" I didn't say anything to her she just came up and started yelling at me."Backing away from Phelan.
" I was spying on the hunters camp to see if they was gonna attack us again."
" What did you see there? " Phelan pressed.
" The three hunters that fled, a green haired elf, and a erudite woman."
" That must be Keyra then.. we gotta do something" Wilkens added.
" We could kill her or leave her for the hunters that way they will leave us alone."
Darlena started to mumble something .
" Shal..... sto.... stop it......what are you doing......"

" You see that shes still crazed we should leave her." Shalandra said panicing.
" No She helped me out now its time to return the favor. She mentioned going to Klick' Anon so we should take her there."
" Phel you know I'm with you .. what about you Wilkens ?"
" I'd rather find out about my mother, but I'll go with Slyfoot."
They look toward Shalandra who seemed a bit distracted at the moment.
" Whh .... what are you looking at it?"
" Are you going to continue traveling with us?"
" Yes if you will allow me to."
Phelan picks up Darlena and the starts off to the gnome city, however Keyra notices them leaving and decides to follow them.

Phelan walked with Darlena in his arms and Kalysta walking beside him. He wished that he had an elven friend right now, he really didnt' feel like walking so close to the elven city being a dark elf and traveling with two more. And he really didn't feel like walking all the way to Klick Anon. In fact the more he thought about it he realized he only had the vaguest idea of where it may be located. He wished that Darlena would wake soon. He didnt' know what happened but if Darlena had a different story than Shal he knew that they had a problem. Phelan trusted Darlena and he thought he trusted Shal, but from the talking and mumbling that Darlena had been doing it was starting to become apperent that there maybe two different stories. Phelan scowled, he hated things being complicated, he liked things going smoothly. He walked on one foot in front of the other.

Keyra continued to follow the group her interest was peaked by the fact the red head was being carried. She wondered if Lady Nikkii's spy did her job. Then she thought of a way to do it. She ran past them then donned the appearance of a teir'dal making sure to change her hair color to brown.She saw a boar ahead of them an had an idea. She attacked the animal taking care that it crosses their path. The wounded animal moved straight for Wilkens before she could draw her swords Keyra threw a dagger to the back of its skull.
" Oh dear me I'm sorry I let that get away."
" Well you should take more care then." Wilkens commented
" Well this is truely odd a human traveling with a few teir'dal. " She looks at Phelan holding the slumbering Darlena. " What happened to her Neriak is only over that mountain take her there."
" We are heading to Klick Anon stranger if you could point us in its direction." Keyra smiles as she knows she has an opportunity to finish Darlena off.
" Oh me oh my how rude of me my name is Verlana O'seth."

" O'seth.. I thought that house was mainly clerics and wizards but you seem to be a rouge."Kalysta commented.
" Indeed am am the youngest an have been deemed the least talented so my sisters send me out to hunt."
"Well don't let us keep you from your duties."
"nonsence.. they won't miss me much I can guide you there its not too much further from here, please follow me"

Phelans eyes narrowed only showing blood red slits. Phelan knew that yet another dark elf would just draw that more attention to them. Something didn't sit right with him, this tier'dal was overly nice for not knowing them.
"I merely asked for directions I did not invite you to join us! " Phelan barked.
"Know your place whelp, you stand in the presences of House Saledria!" Phelan said raising his chin.

Hmmmm, I'm not familiar with that house name..... are they a important house? Tapping her fingure on her chin.
" Hey and why are you speaking anyway? Last I checked you "men" aren't incharge. Besides its not polite to turn down a helpful offer."
" Why are you helping us anyway." Wilkens asked.
"Hehe.... Oh my a human too you certainly are a odd grouping, is she your servant?" A piece of green hair briefly flashed then turned back to brunette.

Phelan still didnt' trust her but she knew that his house no longer existed. Phelan still scowled at her and glared. He looked down to Darlena in his arms, they needed to get to Klick soon before they were attacked again.
"It is up to the rest of you if you wish this...one... to travel with us. I strongly advise against it. " Phelan said looking from each of the women to the other.

Nikkii's voice fills Keyra's head. Suddenly Keyra approached Kalysta then looked to Phelan and Darlena.
" She looks exactly like someone I know.. who is her parents her similarity is striking.."
" You ask alot of questions for a complete stranger and amongst our kinda that is abnormal."
Kalysta manuvers herself between Keyra and Phelan as she made her point. Keyra reached behind her drawing one of her daggers and inched toward Kalysta with a smile on her face.
" Its the curse of youth....or so thats what my mistress tells me?"
" Your mistress?" Phelan said
" Yes Lady Nikkii ! " Keyra's Dark elf guise dropped just as she rushed into Kalysta. She slashed her left arm then stabbed her in the right shoulder. I shock Phelan dropped Darlena making her hit her head on a rock and rushed to stop Keyra from doing further damage to her but Keyra had noticed the and spun Kalysta toward him and kicked her in the back.
" Hehehe you was right not to trust me Phelan. But m'lady calls and I must go to her. Ta ta. "
Keyra uses her vanish spell to dissapear and with great speed flees the area leaving a frushtrated Phelan with two injured women.

