As Lecious and the silent master rode on in the sands, they had begun to follow a horse’s tracks that they had spotted. At one point, the tracks faultered and then continued on. They stopped to investigate further.
“What is it?” Lecious asked as he cursed the heat.
“The wind has blown away some of the indentations in the sand, but I believe someone laid here, and whoever was on the horse, picked them up and continued to ride,” the assassin answered back.
“The one on the horse was Phelan. If it was anyone else, we would have caught up to them by now. Our next stop is the inn. We will arrive there shortly,” Lecious explained.
They then kicked their horses and were on the pursuit again.

"Why dont' you turn in this horse, while I ask around? I wil still be here when you come back." Phelan said to Naldany.
He lept from the horse and entered the Inn. Phelan knew better than to try and throw his weight around in here, you never know who you might run into, he thought. Phelan made an attempt at wiping the dirt off of his face as he entered. All of the occupants glanced at him and the innkeep gawked at him.
Well one question had been answered Keyra had been here. Now to find out where she went and if she still had Aramis. Phelan walked over to the bar and sat down on the stool, the Innkeep watched him the whole time.
"What can I get ya?" The Innkeep finally said after a few more moments of staring at him.
Phelan hadn't planned on ordering anything, but his intense pace had finally caught up with him. His face was hagard and dirty, his hair had come loose in the frantic ride and his muscles were starting to ache.
"Anything that will take the edge off a troubled mind." Phelan said with a sigh.
"Here you are." The Innkeep said handing him a mug, of what only the God's knew. Phelan took the mug and drank anyways. The Innkeep spoke again.
"So whats your troubles?" The Innkeep said in a semi-friendly tone.
Phelan chuckled, which ones he thought. Phelan's chuckle soon turned into a frown and a sadness crept into his eyes as tears threatened to fall down his cheeks.
"Someone has stolen my child. I pursued the fiend from Neriak, it is obvious she has been here, would you at least be willing to tell a heartbroken father where to find his only son?" Phelan said as Naldany walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him.

" Hmmm there was a elf girl here just last night, She had a baby .... I tell you he kept kicking and hitting her took another woman to calm him down and it turned out the she wasn't just a regular elf she was a werewolf. Yes, they torn that room up this morning three hunters went in after her she killed one and disappeared."
" And the baby? Where did it go?"
" I'm sorry lady the baby was gone before I showed up. The girl that helped her feed it left here as well. They might have went to Highpass."
Naldany burst into rage with the man and grabbed him by his coller knocking over several drinks and making a scene.
" Tell me human what did the girl look like?"
Her eyes darken as she was about to kill the innkeep if he did not speak quickly.
" Sir please calm her or I will not assist you further. Hold on a second...... your the killers I herd her mention arent you .... O'seth's. You vile people leave them be."

Lecious and the silent master finally arrived at the inn. The silent master sniffed the air as he and Lecious walked into the tavern. He smirked beneath his veil. Patryas would be pleased. They had caught up to Phelan. Not wanting to alarm Naldany and Phelan, the assassin calmly walked up next to Phelan and looked the innkeeper in the eye. As his dark and scratchy voice emanated from his throat, all the occupants of the tavern stopped what they were doing. Four dark elves was never a good thing for them.
“If you want to know what a real killer is, please, by all means, continue to give them trouble,” the silent master said to the innkeeper.
Phelan gave him a look of surprise, as did Naldany.
The assassin heard a couple people stand up from their ale. He slowly turned around and let the fire from his eyes spread across the room. His eyes were wide with anticipation; we wanted someone to try something. He looked like he could jump at any moment. Or snap at any moment. Slowly, the inn’s inhabitants sat back down. He turned his attention back to the innkeep.
“The child,” he simply said and watched as the innkeep shrank under the gazes of the threatening Tier’dal.

Dantherian couldnt' find the voice that had called to him despite his best efforts. No one knew of this girl nor had anyone seen her. It seemed that she had vanished into thin air. He should have left a few weeks ago but he couldn't.
How many times had he packed up his things only to hesitate at the gates and return to the house where he had been staying. The couple that had let him stay there only chuckled when he returned in the evening.
Datherian had spent the last few weeks wandering the crowds in High Pass, he felt like there was something he was supposed to do there. Maybe the calling he had felt a few weeks ago was for a greater task yet to come.

