-The Story so Far-

Ty Takahashi is on a Quest to find the members of his team, the Shadow Strike Force, and thus he forms a pact with the Dancer Primrose to help her complete her vengeance against the men who bear the mark of the crow.

In Stillsnow, the pair reunited with Escanor, Merlin, Tricera, Sting and Ban. After killing the Left Wing of the Crow known as Rufus, Primrose takes the group and leads them back to her old home in Noblecourt, where she hopes to find the truth.

Ty is also looking for answers of his own, as Rufus mentioned he isn't the only Immortal man alive in Orsterra. That and the condition of Diane is still on his mind, as well as the mysterious girl…

"So you guys are sure everyone else except King and Diane are in Noblecourt?" Ty asked.

"We needed to make sure no one got hurt and Rogue and I have been keeping tabs with one another thanks to Lector and Frosch." Sting said.

"Well that's a relief. Now just Diane and King are unaccounted for." Ty said.

"And Gowther too. No idea where he went after the fight we had. I dunno if he's even here." Ban said.

"What about the undead that were revived?" Tricera asked.

"From all we know, they haven't reacted to anything a person does and all seem to be moving in a straight line. As if they're going somewhere." Ban said.

"Yeah...that does sound strange." Ty said as they witnessed a dead merchant on the streets with some of the guards turning people away making it seem like an unfortunate accident.

"This isn't how I remember things." Primrose said.

"Maybe they've changed in the past 10 years you were away. Who knows?" Ty asked.

"Do my eyes deceive me? Is that truly you, Lady Primrose?" Asked a young man as he emerged from the dark.

"From long ago…" Primrose said.

"And yet you have even grown lovelier since those days, my lady." he said.

"Uh...who is this?" Ty asked.

"This is Simeon...he's a friend from when I was younger." Primrose said. "Where have you been all these years?"

"Not here, that is certain. True I started here as a prentice gardener but now I am a playwright in the Highlands in the city of Everhold." Simeon said.

"A playwright, eh? Sounds pretty cool." Ban said.

"Hey, if you ever get back there, maybe you could tell our pals we're looking for them. They're a giant and a fairy." Ty said.

"My...such odd beings to be in the Highlands...but I promise to keep an eye out." Simeon said.

"Okay thanks. The Giant's a girl and she has pigtails and wears an orange jumper with a skirt, and carries a warhammer as big as her. The fairy has an orange and blue sweatshirt and he's always seen floating around on some sort of pillow thing because...uh...well for reasons." Ty said.

"Thank you for the information. I'll look into it when I get back." Simeon said walking off. "We should catch up soon, Lady Primrose."

"Yes...we should." Primrose said seeing him walk off.

"I'm glad someone can report back on Diane and King while were helping you out, Prim." Ty said.

"It's good that you did that. Now, you can help me finish off the bastards who ended my father's life." Primrose said.

"Yup, that's why I'm here. You actually like having me around, do you?" Ty asked.

"I'll admit, when you first crossed my path, you were somewhat of an annoyance. But now, it's strange. I sort of enjoy your company." Primrose said.

"Hey, Ty!" a voice shouted as they saw Meliodas and the remaining members of Shadow Strike Force by the tavern.

"Yo, Meliodas!" Ty said as they grasped hands. "I was worried I would never find you guys."

"Next time, warn us when you decide to send us on a mission that strands us, you idiot!" Hawk snapped.

"Yeah, my bad." Ty chuckled. "I didn't really know I was sending you guys off to fight any of the Ten Commandments."

"Uh...we didn't fight any." Meliodas said.

"Yes..we were checking those areas you spoke of where we met this woman in black with black hair who sent us away." Elizabeth said.

"And she didn't even give her name?" Ty asked.

"I tried to read her memories...but...it's all chaotic and dark. Her name was the only thing I got...Lyblac." Gowther said.

"Hmm. This woman...her involvement with this is becoming more and more prominent. She's definitely connected to all of this. But...what could she gain with all these undead?" Ty thought to himself. "More so...what does she plan to do with them?"

"So...you all must tell me what has happened here." Primrose said.

"All we have are pieces of information. Apparently, after the Azelhart house fell, a group known as the Obsidians took possession of the land. The city watch was disbanded as they left corrupted guards in their place. As for who's in charge now...its a man with a crow on his right arm. He's currently occupying the Azelhart mansion." Rogue said.

"That is who I am after. That man." Primrose said.

"She's got 10 year issues with those Obsidian punks. We took out one of them back in Stillsnow." Ty said. "Now we're gonna clear them out of the house."

"Good luck. Rumor is the former captain of the guard fought those Obsidian guys but was never heard from after the death of Geoffery Azelhart." Minerva said.

"Thanks for the warning. Alright, Sting, Rogue, Ban, Frosch and Lector, you're with me and Prim. Everyone else hang back. If we're not back in an hour, come and look for us in the manor."

It wasn't long before Ty and his party departed to Azelhart manor where they fought through many guards before reaching the top floor where a man looked out the window.

"So...you have come. You're more tenacious than your father. You even clipped the left wing." the man said.

"And you're the right." Ty said.

"Our friend, Rufus, he was in charge of expanding our little circle of friends while I provide the coin. You can't even begin to imagine the problem you've caused for us." he said.

"You're right, we can't. But I can tell one problem you've caused. You killed Prim's father." Ty said.

"Yes...we did didn't we?" the man said showing his face.

"Wait...I know your face." Rogue said.

