Phelan walked into his and Naldany's room. He saw her fast asleep in her clothes on the bed and Aramis still awake in the crib. Phelan undressed Naldany ever so gently so as not to wake her and dressed her for bed. He gently lifted her so she was laying in bed and tucked the covers over her. He bent down and kissed her.
"Good bye" Phelan whispered. Phelan Picked up Aramis he hugged him and kissed his forhead and then put him gently back down in his crib. Phelan headed for the door, but couldnt' force himself to abandon Aramis to the evils that lay in this house. Phelan slumped to the floor against the wall and cried.

Darlena stopped at the door and listened to Phelan for a moment before Nikkii came to her.
"Leave him alone .... he will have to come to terms with things on his own. Now go to sleep I'll be taking the child in the morning, hopefully the stunt he pulled earlier was a fluke or he might be very powerful when he grows up."
" It's wasn't right to do that to them .... him and Kalysta. Those two was in love and you have just pitted them against eachother and Naldany is caught in this now."
" Thats it ... I will not hear anymore of this tonight go to your chambers child."
Nikkii smiled as she herd Phelan and escorted Darlena to her chambers before going to her own to sleep for the night.

Phelan fell asleep on the floor, whith his legs bent and his head resting on his arms. Phelan woke up in the middle of the night and realized that he was still covered in the dried blood of Nikkii's conquest.
Phelan went and drew himself a bath and threw the clothes in the corner of the wash chamber. Phelan stepped into the water and instanly the water became a light pinkish hue. He shuddered at the thought of all those killed for Nikkii's desires. He lathered himself with soap and scrub furiously but the blood on his hands wouldn't come off.
He scrubbed and scrubbed but his hands wouldnt' come clean. Tears fell from his eyes as he slummped to the bottom of the now empty tub. He cradled himself in the tub and cried himself to sleep in the now pink tinged tub.

Naldany woke up when she noticed Phelan wasn't with her and she was redressed in the bed. She looked over to Aramis sleeping in his crib. Something caught her attention, someone was in the tub. She quietly looked in and saw Phelan laying there. She didn't know if he was sleeping or worst. Naldany crept down to him and shook him on the shoulder.
" My love.. are you still with us?"

Phelan looked down at his hands and saw that the blood was gone though he could still feel it on his hands. He looked up and saw Naldany looking down at him with an odd look. Slowly he sat up and tried to collect his thoughts.
"Yes I still draw breath." Said in a hollow voice as he stood and wandered into the other room to find some clothes.

" Phelan do you mind explaining why you was asleep in the tub or is this a new thing." Naldany said smiling as she walking behind him and to Aramis's crib. " I think he will be a positive influence of our society.... don't you think?"

"I really don't feel like talking about why I was in there. " Phelan said a bit more sharply than he intended and then looked at his son. "I hope so dear, I hope so." Phelan said his voice full of worry.
Phelan rummaged through the dresser and found the plainest white shirt there was, it looked almost like the one he had come there in. He pulled the shirt on and some black leather pants he found in the bottom of the drawer. He grabbed his old pair of boots and put them on, fixed his hair in its customary pony tail and belted on his sword belt.

Naldany was taken back with his tone and went to sit on there bed. She started becomming angry with how Phelan was about to leave her again. She didn't like not knowing to her it was like not being able to see.
" Why are you dressing .... its nearly morning and you are not telling me anything.... What happened to you ?"
Her raised voice nearly woke the child.

"What happened to me? Why do you care? As long as you listen to your Auntie my opinion, thoughts and feelings will never matter.... " Phelan said in a fierce whisper so as not to wake his son. He pause for a second and sighed. ".. I am sorry, your aunt doesn't respect me one bit and it makes me wonder if you even really care for me, you never disagree with her. Phelan sat on the bed next to Naldany with his head hung and his shoulders slumped.

A light knock on the door rose Adaun from her slumber. She sprang to her feet and ran for the door thinking it was Lady Nikkii coming to berate her for missing dinner. She opened the door and was a bit taken back at the pathetic scrawny Dark elf that stood before her.
"What?" Adaun said with annoyance.
"You have a correspondence" The Delf said and hand her the letter. He turned and scurried away leaving her standing in her doorway alone. She went back into her room and closed the door. She opened the letter, it read:
Dear Miss Adaun,
I recently heard you have come back to Neriak. I have some news for you. Please drop by my lodgings at your earliest convenience.
Patryas
Patryas? she thought. Could it be? The boy Phelan and I used to play with? It must be, Patryas sent the soilders to help, but why? Adaun decided that she had missed dinner and should go find Nikkii before she went anywhere.
She quickly bathed and did her hair and redressed in her armor and left.

"I don't always agree with her, infact I was suppose to kill you after you gave me your seed but I couldn't do it. You was far to special to me to be destroyed. Naldany got up and went to Aramis's crib and took him out. " We're going for a walk through the church you might want this time to think things through a bit.... "
Naldany left out with the child still in her night attire.

Phelan didnt' know what to do. He felt like his world was tumbling down around them. Phelan shook his head as he walked out the door and headed for the courtyard. He didn't want to run into Nikkii, she had tricked him into supporting her.
The blood of those men were on Phelan's hands. Phelan wiped his hands on his pants, he could still feel the sticky coagulated blood on his hands, even though there was nothing there. Maybe he was no different than the rest of his race. He was bred for war, when he fought his mind and body were one. There was a clairity that was only obtained in combat. He looked out over the water, was he fighting a fight that he couldnt' win? Maybe it was innevitable that he, like the rest of his race, was turning out to be an instrument of evil.

Adaun began looking for Nikkii untill she realized what time it was. She didnt' want to upset her futher by interupting her sleep so she headed out to visit Patryas. She didnt' care if she woke him up or not. She slipped out the front door and reread the note as she walked, not noticing Phelan gazing out over the water.
What could he possibly want? she thought as she came walking up to the door to the Fenn'dal house. She knocked loudly. Adaun's story continued in Shadowed Meetings

Naldany snuck up behind Phelan and slip Aramis down into his lap and sat beside him. She didn't want to say anything to him at first not after the talk they just had. She kissed him on the cheek and rested her head on him. After a bit someone limped up behind them, Naldany looked back and it was Keyra ...sickly and pale still from being revived.
" Where is Lady Nikkii at...." Keyra said in a sore scatchy voice.
Darlena sat in her room and wondered what Elindar and Nobel was doing. She made a small note and left it on her door.
Mother I'm going to see Elindar in tethelin .... I won't stay too long but I can't stand being seperated from him... I think I do care for him.
Darlena

Phelan didn't say anything when she put Aramis in his lap nor when she kissed him. He did look at her and smile and bounced Aramis on his knee. Keyra spoke and Phelan couldn't help but shake a bit at the sound of her voice.
"She is about somewhere I am sure. Are you feeling better? " Phelan said in an almost friendly voice, but he didnt' look at her.
