"I dont' know, I dont' think it will be." Phelan's heart skipped and then his brain cursed his heart. Now he would be in more fo a spot than before. He knew he really just need some time to himself more than anything. Aramis pulled on his hair hard.
"ouch." Phelan said mockingly as he tickled Aramis again at this point they were at the door and Phelan walked in smiling.

Naldany rushed up to Phlan and took Aramis from him and cuddled him.
" Oh thank you Phelan I was so worried, I never dreamed he could do that."
"It's almost dinnertime .... come on you two a mage could probably make a charm to block is ability.... Phelan you could speak to mother there." Darlena said smiling.
"Yes my love I'm starving and if he teleports you'll be next to me."

Adaun followed the guards trying to catch up to them, her fatigue had returned and she was having trouble staying awake. When she finally slowed one of them down enough to find out what was going on she sent them all back to their posts and she headed for her room.

Nikkii stood in the dinning chamber unsure of how many defected from the house, It would do her no good if there was no followers. Slowly the hall filled him members of the house and sevants. They took their places about the table as Nikkii sat where the Denouncer use to. She hadn't seen Darlena or Phelan yet and for that matter Adaun. Kalysta sat at her side her new assistant.
" You will become more comfortable here over time I'm sure, Althugh I would have liked my Daughter to have had your position but in time who knows."

Shrugged to the two women and led the way toward the dining room. He walked on in silence, mulling things over in his mind. He looked at the floor as he contimplated things.

Adaun was exhausted when she finally made it to her room, she knew she was late for dinner, but hopefully Lady Nikkii would understand. She pulled a dress from her closet and sat on the bed. Her body gave out and she collapsed on the bed asleep.

Darlena and Naldany was first ones into the hall with Phelan closely behind. Darlena sat next to Nikkii as Naldany and Phelan. Most of the women of the house looked at Aramis as he sat in Naldany's lap. Nikkii did have much to say before they ate. The dinner went quietly, Kalysta occasionally glanced up at Phelan but uttered not a word. Naldany smiled at Kalysta and lifted Aramis so she could see him.

Phelan sat in complete silence, he picked at his food. He didnt' look up from his plate for most of the meal, He looked at Aramis twice and glanced at Naldany and then a long look at Kalysta and that was it.
He finally pushed his plate back and stood. He bowed to Lady Nikki and gave her an appologetic look.
"I am sorry M'lady, if you will excuse me I think I may be a bit ill." With that he stepped away from the table and stalked out of the room, he continued on out of the house and then continued on a path straight out of Neriak.

Aramis started to cry as Phelan left the room. Nikkii glared as she held her gobblet up.
" What is wrong with that boy..... I can't believe thay child care already for him."
Naldany quieted the child and wondered what bothered him so badly then she looked at Kalysta.Everyone finished up and departed their seperate ways for the night. Nikkii stood outside the church with Kalysta.
" My'lady... I think my presence bothers Phelan."
" He is of no concern to us things are as they should be now with women in power.... this house will be strong again."

Phelan walked out of Neriak and began the long and difficult climb to the top of the volcano that Neriak sat under. It took him a few hours before the top was in site.
Phelan finally made it to the top of the volcano and sat with his legs over the edge staing at the broiling orange liquid. The heat calmed and soothed his nerves, the smell was a bit strong, but he didnt' care he just wished to be alone.
The past few months had taken a toll on him. How long had it been since he had come to this place seeking his homeland? He couldnt' help but remeber the shock he felt at being an outcast in his supposed homeland.
Was it worth continuing? A Tier'dal that was no Tier'dal, A teir'dal with no place in the city that was his own, no where did he fit in. It would be so easy to just let go and fall. He had tossed rocks into the liquid when he was a child, with a Teir'dal boy that used to play with him and Adaun, he knew that it would burn a rock. It would dispose of me well too, he thought.
I have a wife that doesn't understand me, but still thinks she loves me, An Aunt who only sees me as a tool, I am in love with a woman who I can't be with and she lives in the same house as me. How do I do this to myself he thought.

Naldany and Aramis lingeed around a bit before heading back to their chambers. Aramis was asleep now and Naldany was worried about Phelan's whereabouts as she layed him in his new crib.
Darlena kept to herself and thought about going back to Tethelin to see Elindar. Keyra was slowly getting her ability to move back soon she could be up again.

Phelan sighed as he stood and threw a small rock int the liquid, it was gone the instant it touched it.
"Don't go anywhere I may still see you yet." Phelan said to the liquid as it churned and bubbled. Phelan realized he had spent a few hours up there and going down would still take at least another hour if not two. He tried to hurry back he didnt' want the house guard looking for him. Not to mention that his son was probably wondering where his Father went. Phelan entered Neriak two hours later sweat dripping from his brow.

Darlena was outside sitting at the waters edge sharping her sword. She wasn't use to the city life anymore.... maybe she had grown wild in her years. She sighed as she looked at the church and thought she might still not fit in. Nikkii had stepped out once again and sat beside Darlena.
" You need to rest.... I want you working with Kalysta since you know her better than I do. Also ...... Aramis will be tested for classification tomorrow."
" Mother, why do you not sound happy with the naming of Phelan's son?"
" It's not a name for a dark elf. When you have a child ... I would expect a dark elf name as well. I don't feel right teaching a dark elf with no pride."
At that moment Phelan stepped up.

"So now the truth comes out...You just wanted my help in overthrowing your father, you care nothing for anything other than your own schemes. Your heart and soul are blacker than any night could ever hope to be." Phelan said quivering with rage. He stepped past the two women and headed for the doors of the church.

" Is what he said true, mother?"
Nikkii stood up and walked away without a word. Darlena ran to catch up to Phelan hoping to smooth things over with him before another conflict started so soon. She soon saw him and thought what would she be able to tell him. Don't hate her.... she isn't that bad. No, Maybe she has no real feeling other than what suits her. Darlena stopped shy of Phelan and left him continue as she slid down and sat there on the floor without any word of friendship to him.
Naldany had fallen asleep across the bed still in her clothes from the dinner as Aramis crawled about his crib. Nikkii went to her chamber to prepare for the next day and a possible confrontation with Phelan over the child.