The Innkeep trembled with fear and rose his chin in defiance. Phelan was so tired of this stero type that followed him because of his heritage, why resist it anymore, he thought to himself.
"Look, I started our conversation off polietly... You with hold information from two destressed parents and you expect them to be rational, I think not. I promise you great pain and suffering if you do not tell me what I wish to know." Phelan said adding to the silent one's threat.
Phelan bared a good portion of his blades, they rang as he made the movement. Thier polished finish caught the light and glistened as if daring someone to push him.

Adaun and Lovless arrived in freeport. The coachman looked at them as if trying to remember something, then a light of rememberance crossed his eyes.
"You must be his sister....He wanted you to look around the inn before following, what ever that means." The coachman said, a tiny bit of fear leaked into his tone.
"Thank you." Adaun said and walked back to Loveless who was talking to some women that had just arrived on horse back.
"Loveless! Get over here." Adaun hissed at him.
"Farewell Ladies....What?" He said as he walked up to Adaun.
"Phelan wanted us to looked around at the inn to see if we could find her trail."
"I keep telling you, that all you need to do is let me...change and I could have us there in no time." He said with a smile.
It was a smile that Adaun didn't trust, but they had lost a great deal of time because of how heavy Loveless was in shackles.
"Fine. I will get a new horse and follow you, but if you try to run..." Adaun trailed off patting the quiver of arrows on her hip.

Naldany let a spark of lighting strike a glass beside the innkeep before dropping him to the floor.
" The girl she was a monk.... brown hair. She was with the guard detachment from Highpass... please get the crazed woman out of my establishment will you. I hope they slay you .... your not the childs parents.... murderers."
Naldany started to draw her sword angered by the humans accusations.
Loveless looked at Adaun and smiled at her again.
"You very beautiful ......especially when you threaten me."
Loveless changed to his wolf form and started off. Two other men came out of one off the taverns, Loveless shot them a glance and motioned back towards Adaun. They stood and waited for Adaun to pass by.
Mi'anna have finished tending to Aramis and had took him to the wagon and got in. A few minutes later they was on there way to Highpass. Keyra ran back down towards the inn unknowing that she passed Aramis and was heading towards Phelan and Naldany.

"If we were merely murders, I would have everyone in here and left you for last to tell me what I wanted to know, I would leave a swath of death where I went and all would know who did it, there is only one that will die and that is that Damned elf that stole my child!" Phelan said as he grabbed Naldany and ushered her out the door.
The entire inn was silent, no one moved or breathed, until the Dark elf party left.

" She's been lying to people ..... and who are these people... friends of yours my love?"
Naldany went to the horses and got on one. She glared at the strange new dark elfs as they got on horses too.
" We need to hurry.... before she tells more lies."
Loveless led Adaun outside of the city gates. The other two kept there distance and followed them as Loveless ran towards the inn.
" Please keep up bandits are numerous here..."
He said with a hintful tone.

"I know him." Phelan said pointing at the silent one. "He watched over you when you had Aramis, dont' you remember?" Phelan said. "This must be the Lecious that Patryas spoke of, Patryas sent them."

"Your servants, master Phelan," Lecious replied back.
"Our master did not want any harm to come to the Seladria family," Lecious added.
Lecious put a containment ward on the inn so they wouldn't followed.
The silent master eyed the people outside the inn. No soldiers or warriors.
"I can trace the child's magical emanations. Of course it does not take me to the exact location, but it will suffice. If that is alright?" Lecious asked the parents.

" You saw me then !!!! Oh dear that was not meant to be seen by an outsider.... I'm so embarrassed now. I was under a spell and wasn't in control of myself."
Naldany's cheeks turn reddish as she hid her face from the silent teir'dal.
Keyra was almost within sight of the Inn again and caught the scent of Naldany. Apon her closer look she saw they didn't have the baby.

"We dont' have time for this, every second we spend here Aramis gets that much farther away and Keyra also, I want her head on my mantle. Lecious lead the way if you would please." Phelan said as he rode up next to Naldany and put his arm around her.

Loveless continued to run infront of Aduan. He looked back to see how close she was then stopped and started sniffing the ground. He gave Adaun another glance before returning to his dark elf form.
" It would seem that Phelan has been joined by some others ... in addaiton to that nice smelling wife of his..... oh the things we could do together."
Loveless smells the ground again.
" Oh definately she was sitting right here."
