Chapter 22
Me and Shay go to the fort in Anticosti to meet with Chevalier's spy. We reach the room that we are suppose to meet the spy. Shay opens the large wooden door and we walk in the room that has a large wooden table in the middle of it, and the room is lite by the fire place.
"Take a look at this," the pirate says, he tosses a scroll to Chevalier, "I narrowed these from a royal navy ship, they are nothing like I've ever seen," he says talking about the parchments on the table. Chevalier looks at the parchments.
"Good, we could use some more powerful weapons," Chevalier says. Me and Shay walk up to the table, Chevalier sees us, "Le Chasseur, allow me to present our associates Shay Cormac and Kathryn McKay," I look at the parchments on the table.
"Gentleman, and uhh... Lady, on the same ship I have news I've spied the Manuscript you seek," I see Liam looking at me, and I glare at him, still mad at him, "it was written is an exotic language that I did not recognize, it had drawings of plants and animals from an opium dream,"
"What, no charts, no maps," Chevalier says disappointed. Le Chasseur shakes his head.
"No, there might have been some kind of code, but neither I or the roast beefs could recognize it," Le Chasseur says.
"Where's the Manuscript now?" Liam says un patiently.
"The man who brought it said something about a man named Washington," Le Chasseur says. Me and Shay look at each other, both of us knowing exactly who Le Chasseur is taking about. Then Shay looks at the others.
"I know that name, he's a very important Templar, isn't he?" Shay says. Liam looks at Shay.
"He is, Lawrence Washington, has great ambitions, that the Templar's have yet to fulfil," Liam says, "Shay, Kathryn head out and find him," Liam turns to Le Chasseur, "you sir have our thanks," then me, Shay, Liam, and Chevalier leave the room.
Once we leave the room to head back to the ship, Liam stops me. I look up at him, he looks at me saddened.
"What?" I ask him calmly. He meets my eyes.
"I'm sorry about earlier, I'm sorry that I hardly ever listen to you," Liam apologizes, "you are right though, we don't know what the Precursor Sights can do," he continues, "but you got to remember that we have our orders and we must fulfil then," I nod in agreement.
I hug Liam, he looks surprised at first and then he hugs me back.
"I'm sorry about what I said Liam," I mumble. He smiles at me.
"It's fine," Liam says. Then we walk back to the ship where Shay and Chevalier are waiting for us.
July, 1752, River Valley
The Morrigan docks in River Valley. I put my hood down and I feel the heat of the sun on my skin. Oh how much I love summer. Shay takes my hand and our fingers intertwine.
"It feels nice out," I say while my head is on his shoulder.
"Yeah, to bad we can't just enjoy it for the day," Shay says. I put a hand on his chest.
"I kind of want a summer wedding when we get married," I say. Shay looks down at me.
"It would be nice," Shay agrees with me. I look at him and smile.
"Speaking of the wedding, when should we get married?" I ask him. He looks at me and shrugs.
"I don't know, I was thinking after we find the Manuscript," Shay says. I peck his lips. Liam looks at us.
"Alright, enough you two," Liam laughs, "Come, Achilles is waiting for us,"
So we go and meet Achilles, we basically told him of what we learned about the location of the Manuscript. Achilles told us to find Washington, and that's what we plan to do.
