379 Dealing With The Traitors

The moment he vanished from their sight Daedalus had already killed all of the servants who where trying to escape. The group of Dales huddled together as they heard the screams of their servants. It was only then that Daedalus reappeared.

The old master was the first to spot him and quickly yelled "I am a child of the empress herself, leave this land at once!"

When Daedalus heard this he realised that the old man was probably telling the truth making him the cousin of Daedalus. So Daedalus said "That would make you my cousin then."

The old elf nodded violently and said "Yes, yes where family! If you wait a while we can prepare some food and catch up!"

Unfortunately Daedalus had got the man's hope up only to crush it when he said "I think you misunderstand, I am here to kill the traitors under order of the previous ruler, the empress Ceridwen."

After saying that Daedalus cut off the heads of all of the elves that where hidden behind the man. The old elf only looked back in time to see the heads of his family falling off as they collapsed.

Before the old elf even knew it the he had been tied up and was flying through the air. Daedalus had taken the moment the elf had blanked out to capture him in chains that absorbed energy leaving him defenseless.

The old elf was still in shock when they arrived at the palace a minute later. But Daedalus didn't mind, dropping the traitor on the ground and grabbing a free chain. Daedalus then pulled the man up the steps of the palace in front of the eyes of the populace outside the gates.

Entering the palace Daedalus saw that almost half of he elves had been chained up and placed in the center of the room. Daedalus walked over and placed the old elf, who was still in shock, with the other chained elves.

Seeing as he was back Daedalus was called over to the royals table where they asked what happened to the other traitors. Daedalus said only one word "Dead."

Ceridwen sighed and Daedalus spoke again "The elf I brought with me said he was your child, so I brought him here. I don't believe he was lying."

Ceridwen sighed and said "Yes, he was my son, but after a time he stopped cultivating and slowly reverted, it caused him to age much more rapidly. After that he stopped being my son, never even visited."

There was a clear disappointment in her voice, she had clearly favoured him. Knowing this Daedalus hoped his cousin wouldn't be too stubborn, but he knew better.

With all of the speaking done Baidu stood and said "Let's let them try to explain themselves."

To say the least, none of them had good reasons. Not one had a better reason than, "Elves are superior to all others!"