"You do?" Ty asked.

"This man is Albus...he was the leader of the city watch! The man of honor we mentioned in the bar." Rogue said.

"So he's one of the Obsidians? But why? What about honor?" Ty asked.

"Honor's all well and good, but it doesn't put food on the table." Albus said.

"Now I get it. You betrayed him and let those killers in. He trusted you...you were his friend...and you stabbed him right in the back." Sting said.

"This village was a rotten husk long before Geoffrey Azelhart met his end. Anyone with half a brain could tell the Obsidians were pulling all the strings from the shadows. I just cast my lot with the winning horse. A simple business decision." Albus said.

"I've heard just about enough of this." Ty said. "Time to clip another wing!"

"The only wings being clipped are yours." Albus said drawing two small sickle weapons. "I hope you like being blinded." he said rushing at Ty who quickly ducked back as the sickles almost cut out his eyes.

"I see. This guy goes for a person's eyes so they can't see." Ty thought.

"We can't get to close or calm with this guy. Attack and make sure he doesn't go for your eyes." Ban said.

"We'll need speed for that." Ty said.

"I'll take care of that." Primrose said. "The Panther Dance."

Primrose performed a dance that emitted an aura around the group.

"Now we can hit this guy." Ban said going at Albus and breaking one of his arms as Ty did the other.

"You are no man. Sting! Rogue! Finish this!" Ty said.

"You're going down!" Sting and Rogue said. "White Shadow Dragon's Rough Silk!" they said slicing apart Albus with beams of light and shadow.

"How's it feel, Crow?" Ty asked. "Of course...it's useless asking that considering you're dead."

"And then...there was one." Primrose said.

"But we don't know who that one is." Rogue said.

"Lady Primrose." a voice said as they saw Simeon emerge from behind a statue.

"Simeon? What...what brings you to this awful place?" Primrose asked.

"Ah yes. See, about that. There was something I simply had to tell you." Simeon said approaching Primrose before stabbing her with a dagger.

"What? He...Simeon...what are you doing?" Ty asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. But I heard you were looking for my friend here. And you know what they say about birds of a feather." Simeon said taking off his scarf to reveal a crow mark on his neck.

"You're… you're part of the Obsidians?!" Ty said.

"Oh I'm more than a part...I'm their leader." Simeon said. "Been leading them for almost 115 years now."

"115 years?!" Lector asked.

"It's you… you're the Immortal Rufus mentioned!" Ty realized.

"Yes...counting me, there are three people blessed with the gift of no aging. Me of course, that man of the church Mattias and of course, the one who blessed us with this gift, Lyblac of course." Simeon said. "But this is not their story. It is mine. I am the one in charge, the crow atop the roost and yes...the one who struck down your dear father, Lady Primrose."

"No...it...can't be." Primrose said.

"Bravo! Bravo Lady Primrose. That was an excellent performance. The audience gasps! At long last, she tracks down the villain she's been hunting for all these years...only to find its her one true love. Look at the tears she weeps, the blood she spills..and pity her. This tragedy...it moves me to the depths of my soul!" Simeon said. "Hehehehehe! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"You… you're a madman!" Ty said.

"Oh...and it gets even more interesting. You see...your friends King and Diane...my friends in Everhold found them...They'll be part of...executive performance I'll be holding in a few days." Simeon said.

"Damn you… making fun of love like this…!" Ban said thinking of Elaine.

"Oh...I almost forgot...the cream atop this wonderful performance. You may come out now." Simeon said as a figure stepped out of the shadows.

"Ah!" Sting gasped.

"No way!" Ty said.

"It can't be…" Rogue said in shock.

"I don't believe it… it's…" Ban said. "Elaine…"

"Yes...I know of your story, Sin of Greed, Ban. The man who gained an immortal body but lost his one true love. But here she stands...but no longer on the side of her love...but now risen as an enemy." Simeon said.

Elaine floated to Simeon's side wearing a black dress and red shoes.

"I've finally found you...Elaine." Ban said crying.

"Master...should I kill them?" Elaine asked.

"No...that would ruin this wonderful scene. We'll leave them be. I'm sure they'll be after us soon enough." Simeon said.

"Just you wait till we get to Everhold, you bastard. You're gonna pay for toying with Elaine, Diane and Kings Lives like some sorta puppet!" Ty said.

"There's that sense of justice...I'll enjoy seeing it fall apart when you arrive." Simeon said as he and Elaine vanished.

Ty then looked to Ban who was saddedned as Ty went up to him. He patted him on his shoulder.

"I promise you, Ban…. were gonna get Elaine back. No one, and I mean NO ONE, messes with a love story like yours and Elaine's. I swear we'll get her and our friends back… and put that maniac down." Ty said.

"Yeah...I feel the same. First we gotta heal and fix up Primrose...then we're going there...and put an end to that bastard." Ban said.

It was a few days later that Primrose was healed and fixed as the group gathered up as they headed out of Noblecourt.

"We're coming for you, Simeon. Your play is about to reach its end." Ty said.

And so Primrose and her comrades left home once more, her ultimate goal finally in reach. Only now-knowing the man's true identity- finds each of her footsteps heavier than lead.

Ty now must go with Primrose to Everhold to free Diane and King from Simeon's clutches, and put an end to his mad play. As for Ban, his reasons are well known on what to do. Go to Everhold, find Simeon and kill him, and reclaim Elaine as his lover.

The final act awaits them…