" No.. You won't get away with hurting anymore of my friends." Wilkens takes off after Keyra matching her stride. Phelan allowing his rage to build as Kalysta struggled to get up cursed himself. Shalandra was happy now cause the heat was off her now and Keyra would be the focus of him and Kalysta's attention. Darlena now had some blood dripping from her head from the impact.
" You monster all you do is hurt. You have my mother hostage and I want you to let her go." Wilkens charged as she followed Keyra.
Keyra made herself visable and turned to face Wilkens.
" You mean that wench enchantress didn't tell you then.."
" Tell me what?"
" Oh me .. oh my.... why shes been dead for a few days now."
" YOU LIER !!!! "
:: chuckles ::
" She didn't tell you did she? Awww too bad . What a shame to have two disreaspectful children. She felt so alone and forgotten."
:: Sly how could you keep this from me? Answer me.::
Keyra rushed up to Wilkens and punched her several times to the face then once to the midsection doubling her over.
" I have no interest in killing you so shoo..."
Keyra kicks her in the stomach then vanishes yet again heading to meet Nikkii.

Phelan let his rage go seeing the blood run down Kal's delicate skin. He held her in his arms trying to make sure that she was ok, Phelan quickly ripped off his shirt and tore it into strips trying his best to compress the wounds to stop the bleeding. She just looked at him, her face pale but her eyes never left his till they closed. Phelan lunged to catch her and gently lay her down to the ground.
Phelan then turned his attention to Darlena who in the heat of the moment he had dropped. Phelan cursed himself silently as he looked upon her. He could see that her head was bleeding. He took his final strip of shirt and wrapped it around her head. He knew that he would need help and they would need it soon, otherwise both women could be in serious trouble.
" Shal....why dont' you go see what is going on with Wilkens, go help her catch that...that....that....." he voice trailed off as he shook visably with rage. " Just go do something, instead of standing there!! "

Shalandra was startled by Phelan's anger but knew this was what she wanted to happen in the first place.
" Y...y... yes of coarse." Shalandra trots off in the direction Wilkens went. Phelan went to Kalysta and realised that she was burning up as sweat dribbled across her forehead and tears started to fall. Phelan could feel his anger growing as he thought of Keyra's laugh and her lack of concern for life... for her life.
Shalandra continued to head in that direction when she saw Wilkens kneeling down. She smiled in hopes that Wilkens also suffered a stab or to but was dissapointed to see she was mearly crying.
" Sly you hid that from me... you hid my mothers death from me."
Phelan struggled to keep his sanity when he realized it was poison. Then He could hear voice comming from his side. Knowing that he couldn't hide both of the injured women there was no choice but to fight. They voices took form in a Gnome mage and Elven bard. Phelan unsheathed his swords to defend the women when the Elf moved past him an knelt down by darlena.
" What has happened to you Lady Darlena.." He picks her up and holds her head to his chest then turns to mmeet Phelans gaze.
" Hello there my name is Elindar son of the govenor of tethelin and you look like you could use some help here." He said bowing slightly.

"Why would you help us?...You are an elf...You just want to take me to face your executioner. " Phelan said.
Phelan sheathed his swords knowing that he could retrieve them in a moments notice.
" Please attend to these two and I will go without a fight. Harm either one of them and I will slay you both where you stand. " Phelan said while looking the elf in his eyes, searching them for truth in his words.

Elindar waited until the dark elf's swords were sheathed. He remained close to Darlena's side but suddenly noticed a second wounded Tier Dal close by. His curiosity was great but he knew there wasn't much time for questions at the moment.
"Squire!" he shouted to the gnome mage standing nearby. "Go attend to the other dark elf over there. Hurry!"
The gnome's eyes were wide with anxiety. She didn't like the sight of so much blood... she had avoided her clerical lessons because of her weak stomach. "Yes Sir!" she squeaked, stomping over to Kalysta.
Phelan watched suspiciously as Elindar closed his eyes, a blue glow forming around his hands as he sang a song of celebration. As the elf continued his beautiful songs, Phelan blinked in amazement as the patches of blood began to vanish from strips of clothing he had bound around Kalysta and Darlena. The women's breathing slowly became steadier.
Meanwhile, the gnome dabbed at the sweat on Kalysta's forehead. "Sir," she murmured nervously. "I think this one has poison in her."
Elindar lingered one more moment at Darlena's side, unwilling to leave. His hand brushed a lock of her red hair from her face. Then he moved swiftly to the robed Tier Dal. He soon confirmed the gnome's suspicions.
"You are right, Nobel." He stood and looked at Phelan. "The Lady Darlena will be fine, but this one needs more help than I can provide."
"We are not far from my home," the gnome mage piped in. "I know some folk who..."
Phelan silenced her with a glare, still not trusting these two.
"Our kind are not welcome amongst your people, gnome," he snarled. He turned his anger upon Elindar. "Why take the time to heal them if you just mean to send us to our deaths?"
The handsome bard began to speak, then stopped suddenly. Darlena was waking up...

Darlena slowly sat up her eys blurry still and a nagging headache. She immediately noticed that her armor was gone and replaced with some tattered clothing. She then noticed Phelan and what looked like Elindar.
" El...in..dar? how did you get here?" She then noticed shalandra and wilkens wasn't around and Kalysta was injured.
" Oh no I didn't hurt anyone did I? " She attempted to get to her feet but was still a bit weak from all the powder. " Oh please tell me that isn't my doing."
