" Awaken child its is almost time for our morning gathering."

Naldany's owl reappeared and flew onto Phelan's shoulder. Naldany started to awaken slowly and sat up holding her head.
" Wh.... what happened.."

Adaun was up off the bed before the words had left Nikkii's lips. She opened the door and stepped out into the hall, in her shined armor, but still looking very much a lady as well.

The owl landing on his shoulder didnt' wake him up, but when Naldany spoke his eyes shot open and he was half way to the bed before he was really concious. Phelan knelt beside the bed.
" Are you ok my love? " Phelan asked. " I only saw the one wound upon you but you fell unconcious, I was worried about you. "

" It's not the first time that has happened... Is it morning yet... I better get changed, we have the morning gathering to attend."
Naldany went into her wardrobe and picked out a rather revealing robe and slipped into it. she brushed her hair and put on some make-up.
" Lets get going my love."

Phelan followed after his wife with bags under his eyes. He felt like when he first came back from death. His eyes were a bit bloodshot and his shoulders a bit hunched as he followed. The closer they got to the gathering the more Phelan gathered his composure and before long was looking like his usual self.
" You know love, that your Aunt is going to put me under Adaun's watch in the guard and she will try everything possible to get me killed. I dont' wish to defy your Aunt, but I dont' want to leave you with out a husband nor our child without a father. You two are my reason for living." Phelan said as he walked beside Naldany.

" Exellent let us be off then."
Nikkii headed to the family dining area. Most of the members was already there and and starting to take their seats. Nikkii pointed to a chair near the end of the table and made Aduan sit there. Nikkii sat at the head of the table,next to the denouncers seat.

" We'll how about you act as my body gaurd then... That seems a bit more fesable..."
They made it into the the dining area. Nikkii and Adaun was already there. They sat next to eachother across from Aduan. Naldany smiled to her.
" You look nice in that armor Adaun." Naldany thought of what Phelan had said, but couldn't understand why would they kill each other. Shortly after Erilderanu made his appearance. He was seat directly beside Nikkii.
" My family I feel the blessings of Innoruuk on our house this day." He raised his glass and the others in the room did the same. As the food was being eaten Nikkii noticed that he only drank from his glass.
" Father why aren't you eating... and you still didn't tell me why so many sacrifices.."
He cut his eyes at her and she did the same.
" I do not answer to my underlings Nikkii you do as you are told and you will not questioned me again."
" I don't like where this is going father And I wo.."
Just then He grabbed her by the throat and began choking her. He left her go after a seconds leaving her out of breath. Everyone looked on in shocked. Naldany started to get up but Phelan grabbed her arm.
" I must see if shes ok... please let me go." Naldany whisphered.
" Very well... father." Nikkii gasped out weakly.

Phelan couldn't belive how easily Nikkii had been over powered. He reminded himself to tread lightly with the denouncer. He didnt release Naldany he looked at her and shook his head to her as Nikkii spoke. " Please sit down and eat..." Phelan whispered to her

Adaun watched the events unfold and controlled her shock, so that it wouldn't show on her face. Nikkii didn't even stand a chance, Adaun was shocked to see that he didnt kill her. The anger in his eyes, the hate, took her by surprise, murder brooded behind them. She recognized the look and it frightened her to know that she wore that same look from time to time.

" He might have really hurt her... " Naldany looked up to where they was sitting Nikkii was eating again but she looked shamed and was trembling still. The denouncer looked toward Phelan.
" Phelan ... I see you have returned my granddaughter home. And She is with child of coarse...."
He looked at her with a wicked grin. Then his attention went to Adaun.
" You I accept as my guard captian and I want you to stay afterwards I need to speak with you and my daughter as well."

Phelan felt a shiver run up his spine as the denoucer looked at him. He squeezed Naldany's hand as the denouncer spoke to him. Phelan nodded to him fearfully.

" As you wish m'lord " Adaun replied. She was happy he chose her to be the captain, but not so thrilled at having to actually be in a room with just him and one other person.

After the food was gone and the family members left, the denouncer got up from his table and walked over to Phelan and Naldany. He placed his pale hand on her and turned her toward Phelan. Fear shot over her from his touch. Nikkii approached him from behind.
" You wanted to see us ?" Nikkii asked shamed
" Yes, I understand you have your memories returned to you... maybe this would explain you questioning me."
" Yes.. father.... my sons ... aren't here I see.... and my daughter is ..."
" A lycanthrope.... yes I know.. she is also in the elven lands, tethelin to be precise." he commented.
" And my sons?"
" Dead... along time since too, my child but I want the other Naldany here as well, I have plans for her... Adaun I require some of those Elfs for a cremony I have planned.... and will be in my chambers most of the day. Nikkii I want you to bring me those elfs and Aduan get familiar with your duties today."
He smiled at Phelan then left the room, and Nikkii fell to her knees learing of her childrens fate. Naldany went to comfort her but was waved off by Nikkii.
" Leave me alone ... all of you.I don't wish to speak to any of you right now so just go away. "

Phelan's heart went out to Nikkii, he knew the pain of losing family. He wanted to go speak to her, but he knew that she wouldn't hear it, not now and probably not ever. It broke his hear to see her in pain though. He waited for Naldany to come back and they left together and to his surprise Adaun walked next to him. He kept glancing at her but she never looked over at him. She merely walked near him. He smiled, maybe he though, just maybe he would be part of a family again, he knew that Naldany and the child would always be his family, but he meant part of a larger family.
