Dealing with a Treacherous Family

Just past where Daedalus had executed Ziandier a crowd of nobles and commoners that hadn't been invited where staring at the scene with horror and disgust. Most where shocked to find two men suddenly appearing, more where shocked when one of the mens head was cut off.

Daedalus was in a hurry now as he knew the Dale family would have gotten news from there few allies within the venue. So without much thought Daedalus placed the corpse into his storage ring before using his movement technique's to disappear from everyone's sight.

It didn't take long for Daedalus to spot the Dale family. They where hurrying out of their mansion with tens of storage rings on their hands and in their pockets. With this Daedalus could tell they could have left fast enough if they hadn't been told well in advance.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took only a moment after spreading his senses before he could see that not even the servants had left the compound yet. So Daedalus checked for formations and escape routes. The family was either shockingly arrogant or shockingly stupid, not one hidden exit or formation.

Seeing as there where no issues to his safety Daedalus sent his senses over the people. Daedalus could now sense the hints of divine energy so he would be capable of running if he had to. It was just too disappointing, all of them where below the Immortal Path stage except one extremely old elf who was only at the immortal tether stage.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dale family had been part of the elven empire's nobility ever since it's creation. The family itself was born from a child of Ceridwen, however over the centuries they became arrogant. Ceridwen hadn't noticed their arrogance as they where her trusted advisors since the beginning.

So they where surprised when they got word from Frost stating that they had to leave as quickly as possible. They had been found out for their embezzlement. The master of the household ordered everyone to get the storage rings and follow him.

Of course even if he hadn't they would have done so, they where the livelihood of the family and they would need the money. Unfortunately they hadn't taken the warning very seriously, they only knew how unfortunate when the air turned cold.

A man had appeared with the freezing of the air, like a breeze that flutters passed unseen. He was wrapped in a black so dark it looked unnatural in the light of day, as though the light itself where being devoured.

The old master, stood forward when he man appeared, he looked worried. The old master then said "Why is one of the divine here, is there a problem?"

The man laughed unnaturally at the words of the old master. Then he turned and said in a deep and dark tone "You are traitors to the empire, your genius, Ziandier, is dead. The rulers have asked me to dispose of the treacherous leech amongst the nobles."

The voice of the man brought visions of torture from the family. But the man disappeared from their sight before they could defend themselves.
