The darkness began closing in around Phelan, he pursued that dim light with a fierce determination. The hands grasped and groped, but still he was not held back. The light grew smaller and Phelan began to run toward it and then, it happened. One hand out of the dozens in the sea clung to him and drug him into the darkness. As he passed through the sea of faces the owner of the hand came face to face with Phelan. He gasped in horror as he stared back at himself, grinning that wicked grin.
Phelan gasped loudly and spasmed and shuddered and then went dead still. His lungs seemed to not drew breath and his skin paled. His skin became cold and clamy almost instantly. The horses snorted and stammped and danced around nervously as their riders tried to calm them.

" No ..." Naldany ran over to Phelan and started checking him.
" Aunt do something.... he's not breathing."
Nikkii dismounted the horse and looked at him.
" I'm sorry child I cannot do anything his problem is of his own will."
Naldany filled with rage to what she said then saw Aduan smilling. That was all she could take as she hit Adaun with an ice spell that knocked her to the ground and froze her arms to her sides." If he dies you will be right behind him... you heartless wench." She kissed him and kept on.
" We still need you Phelan."
That comment got Nikkii's attention as she thought ...... we?

" Naldany what did you mean by we? ...... Is this what you been hiding from me?"
Adaun tried freeing herself but the ice around her was too thick to simply break. Nikkii looked at Naldany for a responce to her question, but she was too engulfed in worry for Phelan.
" I asked you a question girl do not make me repeat myself." Nikkii grabed her arm to turn her toward her, Naldany's eyes turned black and a bolt of lighting struck Nikkii's hand. After that she turned back to Phelan and kissed him again.
" I am carrying his son my dear aunt."

Phelan twisted and pulled and tried to break free of his own grasp. The other Phelans smiled turned into rage as Phelan slipped free. He grasped for Phelan but he was already climbing the mass of ppl who were grasping at him. When he finally made it back to solid ground he lay ran for the faint light. He heard a Booming voice echo around him and the masses around him drew back. AWAKE
Phelan gasped he sat bolt upright. Phelan looked around trying to understand what just happened.

Your Alive......” Naldany hugged him as hard as she could.”My love don’t do that anymore.”<br> Nikkii almost let a smile break though but managed to recover before anyone noticed. She looked down at Aduan still bounded by the ice that Naldany casted on her.
“ If you can pry yourself from him why don’t you free her from that.” Nikkii stated pointing to Aduan. Naldany nodded to her then chanted a small fire spell that melted the ice. She looked very angry at her, she didn’t care Phelan was back.
“ Lets go Seriak is just on the other side of the lake.”<br> The enchantress and widzardress departed towards the outpost followed by Nikkii. Naldany gets back on her horse with Phelan behind her and starts off behind them.

Nikkii and the other two make it to the walls of Seriak first. The guards look at her and nod as she passes them on the way to the coachman’s stables.
“ It’s been along time Lady...” the coachmaster commented.
“ I do not miss this place .... that bastard came from here.”<br> Naldany and Phelan caught up up to Nikkii at the coach, she had already had a new horse ready for them when they had arrived.

Phelan still didnt' understand what had happened he just knew that he was with Naldany and he held on to her like there was no tomorrow. Phelan looked at Nikkii and wondered if she even cared what had happened to him.
One glance back to Adaun told him that she was trying to will him to die. Naldany didn't say anything during the whole trip to Seriak, Phelan just clung to her and quivered.
Phelan didn't know what to say to Naldany. He thought for sure she would say something about him killing the halflings after stopping her from doing the same to the dwarves. He just held on to her hand as they moved to get on their next horse.

" Phelan what happened to you... surely it wasn't the death of halflings... was it? I hope not they are just like the dwarfs. They would have killed me if they have a clean opportunity and not have given me a chance."
Nikkii was listening to them as Naldany got on the next horse. She went to Phelan and pulled him out of hearing distance from Naldany.
" Would you have let them kill you then turn to her and kill her and your unborn child? Are you THAT passive and dal like?........ Hopefully the child will be a more combative than its father."

Anger flashed in Phelans eyes and put his face close to Nikkii's.
" You want to see how combative thier father can be, just keep talking. I will live my life as I see fit and if you continue in insulting me, me and you will have problems. " He said in a cool murderous tone.

" We will huh... there is still our matter from that barbarien village to settle.... who knows maybe the child will be a heartless killer ... after all I will see to some of its upbringing myself."
Nikkii walks back toward Naldnay now with Aduan arrived. Nikkii smiled back to Phelan.
" Your wife would have killed you dear sister if you did not return from the brink of death... Maybe you haven't quiet influenced her dark nature she has yet to fully explore."

"I am sure she had good cause. " Phelan said as he walked back to Naldany and climbed on behind her.
" I love you. " He whispered in her ear.

Adaun glared at Phelan and Naldany. Her heart ached to hear the callous tone that Phelan had replied in. She wanted to cry out, I am your sister, dont' you care? But she didnt, she just pushed it down, somewhere into the recesses of her soul and from the pain came anger. She was going to take the Captain of the guard position she had been offered, just so she coudl be that much closer to Phelan.

Now they set out for the last leg of there trip, back to Neriak. Nikkii took the lead as she had done before. Naldany put one hand on Phelan's and held it. They followed the river till they could see the guard outposts and the fireballs falling from the sky.
" Finally we are in our homeland child.. soon you will be safely back in the church where you belong."
Naldany didn't look to happy with what Nikkii had said as she hung her head. A few guards was walking back toward the ramp leading up into the city carring sacks on their backs and one was dragging a halfling behind him. Nikkii dismounted her horse at the coach then stopped the guard.
" Why so many Halflings today was their a raid into the town?"
" Yes lady... the denouncer wished to have more for a sacrifice he had planned." The guard said as he continues into Neriak.

Phelan couldn't help but tighten his grip at the sight of the halflings being dragged away. He then hung his head in shame remembering his actions. He noticed his wife hung her head at Nikkii's words.
"Why do we go to Neriak, if you do not wish to do so? " Phelan whispered in her ear again, concern plain on his face.

" Its my duty to stay here unless another would take my place.... but she wouldn't come back here..." Naldany whispered back to him as she got down. She slowly followed Nikkii up the ramp and pasted the guards. Some of her follow wizardresses was outside practicing their spells and looked at Phelan and again started whispering amongst themselves, this time the approached him with evil smiles on their faces.
" Oh you are a naughty man aren't you?" one of them asked.
" I bet he was going to sell her to one of our enemies.." Another said.
" Explain yourself man" The final one said as she rooted him in place and the three surrounded him. Adaun looked over at what was happening.
