Phelan didn't want to leave her helpless and in the care of a stanger. He didnt' know if he could trust him or not, Phelan looked to Kalysta who looked at him and motioned for the door.
"I swear that if you harm her or my son, you will not live to see another day in Neriak and neither will your master." Phelan looked at Naldany and then gazed into the red eyes of the man and left the room, Kalysta following close behind.

Adaun wiped the blood from her mouth and worked her jaw. Broken, she thought to herself as she struggled back to her feet and She cleared her head and watched as Keyra attack wildly and then Nikkii began in again.
Adaun saw her sword laying a little ways away from her. She quickly ran over and scooped it up into her grip. She flexed her fingers as around the hilt and then rushed forward into the fray once again.
She chopped away with abandon not knowing exactly how to hurt this undead thing.

The silent master half ignored Phelan’s threat as he started to prepare the wards. They should keep everyone out till he returned.
“I am going to find help. I shall return,” he said to Naldany.
He placed the wards and went in search of a mid-wife for Naldany. He quickly tore off a piece of cloth from his tunic and held it to his wound on his chest. There had been a small tent just inside of the city’s gates where the wounded could come for help, if they needed it. He had known a healer there who had been a mid-wife before. As he approached the tent, the woman had not seen or heard him. She was suddenly picked and was being carried away from her tent.
“Do not panic. I am taking you to a pregnant woman who needs your help,” he told her. It was more of an order than a comment to calm her down.
As they neared the church, he felt the wards he had set buckling. Someone was trying to get in. He growled as marched up the steps. The church was in a state of chaos. The various guards had begun to choose sides and were fighting with one another. He lumbered down the hallway, still carrying the woman. He saw a couple of guards trying to enter Naldany’s room. He quickly dispatched them with his throwing daggers. He released the wards and entered the room and put the mid-wife next to the bed.
“Tend to her, do not worry of the battle that ensues,” he barked.
“Do you know who this is? If her grandfather finds out I helped-“<br>
“All that is about to change. Tend to her!” he interrupted her with a bellow.

Darlena started to wake up groggy from the mind control. She looked around the area and herd the sounds of battle. She forced herslef up and towards the sound, once she got to the door and had a look in she could see thing was getting worst for them. Nikkii had been badly beaten and Keyra was attacking the denounce in her feral wolf form. She had leadped onto his chest biting the flesh from him, as Adaun charged in again. Loveless helped Nikkii to her feet and she looked racked with pain. Darlena changed into her feral form and charged in to the fight. The denouncer pulled Keyra off him and hit her repeatedly in her arm till a snap was herd, then he tossed her limp body into the corner. Loveless's eyes widen as they watched her body hit against a wall and fall silently.
" Keyra..... my little hunter..." Loveless left Nikkii's side as he went to check Keyra. She layed there motionless and not breathing, he filled with rage and became a wolf as well and went in to aid Adaun and Darlena. Nikkii limped over to Keyra's body and brushed her hairout of her face. Adaun got more hit in on him but they barely registered pain with him Darlena used her harm touch on him as Loveless did so as well. Nikkii had regained much needed power back to continue healing. She started blasting the Denouncer again and again making a bit more progress now.

The mid-wife worked hard to ease Naldany's pain as she started to give birth to the child. The necklace snapped off as Naldany struggled.
" There now thats it child its almost out... just a little more."
Moments later the cries of a child rang out.The small boy had come out into norrath, after he was dried off his shinly black hair and yellow eyes looked at Naldany.
" He is handsome what will you call him..."
" Aramis..... after his mentor." Naldany said with a smile.

Phelan was all too aware of Kalysta's presence with him. Her smell was intoxicating, the sweet smell of decay was vaguely present amongst the smells of the spices and herbs she carried with her. Phelan's heart skipped, he shook his head and focused at the task at hand. He rushed forward through the throng of combat in the hallways, somehow Phelan and Kalysta arrived unscathed in front of the Denouncers chambers. Phelan rushed in just as Adaun was thrown across the chamber into a wall hanging and landed with a crunch and grating of metal.
Phelan drew his swords and darted in and out of the Denoucers reach, staying just out of his reach ever time he swung. Phelan scored a few hits that would have put a normal person in the grave. Spells went off all about Phelan as he tried to get a clean cut in at the Denouncers neck.

