Leap of the Faithful

Leap of the Faithful was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.
==Description==
Basim investigate a commotion coming from a group of children near a mosque.
==Dialogue==
While passing through Sharqiyah, Basim came across a group of children.
*Child 1: You will break your neck!.
*Child 2: You are going to get caught!
*Young Eagle: Stop shouting at me!
Basim spoke to one of the child.
*Basim: Who is the brave little squirrel up there?
*Child 1: He is not a squirrel, his name is "Young Eagle"! We should not have dared him to go up there, but he was being so boastful! Now we're all going to get in trouble!
*Basim: I will get him down.
*Young Eagle: Give me a moment!
Basim started climbing his way up the minaret.
*Basim: That child looks like he has gotten himself into a tricky situation.
Basim reached the platform at the top of the minaret.
*Basim: The boy is quite a climber.
He approached the boy.
*Young Eagle: If you come close, I will jump!
*Basim: My name is Basim, and I climbed up here without thinking it through. Do you think you could help me get down?
They looked at each other before Basim continued.
*Basim: When I was your age, I did all kinds of foolish things to impress my friends.
*Young Eagle: I did not do it for them, I did it for the Hidden Ones.
*Basim: Ah. The Hidden Ones.
*Young Eagle: Not everyone believes in them, but I do. They're the true protectors of the people. They were the ones who avenged my mother. Not the Caliph or his men. The Hidden Ones did that.
*Basim: I see. And you thought this would get their attention? Climbing up here?
*Young Eagle: I heard they can dive from great heights and not get hurt. But I cannot do something unless I see someone else do it first.
*Basim: Do you think you can do it if I showed you?
The boy nodded his head and stepped backwards while Basim performed the Leap of Faith into the haystack below. He then got out.
*Basim: You see? I am unharmed! Now, you go!
*Young Eagle: I cannot!
*Basim: Yes, you can! Do not overthink it! You simply need to have faith!
Gaining a brief moment of courage, the boy followed and jumped down into the haystack.
*Young Eagle: I am ... fine! Gimme a second...
*Basim: Are you hurt?
The boy got out of the haystack.
*Young Eagle: No ... nothing broken.
*Basim: You are a fast learner!
*Young Eagle: I told you. I can do anything if only someone shows me first.
*Basim: That is a valuable talent. Be sure to have a good teacher next time you try something risky like that.
*Young Eagle: You could teach me.
*Basim: I am no teacher. I still have much to learn.
*Young Eagle: No, you are a good teacher. You teach by example. A-are you.../
*Basim: Seek me out when your voice begins to break. Then we will talk.
*Child 1: Wah, that was amazing! Come on, Hytham! Before the mu'azzin catches us!
*Young Eagle: I am coming!
The children ran off along with the boy.
==Outcome==
Basim demonstrated how to do a Leap of Faith to a young Hytham, who managed to do it himself shortly after.
