From the tree Talon could see Ultimate-Zero being killed by some strange looking 
man, but that's not what really caught his attention.  He noticed Demise 
watching from behind some bushes.  He remembered fighting Demise 2 years ago.  
Demise had just assassinated a low ranking Soul Edge Clan member and was being 
pursued by several members of the clan.  He was fast enough to outrun most of 
them, but when he tried to escape by climbing the side of a cliff, Talon was 
able to catch up.  He pulled Demise off of the cliff.  As Demise hit the ground, 
Talon jumped down at him with dagger drawn.  Demise put his arm up in front of 
him and Talon scarred him from his elbow to the base of his hand.  Demise fought 
him a while and then got away.  Talon watched Demise, and wanted closure to that 
battle they started a year ago, but had something else in mind.  After the 
shadowy man killed Ultimate-Zero, Demise started to leave, and Talon covertly 
followed him.  Nobody knew where the Spyre Clan lived and Talon saw this as an 
opportunity to find out.  He shadowed Demise as he went Eastward.  He seemed to 
be going toward Karnough City.  Talon hated the thought.  Karnough was dirtier 
and more run down than any city he'd ever been to.  When Demise reached the town 
he went into one of the buildings on the outskirts of the town.  Talon started 
to get up from where he was hiding and go over to it when he was grabbed by 
someone.  He didn't see who because a cloth was immediately thrown over his head 
and he was knocked out.  When he regained consciousness after what didn't seem 
like a very long time he was tied up in a small wooden house.  Right beside him, 
Demise was also tied up.  Talon assumed that the suicide pill the Spyre always 
keep on the roof of their mouths had been taken out since Demise wasn't dead, 
but looked as if he wanted to be.  A middle aged man wearing a somewhat military 
looking uniform with several sashes and small chains added to it walked in and 
said, "I'm Hyru.  You are Soul Edge and Spyre.  Soul Edge, I want everything you 
know about the Scroll of Sangora.  Spyre, I'm not sure what information I want 
out of you yet so you'd better think of something good enough to tell me to keep 
me from killing you.  I have a cup of water in here.  You both have until I 
finish drinking it to think it over."  Hyru walked over to a table in the room, 
sat down, and took a drink from a cup that was sitting on the table.  He sipped 
at it casually as he watched Talon and Demise.  Talon looked over at Demise. . .
