The Burdens We Carry
Template:WPmemories
The Burdens We Carry was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Ezio Auditore freed Caterina Sforza from her cell in the Castel Sant'Angelo. Being unable to walk due to her previous encounter with Lucrezia Borgia, Ezio had to carry her out of the Castel.
Dialogue
Ezio approached Caterina’s cell with Lucrezia.
- Caterina: Salute Lucrezia! How I’ve missed you.
- Lucrezia: Vai a farti fottere, troia. (Go fuck yourself, whore.)
- Caterina: Always a pleasure. Bring her here, I’ll take the key.
Ezio brought Lucrezia closer. Caterina reached into Lucrezia’s cleavage, retrieving the key.
- Caterina: Oh, classy.
Caterina unlocked her cell and pushed Lucrezia into the cell.
- Lucrezia: GUARDS! GUARDS!
- Caterina: That’s enough out of you!
Caterina smacked Lucrezia's head against the bars of the cell, knocking her unconscious.
- Ezio: Can you walk?
- Caterina: No.
- Ezio: (Closing the cell door) I guess we are going out the front.
Ezio picked up Caterina and began to carry her through the Castello. As they approached guards along the way, Ezio set Caterina down in a safe location, before silently eliminating them, so as to avoid detection.
- Ezio: Wait here.
- Caterina: As if I have a choice.
What are you doing, Ezio?
Come, Ezio, this way.
Ezio, this way, per favore.
Ezio returned to Caterina after disposing of the guards ahead. He picked her up again, and continued through the Castello.
- Caterina: Why save me, Ezio? With Forlì taken, I am useless to you.
- Ezio: You have a family.
- Caterina: It is not your family.
That night at the Villa, I had to ensure our allegiance to protect Forlì. Do you understand, Ezio?
- Ezio: È la politica. (Politics.) Of course. I knew it. You need not explain.
Caterina. Did they...? Did Cesare...? - Caterina: No. My name must still have some small value. I was left... unspoiled.
They approached an open grate in the floor, through which a large pile of hay could be seen on the floor below. As Ezio walked to the edge, Caterina looked at him suspiciously.
- Caterina: Don’t you dare.
Caterina screamed as Ezio dropped her into the hay. After she landed safely, Ezio followed her by performing a Leap of Faith. Whilst hiding in the hay, a guard approached. Ezio assassinated him, and hid the corpse in the hay.
- Caterina: Figlio di puttana (Son of a bitch). Never do that again.
They left through the front door of the Castello, and noticed that the front gates were locked.
- Caterina: It seems to open from there.
Outcome
Ezio unlocked the gates, allowing himself and Caterina to escape the Castello grounds to the Stables.
Trivia
- To achieve full synchronization, Ezio must not be detected while escorting Caterina out of the Castel.
- Caterina does not lose health if she is hit by a poisoned guard while she is on the floor.
