Damien help Shadow and Wolf to a empty room. He helped them both get comfortable he called to one of the servants and told them to bring him some drinks before he turned to them. “Okay I need you to tell me what is going on. What do you mean Fox is dead?”. Shadow shuttered and Wolf looked like he wanted to howl with grief. Shadow gathered himself and began the story. “It was a few hours ago. Fox was in the main hall preparing to come and see you as a matter of fact. Then Cobra came into the hall. He was leading a large group of our own people and men from other gangs. Wolf and I were in the hall to and stood with our own people who were loyal to Fox. We didn’t know where Wraith was at the time. Cobra declared that Fox was unfit to lead our gang and that he was taking over. He issued a challenge of single combat and Fox was forced to accept. They fought for a time with Fox slowly beating Cobra down until Wraith appeared and stabbed Fox in the back. While Fox was stunned by the back stab Cobra struck him down. Then Cobra ordered the other men to attack us we had to fight our way out and we came here. I don’t know how many others survived or where they might have gone. I fear that Cobra might have sent some men to follow us so you might be in danger now Damien.” Damien listened to the story in silence and when Shadow talked about the danger he said, “Do not worry about the Danger I have defenses for this villa that will be difficult for anyone to defeat, and my servants are all trained in some form of combat. Rest now I will go and look to the defenses.”

Damien left the room and went down to the main hall. The other men were being treated or sitting in the main hall and rooms were being prepared for them. Damien turned to the side and went down lower into a basement room. The room was largely bare; the walls covered in runes and in the center of the room was a pedestal and an amulet was sitting on it a small coin with a rune of protection inscribes on it. Damien took the amulet and put it on the runes on the walls all flashed with power and Damien felt the defenses around the villa activate. Damien walked up the stairs again and was approached by a servant. “Sir, there are some men standing outside the gate. They are demanding the release to the people we took in.” Damien smile “Well, Let's go meet them.”
Damien and the servant when out to the gate and Damien saw a group of armed men. The front man in the group was robbed and hooded so Damien could not make out his face in the gloom. “You are the master of this place. Give us the men you are hiding here, or we will come and take them.” Damien smiled at them, come and take them then if you can.
