" So where are we going?"
Naldany sits up and fixes her robe.
" You never said where we're going.. Are we going to Freeport or Highpass I haven't been there before."

" Where would you like to go my dear? Freeport I have been there before, but we can go anywhere you like." Phelan said.
Phelan had expected her to want to go home, he smiled at the fact that she wanted to go see the world. Phelan looked for his clothes they were strewn all about, he finally gathered them together and got dressed. He held his chain mail shirt before him and shook his head at the gaping hole in the chest.
He put it on anyways, he would have to see about getting it repaired sooner or later. He looked at the swords that Naldany had given him, they were exquisitly decorated, with a hanguards that looked like skulls all in polished chrome, with gems imbedded in the pommell. He spun them around a few times, they would take a bit of getting used to but they were far better than the ones he had before.

" It doesn't matter where was you when Aunt Nikkii found you. And where did you learn to fight like that?"
Naldany draws out her sword and attempts to swing it.
" Teach me how to use this my magic has its limits you know."

" I was in freeport when your, er... Aunt Nikkii stumbled into me. As for where I learned to fight.... I learned from an elf."
Phelan took a pause to see her reaction and then continued. " and of course I will teach you, though I am not as skilled in fighting with one sword as two, I am still far better than most. But if we are to teach you that, this is the best place to learn. "
Phelan gestured to the cave and the woods about it.

" An elf... how is that possible wouldn't he have killed you instead of teach you?" She hugs Phelan and feels a new scar on his chest. She noticed that it didn't hurt him to touch but it bothered him.
She went a ways into the woods then back at Phelan as he walked up to her with a smile.
" Try the swords." She points to the new swords she gave to him.
" One freezes and the other burns. And I do notice that you carry them like a dal." She said with a smile.

Phelan looked around. He smiled.
" You want me to try them out?... You better stand back a bit, I will put them through a full routine. "
Phelan drew the swords in a blur throwing them through a series of arcs and slashes. He resheathed them just as fast as he drew them out, he sprinted toward a rock and lauched himself into the air and flipped. He tucked into a roll and drew his swords while he was rolling. He came back to his feet slashing and arcing. He resheathed his swords and bowed to Naldany.
" Thank you for this most wonderful gift. " He said as he walked up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss.

" Well lets go somewhere out of the neriak guards range. Maybe we can go to that Oasis Aunt Nikkii resides at. Why did you come wit her anyway I know she isn't the nicest of women but she has her moments.. it sad that we think it would be best if her memory stayed lost."
She starts to walk south as if she ws going toward Freeport.
"I'll follow you your more travelled than me."

Phelan starts walking next to her. He took her hand in his as they walked. He really didnt' feel like talking to her about why he had come to Neriak with Nikkii, but he felt that he owed it to her to tell the truth. He took a deep breath before he said anything.
" I will tell you, but you mustn't get mad or hurt. Your..er..our I guess, Aunt Nikkii was pursuing my friends and tried to use me against them at first...." Phelan related to her the tale in detail including the parts with Kalysta.
"... but you see, I stayed. You are not the person I thought you to be. I am glad I came back here with you, I dont' enjoy neriak still. But I do enjoy you. I did have a chance to escape and leave you in your room, but I couldnt' let you, I care about you, a great deal more than I realized. " Phelan said looking in to her eyes.

Naldany walked silently for awhile and squeezed Phelan's hand as hard as she could. Her pace started to slow till she almost stopped. She was hurt, but didn't want to show it there was also anger mounting within her but she held it in. Suddenly she started toward Klick Anon and her grip loosened as she started picking up her pace not once glancing at Phelan. She picked up the front of her robe as she moved faster. Finally a tear fell from her eye and Phelan saw it.
" We're going to Klick "

Phelan followed after her quickly. Phelan knew that she was hurt, he had seen her tear. She doesnt' understand. I feel for her too now. Why do I get myself into these messes, now I have hurt yet again another person. what is wrong with me, he thought as he caught up to her.
" May I ask why we are going to Klick? I thought I was going to teach you to use that sword of yours." Phelan said with a tears falling down his cheeks, he knew that he had hurt her deeply.

Naldany stopped and started crying on Phelan.
" I am not yours by choice... You were forced to be with me.... You love another woman ... not me... my aunt is your enemy."
Naldany falls to her knees still crying uncontrollably.
" If you want to go to her I won't stop you ... not that I could. The Gaurds will find me when I go back the way we came... I'll tell them I got out on my own."
She clenched a handfull of grass as she prepared for Phelan to leave.

Phelan didn't leave, he was tempted. He was suprised, seeing her crying, he realized that he loved her too. He was torn, he felt as if his heart would split, he wanted to run and be with Kal, but he didn't want to leave Naldany, he couldn't. She was his wife, that thought hit him too, his wife was on her knees crying because she thought he didnt' love her.
The next thing Phelan knew he was sitting next to Naldany craddling her in his arms crying with her. He couldn't go, something wouldnt' let him. He wouldnt' cause her pain. There they sat with Phelan holding her and whispering in her ear.
" I do love you, I do, I could have left when ever I wanted to, I could have fought, but I didnt'. Deep down inside I wanted to be with you. I... ::: sob::: I...:::sob::: I can't leave you." Phelan sat with her untill she finally fell asleep crying on his chest.
He carried her back to the cave for darkness was almost upon them. Another night in this cave. I wonder how many stories this cave has? How many things have unfolded unknown inside it? I have had revelations of my heart twice in its presence now, I wonder how many others have as well? Phelan thought as he tucked Naldany in while he sat thinking and staring at the stars.

Naldany woke up and saw Phelan was still with her. She sat up and came behind him and put her arms around him then kisses him.
" Should we find your friends or Deal with that elf umm Keyra. I know........ I want to see Kalysta for myself.. but I'll go where ever you do so long as you keep me with you."

Phelan looked at Naldany. He hadn't slept and his mind wasn't focusing well. Did she say she wants to see Kal? Hows that going to work? That I think would be the end of me, how do I do this to myself? Keyra, she had thrown the option into the air as well. Keyra should be dealt with, but could they even begin to make a difference. Phelan had faced Keyra twice now and been bested by her twice as well. He knew when it came down to it, he would lose.
" Naldany... I think it may be best for now... if we didnt' go to my friends. I dont' know how I will... relate to them what has happened. You metioned going after Keyra... I have faced her twice and failed twice. If we after her our demise is almost utterly certain, but if we caught her unaware... But I will do whatever you wish, where ever you wish to go I will stand by your side. "
Phelan said as he kissed her forehead and then hugged her.

"Can I show what I have been studing while you was out?"
A puzzled look came over his face, then his nodded to her.
" Saw what you can do so look at what I can do."
Naldany's hands glowed with a white aura then she let out a bolt of lighting from her and and cut down a tree. Then her hands glowed with a blue aura and froze a tree. She smiled at Phelan then fire shot from them but it set the forest on fire.
" Oh no.... not again Phelan I'm sorry I didn't mean too I just wanted to show you my abilities."
Phelan scoops her up and runs for cover in the cave.The smoke gets thicker and thicker till they couldn't see the flames outside and the heat was unbareable. Naldany grabbed Phelans hand and chantted a spell. The familiar blue light surrounded them then they appeared atop a black pyramid in a swamp. Moradhim could be seen in the distance.
" Opps I think I messed up my love."
