Phelan looked around, he had read about dwarves, he had never met one. Supposedly they were a goodly folk, but they also hate the Tier Dal with a passion, they would kill him and Naldany on site.
He chuckled, she was cute when she was worried, he thought as he looked at Naldany. Well she was always cute, but even more so now. He hugged her and kissed her again. They would be ok.
" Don't worry, we shall find our way around here. Do you know what direction either Neriak or Klick Annon or even Seriak is? " Phelan asked Naldany who was still blushing.

" Umm I think Seriak is East of here but we have to either go the the orc tunnel then past either Tethelin or Rivervale. But I believe there is a troll village near us .. uhh Baga I think its called. ... Hey the land of those barbarians is north from here."
Naldany peers over the side of the mammoth pyramid then walks down the staircase.
" Phelan have you ever seen a dwarf?"

" No.. I haven't, Have you my dear? " phelan asked.
Phelan didnt' know if he wanted to. Shorter than a Tier Dal but twice as wide and nothing but muscle and bone, supposedly some of the toughest wrought warriors of Norath were dwarves. Phelan knew that they should take great caution not to be seen. He followed Naldany down the stairs, he wished he had more time with his new blades.
Phelan, pulled his fine purple cloak closer about him and hid his swords from view, if they did encounter a dwarf maybe there was a non confrontaional way out of it. Phelan thought to himself.

" There was a female.. They brought her back the day my parents died here... those blades you carry was my fathers I hope they serve you like they did him."
Naldany chants a spell of invisability on herself then moves toward the dwarf city.
" C'mon lets have a look before we set off."

Phelan watched as Naldany chanted and then became invisible. Phelan froze, he knew that he wasn't invisible. Phelan cleared his throat.
" Umm.... Naldany?.... you want me to get in a fight? or just wait here? " Phelan said with a wink, where he thought she was standing.
Her fathers swords... I am honored he thought. It must have been painful for her to give them to him. I was deeply in her debt.

" Oh I am sorry... here."
She reappeared right behind him the casted her spell on him then again on herself.She grabbed Phelan by his shirt and they went toward the dwarfs.
" Are dwarfs really tuff.. .. It took alot to bring my parents down. I think they can't touch you."

Phelan blushed. She held him in high regard, though he was positive she could defeat him in a matter of seconds. He was good with a sword but he was far from the best. His style was very unique, fierce but graceful, like a dance. Elvish in nature with a Tier Dal twist.
" I think, my dear that you pay me undue praise. I am sure that dwarves are a formidable foe. I would much rather be friends with a dwarf than an enemy. But that is true with any race. " Phelan said.

They neared the dwarven city of Moradhim and it seemed Naldany was enjoying the thrill of sneaking into danger. In neriak all she is ..is a policital figure head, with Phelan she could be just another tier'dal. She stopped and let Phelan's hand go then went up to the coachmans stable. It wasn't very guarded Naldany then went back to where she left Phelan. She left her invisibilty fall off her and looked for Phelan.
" Phelan... lets have some fun with these scuffy looking people."

Phelan groaned, what did she mean by fun. Maybe he was deluding himself by thinking she could maybe also get past the prejudices of being raised in Neriak. Phelan grabbed her by the wrist.
" What do you mean fun? " Phelan said in a low tone, that told her that he was extremely serious.

Naldany could sense Phelan was serious when he asked her. She was doing to be honest with him since he was with her.
" I want them to hurt.. I want to see them panic so I was going to kill a guard then steal a horse from them. What do you think my love?"

Phelan sighed. He thought that this would be the case. He didn't think he woudl be able to talk her out of it, but he had to try. A moral dilema began to develop for him. He had to defend the innocent, but this was his wife, would he really raise her fathers blades at her? He knew that he would if he had to, he knew that he couldn't hurt her merely dissuade her. He also knew that if she wanted to get nasty he didn't stand a chance.
" I think... that you would be making a mistake if you were to do so. Revenge does not bring redemption. " Phelan said, a tear slid down his cheek, dont do this he silently screamed in his head.

A dwarf guard waddled past them as they went unnoticed. Naldany's hands began to glow like they did when she set the forest on fire and her eyes grew dark. Phelan knew what she was about to do. Naldany moved away from him to get a good view of the guard. It was like his words went unherd as the guard walked along unknowing that he was about to be reduced to ash. Naldany looked as though she was putting everything into this spell.

Phelan hung his head briefly. So this is how it is to be. He moved in front of her while she was chanting. He looked deep into her eyes, he hoped that she would do the same and see the pain in his, but her hate had overwhelmed her. Phelan made his decision and lunged for her hands.

The suddeness of Phelan grabbing her hands stopped her from fininishing her spell as it dissapated from her and her eyes returned to normal.
" Why are you stopping me this is what we are suppose to do, they would kill us without a second thought. Our children would you have them let them live?"
The guard turned around to see what was that commotion behind him but by the time he looked back Naldany had used her spell to conseal them. Phelan grabbed her wrist and lead her back out of the dwarfs range then sat her down.
" We need transportation that little flare up i just had drained me for now."

" What did that Dwarf do to you? Hmm was that the one who killed your parents?..... How is it fair to persecute them for being just like the whole Tier Dal nation and believing that being different makes us unable to communicate, to interact, to be civil?...... I refuse to belive that all Dwarves given a chance to know me would kill me, or even you for that matter.......
As for transportation, what is wrong with walking, if I carry you? "
He knew that she wasnt' happy with him, but some how he had stopped her from making a mistake. He also knew that this maybe the end of her respecting him and caring for him, but he couldnt' stand by and watch an innocent be murdered.
