"He has become dangerous, maybe his mind is too twisted to be brought back. Like Keyra. Your mother will use him to find us and attack us... I'm just as lost as you, what can we do?" Phelan said grimacing as he sat up in the bed.

"He doesn't grasp the fact that we care for him and this is the best place for him... All I get from him is anger and hurt. Pampering him got me no where and being strict did little more than push him further." Naldany dried her eyes.
"It wasn't just mother that twisted him..... I have blame to be placed in me for what I did. I told him to hate, I let him be what his is.... and mother allowed and encouraged it till he started to cause problems... I think I will have to atone for that by allowing him to fight me and I either beat him or he kills me."

"Beat him or Kill him?" Phelan asked in an ominous tone.
His blue eyes glinted in the moon light that filtered in as he stared at his wife.

Naldany looked in shock at him it took her a moment for that to sink in. "I can't kill him an doubt I could ever.... he's all I got if you go. Zealott loves him too and I would die if she ended up hating me.. The only other option I fell would be left is to let him go back to Neriak where he would be killed by mother's enemies."
Zealott started to wake from the sound of the voices. "Daddy your awake! She hugged his neck and kissed his check.
"Sweety I need to talk to your father, go get in your bed an go back to sleep.... Tailu is already sleeping."
Zealott looked at them bothand started to read their auras before Naldany shook her head. "To bed young lady.."

Tailu gave a sigh and shut the door behind her as she left. Phelan looked into Naldany's eyes as he spoke.
"Look, if you challenge him or let him face you, you will have to kill him to win. In some ways he is very much like me. If the cause is worth dying for nothing will hold us back. In other ways he is nothing like me, he lacks one ounce of compassion. I don't know what the answer is, but I know that life without you would be meaningless."

Naldany hugged Phelan and didn't say anything more to him, simply undressed and slipped into bed. Her mind weighed out the possiblilties of letting Aramis go, killing him or even giving in and ending his existance. Soon she was asleep and Nikkii's voice haunted her dreams.
Darlena and Elindar took their time walking up and down the coastline the moonlight making the couple cast a shadow. Camp fires burned from the orc settlement further down, Elindar kicked off his boots and the two sat at the waters edge allowing the surf to hit their feet.
"Tomorrow I will see if your brother in law and his son are interested in learning hunter fighting techniques. Not to worry nothing to harm my two women just some of their tactics they like to employ now."
"Well I have no problem with that it's just his son is already a handful an doesn't seem to take anything said to him seriously, frankly he is turning out be a tyrant.... Like mother wanted."

Soon the two retired to the cabin for the remained of the night Naldany and Phelan was already asleep. A few hours later the sun was starting to rise and with it the community started stirring, Olantar now had a group going out to hunt for food along with the aid of a few elves.
The girls was soon up and outside with other children their ages casting spells and playing as Aramis brooded watching Olantar's group leave. The smells of cooking fires soon awoke Naldany, she stretched and ran some water to wash herself. Looking over to Phelan she thought again about what must be done their son.

Phelan fell asleep for awhile, but woke early in the morning hours. Naldany slept beside him, but her face spoke of ill dreams. Phelan slipped out of bed and pulled on some clothes and snuck outside to the porch. His head began to throb as he stood there surveying the small community that had sprung up seemingly over night. He was impressed with the progress that had been made, many family's had already completed their houses and were helping others to establish theirs.
Defences need to be in place by the end of the week. Nikkii will find out soon enough and will come with her full force. What then will happen? Phelan thought standing there looking out at the houses. Pictures of fireballs and lightening raining down from the heavens filled his mind. Childeren laying about dead and their fathers being murdered in the streets. all for what? Phelan thoguht. Because Nikkii throws a tantrum? Because our race has been reduced to a pack of squabbling children who will do whatever it takes to get what they want, no matter what the cost to anyone else? That isn't going to happen. Phelan thought clenching the railing in his hands and his knuckles turned white.

Neriak had quieted down over the last week now, the bounty hunters was off searching for Phelan and her girls. The church was running it's services but the classes of maidiens was now much smaller and closely watched. Nikkii sipped her wine followed by a few mages and other priestess completely loyal to her.
"There is a report from seriak saying that a few dark elves from an unknown house that had an encounter with the orcs of the area, the fate of them was not reported." One of he mages said.
"Yes M'lady also elvish patrols have changed their usual patrols and doubled their scouts along the boarders making spying very difficult." Another added.
"So that could mean that Naldany teleported them there and they fought those beasts.... as far as the elves go that bastered dark elf and my traitorus daughter have ties there.... hire some of the V'gen's best assassin's they can deal with a few elves..... and kill Phelan and Olantar." Nikkii smirked. "I want my grand children brought back alive..... my girls too. They will be publicly beaten and executed....."
"Yes Lady Nikkii...." The group said in unison.

