Phelan was half asleep already when Naldany was closing the door. He didnt' think she should be wandering around by herself, but he was too groggy to do anything about it. He quickly drifted off into a deep sleep.

" You are a street urchin my dear. But I like you... your skin... hmmmmm. He placed his hand on her then took it off. You are of blood relation to my granddaughters husband. And My daughter wants you a my new captain of the guard. He passed infront of a mirror and Adaun didn't see a reflection in it but held her tounge.
" Go now I will make my decision in the morning make yourself comfortable till then."

Adaun bowed. She was a bit nervous, she knew that there was something wrong here, but it wasnt' her place to say anything. Adaun departed quickly but causually too. She headed to find Nikki.
I really look like a street urchin? She thought. She glanced down at her clothing. Of course I do she thought, I am still wearing the ragged garments that the goblins gave her. Brown boots, brown pants and a ragged white shirt, with a fur to pull over her. She groaned, she wished she could have changed and gotten her old armor back. Oh well she thought the past is the past.

" Hey look its that girl from the alley.... " The voice came from one of the two guards that was standing by the churches main hall. She could see smiles on their faces and those faces looked very familair.
Nikkii went to her chambers and took off the bloodied robe and threw it to the floor. She did much the same with her armor she was wearing. After that she cleaned herself and put on a red evening dress and went back out to find Aduan.

Adaun ignored the comments. She would deal with them soon enough when she was captain of the guard. She didn't know anyone here except Nikki and Phelan and there was no way in the Abyss that she was talking to him.
Adaun went to Nikki's chambers, she should be there changing Adaun hoped. She walked past more of the men and the comments, soon enough she thought.

Nikkii had started to step out of her chamber when she nearly bumped into Adaun. Nikkii looked her over then brought her inside.
" You need to look a bit more like someone of dignaty... put this on."
Nikkii tossed her a dress almost like hers.
" I will get you your own room for the night, but in the morning you will meet most of the house and your brother will be there as well."

Adaun smiled as she looked at the dress. They would all be suprised at how well she would look. Adaun like to dress up but in her line of work looking beautiful wasn't a normal thing.
"any chance I could get a bath first? " Adaun asked meekly

" Very well .... I will be outside when you finish. This is the way we carry ourselves here... so get use to it."
Nikkii left the room allowing Aduan her privacy and waited outside and waited for her.

Naldany walked through the churches corridors. The guards was whispering about something amongst themselves. They went silent when she got closer. She knew they wasn't talking about her but it had to do with something.... recent. Naldany kept on walking when suddenly she ran into the three wizardresses from earlier that day.... they saw she was quiet alone and they moved in to corner her.
" Alright Naldany time to answer some questions."

Adaun quickly cleaned herself not one to take her time relaxing. She got out and dried herself quickly, it had been so long since she had been clean. She felt so refreshed. She found a brush laying on a desk, she grabbed the brush and went to the bed and put on the dress that Nikkii had given her.
Adaun brushed her hair out and styled it, her golden hair looking rather luxarious. Once she had cleaned up her mess and was satisfied that she was ready. She stepped out of the room, looking like a Lady of a house, not like Adaun the warrior. She held her head high as she turned to Nikkii.
"Thank you. " Adaun said.

Phelan awoke sometime later. He had no idea how long he had been sleeping but from the way he felt he figured that it had been awhile. Naldany still wasn't back. He woke to find that the bath had been refilled and heated though it was starting to get cool.
Phelan made his way to the bath and he layed there enjoying it as he washed. He was growing concerned that Naldany still wasnt back by the time he was getting dressed. He put on the the black silk shirt and the black leather pants that had been set out for him. He tied back his freshly brushed snow white hair with a black strip of silk. Phelan laced his boots, belted on his swords and he laced on some ornate leather bracers he found laying on the night stand.
Phelan exited the room and went in search of Naldany.

" As you wish. "
Adaun said as she fell in step behind Nikkii. She hoped that Nikkii was right, she would be glad to finally have a house again, not be a rouge on the outside fringes of society. She was respected among those who knew her, but only because of her effectiveness not of who she was. She didnt' think anyone had ever really bothered to ask about her. She knew that Nikkii had at least asked about Phelan and why she hated him, Naldany had confronted her as well and even Phelan, the bastard, he had talked with her too. Maybe this was her place in Neriak, maybe through another family she could finally be part of one.

" Ok ... I'm getting sick of the treatment you get because of your the granddaughter of the denouncer... we're family but because we wasn't born to the eldest child we are subservant to you." The closest wizardress said pinning her to a corner. The other to surrounded her on both sides. One took out a dagger and started waving it in Naldany's face. Naldany's owl started going crazy and flew out of her room a past Phelan in a frantic flurry.
" You had better go about your business girls before someone gets hurt." Naldany said acting as tough as she could.
" Shut up .... Now you married some lower house garbage and bring another one in tonight.... and on top of that there is a rumor that you are carring a child now."
She scrapes the dagger by Naldany's head sending a few sparks by her head.
" My children will be subservant to that thing within you and I can't stand the thought anylonger.'' With that she slashed Naldany across the arm, Her owl cried in pain then blood dripped from it and hit Phelan on the face.
" I see it this way If you die here we will make it look like you was attacked by a mugger and we showed up just intime to kill him after he killed you."
Naldany slid down covering her arm and saw a dead body behind them.

When the blood hit Phelan he drew his swords and rushed forward in a blur. The same feeling that prompted his destruction of the halflings now over took him. All that mattered was Naldany and nothing would stop him. He rounded a corner to see three of the priestesses pinning Naldany to the wall.
Phelan charged forward with a loud growl.
