" No one has ever said such things to me .. yet you speak with passion... I guess thats from your time with the dals. I guess your right... but thats all I was taught to do. We will do fine without the horses."
Naldany offers her hand up to Phelan. " Are we to go back to teir'dal lands or would we go elsewhere.... my love."

" As I said before my dear, it is up to you. I just don't understand why we all must hate, that is all, it doesn't make sense to me.
There is a place for fighting, there is a time for it, when others take advantage of people, when your life is threatened, and the such. But to be the instigator of such things goes agaisnt my very core,
I feel that this is something I have always known. Perhaps that is why events in my life have happened the way they have, to teach me lessons in life. With each passing day I feel that I have grown just bit as a person, that through my actions others may see and recognize the lessons I have learned."
Phelan didn't mean to speak about such things at length, they just rolled form his mouth. He hoped that this would do Naldany some good to hear, she had been raised in Neriak, but not only that she was raised in a high station as well. Phelan didnt know if she could grasp the things he was speaking of.

" Maybe I could try another portal spell later but for now I need to regian my strength they take alot out of me going great distances. A troll outpost only a bit south from here. If you can carry me there."
Naldany realised he had more integrity than she thought he didn't care that he was now in a posistion of power in Neriak he didn't even want to return. Although she could tell there was a conflict within him and the scars be bore. Maybe Nikkii had a reason on why she chose him to be her mate.
" Phelan tell me of your time with elfs and humans.. I would like to see these someday."

Phelan scooped up Naldany in his arms and she put her arms around his neck. He kissed her and began walking in the direction of the outpost.
He started at the beginning with the destruction of his house and his running from Neriak fearing for his life. He related his wanderings till he finally ended up being saved by Aramis. He told her about the years of training and learning from Aramis and the horrid night he had to kill his friend. At the telling of Aramis' demise his voice quivered and a few tears fell from his eyes and slid down his cheeks, he tilted his head back and forced back the tears. He continued on with his return to Neriak and his encounter with Gaien and all of his adventures up untill now. Then he walked in silence feeling emotionally drained and reflecting internally.
Maybe she can understand what I am saying. He thought and smiled at that thought.

Another thought struck him, he couldnt' point to Kalysta anymore, he coudlnt' feel her, come to think of it, it had been awhile since he noticed a connection with her. He couldnt' remember when it had happened. I hope she is ok. Phelan thought.

" Phelan I can see you have been through alot.... but you can't just turn your back on you own people. I thought of you as object at first. But your not...."
She thought of what he said about his travels and her cousin was still alive and a werewolf.
" When I rest up I would like to see " Darlena" myself.."

" How can I have hope for my people, when thier entire way of life is backstabbing and lying and hate? I know our people have the capicity, but all that I have met have been outside of Neriak, once they leave Neriak and see the world it seems that some of our people see what I have seen. I just dont know Nal... So now I am more than an object to you? That is well, cause I care a great deal for you. "
Phelan said as he carried her onward.

" I quit thinking of you as an object when you came back to get me out of my room. It was also when you took me away from there I thought our people needed to change..... Is Darlena really that strong? And I can't believe you challenged aunt Nikkii, she is a good fighter herself. But her weaknes is against those that weild magic."
Before long they reached the troll village and was told that the inn resided alongside the river a mile away. Phelan sighed and they went a bit further then they made it to the inn. Naldany paided for a room and they went inside for the night.

Naldany awoke he next morning with Phelan beside her sleeping soundly. She kissed him on his forehead and slid out of the bed. She quickly dressed herself and quietly left the room. She stepped outside the inn and conjured a white owl she wrote a message on a piece of paper and tied it to the owl then sent it away. Some of the women was talking about something ...sounded like orcs. Naldany didn’t know if Phelan had woken up up yet the sun hadn’t risen yet.
“Excuse me... what was you saying about the orcs here?” Naldany asked one of the women that was beside a well.
“ Well these frosteye orcs have been sneaking into our area and stealing food. I told my husband to do something but he keeps putting it off.”<br>
“ Where are they comming from?”<br>
“ They have several camps around the area... but take caution there are wereloins in the area.”<br>
This was perfect Phelan could test his blades on those orcs and she could practice her spells. She wanted to make up for what she did back in moradhim and this would make him happy she hoped. She stopped by the kitchen and got some food for him.She thought how weird it felt to be doing something for someone else.. Serving someone, she just hoped he wasn’t up yet.

Phelan slept almost soundlessly. In fact Phelan hadn't barely twichted a muscle all night long. Phelan had hit the bed the night before and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
His sleep became wrestless and the rolled about and twitched. A dark expression had come over his face. Phelan mumbled in his sleep.
Phelan opened his eyes and found himself amongst the trees of his adopted elven forest home. Something was wrong though, something was lacking, a void. Something signifcant had changed, not just here but throughout all of Norath.
Phelan walked through the forest and a smoke swirled around him. He wandered through the heavy dark mist, while unseen hands groped at him tried to pull him into the darkness but he contiued forward shrugging them off. He didn't know his destination but he could feel others were following him. He knew that somehow their fate rested on him. He shoulders sagged with burden, why me he thought, I dont' know where I am going.
The fog swirled and then blackness.
Phelan awoke with a start and sit upright in bed. The sheets flew from the bed. Must be night time still Phelan thought because he couldnt' see anything.

Naldany managed to open the door quietly so she wouldn't wake Phelan. She crept into the room holding a plate of food but sighed when she saw he was sitting up.
" I didn't wake you did I? She sits beside him and offers the plate.
" Here try this." She tries to feed him then notices his eyes are azure blue and he hasn't looked at her at all.

" Its not night the sun has risen and what is wrong with your eyes thats normal." She waves her hand infront of his face and almost poked him in his eyes and he didn't react.
" How can this be my love I think you've gone blind. I hope this isn't a side effect of my spells or you being so close to me... "
Naldany started to panic at the thought of Phelan's loss of sight

Phelans smile slowly faded from his face, he could tell by the tone in Naldany's voice that she wasn't joking. Phelan gasped and brought his hands to his eyes.
"How can this be?.... It is not your spells my dear. It...it is something else.... " Phelan whispered. Phelan smiled before he spoke again.
" ...at least the last thing I saw was your beautiful face...." Phelan paused for a long moment and drew in a ragged breath.
" Maybe there is a healer near by that may be able to help " Phelan said and his voice quavered.
Am I never to see another sunset or sunrise? To see the brilliant blue skies? To look at my wife? Or my friends? Phelan thought as despair began to set in.

" Healer.. yes I'll get one now please try not to move."
Naldany ran out of the room and downstairs. She asked every human there in the inn if they was a healer. She almost gave up hope when an older man told her he was. She grabbed him by the wrist an nearly drug him back to Phelan.
