The Revolution Starts Now.

I navigated into position and assassinated Wasif from above. In the memory corridor, Basim drenched a feather in the warlord's blood while confronting a terrifying vision of the djinn. Returning to reality, Basim allowed Ali to claim the kill to ignite the revolution.
With the target isolated, Wasif stood completely composed and silent, unaware that he was trapped. Sifting through the upper beams and ledges, I climbed and jumped across the structure until I positioned myself directly above him.
Wasif didn't have the slightest clue that his grim reaper was waiting in the shadows right above his head. I took the leap and drove my blade, and executing him on the spot despite my original plan for a slower approach.
The strike pulled Basim into the memory corridor, where Wasif stared at the white feather in Basim's hand, asking if it was plucked from an eagle that fell from the sky. Basim explained it was a symbol of freedom before waiting for the warlord to take his final breath.
Fulfilling the Hidden Ones' rite, Basim drenched the tip of the feather in Wasif's blood just as the target's body dissolved into the dark void.
In the quiet aftermath, the dark djinn materialized once again, creeping closer than ever before. Just as the creature reached out to grab Basim, the vision shattered, and snapped him back to reality.
Ali burst into the room moments later, finding Wasif already dead on the floor. To solidify his standing with the uprising, Ali asked for permission to claim the kill.
Basim agreed, allowing Ali to drive his sword through Wasif's corpse just as the rebel fighters rushed into the hall to witness the warlord's end.
Announcing that the revolution had officially begun, Ali drew his blade to face a wave of incoming enemy guards.
As a massive firefight erupted in the halls, I dropped a smoke bomb into the middle of the room, blinding the guards and cutting them down rapidly to clear a path out of the fortress.
Until next time, happy gaming.

The djinn getting closer every time is probably the creepiest part of the whole sequence, especially when it finally reached out toward Basim before the vision suddenly broke apart.
The way it kept getting closer made every encounter feel more disturbing. And I'm somehow thinking its trying to say something as its not attacking or anything.
Ali arriving just after Wasif had been killed was almost perfect timing, and asking to claim the kill showed that this assassination meant much more to the revolution than just removing one warlord.
Yeah, he has good timing sense.
I liked that Basim allowed Ali to take the credit, because the kill itself mattered less than giving the uprising a symbol that could rally everyone behind it.
Basim didn't need the recognition, he knew Ali's name could inspire more people. But what I'm thinking now is, maybe Ali will turn into a villain later cause his behavior is so unsettling in my opinion.
