Phelan raised a hand to silence all of them. He looked into Kal's eyes and saw her squirm a bit with a glance toward Darlena and Nikkii.
" I am looking for Naldany, I thought she may be out here, I saw her owl head this direction. " Phelan said, he looked to Nikkii and Darlena.

" You left her despite my instructions to keep a careful eye on her.... You are a true idiot. Nikkii drew her hand back to slap Phelan when Darlena grabbed hers.
" What will hitting him prove mother...... She could be close by and we are waisting time. I assume she isn't well travelled is she."
Nikkii looked at Darlena with rage and jerked her hand from her. But she knew she was right and Naldany had no bussiness in the forest.
" You girl ... why are you out here?"
" I just left Ner..." She stopped when she saw Darlena heading towards the cave.
" Now that I think about it some of the casters that was having a class went back toward Neriak."

" Darlena?!! What are you doing here? " Phelan said. Phelan turned to Nikkii and glared
"Nikkii, as far as I knew she was in class... I was sent out here by your ..... Father.... on an unrelated task.. Why are you always out to find something wrong with what I do?! If you truly hate me so much cut me down and feed me to your Father!! " Phelan slapped his hands to his mouth as soon as the words escaped his lips.

" Feed you to him? What is that suppose to mean? I knew you was stupid but now I see you might be a bit unstable. You can't even do a simple task I have you do and yet you think your worth his time? What has been going on here while I was away."
" Phelan I came here as part of an agreement to free you of your duties by asuming mine here. Darlena started to near the cave entrance and was almost within sight of Naldany when Kalysta ran up to her and spun her toards Neriak.
" Why don't you and Phelan check that way I'll go this way."
" Child your hiding something aren't you?" Nikkii's glare shifted from Phelan to Kalysta and she have the same look of murder on her face she had when they first met in Freeport.
" No... I am willing to assist Phelan find his....... wife."

Adaun left the city with necklaces in hand. She was semi dissapointed that she was doing the job of a servant. Delivering these necklaces to them so close to Neriak was an act of futility, but then again she didnt' want to upset the Denouncer. She headed for the river knowning that Nikkii and her daughter would be following it into Neriak.

" I didnt' need to be freed from any obligations, I chose to marry Naldany, yes it is true I came here first because of a deal, but I have recieved nothing but greif for it. Now you have become trapped here too...." Phelan said to Darlena.
" As for you..." He started in on Nikkii stalking up and pointing a finger in her face. " I warn you not to push me, I am capable of much more than you think...I really dont' want to have to show you just how much pain I can cause you...." he said quietly.
"Now Kalysta and I will search here, you two go home, I will find her. You only want to find her because of the child you care nothing for her... and Dar.. you should go while you still can, because I wont' be leaving. "

Nikkii smirked at Phelan's threat and ran her fingers through her hair as an attempt to irritate Phelan a bit further as she left her hair hit him in the face as she passed by him. Darlena went up to Phelan and put her hand on his shoulder
" I don't think it will be that easy this time and right now shes not our enemy. But Kalysta is behaving funny and I can smell someone in that cave but they arent moving. "
" DARLENA........ Let the puppet do his job. He has less than an hour to find Naldany or he will know how much pain I will cause him." Nikkii continued toward Neriak and she laughed at Phelan.

" I know Dar, it's Naldany, I am letting Kal go, I was supposed to bring her back and beat her publicly but I can't do it... Will you stand by Naldany when I get beat by your mother? cause I am sure I will be beaten publically more than once.... and beware of your Grandfather... he isnt' himself anymore." Phelan said.
He turned to Kal and took her by the shoulders. He waited till Nikkii was out of earshot to speak.
"Why didnt' you leave?!.... I gave you the chance before you were discovered and then you escaped only to take my wife?.... why?..... why risk all of this? for me? I am not worth, my love.... I love you too much to see anything happen to you, but you also have to realize I have an obligation to her...." Tears ran down his cheeks unimpeded and he hugged her.

" Is that it.... just an obligation...."
Naldany managed to make her way out of the cave. She was trembling from the cold of the cave and slightly dirty and hands bound still. She had her eyes fixed on Kalysta and Phelan.
" You are gonna let her go too aren't you. Even when she robbed me of my magic and held me with a dagger."

Phelan flushed and jerked away form Kalysta the second he heard Naldany's voice.
"...Yes, yes I am going to give her the chance to leave, without recourse, because, I would hope that you can see why she came... I would hope you were willing to go to these lengths as well... and no it isnt' just an obligation, I love you Naldany, but I also love you Kalysta, you two each own a piece of my heart. But I must remain here with my wife..." Phelan said hanging his head as he spoke to both the women.

" Would you free my hands and remove this charm that is draining me of my magic?"
Naldany approached the two and placed herself between them. Kalysta looked to Phelan as he started to untie her hands and knew Naldany might try something and stood behind Phelan. As soon as her hands was Freed she went for his sword. Phelan grabbed her before she could draw one out and held her steady.
" Let me go ... I am sick of the site of her and this is an outrage."
Naldany started crying in her frustration as Phelan continued to hold her. Kalysta took a few steps back and cloaked herself in shadows before leaving.
Nikkii and Darlena had reached the first outpost and Adaun heading towards them. Darlena took a good look at her and joined Nikkii beside her.
"The Denouncer wishes you to wear these necklaces as ladies of the house."
" They are beautiful mother." Darlena quickly put hers on and admired it. Nikkii thought a bit on it then allowed Aduan to place hers on her.
" There is one for Naldany as well."
" I'll take it you have duties to perform... We'll see you at dinner."
Adaun did as she was told and gave Nikkii the Necklace and went back to see to her posts. Nikkii took Darlena into Neriak and down to the church.

" Those tattered rags are not suiting to you. You should be embarrased to look as such."
" Well If I could dress better I would do so.."
" You still have your room full of clothing.... try there first."
" Its been so long since I been in Neriak .. "
Darlena and Nikkii entered the church. several of the prestestess took Nikkii's armor and weapons off her as she went in. Then they took the sword from Darlena.
"Follow me you room is next to mine go freshen up you'll meet everyone else later."
Darlena follow Nikkii till they got to thier rooms. Nikkii pointed at the door that was Darlena's, She went in and looked around before undressing and taking a bath. After she was done she put on a blue silk dress and fell asleep on her bed.

Phelan held her close cradling her head and stroking her hair. His heart broke as she cried with her head on his chest, he hated himself for hurting another person. I tried, I am just not good at this, he thought.
"I am sorry.... I will make it up to you, my love....I love you.." Phelan whispered to her as he stood there holding her in his arms.

" Take me home."

Adaun stalked from post to post, barking orders at the guards. The guards really didnt' need to be yelled at, but Adaun had some anger to release. It wasn't really anger it was more pain, but that translated into anger, she felt betrayed in a way. Lady Nikkii had given her a chance, she treated Adaun nicely, like how she remembered her mother treating her. Adaun kind of felt like Lady Nikkii had accepted her as an adopted daughter, but now that her real daughter was here there would be no need for Adaun.
Rather than be embarassed and tell someone or cry, she just pushed it down into that pit where she held all of her grief. The part of her that had tainted her sould to a grey color. It was a pit so dark light couldnt penetrate it. All of her feelings after her first year in Neriak went into that pit, she stopped feeling and just crammed it in there. That had worked fine until she met Phelan and ripped open that void and made her feel it all again. She loathed him, it was his fault.
