"To hell with it. I'm chasing her down and getting some damn info." Tyrfen said, jumping up on the balcony and following Sara as Renstar and the knights entered the hall.
"We have you now!" Renstar said, pointing his blade at Sygo.

"...You know what... YOU HAVE JUST SEALED YOUR DEATH!!!" Sygo screamed, as his eyes turned to the darkest shade of crimson they ever had before. His claws extended nearly an inch, and he lunged at Renstar, slashing at his throat

Renstar deflected Sygo's hand with his gauntlet, as he released a fireball, that burned many of the Cant soldiers to death.
"Doma wants your heads!" He called.

Upstairs, Tyrfen tracked Sara, who had headed to a balcony overlooking the Favideel grave site. He kept his back to the wall, drawing a knife.

"Start talking!" Tyrfen called, stepping out from the corner with the knife drawn. But Sara was gone. Tyrfen ran to the balcony, and saw her running across the ground to the graveyard with the sword holster in hand.
"Ah shit..." Tyrfen said, jumping off the balcony after her.

Tyrfen pursued Sara towards the graveyard, where she walked into the center...and was approached by a old man, carrying a gigantic rusted sword. The man was wearing torn, ragged noble clothing, and soaked in blood. A faint pink aura shined around him and the sword.
"God dammit, it's the theif..." Tyrfen thought, drawing a second knife.

"Seems I've lost the group I agreed to help. It matters not, didn't know them long enough to care" Drake thought to himself, having stepped foot on the graveyard where the three were. He was just a few feet away from Tyrfen, as he walked closer, noticing the other two as well.
"What do we have here..."

"GODDAMMIT!" Tyrfen swore, nearly avoiding a gigantic swing from the thief. The slash released tremors across the area, shaking the land from the strength of just one strike.
"Disarm him!" Sara called. "Then give me the sword!"

The thief swung again, as Tyrfen side stepped the sword, but was knocked flying from the sheer impact of the sword hitting the ground. While he was airborne, he tossed his lance straight through the thief's skull.

The theif then seized the spear, pulling it straight out of his face as he swung again, sending tremors through the ground. Tyrfen jumped over it, strafing in a circle around the Zanbatou thief.
"How am I supposed to get close to this thing? One swing and I'm on my ass if he misses, and a massive mess of organs if he hits."

"He's still alive? Could he be a demon?" Drake thought, as he drew both his swords.
"Kid, explain to me what keeping him alive and I'll help you!" Drake yelled towards Tyrfen.

"He's got the Zanbatou! You can't kill someone using that swo- wait, what?" Tyrfen yelled, narrowly ducking a 4th Zanbatou slash.

"Figures. But to use it, he'd need to be a member of the Cant family, so does that mean he is?" Drake said, slowly walking over to the thief.

"Dunno! Either way, stop talking and HELP ME!" Tyrfen shouted, as he jumped on top of the Zanbatou as it stabbed at Tyrfen. The blade released a powerful gust of wind from the thrust, blowing Tyrfen off and through a headstone.

"I'll just knock this thing out of his hands" Drake took a deep breath, as he launched himself straight forward at the thief. Holding both swords behind his back, he aimed sending a vertical slash at the thief.

The theif looked at the swords, which went through his face and chest. No visible damage was done, as the theif whirled the Zanbatou around and swung at Drake.

Drake ducked away from the range of the attack. He flipped both swords upwards, thrusting them at the blade of the Zanbatou.

The thief brought the sword down, causing a small earthquake level tremor that unbalanced Drake. He then did a full spin slash of the Zanbatou, while Tyrfen climbed a tree and held a chunk of the headstone he broke.

Managing to position both his swords in front of him, Drake blocked the blow, launching him into a nearby tree. Standing up, he had a annoyed look on his face.
"I can't stand bastards like this who hide behind their weapons. Without it, he would've been dead already.

"Guuuaaaaa...." The theif groned, brandishing the blade. "I will...live..."
Tyrfen then tossed the headstone into the back of his skull, while jumping off the tree and grabbing the theif's neck in a choke lock.

Drake immediatly responded by running over to the two, aiming a kick at the handle of the sword.

The sword went out of the man's grip, flying across the graveyard as the aura vanished. Tyrfen then stabbed him through the throat, killing him.

"There we go. Good riddance." Tyrfen said, kicking the body to the floor. Sara picked up the Zanbatou and sheathed it, as Tyrfen turned on her.
"Now, why did you lie? Tell me right now before I get pissed."

"Isn't it obvious?"
"What?"
"Immortal thief. Zanbatou only works for Cant family members. There's only two living Cant family members.
"...Eh?"
"Yeah, that's my dad."

"They came at him...these strange cultists, wielding dark magic and dressed in black. He fought them, but they landed a mortal blow. He was always so scared of dying...and he knew if he stopped fighting, the Zanbatou would not keep him alive. So he ran wild, fighting and killing to avoid what he feared in a insane spree of fear. We told the public he was just ill, so they wouldn't freak out knowing their lord was killing them..."

"Just not fit for the job, I'll tell you. Killing the lives of the very people he is supposed to protect to save his own, it doesn't quite seem like a acceptable lord."

"It was because he saw my mother tortured to death...by those same cultists that came for him. He...he was afraid of death after that...it's a long story. But..."
"Meh. Either way, Bane's knights should leave now."
"Wait...what?" Sara said, alarmed.

"Yeah, Bane sent some of his guys to help out with the ghost thief...or your father. They turned on us though, so..."
"I never even let word of the fake story out of this city! How would they know?"

"Whatever it is, the opponent is dead and the fight is done. I have no need to involve myself into other people their problems, so I'm done here." Drake said, walking to the direction of the city.
