Dantherian sprinted to the house where he had been staying and grabbed his pack. The elderly couple look at each other and laughed and waved to Dantherian as he sprinted back toward the coachman. He signed out a horse and rode up next to Mi'anna.
"I am ready whenever you are m'lady." Dantherian said tightening his sword belt.

Naldany started to chant a spell to hit Keyra, but before she released it Shadowwbreath grabbed her hands and lifted them into the air, send her spell skyward. He struck her in the back of her neck knocking her out. He held a sword to her neck and smiled at Phelan.
" Keyra... the child went towards Highpass go get your baby."
Keyra smiled at Loveless and dissappeared into the woods.
Mi'anna smiled and gave her horse a gental nudge.
" Why are you so far from home.... I was to get a parchment from my master to his colliege in Freeport, funny I ended up with this little fella."

Keyra used her vanish spell to speed her movement to Highpass. She had caught the scent the girl and Aramis... and they wasn't moving very fast. It smelled like they had just recently departed the outpost. Keyra went directly to the coachman and checked his register, she was heading to Darvar manor and Keyra knew a short-cut though the bandit hills.

As Phelan stood there helpless to do anything, Loveless walked infront of Phelan boastfully and over to Shadowbreath and took Naldany in his arms. He gave a sinister look to Phelan and brought Naldany's face closer to his.
" She smells like Nikkii you know."
He ran his hand down her arms and then one her leg.
" I wonder if Nikkii feels this way.... perhaps a kiss."
Loveless kissed Naldany then licked the side of her face.
" Oh she taste sweet Phelan..... I envy you. But I think I need to provide cover for our escape. I don't need you following my little hunter and my band."
Loveless placed Naldany on a horse and tied her arms around its neck. Tyroc summoned his lion and did the same to Adaun. He sent the lion of to the north and Loveless drew his sword and sent the horse back towards the dessert stronghold of the paladins of marr.
" You have some choices to make... chase the lion and get your sister before she is devoured.... or go after the princess which she will be safe until the knights of marr get her..... they don't like teir'dal or pursue us to the west Keyra will gain on " her " baby soon and I will see she does."
Tyroc casts his spell to speed their movement and they leave Phelan to his decision. The lion seemed to move much slower than than the horse. Naldany started to come to and realised that she was restrained to the horse. Adaun's ropes wasn't tied very well as they started to come loose.

Phelan leaped onto a horse and went after Naldany while the silent master chased after Adaun. The outpost of Marr became closer and closer and the guards visable. The lion started trying to get Adaun to slide down infront of it. She grabbed its mane and held on tight as the silent master neared to her. Suddenly her grip broke and the ropes came loose. Adaun slid off and hit the ground with a thud, and the lion got into position to jump on her. It was stopped in mid-air by the shadowy elf as he cut the head off the lion as it leaped.
Phelan was now close enough to reach over and grab the horses reins and force it to stop. Naldany was furious that she had to be saved again. Loveless and his group had a huge headstart on them and Keyra was even further as the monk and elf was crossing the large bridge into Darvar manor as the sun set to the west.
Keyra was within site of the bridge and had the sent of Aramis. Mi'anna and Dantherian was enjoying the small talk they had as the went into the manor and got food and milk. Before long Keyra had entered the manor as well..

Phelan held Naldany close as he cut her free of her bonds.
"Are you alright?" Phelan asked as he looked across the horizon with anticipation. He was already guiding the horse back in the direction they needed to go as she opened her mouth to speak.

" No... I'm so sick of this... I want our son back and I want the elf wench myself. Then where is aunt Nikkii I would have thought she could have done something more... " Tears our anger and frustration trailed down her face as her eyes grew darker and more like Nikkii's.
" I am not some weakling.... not a princess and I hate to be treated like this.... that monster touched me didn't he?"
She looked over to Phelan and bit her bottom lip trying to calm herself as they started after Loveless and Keyra.
It wasn't long once Keyra entered the inn that she found Mi'anna and Dantherian eating with Aramis asleep in her backpack. She openly approached them with a smile and started looking Aramis over. Mi'anna looked to Danth for a reaction to what he told her about Keyra.

