[His heart stung at the unwelcome reminder. On the rare occasions he mused about the childhood that had been denied to him, he mourned the lost chance of growing up with his brother and the damage their forced separation had caused their brotherly bond. That was depressing enough, without contemplating the full extent of their birthright having been denied to them, growing up in foreign lands as servants to greater powers than themselves. They had been raised well and lovingly, him more well and Romano more lovingly, but they had been denied the chance to live on their own land and know their people as nations should.]
You are far from home, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. What I'm going to tell you will be hard to believe for you. I don't blame you if you don't believe me. You have been kidnapped from your home and taken to a faraway place. I'm a captive, too. Our captors, they keep us locked up in this city, no way to escape, no explanation why.
