Phelan's face sprang into a smile. She was really concerned.
" If you really want to know, I can postulate on what I know....." seeing her looking at him intently he continued. "Can't you see that Naldany is terrified of you? Have you ever thought about how your attitude and actions have affected others? I can see there is a softer side of you, that is the side I like and the side I personally enjoy talking to. If Naldany is keeping something from you my assumption would be is that she fears you too much to tell you.
But that is just how I see things, I have been told I have a knack for such things. Just remember you wanted me here, now you have brought my sister into this too, I hope you know what you are doing. Now if you dont' mind I am going to go with my wife. " Phelan smiled one last time, a sincere caring smile, and left leaving Nikkii sitting in a chair alone.

Phelan's word hurt worst than any wound that an adversary inflicted appon her. Why would see be terrified of me? All I ever did was keep her best interests at heart.... but she seems to love that boy, he wasn't suppose to stick around much longer. She took a look at her robe that was stained still with the blood of Sarah and thought how she acted in her last moments she didn't try to killl any of the villagers. Even her daughter didn't, at least not that she knew of.... and all they want to do is live like all of us. A tear fell from her eyes and dropped on her hand, embarrassed she quickly went into her room so she wouldn't be seen by others. The night passed without any further trouble and the hour of departure neared.

Phelan walked up the stairs, he hadn't realized how tired he was. He wondered if the little bit of bluriness left in his eyes wasn't from fatigue. He still could not belive that Nikkii had actually listened to him. He hoped that he hadnt' hurt her to bad, but someone had to tell her, he knew that it wouldn't be Naldany.
He opened the door to their room and walked in. He felt his shoulders slumping from his level of fatigue. He had his wife back though and he was going to be a father. That thought still brought that goofy smile back to his face.

Morning came and Naldany awoke with Phelan holding her. She carefully moved his arm and got dressed. There was a knock at the door and when she answered it was the enchantress standing there.
" Its time to get moving get you "husband" up and get going."
Naldnay nodded and kissed Phelan then gently shook him. He woke up groggy and a bit tired looking. She smiled and went outside where everyone looked like they was ready to set off.

Lady Nikkii had come to her door before anyone elses, she looked as if though she hadn't gotten any rest. Adaun had been ready for at least an hour and was sitting thinking about her life when the knock had come. Nikkii hadn't said a word to her when she opened the door, she just merely nodded and moved on.
Adaun gathered her stuff, which was really just her sword, and she headed out to entrance where everyone was meeting. She had almost talked to the girl. And why not? Someone cared, finally, but she didnt' really care, she just wants her husband out of harms way. Well good luck with that, I am still going to kill him. She thought. You still could have talked about it with her, no no no, why? So she could reveal to me some wisdom through her spoiled life? To the Abyss with that. Adaun thought.

Phelan awoke to the face of his wife smiling at him. It was the best feeling in the world. He felt as if he had only slept a few minutes though. He realized he could see clearly and watched Naldany leave the room with a smile. He quickly dressed himself and grabbed his sword belt and snapped it on. He followed after Naldany shortly joining everyone outside, including his sister.
He tried smiling at his sister again. She scowled and turned the other way. He sighed, he didnt' understand, he just wanted her to be his little sister again, not the cold blooded killer she was now.
He wandered over to Naldany and unconciously placed himself between her and Nikkii. He smiled at his wife and kissed her again. He stood there with her waiting for everyone to be ready to depart.

" Let's not waist another minute here." Nikkii galloped her horse away first Naldany got on the horse with Phelan and held on to him tightlyto him. She looked over to Adaun who gladered at her menacingly, she simply smiled back at her and put her head on Phelans back. She must not have liked it because she fell back a bit. Her owl flew a bit behind Aduan, the poor thing was trying to keep up. They came to a very small wall and lots of goblins could be seen all over.
" Phelan don't let them near me." Naldany said
" These things are far to weak to challenge us child they would need alot more than what we see." Nikkii scoffed

Phelan could feel Naldany squeeze him with her thighs and her arms. Phelan looked around, he didnt' think these would be a huge threat.
" Don't worry love, they won't touch us. " Phelan said over his shoulder.

Fear rushed through Adaun and then shame overwhelmed that. She had been beaten and humiliated as the goblins prisoner. She wanted nothing more to crush every last one of them. She couldnt' reach for her sword though, the fear that gripped her held her in place and chilled her heart to the core. Her horse continued on even though she was no longer in control of the animal.

Nikkii noticed Adaun acting strangly at the site of the small goblins and dropped back beside her.
" What is wrong with you if any of these tiny beast tried anything sure you could slay them with ease.''
She rode up to one and struck it with her mace, smashing its face in. The other ones noticed this but hesitated to act. After they passed they rushed up and drug the corpse away.
" Be on your guard we are ging to have to go past the halfling stronghold Rivervale. Take caution those pesky little creatures can be a handfull."

Adaun smiled and struck a few goblins down as she rode by, seeing no retaliation forth coming, she sat up straighter regain her confidence again. She looked to Nikkii and gave a smile of thanks to her.

" How bad..?"
They could see the entrance of the halfling city. Naldany casted and invisibilty spell over her and Phelan. The other casters concealed the remaining of the group. This was Naldany's first time seeing one of them this close. Nikkii elected not to stay concealed though. She rode right past them and smirked at the two tiny gaurds. She really spooked one of them because he dropped his weapons and ran inside the other drew his sword and took a big gulp. Nikkii petted him on the head and continued past. A horn could be herd as they was nearly out of view. Then about fifthteen guards came running out of the tunnle and right behind them.
" Oh no ... not now..." Naldany whined.
" So the little people want to play? Well we shall have fun make ready."

Adaun heard the horns in the distance and looked to Nikkii who was smiling. Adaun let her wicked grin creap to her face. She with drew her sword and waited to take Nikkii's lead. Time to release some frustration she thought looking at the small furry creatures.

Phelan sighed. He knew what he would have to do, but his wife was with him. He squeezed Naldany's hand.
" Make me appear and stay hidden and run if things go bad, my love. " He whispered to Naldany.
Phelan moved his mount in front of Adaun and Nikkii and nodded to Naldany. Phelan appeared in front of them. Looking into Nikkii's eyes.
" Do you so quickly forget our conversation? Why can't we just leave here with out confrontation? They did nothing to us, let them be and they will let us be..... Please. " Phelan said to Nikkii hoping that he didnt' get cut down from behind.
