			While Altaïr and Qulan made their way through the Mongol tents, Darim located a vantage point not far from the camp, where he watched over the other Assassins. Moving through the heavily guarded area, the two relied on Darim to dispose of any [[Soldier\|guards]] that were about to raise the alarm, so that they could safely reach the Khan. However, Altaïr almost alerted the Mongols to their presence; becoming unwary and clumsy with age, he let an enemy soldier sneak up on and wound him before Qulan Gal killed the guard.<ref name="Reflections" />

	Qulan escorted Altaïr out of the camp, bringing the Levantine [[Mentor]] to safety. ~~Moments after~~, Qulan formulated a plan with Darim ~~in order~~ to flush Khan out of his tent and create an assassination opportunity. ~~Khan~~, ~~however~~, ~~was already aware of~~ the ~~threat posed by~~ the ~~Assassins~~ and ~~tried~~ to ~~escape~~ on [[~~horses~~\|~~horseback~~]]. ~~He was brought down first by~~ Qulan, and then ~~finished off~~ by Darim.<ref name="~~Reflections~~" />		Taking refuge inside a camp, they found another soldier guarding the Assassin initiate [[Nergüi]], who had been captured while scouting the Mongol camp alone. After dealing with the guard, Qulan freed Nergüi and, as he did so, reprimanded the young Assassin for his recklessness, but also admitted that he was brave and honorable and that it was good to see him alive.<ref name="Reflections" />

			With Nergüi's help, Qulan escorted the injured Altaïr out of the camp, bringing the Levantine [[Mentor]] to safety. Afterwards, while Maria tended to her husband, Qulan formulated a plan with Darim to flush the Khan out of his tent and create an assassination opportunity. Together with Altaïr, Maria, and Nergüi, they loosed flaming [[arrow]]s into the camp, agitating the animals and creating a commotion. This prompted the Khan to leave his tent and, upon seeing his camp aflame, he decided to flee on [[horse]]back, accompanied by a few soldiers while the rest stayed to extinguish the flames.<ref name="Reflections" />

			Seizing this opportunity, Qulan and Darim gave chase on their own horses, catching up with the Khan's convoy. Qulan promptly dealt with the escorts and shot the Khan's horse with his [[bow]], causing it to fall and crush its rider under its weight. With Genghis Khan immobilized, Darim approached his target and ended his life with a [[crossbow]] bolt to the eye after declaring that all of his successors would suffer the same fate. The two Assassins then tried to recover the warlord's Sword of Eden, which had fallen from the horse, but had no time due to the arrival of Mongol reinforcements.<ref name="Reflections" />

			==Aftermath==
			{{Quote\|I always felt an Assassin's strength lay in independence and self-reliance. Yet seeing how you and your family work together causes me to revise my opinion.\|Qulan Gal to Altaïr and his family, prior to parting ways.\|Assassin's Creed: Reflections\|Assassin's Creed: Reflections 2}}
			Escaping empty-handed, Darim and Qulan returned to the others, whereupon the Ibn-La'Ahad family prepared for the long journey back home. As they bid their farewells, Qulan expressed admiration for how well Altaïr and his family had worked in tandem, which made him revise his opinion that Assassins operated at their best when they were by their lonesome. To this, Altaïr suggested that Qulan take on an [[Assassin apprentice\|apprentice]], and the Mongolian Assassin agreed, taking Nergüi under his wing.<ref name="Reflections" />

			Their mission complete, Altaïr, Maria, and Darim proceeded to head back to Masyaf. After several months, they arrived back home, only to find that many things had changed during their years-long absence and that the Levantine Brotherhood was in [[Decline of the Levantine Assassins\|decline]] under the leadership of [[Abbas Sofian]].<ref name="TSC" />

			Just like Genghis Khan had hinted during his final moments, his murder at the hands of the Assassins did not go unnoticed, and his grandson [[Hülegü Khan]] would eventually vent his fury upon the Brotherhood in the late 1250s, decimating their strongholds in Masyaf and [[Alamut]] and erasing the Levantine Assassins' power.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia]]''</ref> However, the Brotherhood survived this [[Fall of Masyaf\|assault]] and was merely driven underground, continuing to operate in the shadows as it had centuries prior.<ref name="TSC" />