Loveless and Keyra strolled the forests, Keyra not taking her eyes off the darkelf's back thinking of where best to place a dagger. I could do it quickly enough..... he's far to over confident and by now I'm surely stronger than he is.
"Still plotting against me huh?" Loveless smirked and kept going. "We are going to check in on some old friends..... how would you like to visit Neriak?"

The birds chirpped and Phelan just watched out over the small community. Though his wound throbbed with every pulse of his heart. His dream weighed on him. He knew that he would have to seek out Gaien, but he wouldn't leave his family in the disaray it was now in. After several minutes he felt eyes upon him, staring intently. He glanced causualy behind him and saw Zealott watching him intently.
"What are you doing up already young one?" Phelan said.

"The noises and Grandmother's thoughts... I see her comming here to visit you and mommy.... the birds are loud and Tailu snores.." Zealott hugged Phelan and came up to the railing. "The angry lady was with her and and another evil man that is like aunt Darlena..... their swords was covered in blood daddy...... What does that mean?"
Elindar was soon outside standing by Phelan taking in the morning air. He stretched a bit and peered out over the lake.
"Quiet a gift she posses my friend. I'm afraid that witch of neriak will be on our borders soon and I hope to finally spill her blood for the crimes she has committed over the last few years.... You need a watch over your village till I can gain full approval from our senate... My people can assist you for a bit longer if you wish just promise me you will keep Tailu and Darlena safe."

"They will be safe. In fact I think we will spring a trap instead of being caught with our pants down as it were." Phelan said with a smile and turned to Zealott.
"Go get Mommy and send her to me please." Phelan said, she nodded and scurried off with a smile.
Phelan turned back to Elindar.
"I'm thinking that perhaps we can procure some large amounts of black powder from the gnomes rid ourselves of Loveless, Darlena and Nikkii once and for all." Phelan said his hand clenching into a fist as he spoke.

"The bandit's Loveless and Keyra..... Keyra won't be much of a problem to trap she is the most foolish of the three, she is more brave than wise. Seeing things like the attention she gets from the murders she commits as a challenge and has thus far killed those seeking revenge." Elindar sighed thinking back on the deads done by her. "My father placed a large bounty on her head that pretty much has kept her out of the deeper parts of our lands. Loveless is a much harder case...... he isn't quiet as predictable.... a vagabond, drifter."
Naldany stepped out of the cabin and kissed Phelan on the cheek as Elindar continued.
"He'll show where ever there is chaos to be had and some innocent to be twisted as Keyra, luckly enough he has a love for the two women Keyra and Nikkii although I'm not sure what is his reasoning."
"Mother won't walk into such traps so easily..... she'd send assailant after assailant before she'd soil her hands at doing something with no gaurantee she would get her way... Loveless would come here just to anger Phelan and try to kill me... Keyra thinks Phelan and her are having some deadly game. But Nikkii she won't come outside of Neriak unless she knew she could get the children." Naldany glared at Elindar.
"Kara Village.... they have the black powder. There is a gnome uh Fizzmopp I think his name is, we can go there and see about getting this for you but are you willing to share this plan of yours?" Elindar smiled back at Naldany seeing Darlena emerging from their room.

Phelan glanced about looking for Aramis before he started talking.
"Well we will disguise those that need to be safe as elves of your kind and send them into your village until the danger passes. I will bait Keyra and Loveless into the middle of our little trap, we will have to build some extra buildings to store the quantaties of black powder I am thinking of. Once in the middle one or two fireballs should tear up this place fairly well and devestate the bulk of Nikkii's forces. Even if she isn't among them it will still make her think twice before another move like this." Phelan said.
"And who stays to fight and who goes?" Elindar asked.
"The young girls and Naldany and Darlena and the children from the families." Phelan said.
"And your boy?" Elindar asked.
Phelan looked to Naldany.
"I think he will be staying. Let's keep this private until we know what we can and can't make happen." Phelan said.
Darlena and Naldany exchanged glances.
"What is it?" Phelan asked Naldany.