" This is absurd .... you are all fools. I have slain one of you, and there will be more to join her on the that plane. " Now the denouncer was starting to weaken but his claws still proved dangerous. He got a hold of Loveless and was about to bite him before Darlena attacked him causing him to drop Loveless. Darlena used her sword to slash him across the legs and Nikkii got another blast in on him. Kalysta's spells wore open a whole in his chest, now he was vunerable.
" Take his head.... Do it now." Nikkii shouted.

Phelan had snuck up behind the denoucer during combat and now he had the Denoucer where he wanted him. Phelan planted his boot in back of the Denouncers knee bringing him down to his knees. Phelan crossed his swords, one on each side of the Denouncers neck and he pushed them forwards as he uncrossed the blades. The head rolled loose at came to rest at Lady Nikkii's feet. Phelan sighed and slowly walked backwards to until his back bumped the wall. His feet slid forward as he slid down the wall to a sitting position with bent knees. He dropped his swords and closed his eyes, sweat dripped off his brow as well as blood from some minor injuries. Exhaustion gripped him and he fell asleep.

" Throw his body in the fire quickly." Nikkii grabbed his heaad and shoved Keyra's sword into the base of his skull.Darlena drug the corpse into the fireplace and watched it burn. Loveless went back to Keyra's body and held her hand. They all had serious injuries and the fighting out in the hall started to die down as the word of the Grand denouncers defeat spread. Nikkii sat down beside Darlena and Adaun and took in what had just happened. Kalysta sat beside Phelan as he fell asleep unknowing that Naldany had given birth.
" My' Lady can't you restore life.... if so ..... restore Keyra's...... it would be fair." Loveless said sincerely.

Phelan fell over on to Kalysta's lap as he slept. Kalysta noticed blood coming from minor wounds all over him, she closed her eyes and quitely mumbled. She sighed as she felt part of her slide away and she felt fatigued. The wounds on his body slowly closed up and quit bleeding.

Adaun knew her jaw was broken, she could feel the break. She felt her face swelling up because of it also. She opened her mouth to speak and pain stabbed at her and she whimpered. She tried to lift her right arm to cover her mouth but it hung limply at her side unmoving. Adaun wondered if this had all been worth it, it seemed that Lady Nikkii had flipped open a new grave so the saying went. She honestly hoped so.

" Adaun if you are in need of healing I can help you know.."
Soon the room filled with the house occupants. The priestestess began healing them, Nikkii looked over at Keyra and stood up and went over to her. She kneed down by her and brought her hands over her. Keyra took a deep gasps as she was revived by Nikkii.
" There we are even now Keyra ... you may stay until you are able to move again. Loveless the same goes to you as well."
Nikkii was greeted by the her new attendants and they told her of Naldany and the baby. Nikkii smiled and went to Phelan and kneeled down infront off him.
" Your son is waiting to meet you .... they are asleep in her chambers"

The silent master crouched in the corner, the pain of his wound was beginning to catch up with him. He watched the new mother and her baby sleep. Hopefully his master would approve of his actions. He decided to wait for the father before he left.
"Thank you," he said to the mid-wife.

As the O'seth tiredly gathered the dead, they noticed the approach of the Fenn'dal guard. The captain walked up to who seemed to be in charge.
"My lord has requested that we take over guarding duties for the O'Seth house so that your house has time to recover."
The O'seth guard stared in disbelief.
"That would be fine, just let me clear it with my lady," the O'seth guard said back to him.
The guard proceeded into the church to look for Lady Nikki. He found her in the denouncer's former chambers.
"Please excuse the interruption my lady. The house guard of Fenn'dal has requested to take over guarding duties to help us recover. Shall I let them proceed?"

Phealn awoke in Kalysta's lap and Lady Nikkii over him. Smiling? He thought to himself. His son, his wife, that means they are ok.
"I missed it?" Phelan asked a bit dejectedly as he stood to his feet and then tried to help Kal to her feet but she blantently ignored him.
He jogged toward Naldany's chambers and entered quietly not wanting to wake her or his son. Phelan glanced to his wife with their son cradled in her arms while they slept. He didnt' notice at first but then he turned and saw the man that had helped Naldany while he went after the Denouncer. Anger flared inside Phelan, at the thought that this man was here while his son was born and not him, but it quickly died and became gratitude. Phelan was extermely grateful that someone was with her and took care of her during her labor.
