Nikkii ran up behind Phelan and pulled him back out side.
" I was wrong about you Phelan. Maybe I'll let you go about this without me ...... I am and guess will remain alone as I have been, They no longer trust me and you are able to reject me so I guess I have out served my purpose. Don't tell them about that kiss please."
Nikkii turned him back towards the door and nudged him in as she simply looked on.

Phelan paused at her words, she sounded sincery he thought. He smiled and he turned back toward her.
"So there is someone who can be nice inside of you. There is no reason why we must do this by ourselves, I have no problem working with you as long as you remember this is how you treat me and my sister and Naldany for that matter. "
Phelan said resting a hand on her shoulder.

" I am still not sure what you mean by that ... There is a pride to be a teir' dal woman and you are seriously making it hard to maintain it here. I need a drink but keep in mind that the longer we take the worst things are going to get."
Nikkii went inside and kissed him on the cheek.

Phelan chuckled as she walked in before him. He saw Kalysta sitting at a table staring at the bottom of an empty cup. His heart leaped and he took a deep breath. Phelan walked over to the table.
"Mind if I sit here? " Phelan asked. Kalysta didn't even acknowledge him, she just continued staring into her cup. Phelan sat down.
"Find what you are looking for in there? " Phelan said with a tone of sadness in his voice.
"No what I am looking for is sitting across the table form me..." She said quietly.
"Look Kal, I don't know what to say.... I love you, you know that..." Phelan said.
" Then lets go away from here, just me and you. We can forget everyone else just the two of us. " She said finally looking at him.
" I ... I want to, but I can't, Naldany is in danger. I can't just leave her now... I need some time....Just give me sometime to think....please... " Phelan said letting his eyes drop down to the table unable to take her beautiful eyes looking into his.
"....just go...." Kal said finally, looking back to the bottom of the glass.
Phelan got up from the table, his heart ached. He hated this, why couldnt' things just be simple. He hadn't planned on her coming after him, he hadn't planned on being remotely happy in Neriak, which in someways he wasn't. He was at the door and leaving before he knew it.

Nikkii sat there and watched the conversation that happened between Phel and Kal. Nikkii started to feel as though she messed up alot of people's lives in her lifetime. She ordered a drink for herself and one for Kalysta.. she took the ale over to Kalysta and sat beside her.
" You know ... He does care for you still but you'd have to win him back. He has proven to be of strong will .. but then so are you."
" What is there to do, I can't compete with Naldany she is carring his child and that is what keeps him with her. But just have patience."
Kalysta smiled and quickly drank the ale. Both the women got up and they went out the door.

Phelan sat on the river bank lost in thought. He knew that he should be going back to Adaun but he couldnt' stop thinking about Kalysta and Naldany and his life in general. Things were so much simpler before that fatefull day in the elven glade.
But then living in the glade he hadn't really lived either he realized. Phelan through a stone out into the water and watched it skip across the water. Phelan breathed in a deep ragged breath, where did I go wrong? He thought. He was startled from his thoughs by a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Adaun standing behind him.

Several preists and wizards entered Naldany's room. They line themselves around her bed and began to chant a dark spell. Suddenly a dark orbs formed and surrounded Naldany. She screamed out in pain. Her abdomin began to swell as the child grew.
" Now within days the pregancy will go its full term despite the pain the mother bares."

" If your business is concluded we should be going, the denouncer isn't going to wait on us. " She said quietly. He nodded in reply and stood up. She followed him as he led the way back toward the tavern.

" We must be moving on now Phelan.. As I said time grows short and our chances get worst."
Nikkii and Kalysta walk past Phelan and Aduan.
" We need to get to seriak and prepare ourselves"

The contingent of teir' dal sent by the denouncer get closer to seriak as the hours pass. The one caster they lost did not hinder their mission. The young warrior was the most determined of the group he had a special reason for wanting Phelan's death.... for him it was revenge, for his wife , killed by Phelan. He pushed ahead of the rest of them. They had made it over the duelers crest and was nearing collinridge cemetary.
The denouncer took his place at the council faining his old age as he had Darlena help him to his chair. After he was settled in she stood there with a blank look on her face. Most of the other politicans had taken their places as well.
" My child lets see if I can find you a proper suitor amonst the ones that might come before us tonight. Do not be troubled by these proceedings.... they are beneath us." He said leaning back towards Darlena.