Dantherian's mirthful expression fell away from his face and he stood to his feet placing his helmet upon his head. He drew his sword and pointed it in Keyra's direction.
"You are a criminal, you are wanted in Fayspire. I give you the choice to come along peacefully." Dantherian said without any hesitation in his voice though he knew he was outclassed, he would do what was right. He positioned himself between Keyra and the child and stood his ground.

Keyra looked at the brave elf and let out a growl at him.
" You had better move ... I won't hesitate to rip you to pieces."
Keyra flashed her teeth at Dantherian and drew her swords. Mi'anna quickly grabbed Aramis and darted outside. Keyra leaped out behind her and pushed her down. Mi'anna took care to make sure she protected Aramis as she fell to the ground. Keyra stood over her with her sword to her neck.
" Death awaits you girl and I thank you for your help."

Phelan felt his own anger rise.
"Maybe if you hadnt' been so rash and left on your own, this wouldn't have happened. We will get Aramis back but whining won't solve anything." Phelan said harshly. He was already regretting his outburst, but he kept his feelings of regret inside, he had already done enough, he thought.

Dantherian bolted out the door after the corrupted elf. He wouldn't let her take that child or harm the girl without a fight. Keyra stood over the girl with her swords to her neck.
Dantherian continued running and threw himself with all of his force into Keyra, taking the both to the ground. Dantherian felt a sharp pain and her metal peel as Kerya struggled with him on the ground. Something slammed into Dantherians face and darkness filled his vision and a copper taste filled his mouth. He struggled on though he couldn't see, hoping to distract Keyra long engouh to spare the girl and the baby.

Naldany looked at Phelan in shock and dried her eyes as she forced the horse to go faster and tried to drive the horse into exhuastion.
" Phelan I want to be more independent like Nikkii and Darlena... I can't even do much without messing it up."
As they reached Highpass during the night and they started thier seach of the area. They overherd some familar voices in one of the taverns it sounded like the elf that assisted Loveless.

Keyra struck at Dantherian several times as they rolled around till she had broke free of his grip. and almost immediately she recieved a few quick punches and a kick to her head. Mi'anna stood ready to challenge Keyra. Mi'anna assumed a fighting stance as Keyra rolled to her feet away from the blinded elf.
" You will die for this.. girl"
Keyra transformed into her werewolf form and with a quick movement buried her claw into Mi'anna stomach. A trail of crimson flowed her her mouth as Keyra pulled back a bloody claw leaving the girl to fall to the ground gasping for air. Keyra grabbed the back pack as she reverted to her normal self as Aramis started crying again.
" This is what will happen to anyone who stands in my way."

Dantherian sucked in air with pain, but he knew that he would survive. He forced himself to a sitting position, his head felt as though it would float away on the breeze. He blinked the blood from his eyes and looked around.
His stomach churned as he watched the girl Mi'anna laying on the ground sucking air, blood flowing from her midsection and her mouth. Dantherian broke himself from his stare and struggled over to her, he placed his hand upon her head and mumbled a quiet prayer to Tunare.
A light shone down from the sky and swirled around them. Mi'anna trembled as the magic coursed through her. Dantherian fell to the ground exhausted and in pain. Dantherian looked to Mi'anna laying in a pool of her own blood, she was pale but she was drawing breath normally; he smiled and looked to the clouds one last time before he closed his eyes, unable to open them.
Dantherian wondered when he would awake from his slumber as the darkness swirled about him.

Phelan had remained silent for the entire trip. His words and Naldany's response had been eating at him inside like a famished wolf. He couldnt' keep his regret in any longer. He grabbed her by the arms and made her look at him. "You need not imitate anyone else, most of all Nikkii..." Phelan said quietly with a bit of disgust in his voice. "You are your own person, I am sorry I snapped at you... I am just frustrated, I want Aramis back more than anything...I can't fathom losing either one of you, but to lose you both would leave me no reason to remain here on this world." Phelan said in a quiet voice as they stood outside the door to the inn.
Phelan hugged her breifly and then let go of her.
"What we do is up to you." Phelan said being careful not to let his voice carry into the din of the tavern.
