Chapter Text
The Cord of Eden is one of the most mysterious artifacts known to man. Most of the mystery comes from its ability to bind two souls, and keep those souls blinded for all eternity until the two have reunited. Though even with that story, people still do not know much of it, and those who do not fully grasp the requirements two would need to consider reunion.
It would start with two people, of course, who have a strong connection for one another. The cord would then proceed to 'bind itself to the souls of the two', or so goes the myth. Until now, those who knew of its existence do not know if the cord binds lovers together for eternity or if it reforms to its physical form once the two have 'reunited'.
Many, many, many individuals have attempted to seek out this thread to prove it is reality rather than a misinterpreted story. But all of them have failed in their conquests, going back to their relatively mundane lives disappointed that they did not find what they were looking for.
Which was why Abstergo had been confident that they'd be the one who'd be successful. They had all the technology, resources and funding, after all.
Abstergo have conducted their own research and expeditions to find the strange object, but none of them were able to find the so-called cord. With no artifact and little to no evidence to suggest its existence, the enterprise eventually scrapped the project and moved on to more important ones.
But curious workers have continued to question and rumor about the Cord's existence; Most shrugging it off as mere mythology but those who didn't were convinced that the artifact was more than just fiction.
Indeed, the Cord of Eden is a wonderful relic, one that a person would like to discover the secrets to. But the item was much more complex than most of them had thought.
