I entered my room and collapsed in my bed. I stood there staring at my bedroom ceiling for thirty minutes before I could think back to the day I had just lived. Then, thinking back to the training my father put me through, I started to fear him.

Flashback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went out into the garden with my father. When we arrived, he asked me to sit down.
"Tell me, Saibus, why do you want to train so early."
"So that I can be free, protect myself and the people who are dear to me."
Altaïr looked at his son when he heard her answer and saw a glint of determination in his son's eyes.
"Alright, from today, I will train you as an assassin. Are you ready to go through hell?"
"Yes, father."
"Good." Altaïr smiles mischievously.
"Now, you're going to do thirty-five push-ups for me."
I obey and start to do push-ups, but my arm hurts when I reach the tenth. But I continue to finish my push-ups and collapse on the floor.
"Well, Saibus, you're already tired from thirty tiny push-ups. It looks like you don't want to get strong in the end."
I watched my dad speak to me as I breathe hard.
It looks like I overestimated myself; after all, I no longer have my old body but that of a child.
"Get up and follow me." my father said to me while starting to walk towards the waterfall.
I get up with difficulty and follow my father. When I get to the waterfall, my father looks at me.
"Jumped up."
"What?"
"I ask you to jump."
I watch him see if he's serious, and it looks like he is.
I go forward and look at the waterfall, which must be 50 meters high (AN: I don't know if it is high for a waterfall or not, so I improvised.)
I dared not jump, me the greatest assassin in my world, me the person we feared. I felt fear. It was the first time that I felt this emotion. Strangely, the fear turned into excitement. I was excited to be able to feel emotions. But back to this moment. I had to jump. I looked at my dad, then, without thinking, jumped up.
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
splash
I felt my body being pushed down. I tried to go back up, but I failed, and that's when I saw it. It was immense. Its length was several meters. He had light yellow eyes. Long white mustaches stuck out from his cheeks. A long ridge floated down his body. Its scales were pure white. His appearance resembled the Chinese dragon.
"You leaped faith, my boy, now are you ready to move forward on the path of shadows? Are you ready to begin your assassin training?
