'''The Wounded Eagle''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
During a carriage race against [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], the Byzantine [[Templars|Templar]] Captain [[Leandros]] calls his [[guards]] for help. After he pulls ahead of the [[Assassins|Assassin]]'s wagon, Leandros' men manage to stop Ezio by throwing a [[Bombs|bomb]] under the wheels of his cart.

As Ezio's carriage is hurled from the cliffside, he falls into a canyon, only managing to survive by using a rocky outcrop to slow his descent. Despite this, he hits the ground next to the splintered remains of his carriage.

After seeing that Ezio had survived the fall, although wounded, Leandros orders his guards to kill him. Managing to survive the battle in his weakened state, Ezio infiltrates the Templar stronghold and makes his way to a tower, where he finally kills Leandros.

In the race between the two, Leandros rushes through the canyon as Ezio begins to catch up. However, he manages to ram into Ezio's carriage and almost forces him off of the cliff, slowing the Assassin down enough to speed past him. Soon, Leandros reaches his destination, where he notices a few of his guards.

*'''Leandros:''' (to the guards) ''Stop him!''

One of Leandros' guards hurls a bomb towards Ezio's carriage, which falls underneath his cart and explodes, sending him, along with the carriage, into the valley below.

Leandros approaches the guards.

*'''Leandros:''' ''Do not take your eyes off this road for a moment. Do you understand me?'' ''Nothing gets through!''

Ezio manages to climb back onto the road, which one of the guards notices.

*'''Guard:''' ''Leandros!'' (points at Ezio)

Leandros turns around, spotting Ezio.

[[File:The Wounded Eagle 3.png|thumb|right|250px|Leandros instructing his guards.]]
*'''Leandros:''' ''Well, well. Look what crawled out of its hole to die!''

Turning around to his guards, Leandros gives them an order, before signalling two guards to follow him.

*'''Leandros:''' ''He's at death's door. Finish him off!'' ''Bring me his head, or throw yourselves into the canyon!''

As Leandros walks away, the remaining guards approach Ezio, considering him as an easy target. Preparing himself for a fight, despite his injury to his abdomen, Ezio manages to survive and proceeds towards the village. He then steps onto a spinning waterwheel to reach the top of the fortress wall.

*'''Ezio:''' ''This used to be so easy''.

Once he reaches the top, Ezio makes his way through the guard infested village. He manages to get past them all and finds Leandros behind fortified walls.

[[File:The_Wounded_Eagle_10.png|thumb|250px|right|Leandros taunting Ezio.]]
*'''Leandros:''' ''Could it be that you are every bit as deadly as the legends say? Or am I in charge of an army of drunks swinging sticks?!'' ''Right this way, Ezio. Nowhere left to run now!''

Ezio notices a few guards running towards him from behind.

*'''Ezio:''' ''Not for me, and not for you!''

With a swing of his sword, he closes the gate behind him, and prevents the guards from entering and Leandros from escaping.

*'''Leandros:''' ''Kill that dog! Cut him down!''

After killing some guards, Ezio loots their bodies for medicine, which he uses to heal his wounds. He then climbs his way across the rooftops. While [[arquebusiers]] shoot at him, Ezio manages to dodge them and starts to climb the tower where Leandros had taken refuge. Seeing Ezio approach, Leandros throws one of his guards off of the tower, intending to slow Ezio down.

*'''Leandros:''' ''Do your worst, malakas! ''(asshole!)

[[File:The_Wounded_Eagle_13.png|250px|thumb|right|Leandros' final moments.]]

As Ezio dodges the guard, who breaks through a wooden platform, Ezio climbs higher.

*'''Leandros:''' ''Face me.''

Ezio reaches the top of the tower as Leandros backs away from him.

*'''Leandros:''' ''What does it take to kill you, eh? Why will you not die?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Don't you ever stop howling?''

With Leandros cornered, Ezio grabs and headbutts the Templar, before he forces his hidden blade into his body.
*'''Leandros:''' ''Well, the old hound still has a bite.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''The book you carry. Where is it?''
*'''Leandros:''' ''Ah! [[The Secret Crusade|Niccolò Polo's journal]]?'' ''This will do no good, not now. We have found one of the Masyaf keys already, and are closing in on the rest.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''What is in that library is not for you. Not the Templars.''
*'''Leandros:''' ''Ah, you can have [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|Altaïr's]] books, Ezio. We only want guidance. We only want directions... to the location of the Grand Temple.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Grand Temple? Tell me more. Now!''
Leandros however dies and Ezio picks up the journal from his body.
*'''Ezio:''' ''Requiescat in pace, bastardo.'' (Rest in peace, bastard.)

==Outcome==
Ezio succeeds in killing the Captain of the Byzantine guard, and retrieves Niccolò Polo's journal.

*To achieve full [[synchronization]], Ezio must assassinate at least five [[guards]] from a [[Hiding Spots|haystack]].

'''A Narrow Escape''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''.

==Description==
[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] finds his weapons and makes his way along the [[Masyaf]] fortress' battlements by the guidance of his Mentor Altaïr Ibn La'Ahad's spirit, eliminating any [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] [[guards]] who try to confront him. Eventually he finds the pool located behind the fortress and dives into it.

There, he discovers a tunnel beneath and proceeds to explore.

==Dialogue==
As Ezio flees the tower, Leandros angrily shouts orders from above.
* '''Leandros:''' (coughing) ''Get him, you fools! Kill that bastard!'' ''Look everywhere, top to bottom! I want him dead!'' ''Ezio! I'm going to dig your heart out with a shovel and feed it to you!'' ''Damn this blizzard, he could be anywhere!'' ''What the hell are you standing around for? Make yourselves useful!''

==Trivia==
* To achieve full [[synchronization]], Ezio must counter kill a Byzantine guard.
* If replaying the memory or accessing it via a new session after receiving the hookblade, the memory will show Ezio pick up his weaponry as usual, but the vambrace containing the second hidden blade will be replaced with a vambrace equipped with a hookblade. However, the cutscene will show the broken blade and it was not usable during the rest of the memory.
* Even if Ezio have killed all gunmens and another guards inside village fortress courtyard, some gunmens will still appear to shoot him while climbing to kill Leandros.
