As Phelan followed Nikkii down the corridoors Shalandra walked up beside him and didn't even acknowledge him as being there. Phelan wanted to hurt her so badly and yet knew if he did so that might alter the deal. After what seemed like hours they see Naldany sitting on what appears to be a large trunk and upset. Nikkii put her hand on Phelan's shoulder and pushed him toward her. Naldany saw Phelan and rushed up and kissed him.
" Oh you did come back to me my love.. Thank you for finding him aunt Nikkii."
" I must be on my way back to Hodstock tell my father that I will visit after my bussiness with the hunters has conclueded." Nikkii and Shalandra turn and leave out. " Shalandra go to Neriak and watch him."
" Yes m'lady "
Naldany takes Phelan by the hand and leads him back to the trunk.
" Its really heavy could you carry it for me."
Phelan walked over and picked it up but to his surprise is wasn't so heavy but sounded like it was full of bottles.
" Am I to carry this all the way to Neriak then?"
Naldnay laughes a bit then puts her hand on his shoulder and mutters a chant. A blue light surrounds them then they appear in deep inside Neriak at the church of Innoruuk.
" Welcome home the O'seth lodge is downstairs.. please follow me."
Phelan followed her into the church he noticed the guards on the doors where heavily armored... more so the the average Neraik guard. Naldany stops and speaks with two other teir'dal wizardresses who look back at Phelan and give him an evil smile as he passes. Finally a large teir'dal man come up to Naldany.
" Here is the items the denouncer required from Klick 'Anon as he requested."
He looked over to Phelan and took the trunk from him with a mean look.
" Is grandfather awake I would like to speak with him."
" Yes he is but don't spend too much time in there he needs his rest." he said in a dark tone.
" Phelan , my love please have a look around then find me in my chambers ok."

Phelan smiled when she spoke. At least she spoke kindly to him. She moved down the coridoor and disappeared around a corner. Phelan stared in awe as he moved down the ornately decorated hallway.
He looked for her bed chamber so that he wouldnt' have to talk to anyone. All the people he passed gave him that same wicked smile. It was a bit unerving to say the least.
Phelan finally found her room he entered it and looked around at all of the plush comforts. Her bed was huge. Phelan still wasn't used to sleeping in a bed, but this one looked very comfortable. He layed down on the bed and fell alseep in his exhaustion.

A few hours later Naldany came into her room and saw Phelan laying on her bed. She sat beside him and gently woke him. He jumped awake when he saw Naldany instead of Kalysta.
" Well are you enjoying yourself?"

Not wanting to upset her. She seemed in such a good mood. It wasn't her fault that her Aunt put him in this situation, after all. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
" I am sorry, I didnt' mean to fall asleep on your bed. " He said to her.
" Your home is very beautiful... but it is nothing when put next to you. " A bit of niceness wouldnt hurt he thought to himself. He may have to spend the rest of his life with her.

"You are a charmer aren't you. Please clean yourself the family wishes you to join us at dinner."
Naldany puts some rich looking attire on the bed and smiled to him.

Phelan began undressing. He neatly folded up his clothes as he removed them. He rubbed his hands over the scar in his shoulder from the arrow wound. He grimaced at the memory.
Phelan reached down and grabbed the pants from the bed, silk? he thought. At least it is black. He slowly slid them on and happen to glance up to see Naldany eyeing him, biting her lip. Phelan blushes a bit, he wasn't used to this kind of attention. He quickly slides on the shirt and buttons it up. He reached for his sword belt and began placing it around his waist.
" well? will I do you justice? " Phelan said a bit sarcasically, still not all together reconciled with this.

" Leave your weapons it is forbidden to show hostility at the table .. besides Grandfather wants to see you."
Naldany takes her robe off and starts to put on one that was more appropriate for a gathering. She looked back and notice Phelan was watching her and blushed when he realised he was seen.
" Please come with me .. you will sit beside me at this feast."

" I am glad that I get to sit next to you, I have to say I am nervous. Who is your Grandfather? " Phelan said arching an eyebrow.
Phelan set his sword belt down reluctancly on a trunk in the corner. He shivered remembering the knife in his back last time, the arrow the time before that. By the time he walked back across the room Naldany was dressed and waiting.

" Grand denoucer Erilderanu.. He will Marry us in the morning."
They go down the long corridor and enter a great dining hall. Phelan noticed that the men sat on one side of table and the women on the other.Two places was reserved for them as they took there seats. Other Teir'dal assumed to be from lower houses serve the food of Teir'dal delicacies.Phelan noticed the men looking at him with malice while the women he could hear whispering and giggling.

Phelan glowered back at the men. He didnt' enjoy being the walking joke at the table. He raised his chin as he sat, he red eyes narrowed and glowing red with anger.
Who was he kidding he would never fit in, in Neriak. He wouldnt' become a slave. He refused to be a caged animal. He suddenly wished that he had his swords, he levelled his gaze upon Naldany, she knew how he would react to this. Why though, he thought as scowled.

A note was passed to Phelan from one of the women next to him. Phelan looked as Naldany talked with the other beside her. Then noticed one of the men motioning for him to open the note. Phelan opened the letter.
:: Count your blessing that the Denouncer's granddaughter has you for a pet. Tomorrow you belong to us, and we will make you into a proud O'seth.::
" Something wrong?" Naldany looked over to Phelan.

"Actually yes there is" Phelan stated his hands trembling.
" Who wrote this? " Phelan said holding up the note, forgetting his fear of offending anyone. " I dont' respond well to threats, if you want to do something to me, then lets get it over with. "
Phelan looked back to Naldany with a look that said sorry but you should have known. He then turned his attention back to the people at the table seeing if anyone would answer.

" I wrote it.. Thats right me.."
Everyone at the tables cast their heads down and a one eyed teir'dal stood up from near the end of the table. He looked well built and battle harden.
" Know this you little piece of troll dung I am captian of the guard here and you might be her pet but you will be on my posts."
He walks toward Phelan and Naldany stands between them looking him right in the eyes.

Phelan stood with his chin held high. His eyes fierce red slits. A snarl escaped him in his anger.
" Like I said I don't deal with threats well, if you are going to do something, LETS DO IT " Phelan hissed through clenched teeth.
"If not then maybe we should sit and enjoy dinner. "
He wouldn't show weakness even if it meant being beaten. He gave the larger Tier Dal an alternative to fighting, hopefully he would take it if not, then Phelan's gamble won't have panned out. Phelan knew it would hurt too, he was quite a bit large than him, Phelan wasn't ever really about strength, but speed and dexterity, tomorrow would be straight from the Abyss either way when I have to report to him. He thought.

The Denoucer leaned over and said something to one of his attendants who prompty got up and went over to them. He placed his hand on phelan and ushered Naldany back into her seat. Then he whispered something into the captains ear. A frown came over his face and he uttered several cursing words as he went back to his seat.
" Phelan... that was brave of you but I can't be around you constantly.. After dinner I will show you around. some."
