As they where done with their food and drinks Daedalus and Andromeda left the Star pavillion branch only to be stopped a few metres from the exit. A large man could be seen glaring at them with hatred in his eyes. Before Daedalus could say anything the man had attacked him with a strong sword swing.
Daedalus was caught by surprise and took the blow to his arm almost cutting it off. Andromeda screamed, frightened by the sudden attack. She quickly sent a high density water beam at the man however before it could hurt him he had used his sword to slash it in half.
Daedalus having gotten out of the suprise due to the large amount of pain, took out his sword and a small talisman. Daedalus then took his sword and slashed it at the man as he blocked Andromeda's first attack. The man was strong though and managed to twist his sword around and stop the attack.
Daedalus seeing this immediately yelled "Andromeda, the talisman, now!"
Andromeda hearing this activated her own talisman. While her talisman activated the man tried to attack her from behind however Daedalus got in front of him and guarded Andromeda from the strike. While he guarded Andromeda from the sword wielding man Daedalus began to move his mana throughout his body while also moving his Qi from his dantian to strengthen his body. Daedalus pushed his volatile mana into his sword causing it to erupt in flames while at the same time his legs and arms glowed with an almost golden colour.
The man seeing this began using his own energies and began glowing with a slightly darker brown colour. With the increases to strength the two continued fighting it out. Daedalus' arm that had been injured had finally healed enough that he could use it causing Daedalus to be able to better handle the situation.
The man seemed to be getting slightly frantic in his attacks as he began taking more and more risks. Daedalus of course caught on to this and said "Why did you attack us?"
The man replied "I have to, they have my family!"
Daedalus knocked the man down in his next swing causing the man to swing wildly at Daedalus while he tried to get up. Daedalus easily dealt with the wild attacks and knocked the sword away with ease. Just as Daedalus was going to start questioning the man, Andromeda finished summoning Danforth and Sherry. Daedalus asked them to put some pressure on the man's soul so that he could get some answers.
As the pressure came over the man he stiffened and a look of utter horror could be seen on his face. Seeing this Daedalus began questioning the man, asking things like who sent you where are they keeping your family. In the end the man cracked telling Daedalus that it was the father of the boy they just injured however that wasn't related to the attack. The boy's father had sent the man to kill Daedalus for a reason that he hadn't been told. The man had also been following them for a long time.
The final thing he said before pa.s.sing out due to the pressure was that his family was being held in the capital.
