'''Two Birds, One Blade''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].


'''Two Birds, One Blade '''is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
==Description==
==Description==
This memory involves the assassination of [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and [[Dante Moro]]. [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] climbs to the top of the highest point in the Castello, and activates a flare gun-like mechanism, thus signaling the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] to begin attacking Silvio's men. He then goes to help [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]], and he fights Dante. After some time, Dante and Silvio begin to flee to the ships but are assassinated by Ezio before they can escape.
As part of his plan to draw out [[Dante Moro]] and the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Silvio Barbarigo]], by placing [[mercenaries]] in strategic points through the [[Castello District|Castello district]], Ezio Auditore returned to [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] to set the next stage into motion.

Two Birds, One Blade was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description[edit | edit source]

As part of his plan to draw out Dante Moro and the Templar Silvio Barbarigo, by placing mercenaries in strategic points through the Castello district, Ezio Auditore returned to Bartolomeo d'Alviano to set the next stage into motion.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Bartolomeo instructing Ezio

Ezio returned to Bartolomeo's quarters after planting the mercenaries.

  • Bartolomeo: Ah, there you are! Is it done?
  • Ezio: Yes. All your men are in place.
  • Bartolomeo: Bene, bene (Good, good).

Bartolomeo gave Ezio a flare.

  • Bartolomeo: Take this. I assume you know how it works?

Ezio nodded.

  • Bartolomeo: Find the highest point you can in the district and fire it from there. This signals my men to begin the attack.
  • Ezio: Alright, then. I will see you on the battlefield.
  • Bartolomeo: That you will.

After leaving Bartolomeo's home, Ezio climbed a tower and fired the flare. As the battle began, he saw Bartolomeo in combat with Dante.

  • Ezio: Bartolomeo needs my help.

Ezio performed a Leap of Faith from the tower and went to aid Bartolomeo. After he arrived, Dante fled.

  • Dante: Must return to L'Arsenale...
  • Bartolomeo: Salute, Ezio!
  • Ezio: Care for some company?
  • Bartolomeo: By all means!

Together the two fought through the guards. Once they were defeated, Bartolomeo ran after Dante.

  • Bartolomeo: After him!

Ezio followed Dante and overheard Silvio from above.

  • Silvio: A fine specimen, isn't he? You should be honored to die by his hand!
  • Bartolomeo: Ciucciami i coglioni, muso da mona (Suck my balls you fucking idiot)! Porca puttana (Son of a bitch)! Come on, Ezio! We need to stop that grassone bastardo (fat bastard)!

They engaged Dante in battle again.

  • Silvio: You think I don't know why you're here, Ezio?! But you're too late! There's nothing you can do to prevent us from obtaining it. Ah! That's right! You still don't know, do you? Though once Dante's done with you it won't matter anymore. Do you miss him, Ezio? Your fool of a father?

Silvio laughed.

  • Silvio: My greatest regret is that I could not have been the one to pull the lever. To watch him kick and gasp and hang! You'll follow him into the ground! You and that condottiero (mercenary captain) too! And after we'll come for the others! Your uncle. Your mother. Your sweet, sweet sister.

Silvio signaled to Dante.

  • Silvio: Enough of this! We're out of time! Return to me. We must depart.
  • Bartolomeo: Ezio! Go now! That brute will no doubt lead you straight to his master. My men and I will remain here and keep the guards from giving chase.

Dante returned to Silvio.

  • Silvio: Hurry! They're going to leave without us!
