Ooh! So I’m reading Catching Heat and Minerva says Desmond sees his home as being the place the first mentor resided and Ezio himself which got me thinking!
What if! Old Ezio gets into the library but as the doors are opening Minerva, Jupiter, whoever, makes a switch at the same time.
So I’m gonna scramble everything a bit and say that as Altaïr dies in his time and Desmond activates the Grand Temple in his, they both perfectly line up with Ezio getting into the library in his.
It’s a fucking long shot and doesn’t even technically work but I’m gonna say it worked anyway.
But they all line up and the Isu use it to pull Desmond and Altaïr to Ezio’s time, cause Altaïr and Ezio are within the same space and Desmond wants to be with the both of them anyway. Which means it’s easier to pull the two to that point of time than either of the other two’s point of time. (Also there’s more to live for in Ezio’s time rather than the other two’s)
So Altaïr sits down to die but suddenly he’s opening his eyes again, feeling something flowing through his veins and making him feel 30 years younger despite the age he can see in his hands.
Desmond’s stumbling forward and falling at his feet, gasping and shivering with aftershocks while his skin lights up with lines that look as if the eye itself carved its design on his skin.
And Ezio’s coming inside to find the two of them, confused as a mf cause how could anyone survive within the library this long?? How is that even possible?
