaïr’s pet but may I suggest an alternative: Desmond as baby Sef’s pet? Sef found him while he and Darim are playing (maybe they were even able to sneak out of Masyaf) and he brought him back because Desmond doesn’t recognize Sef but he looks a lot like Altaïr so he just makes soft purring sounds as he put all his arms in the air in the universal gesture of ‘pick me up’ and Sef does. 

His transformation is kept a secret and Altaïr thinks Desmond might have mutated with the use of a POE. He’s still more or less Sef’s pet even though Desmond likes to follow Altaïr around when Sef isn’t in Masyaf. 

So when Swami tried to assassinate Sef in his sleep, Desmond is curled on top of Sef’s chest and he jumped down, staring at Swami. 

Swami’s eyes widened as Desmond transformed right in front of him and he let out a scream that gets drowned by Desmond’s roar.

Sef immediately wakes up to see Desmond pinning Swami against the floor and Sef knew that something fishy is certainly going on. Even though Swami is babbling that it was his father who ordered for his death, Sef doesn’t believe him.

First of all: His father wouldn’t order for this death. Of all the things Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad might and might not be, his love for his family will never be questioned.

Second of all: Even if Altaïr wanted him dead, he wouldn’t pick someone like Swami to kill him, that’s insulting. (At this point, both Swami and Desmond just stare at Sef because, yeah, he might be nicer and sweeter than his father but the Ibn-La'Ahad arrogance seems to be hereditary).

“Third of all…” Sef looked at Desmond and grinned, “Shall we get some exercise, Desmond?”

Desmond roared his agreement and…

That day, the conspiracy against Altaïr’s family and allies was thwarted by a large monster. Many of Abbas’ supposed allies squealed like pigs and admitted everything while being pinned down by said monster.

Malik drowned in paperwork that day.

Rough doodle designs of Altaïr, Maria, and Malik’s kids— Darim on top left, Sef top right, and Tazim on bottom

Darim already has a design in game and in the reflections comic, so I didn’t add much except for the scar over the eye as a callback to Maria’s own brow scar in my art.

Sef is the younger one, and I like the thought of him looking more like Altaïr while Darim looks more like Maria.

Tazim was described as having a beard at 20 by the time he first meets Altaïr in Secret Crusade, so I wanted to incorporate that

It's finally finished!

My bad writing transcript:

Altaïr: What angered you habibti?

Maria: We need to talk to the boys. I have found something concerning under the bed in their room.

Altaïr: And what did you find?

Maria: A porn magazine.

Altaïr: Let me handle this one, my love

Altaïr: Darim! Sef! Man talk

Altaïr: Sons, I'm disappointed. I thought I taught you better than this. Under the bed. That's the most obvious hiding spot!

Altaïr: Before I leave you two alone, I have to check one thing. What did I tell you during our last talk?

Darim: It's ok to feel aroused but we must remember that porn isn't like the real thing.

Sef: Consent is important and "a good wizard always practice safe hex."

Darim: "a real man" always treats women with respect.

Sef: And if we're not comfortable talking to mom or you, we should talk to sex-ed teacher for advice.

Altaïr: good!

Altaïr: Problem solved.

It's been roughly around forever since I have made my last comic so have a mercy on me.

Idk how many of you remember, but some time ago I wrote that I see Altaïr as the kind of dad who wouldn't be angry at his kids because they broke the rules but rather because they got caught.

I also see him as the "boys will be boys" kind of a guy but he'd also make sure that his sons drink their respect women juice. He's married to Maria after all.

EDIT: A new magazine cover and better light in the pictures.
