As they walk away the denouncer voice enters Phelan's head.
:: Where are you going my boy...... You killed my eldest child and you told my granddaughter anyway. I have sent you dear sister after you and will send Darlena after Kalysta. If you wish to stop her I'd find her quickly but also avoid my granddaughter she will take Naldany and bring you back to Neriak. I'll give you a chance to decide but I will not permit you to leave the Neriak area.::
" Phelan, why are you slowing down? We are nearly to seriak." Naldany asked as she pulled at his hand.

Phelan's anger grew, he could feel that hate in him trying to take over. Naldany dragged him as he tried to control himself.
" He knows we are trying to leave. No matter where we go he will find us.... it seems so hopeless. If we go forward we will meet his minions, if we go back to Neriak you will be captured and I will be killed. My love, I dont' know what to do, but I will not die without a fight. " Phelan said as the anger rose in him again and he trembled.

" We should meet them head on ... I should have my magic back soon enough. So lets keep going.. it might be his ploy to slow us down."
Hours passed as the Denouncer continued his plans. A twisted smile went on his face a his stroked Darlena's red hair. Nikkii continued to slumber at his side still under his power. He turned again to his wizard.
" It would appear as Phelan chose to continue his escape with my granddaughter. And this grandchild's thoughts dwell on an elf it would seem. This is most disturbing. I can't have her associated with an elf..... or maybe..... quickly bring me an enchanter."
He quickly went out and moments laters an enchantress stepped in.
" Good I want you to make make daughter look like a Gnome.... then I want you to send her to that human city of Qeynos. My Granddaughter has a hunt to carry out."

Phelan and Naldany continued on, Phelan pressing at almost a frantic rate. He knew that time was something they didnt' have a lot of. He had to get Naldany to a safe place before the denoucers minions caught up with them. He moved with grace darting ahead of Naldany and then checking the rear of their path, always circling around Naldany, Naldany's saftey was the most important thing.

Adaun pressed forward, at an alarming rate. Soon the others fell behind her and out of site, vengance pushed her forward at an unatural rate. Rational thoughts fled her mind as she made her path straight for them. I will have his blood on my sword soon enough and maybe, I will 'accidently' hit the girl too, just so Phelan's son nevers comes to be. She thought with a smile.

" Darlena.... awaken child you have a job to do.
Darlena opened her eyes and stood up quietly. She was given her sword and stood infront of the denouncer silently.
" My child you will find the teir'dal girl named Kaylsta. You are to bring her here. Kill any that would stop or interfere."
Darlena turned and left out the wizard teleported her to the furthest outpost. She looked to the ground and picked up Kalysta's trail.

" My feet are starting to hurt... I think this child is starting to become a bit of a burden, could you slow down some?"
Phelan scooped her up and tried not to slow his pace. They was within site of Seriak now and about ten minutes later was in the walls of the outpost. He set her gently down beside a guard post and went to the coachman. Kalysta came stumbling out of a tent that served ale and looked like she had a few too many. She saw Phelan and stumbled towards him. She went to hug him but missed and fell to her knees infront of him.

Great Phelan thought, the denoucer is hunting her too and she can't even stand. Phelan scooped up Kalysta and put her on her feet, he led her by the arm back to Naldany. He saw her glare and she reached for her sword, Phelan reached out and stayed her hand.
"Look, you dont' have to like her, but know that she means a lot to me and that your grandfather also seeks her out, we must be going. It is just up the river a little farther, I will carry you to the coach and then we will have to walk from there, I will also carry you from there. I fear pursuit isnt' that far behind us. " Phelan said as he lifted Naldany into his arms and made Kalysta hold his shoulder as they walked. we will never make in time at this pace. Phelan thought.

Darlena assumed her wolven form as she quickened her pace. Before long she was directly behind the guards Adaun had selected. Darlena pushed past them and was moving directly behind Adaun herself, She didn't acknowledge her as she strode past her and was nearing Seriak. Darlena resumed her Teir'dal form and drew her sword as she neared the fort.
Naldany saw this girl smiling comming to them but, Naldany didn't take her eyes off the drunken girl as they moved slowly to the coachman. Phelan signed the ledge and helped Naldany and Kalysta onto a horse. He took the reins of the animal and started leading it away from the outpost. Adaun catch up to Darlena and was the first to spot the fleeing teir'dal. Darlena then saw them and started after them in a sprint. Naldany turned back to see Adaun and Darlena pursuing them.
" We have company My love."

Phelan rode close to the teir dal that was walking up and quickly backed the horse away from her. He drew a sword and leveled it toward her.
" I wish no quarrel with you know, I know what I said before, but it was out of rashness. " Phelan said drawing a indignant boot to the back of his leg from Kalysta. "I understand you were working with Nikki, she is very powerful and I can not hold you responsible for following her instructions. but I am in an extremely important retreat at the moment and can't afford to fight you even if you wish too "

" Who is this girl and why are you holding your sword to her? Your sister is comming and my cousin is with her. Please take her up on her offer.
Darlena was comming dangerously closer as she had stopped her sprint and started walking closer as she came closer to the coachman.

Phelan was astounded he tossed her sword back to her. "if you are going to help you will need it. " Phelan groaned as he saw what Naldany had.
" Take them to the barbarian village, keep them from hurting each other and keep everyone away form them, even Nikkii. " Phelan said as he rolled off the horse with grace and drew his swords.
"GO!" he barked.
