He stood on the edge, staring into the vastness out before him, the mountains standing tall and stoic around him.  In his left hand a blade, plain and simple, yet elegant in its own way, and in his right, a small blade retracted back with the flick of his wrist.  His white robe flowed like the white caps on a vast ocean.  There was no sound, save for that of a lone eagle calling out, beckoning him to spread his wings and fly.  He let out a breath, calm and easy, all the while there was chaos behind him.  This was where he lived, where he thrived; with chaos on one side of him, and harmony on the other; in between the yin and yang.  The clang of steel drawn from hilts and stomp of feet hard running towards him grew louder, and he that now was the time.  Yet, he wanted to breathe it all in, just a little longer…  Seemingly at the last second, he stepped into the nothingness before him, aware of nothing but the call of the eagle, who had beckoned him to join him in flight.

Okay, now that I've thrown that out there...  My love for this series has now tickled my imagination haha.  Ideas on future entries into the series abound, and here I will write some of those ideas out. 

So, now mankind has been both saved and defeated by the first civilization, and more specifically, fallen under the control of Juno.  She now utilizes the power of the Apple of Eden to rip away free will of mankind and enslave them to do her bidding.  The only people left who have not succumed to its influence are, surprise, Templars and Assassins, who share the blood of the First Civilization, and more specifically, Adam and Eve. 

So, let's look at Japan.  *The Tokugawa period was prosperous and peaceful and Japan terminated the Christian missions and cut off almost all contact with the outside world.  Why not have this attributed the Assassin's, whom by cutting off the Chrisitan missions, have also cut off the Templars from entering the country, and in turn they become complacent, and corrupt, because they have no true enemy or cause.  No 'check' if you will.  This would be a reason that this time period and place would be of importance, because it would be a lesson from Minerva, on how the Templars and the Assassin's need to be at peace, otherwise they will all fall. 

Further in the story...  maybe Eve was the first Assassin, and Adam was the first Templar...? 

How about other ideas to toss around?  I mean, part of the challenge that I see in the series is to be historically accurate with events, and to somehow figure out a way to make it believeable that the characters that are central in the game, belong in that period.  There are events in history that cause them to become assassins.
