There are sooo many good animal Desmond ideas out there... But no one thinks about horse Desmond.
He would be the mightiest of steeds. Maybe he would be a war breed like a Friesian or a hunting breed like an Akhal-Teke?
Horse Desmond would be a wild horse at first I think. No one would be able to keep him contained. But maybe he could be tempted to stick around if say... A certain ancestor popped up. Or perhaps they needed a lift? Most probably away from angry templars- or even more likely if you go for ezio- single fathers trying desperately to keep handsome Italian men away from his precious daughters?
You would have no problem escaping when your horse isn't afraid to free-run. >:}
And darn it if he wouldn't be the most loyal mount! Kicking and stomping would-be horse thieves and templars like it's a hobby!
Oooh what if he was a water horse/kelpie?
Horse!Desmond is like… a creature that happens every so often and graces this Tumblr every few months XD
Here’s the first horse!Desmond ask I got.
The Desmond is a horse in Auditore ranch ask that can go either EziAlt or EziLeo.
And the Desmond is a horse in Valhalla ask.
I’m actually unsure if there’s more but these are the ones I was able to find. XD
So let’s go for water kelpie in this one!
I’m kinda imagining Desmond like the water kelpie in Shin Megami Tensei:
But he’s gonna be a pure white kelpie with golden eyes.
Water kelpies have the ability to shapeshift into humans but they’re easily caught because they have seaweeds for hair and they supposedly haunt the almost all water masses in Scotland and the kelpie is said to be a being that appears in both Scottish and Irish lore so there’s a high possibility that Shay and Liam would know about them.
And that’s why Shay is absolutely suspicious of the hooded man that appeared in the homestead one random day.
He spoke to Achilles for a long while and he just… starts living in a small shack near the docks.
Shay wouldn’t have been so suspicious of him had he not smelled like… water… all the time.
He has no other way to explain it.
There was something about his scent that reminded Shay of the stories his father used to tell him the mythical beasts and monsters that haunt Ireland.
They had also traveled to Scotland quite a few times during Shay’s time with his father and their ships, having a close relationship with a merchant that goes there. They get more money if they accompany the merchant to Scotland so Shay knows a bit.
The unknown Assassin that only goes by the name Desmond reminds Shay of one of those stories.
No.
The stories of those who stay in the waters to drown humans.
And then…
Lisbon happened.
He tried to do the right thing.
And he fell in the cold waters.
That’s when he saw it.
A white kelpie with golden eyes.
The same eyes as Desmond.
He wakes up in Desmond’s shabby shack.
And finally sees Desmond without a hood.
… his hair was made of seaweeds.
Shay was in the presence of a kelpie.
But why…
Why did the kelpie save him?