Phelan shook his head and fell in step behind Nikkii and Kalysta.
" You are coming with us? " Phelan asks Kalysta with suprise in his voice. Phelan knew that she would try to kill Naldany, he couldnt' let that happen. This is going to be an interesting trip, he thought to himself. He tightened his sword belt and tugged his bracers tight, silently praying that things woudl work out.

Kalysta didn't even acknowledge Phelan's comment. Nikkii placed her hand on Kalysta's shoulder as they walked along. After a sereral hours they was back within the Seraik area. Nikkii allowed Kalysta and Adaun to pass them up so she could talk with Phelan.
" Phelan she comming with us because she still cares for you still ... You shouldn't be so surprised after all. I do have yet another question for you. Why did you not take her as your own before we crossed pathes in Freeport? Do you think that she wo..."
Just then Nikkii had stopped short in her question and her eyes was fixed ahead. Kalysta and Aduan also stopped when she saw a large group of teir'dal lined up in front of them, all baring the O'seth family crest.
" PHELAN I HAVE ORDERS FROM THE DENOUNCER HIMSELF TO EXECUTE YOU..... I ACCEPT THAT ORDER BECAUSE IT WILL HELP ME GET REVENGE ON YOU FOR KILLING MY WIFE...... AND I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE BEEN FRIENDS." The enraged gaurd yelled with tears flowing from his eyes. A wizard stepped infront of him.
" Lady Nikkii you are also to be executed .... you have been possesed and are no longer able to control youself and seen as unfit to continue as house maytron."
" If figured as much would happen.... well now I see how far he is willing to go now. "
The wizard stepped back beside the other wiazrddress and they started chanting. The guardsmen drew their swords and started their advance. Kalysta summoned her pet and Aduan drew her sword.
" MY WIFE SHALL BE AVENGED THIS NIGHT!!!!"

Phelan drew his swords and rushed forward to meet the advance. He wouldn't strike them for death blows he would draw as many as he could into Adaun's path leaving them wounded for her. The man that had shouted at Phelan and accused him of killing his wife was no other than the man he had guard duty with his first day as guard of the O'seth guard.
Phelan's mind shut off and his reflexes took over. He threw out a series of fierce horizontal slashes with a delibrate timing, just as the man got the groove down Phelan altered his timing. The man was caught off guard and was unable to break from the previous timing pattern, a wicked red line began to form across his midsection. He was just registering the pain as a stinging slap from a flat blade hit his cheek.
Phelan was already moving by the man before he had time to react. Phelan's eyes shone an icy blue as he quickly closed the distance to his next foe. Draw two more after me and then fall back while Adaun rushes in crushing them like a wave, he thought as he advanced.

Nikkii was taken back by Phelan's bravery, but she was glad that she had him to call nephew.
" Kalysta, we must keep the spell casters from doing their part.... send your pet to hold their arms. I will keep Phelan and Adaun heathly."
Right after Nikkii finished she was his with a bolt of ice sending her to the ground. Kalysta's pet ran up and grabed the male wizard but the female kept focused on Nikkii. She sent another attack at Nikkii keeping her down as she healed herself.
" My lady you are our real threat .... so I must make you use up your power."
The first guard looked back as Phelan ran past him tears filled his eyes as he failed his wife and their children. The remaining gaurds surrounded Phelan hoping to overwhelm him.

Phelan put absolute faith in Adaun that she would take care of those behind him as he advanced forward. He stalled his forward momentum to occupy as many as he could. They surrounded him and started to press in.
Phelan felt the bites of their blades here and again, but he knew they were nothing serious, he expected a few scars from so many enemies. His arms moved with blinding speed in graceful arcs and fierce slashes, blood and sweat dripped from him as he pressed those in front of him forward. He waited to make his move, he would feel Adaun's movements and then make his.
